Play Booktastic!

Beginning now and through the end of June, patrons can earn immediate discounts on their in-store purchases by playing Booktastic!

It's a pretty simple concept. Answer a trivia question about modern best-selling fiction and we'll discount your purchases on all trade titles. These can't be combined with any other discounts, however.

There are three levels of discounts, but the higher discounts require you to take on a higher risk question.

Level 1 is the Casual Reader level. In playing the board game, answering one of these questions earns you $25 toward your book collection. In the store, you'll earn a 2.5% discount. Casual Reader questions are open-ended and have no wrong answers, so it's an automatic discount if you choose to play and answer.

Level 2 is the Avid Reader level. In the board game, a correct answer earns you $50 in play money. We're going to boost the in-store reward to 10% off if you answer a multiple-choice question. They're not that hard, but you do run the risk of missing and passing up the "freebie" discounts at Level 1.

Level 3 is a tougher test, called the Collector level. You really need to know your stuff to answer these, but the payoff is a full 20% off your purchase (it's $75 in the board game).

Let's have some fun as you choose your summer reading. Don't be afraid to take on some of the tougher questions. The payoff is immediate and we'll all learn a little something.

We'll ask you at checkout if you want to play Booktastic for a discount. Don't miss it.
