Summer Reader 2010 - Bug Hunt Wrap Up!

What a great contest this year!

We had slightly fewer contestants but even more bug submissions. What a Great job! The participants really worked hard at it this year and we appreciate their efforts.

I know, I know, I’m stalling. All you really want to know is who won, right? OK here goes……

  • 1st Place, winning a $300 Amazon Gift Certificate:
    • York County Public Library
  • 2nd Place, winning a $150 Amazon Gift Certificate:
    • Contra Costa County Library
  • 3rd Place, winning a $60 Amazon Gift Certificate:
    • Manhattan (KS) Public Library

I think the staff at York County may need to get a hobby. ;-D They were submitting bugs right up until 10:00 PM Sunday night. Good thing our developers don’t sleep much.

I thought about pushing the end of the contest out a week, but our developers are football fans and you should have seen the look they gave me when I mentioned it! We are in INDY after all.

GO COLTS!!!

I hope the contestants all had fun participating this year, we certainly had a great time running the contest. We always get some great feedback and insight into how libraries are using our products. Hopefully everyone can appreciate the results.

Thanks again for a great contest!
