Date: August 1, 2007 <br /> To: Helene B. DeFoe <br /> From.: Janet Burke <br /> Re.- Monthly Report i <br /> The month of July has seen a lot of activity in the Children' Room as 274 children have <br /> registered to participate in the Statewide Summer Library Adventure,,"'Catch the Beat at <br /> Your Library"". Children commit to read 20 minutes per day for at least 5 days a week <br /> and record their time on a reading log. when children bring their reading log into the .. <br /> library, they receive a small prize for their reading effort and for visiting the library. <br /> This summer the Mashpee Public Library is participating in the Statewide' online <br /> Summer ReadingProgram. I have set up three progmms online; one for Kids, one for <br /> Teens and one for Adults, The advantage of the online program is that I am able to offer <br /> summer reading program for teems and adults, something Haat has not been available in <br /> the past. Also, children who are not able to visit the library can still participate in the <br /> online program from home. We have 50 children registered online, 21 teens and 9 adults. <br /> Participants log their reading time(children)or number of books(teens and adults)and <br /> are able to post reviews to share with other participants. I think this online program is <br /> wonderful offering for our patrons, and has the potential for greater participation i <br />
