Two Library Patrons Win NOOK eReaderes

In celebration of National Library Week, Cook Memorial Public Library District sponsored the "Self-Check a Book, Win a NOOK" contest.

Two Cook Memorial Public Library District patrons won NOOK eReaders as part of the district's “Self-Check a Book, Win a NOOK” contest.

The winning contestant of the NOOK eReader at the Cook Park Library was Robert Lamantia, a long-time Cook Library patron and the winning contestant at the Aspen Drive Library was Adam Varghese, a Vernon Hills Hawthorn Elementary South student.

In celebration of National Library Week from April 10 - 17, Cook Memorial Public Library District sponsored the “Self-Check a Book, Win a NOOK” contest. 1,280 patrons at Cook Park and 677 patrons at Aspen Drive used the self-checkout machines and submitted their receipt each time they used it for a chance to win a NOOK eReader.

The winners were randomly selected on Monday, April 18 by Assistant Director of Support Services Lauren Cerniglia.

“We really wanted to encourage patrons to try our new, state-of-the-art self-checkout machines,” Cerniglia said. “Patrons were amazed how easy it was to check out their own materials and we were so pleased with the almost 2,000 entries that we received!”
