Honestly... They are a library, they should be reinforcing proper grammar and writing skills, not how to talk like a teenie bopper on AOL.

Yikes!

I like how all the prizes are nothing to do with reading and education too...

I guess they assume that kids won't be interested if the prizes are books. :)

They probably figure that kids who would want book-related prizes don't need to be lured into the library with gadgets and gibberish. I hope if they get them reading that they will absorb proper grammar from the books, which presumably don't contain the same nonsense as the webpage.

It did make me wince to see that on a library page though.
