a <br /> Date: August 1, Zoo <br /> To: Helene B. DeFoe <br /> From: Janet Burke <br /> Re:. Monthly deport <br /> The month of July has seen a lot of activity in the Children's Room as 261 children have <br /> registered to participate in the Statewide Summer Library Program "Wild Reads at Your <br /> Library''. Children commit to read 20.minutes per day for at least 5 days a week and <br /> record their-time on a reading log. When children bring thew reading log into the library, <br /> they-receive a small prize for their reading e 'ort and for visiting the library. This <br /> summer we are-givmg out more weekly prizes than ever before. In previous years, I <br /> planned.for a mmmum of 72 children to collect their weekly prze. This summer, it is <br /> close-to 100 children per week collecting their prizes. I am guessing that our location, <br /> next to a grocery store, is having an impact on the convenience of collecting weekly <br /> do <br /> pr], es, <br /> For the second summer, the lahpee Public-Library is participating in the Statewide <br /> Online Summer Reading'Program. I have set up three programsonline: ons for Kids,' <br /> one for Teens and one for Adults. Students who are not able to visit the library can still <br /> participate ire the online program from home. Another advantage of the online prograrn is <br /> that I am able to offer a summer reading program for teens and adults, something that <br /> VMS'available for the first time last summer, We have 52 children registered online, 2 <br /> teens and 3 adults.- Participants log their reading time(children)or number of books <br /> (teens and adults)and are able to post previews to share with other participants. Children <br /> who are registered onne can come into the library and log.on to the site in order to <br /> collect heir weekly reading prize. I have been using the XO Laptop, especially on busy <br /> Saturday mornings;.four owe summer reading participants.. <br /> As part of the Summer Reading Program, I have offered weekly Trivia Contest: The <br /> winner each week receives a`wild Reads at.Your Library"T-shirt. we have had the <br /> following participation for the Trivia Contest: <br /> Jul Contest Entries 32 <br /> th <br /> July 1� Contest-.Entries 2 <br /> July Isp Contest Entries 30 <br /> July 2e Contest Entries 40 <br /> Rosemary Modic, our Early Childhood Specialist from the Upper Cape Family Network, <br /> has been providing a s miner-session of Toddle Time.
