Summer Reading tracking programs
Last week I got an email from Demco that they're discontinuing Wandoo Reader. Needless to say we're panicking a little. Maybe Demco thinks 5 months is enough time to find a replacement, but I beg to differ. What program do you use to track your Summer Reading? Does it have an app, or strictly web-based? How easy was it for your patrons to learn? Your staff? How expensive? Any word on whether the Library of Michigan will provide access to another program?

Hi Laura, et. Al., Attached is a copy of the message LM sent to all library directors on Monday, similar to the one I sent last week directly to Wandoo Reader users with emails on record under our contract. I will let folks know in these communication channels when we have more information, one way or the other, in the coming weeks.
