The winners from last year are all great - and each has their own style. Looking forward to seeing this year's entries.

nice

If you participate in the summer reading program at the library you get points for every comment you post (50 points each). Also if you look at the names of those who comment "cool" to everything you will notice that those are the people who have the most points.
