The Sponsor's decisions will be final in all matters relating to the Sweepstakes and winner eligibility. Use of any automated system to participate is prohibited and will result in disqualification.

The prize winner is responsible for any and all insurance, federal, state, and local taxes on the prize or the prize winner's income and any other unspecified expenses associated with acceptance or use of prize.

There will be a total of one (1) prize winner, selected randomly from all valid entries. The winner will be selected, notified, and announced within two weeks of the end of the Promotion Period. The winner will be notified via a direct message from the Sponsor's Twitter account (@bibliotarian), or by email from the bibliotarian.org domain, or by postal mail from the Sponsor's location.
