OBOC Book Giveaway

Thank you for your interest in this year's One Book, One Community 2021 Book Giveaway. OBOC supports reading, celebrates books and writing, promotes Canadian writers, and builds a sense of community through the shared experience of reading. OBOC encourages people in Waterloo Region to read the same book, discuss it, attend an (online) event, and "meet" the author. The book and author are announced annually in April and the author does an online Q&A in late September.

Terms and Conditions

Contest is open to all Waterloo Region Residents and library cardholders of Idea Exchange, Kitchener Public Library, Region of Waterloo Library or Waterloo Public Library. Library employees and those living in the same household are not eligible to enter. 

Only one entry per person. Each complete and eligible response automatically qualifies as an entry to the contest. 

Random drawing will be held on or thereabouts of April 21st, 2021. Odds of winning are dependent on total number of entrants.

Winners will be contacted via email and must be able to pick up their prize from a local branch of the Idea Exchange, Kitchener Public Library, Region of Waterloo Library or Waterloo Public Library. Winners must correctly answer a skill-testing question.

The information collected is in accordance with the Public Libraries Act and I understand it will be used for the purpose of winning a copy of the 2021 OBOC book.

I verify that the information I am about to provide is accurate and true.
