<\/strong>Summer Reading ended August 31, 2020<\/strong>
<\/strong>This summer we used the Beanstack Tracker app for iOS or Android.  We learned a lot about what works best for a mostly online program, and have a number of items we would change for a future online Summer Reading program.  Hopefully next year we can have a hybrid online\/paper program.  Here are the numbers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upon completion, all participants received a $5 off library fine voucher. Kids and teens also got to select a book to keep for completing the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The adults had several components in order to complete the entire challenge. They had to read for 20 hours, write 8 book reviews, and do 9 activities.  For the reading log completion: 4 at Hoodland, 11 at Sandy.  For the book reviews: 4 at Hoodland, 9 at Sandy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
