TRENTON — Phase one of the New Jersey State Library’s “Tell Us Your Story” marketing program came to a close with the winners of the statewide video contest selected. Placing first with its video “Get Your Game On at Your Library” was the Cape May County Library.
A reception announcing the winning entry will take place on Monday, Aug. 17 at 2:30 p.m. at the Cape May County Library, 4 Moore Road, Court House. New Jersey’s State Librarian, Norma Blake, Library Journal’s 2008 National Librarian of the Year, will make the announcement.
As winner, the Cape May County Library will receive a door-to-door session from StoryCorps.
StoryCorps’ team of professional sound technicians will record interviews of community members selected by the library. One of those stories will be chosen and professionally edited into an audio soundtrack such as those heard on National Public Radio.
The statewide storytelling campaign was launched by the State Library and the NJ Library Association in October 2008 to interest and inspire libraries to collect stories from their customers about their library experiences, and create compelling digital stories that portrayed libraries as transformative.
The contest ended in June. Over 250 school and public libraries from across New Jersey participated in the “Tell Us Your Story” campaign.
Placing second was West Deptford Public Library; third place winners were Cranbury Public Library, Ocean County Library and South Orange Public Library.
Villas – Don't kid yourself. Those "Nobel" prize people are as political as you can get. Wise up!
