Golden Ticket: Hide in Seldom-Read Library or Classroom Books FUN!

Reward the students that "think outside the book" and choose something different.
This freebie is a Word document so that you can modify the tickets to your own library or classroom. Please leave my copyright info intact if you

Library Aide / Helper Application
There is always so much to do in Library Land, and never enough time to accomplish it all.

Win-win! This product is a "job application" for those students interested in helping out in the library. There is also the congratulatory note that the students receive if chosen.
