Summer Reading Count
by Sharon Crotser-Toy 22 Apr '19

22 Apr '19

Greetings, friends! We are considering a change from the library's decades-long practice of reaching summer reading goals by tallying the numbers of books read. We may switch to amount of time spent reading, currently the only other option I can think of. I'd love to hear how other libraries handle that piece of summer reading, if you have a half a moment to share. Thanks so much for your time! I know it's in short supply. -Sharon -- Sharon Crotser-Toy Director *Watervliet District Library* 333 N.
