Summer Reading reporting
by Lancaster, Catherine (MDE) 03 Aug '16

03 Aug '16

3 cheers for all who worked on summer reading this year! Hip-Hip-Hooray!!! It has been fabulous to see all the photos on social media of participants, young and old, having fun at their libraries. For many your program is wrapping up or already has... Now please help us keep support for such programs strong by completing the annual SRP Statistic survey, it provides us with useful feedback: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/M9B9NZY Adult program, Teen & Children's stats are all covered in the 1 survey, but you do not need to complete all 3 age groups, just the one(s) you coordinate. If your program runs through August, do not fret, I'll be reminding all to complete the survey throughout the month, so you have time to wrap up programs. Thank you & Congrats on surviving summer!
