Passport Style SRP logs
by Kaitlin Matesich 12 Dec '23

12 Dec '23

Hello marvelous minds of Libraryland! As many of us youth librarians are scheming and planning for the coming summer reading (June isn't that far away, right?), I am considering revamping our paper logs and reward coupons from community partners into something that is more like a passport style booklet. In the past we have had a brochure style handout but a passport that can be used to track reading AND redeem prizes could be extremely helpful for both sponsors and my staff. Does anyone do anything similar? Or a different physical log that works well at your library? I would love to know your ideas and if possible see what your logs look like. Thanks for your time! -- *Kaitlin Matesich* *Youth Services Coordinator* *Benzie Shores District Library* *630 Main St. Frankfort, MI* My Pronouns: She/Her - See www.mypronouns.org to learn more*.*
