CONTEST RULES
Have fun. Write about whatever book you want – a novel, a comic, your science text book… Make us want to read that book!!
Boring legal stuff:
Your name, your e-mail address, the books you read and your thoughts about them are your personal information. Why do we need your personal information here? Well, we want to publish your reviews, and we need your name and e-mail address to help administer the contest. The Public Libraries Act is the law that lets us do this. We'll be protecting your privacy every step of the way, but if you have any questions about how we're going to do that, you can contact TPL's Privacy & Records Management Officer, 789 Yonge Street, Toronto, ON, M4W 2G8, 416-395-5658 or by e-mail at gnettlefold@torontopubliclibrary.ca

How do you write a review on a book? I have searched the whole site and cannot find anything that allows you to review a book.
Hi lianna, you just email the review to me at ksparling@torontopubliclibrary.ca and I will post up your review. Just please tell me also how old you are and what library branch is near you so I can send you a book prize to pick up there. If you have other questions, just ask!
How long is this contest going to last?
until I run out of books to give out!!
Does the review have to be positive or completely positive? I noticed the, ”Make us want to read that book!!” part but I just wanted to make sure.
Actually nevermind, sorry for the trouble
no trouble at all… as you probably gathered, the reviews certainly don’t have to be completely positive!
If you have other questions, just ask!
Is the contest still going on?
I’ve still got some books to give away, so yes, for sure, if you email me a review, I’ll send you a book. When you send the review, make sure to tell me how old you are and what Toronto Public Library branch to send your prize to. Email me at ksparling@torontopubliclibrary.ca
Look forward to seeing your review!
This is a really, really stupid question but can we still send in a book review even though summer’s over?
Please try to post an answer as fast as you can.
Hi Yoni, for sure, you can send me a book review at ksparling@torontopubliclibrary.ca and I’ll put it up on the TPL teens blog (since WORD OUT is over 🙁
And I’ll even still send you a book prize, so make sure to tell me what library branch you live close to.
