Take the "3000m bookBot Relay" quiz and win an iPod shuffle!

Our books are on the move! We have begun the process of loading 1.5 million books into the bookBot robotic retrieval system in the new James B. Hunt Jr. Library. To celebrate this momentous occasion (and - let's be honest - pretend we're competing at the Olympic Games in London), we enlisted a few NC State all stars to help us kick off the book move. Now it's your turn to carry the torch! If you can successfully name the NC State champions that carried the book in our 3000m bookBot Relay,  you will be entered in a drawing for an iPod shuffle. Click below to watch the video on our Facebook Page and take the quiz.

Rules

Contestants must successfully answer questions about the identities of the people in the bookBot Relay. Go to our Facebook Page to take the quiz and submit your entry. Entrants tied for the highest number of correct answers will be put in a drawing for an iPod shuffle (one winner).

The bookBot Relay Contest is designed for current students, faculty, staff, and alumni of North Carolina State University, but anyone is welcome to submit an entry. Staff of NCSU Libraries is not eligible for the prize drawing.

Entries will be accepted until the end of the Closing Ceremony of the Olympic Games, Sunday, August 12 (exact time TBD). Entries received after that time will not be eligible for prizes. One entry per person, please. For an answer to be correct, both the person's first and last name must be correct. Spelling does not count, but answers must be recognizable to the judges.

The winner will be announced and contacted the week of August 13. Check our Facebook Page for the all correct answers on August 13.
