Vote for your favorite video and comic!

The voting for the best comic and YouTube video has begun here in New Jersey. Spread the word, anyone can vote. All you have to do is go to njlibraries.org and click on the YouTube Video icon, read the comics, view the videos and cast your vote. Not only do you get to vote, you’ll also see the results immediately. Voting ends December 31. So keep going back to the site to see who’s in the lead! Help us get the word out, post this on your blogs, facebook and MySpace pages; tell your customers, families and friends. The kids worked hard on their projects, it would be great if lots of people got to see their work. Please contact me at ndowd@njstatelib.org or 609-278-2640 x 122.
