Five links on our Teen Page have have been cornified. That means that instead of the link working properly, unicorns and rainbows will randomly appear on the page. They look much like

these:

Your goal is to search through EVERY link on the Library's Teen Page and find the 5 cornified links. Then, post a comment on the Cornification blog entry on the Teen Page with your name, e-mail or MySpace address, and the 5 links where you found the cornification. We will have a random drawing from among all the correct answers on August 14th. The winner will receive a $50 Best Buy Gift Card, courtesy of the Friends of the Library. Don't share the answers with others, or you reduce your chances of winning!

Good luck and happy unicorn searching!
