Big E Ticket Thank you!

To All Public Library Big E Ticket Recipients:

Now that your children’s summer reading programs are winding down and the Big E tickets have been awarded to some very lucky readers, please take a moment to thank the Eastern States Exposition for their very positive contribution to your summer reading program award prizes. Thank you notes or letters should be addressed to:

Eastern States Exposition

ATTN: Carol Pederzani

1305 Memorial Avenue

W. Springfield, MA 01089

I asked our lucky winner here in Adams if he would send a thank you note directly to the Big E and he was thrilled to do so. He has 3 siblings so his parents were absolutely delighted that two will be getting into to the Big E for free when they all go! Perhaps your winners would also be willing to do the same?

PLEASE NOTE: to Library Directors or Children’s Librarians –

Please submit a press release to your local news media about your successful summer reading program that includes mention of the donation of two valuable FREE tickets from the Eastern States Exposition / The Big E in West Springfield in your release. This is the ONLY request that The Big E has made in providing the free tickets. The Eastern States Exposition is a strong supporter of reading enrichment for all of our young patrons in Western Massachusetts and sincerely hopes that the Big E tickets provided with encouragement in their summer reading.

Thank you for your time!

Yours in public service,

Deborah G. Bruneau, President of the Western Massachusetts Library Advocates, and

Director of the Adams Free Library
