A New Beginning

September 04, 2012

This past fall a committee met to discuss how we could improve our Teen Summer Reading Program. It was decided that we would ask our teens to write reviews for the books that they read. In return for each review that they submitted, they would receive one "Library Buck." which could be used for not only books, but earbuds, flash drives, a messenger bag, or to pay fines. We sweetened the deal by having a drawing for five laptops. The winners of the teen program drawings for these were done by computer. 

The staff at North Oak Branch was thrilled when we received the call and learned that one of our teens had won one.  We would like to Congratulate Naomi. We are so happy for you! In total this past summer, the 3,775 Teens who participated read a total of 1,786,176 minutes!  Way to go!
