National Library Week trivia page

Welcome to the 2010 UST Library Week Trivia Contest 


The fine print:

One trivia question will appear daily this week on this page.  E-mail one answer per day to the librarian listed with the question - you have until 9pm that evening to send your response (4:30pm on Friday).  The names of all UST students, faculty and staff (excluding UST library staff) who answer correctly will be entered in a prize drawing.  One lucky winner will be selected daily and notified of their prize by the library office.  Good luck and thanks for playing National Library Week Trivia!

 

Sadly another year has come and gone.  I greatly appreciate everyone who plays along, it makes this week (and Banned Books Week) some of the highligts of my year.  I hope to 'see' everyone in September when it is time to play more trivia!
