The inner-workings of the library can be something of a mystery. Especially if you don’t have a chance to visit us that often. You might not know, for example, what goes into creating a library display (hint–there’s a little more to it than throwing random titles onto a shelf or table).
You could win a giant gummy bear just for checking titles out of the library! Make the most out of summer reading by participating in our teen Summer Reading Scratch Ticket Challenge.
If you’re in 7th to 12th grade, every day when you check out any title from a Brookline library, you’ll get an instant-win scratch ticket. There is no need to sign up: if you win a prize, you win instantly! If you don’t win, fill out your information on the back of the ticket and you will be automatically entered in our grand prize drawing.
You may win small prizes such as candy and J.P. Licks coupons, or larger prizes including $25 gift cards to Amazon, GameStop, or X-Box Live. If you win a gift card, you’ll be able to choose which kind of card you want. Our grand prize for our raffle will be a $50 gift card.
The prize board will be updated as items are won — check back to see what is won over the summer, and what you still may have a chance to win!

You can pick up a ticket from the Teen Room desk at the Main Library or from the Children’s Room Circulation Desk.
You can still get tickets and just might win! To get a scratch ticket even if you’re out of town, please visit this form and submit a short review for a title you’ve read, watched, or played this summer. Must be at least fifty words to qualify for a ticket. Once we’ve received your review, we’ll pull the next scratch ticket from the pile and let you know if you’re a winner. We’ll keep any prizes won safe until each winner can come in and pick them up from your designated home library.
To participate in our teen challenge, you must be entering 7th through 12th grades.
