Here are my statistics for the Nancy Drew bookmarks and posters:

• 104 Libraries requested materials.
• 372 posters and
• 8,015 bookmarks were mailed out.

I’ve let the CSLP-CA Rep know just how enthusiastic everyone was to get the materials and promote the movie. And, that it’s not only young girls, but their mothers as well that are interested.

As of this writing, I am completely out of bookmarks. I do have a few posters left. I have asked for another box of bookmarks, and I will know soon if I am to receive anymore. [I just got off the phone with the CSLP-CA Rep and she is sending another 3 boxes of bookmarks and more posters. Request away! --Adrienne 11:13 am]
Thank you all so much for you exuberance. I’ve let the PTB (Powers That Be) know that we are most interested in any and all promotional items for upcoming movies.

Thanks Again!

Okay, here we go:

I have 10 Nancy Drew Get A Clue special screening movie passes. The passes are for Monday, June 11, 2007 at 7:30 p.m. at the AMC Quail Springs, 2501 West Memorial, OKC. These are compliments of FOXCW Oklahoma City and our CSLP-CA & NY representatives. Each single pass admits two people. Arrive early as seating is first come, first serve. The movie is rated PG.

Now, here’s what you have to do:

Go post in the forums. Either start a topic or reply to a previous post. The rule is to post something of substance. As the administrator I am able to see who posted and when to determine the winners. The first 10 people to post will receive one ticket. Once you win a ticket your library/branch will no longer be qualified to win again. You can still post in the forums, though. {hint, hint}

For those whose firewalls don’t allow posting on forums, you can e-mail your post to me. Have the forum name that you want it posted. The time on my e-mail will count as your post on the forums.

Those of you who ordered centennial t-shirts should have received them. If the order is missing a shirt or is the wrong design or size, call me, mail back the t-shirt and I can exchange them. If you have too many shirts, mail them back, please.

I apologize for the mix-ups.

I just delivered all ordered t-shirts to the post office. They are being sent first class priority mail. You should start receiving.

A few libraries will be short their children’s t-shirt orders as the company had to go back into printing. They will be ready next week and I will mail them out asap.

The shirts, look absolutely fabulous. I hope your staff and patrons enjoy them.

They are here at ODL. I am mailing them out asap. The company ran out on the children’s t-shirts and are going back to press. They will be sent out next week. I will send what I have.

Thank you for your patience.

My contact at the USA Screenprinting and Embroidery said the shirts have been pulled from the warehouse and are being boxed. She expects them to be ready after lunch today. I will drive over, pick them up and sort them. There are a few children’s orders that weren’t completely filled and they will be ready next week. I will get what I have out to everyone.

If you haven’t already, let me know if you want to swing by ODL to pick up your order.

I will post when the shirts are here.

The Nancy Drew promotional materials are from a connection between two Collaborative Summer Library Program representatives: California and New York. An e-mail was sent out asking state representatives if they wanted materials for their libraries. A CSLP-NY state rep facilitated this union between us and Warner Bros. The Nancy Drew movie ties in perfectly with the Collaborative’s theme of “Get a Clue”.

Even though we are celebrating our Centennial, I thought we should join in the promotion. I know Nancy Drew is still popular among young readers and fondly remembered by their parents.
The CSLP-CA said in her e-mail:

Warner Bros had to go into reprint for us! I also filled requests for Armed Forces libraries in Europe and Japan.
States requesting posters report they arrived, sent out already local member libraries. Librarians are delighted with the book/movie/theme connection!

You will find attachments and links to this post. These are (again from the CSLP-CA rep):

ATTACHED are some *Nancy Drew Mixer* Event Activity Sheets Simon & Schuster publishing sent to me to share with you all.
I had them go back to the artist to make it libraryland friendly.
The invite now says LIBRARY instead of BOOKSTORE. This is kind of cool because the version on their Web site says STORE. (all files are pdf)

Warner Bros NY mentioned to me that they had Emma Roberts in New York taping an assortment of greetings for different events and media.
While she was there they had her do one for the “Get a Clue” SRP and holding a Book.
Warner Bros was quite tickled with themselves

And you could have knocked me over with a feather when Warner Bros in LA hand delivered it on a CD/QUICKTIME that very same day to my office. Libraryland is WINDOWS so I have revamped the video file in a couple of formats.
Chose what works for you or chose not to. You may do whatever you want with the video files noted in #6.

This could be a fun surprise on the big screen for those of you having a party or as a trailer for your library movie nights or show on a TV monitor :->

I have requested they add, “check-out my library”

Enjoy!!!

I just received another box of bookmarks for the Nancy Drew movie. If you’ve already asked for some and would like more let me know. If you haven’t yet, I still have many posters as well.

The shirts have been ordered. There is a three-day turnaround, but I am hoping they will be ready Wednesday, May 23. I will be mailing them first class after I pick them up. The company is here in OKC. If you want to pick your order up here at ODL instead of waiting for the mail, let me know.

Thank you for your patience.

I was able to obtain 3,000 bookmarks and 300 posters for the Nancy Drew movie opening June 15th, 2007. If you want some for your library call or e-mail me. These are for the entire state, so ask only for what you need.
