Summer Reading Programs

I'm over at my other blog today talking about my failures this summer in terms of programming. I wish I knew how to change it, because it's really depressing.

But, in order to stay positive, I'm asking about your Summer Reading Program success stories. What worked really well for you this year in terms of programming?

Summer Reading

I'm over at my blog today talking about Summer Reading.

That article with the Evil Librarian has been shared in the news so much, that I thought I would talk about how it worked at the library I work at. It's different - reading for prizes. I never did that as a kid. I read and filled out paperwork and had an ice cream sundae at the end of summer. And that was it. It was enough.

I don't mind handing out prizes because I think reading is important.  I know from experience that no prizes or not cool enough prizes doesn't entice teens in my library to read (or record) books.

What are your thoughts?
