[Michlib-l] Summer Reading Participants

Good morning, Library friends, we are in the beginning stages of booking performers and preparing for Summer Reading 2026. We are working to revamp our summer reading and I would love some feedback. What do you do for prizes? Do you have community prizes? Is participation decreasing, the same, or increasing? What are some ideas for summer reading program that have worked for your library? I've found that since Covid, our participation has decreased even after opening up the age group to all ages. Thank you all for your input! Tina Markowski (she/her) Director Alpena County George N.
