Subject: READsquared Trainings March 31st & April 19th

 

The Library of Michigan is providing public libraries across Michigan READsquared for tracking their online reading programs through this coming year. The opportunity to submit a site request is now open, with the option to register for two live trainings scheduled for 10am on March 31st or 2pm on April 19th. 

 

Please do not sign-up for a site without approval from, or being designated by, your library director. Branches need to sign up under their district, however branches can individualize various programs within the platform.

 

Libraries that currently have a READsquared site will renew at no charge with subscription dates of 3/1/22-2/28/23.

If your library has signed up for READsquared 1/1/2022 or later and have:

1.    Paid: READsquared will provide a full refund.  

2.    Not Paid: Whether you have received and invoice from READsquared or not, do NOT pay

 

READsquared is provided in part thanks to the support of the Institute of Museum and Library Services.

Please let me know if you have any further questions about the process. READsquared will answer platform/set-up questions on the live trainings.
