Medfield library’s summer reading program offers prizes, raffle and a free book for every child who finishes
Summary
Director Pam Gardner described the library’s summer reading program: paper trackers, hourly reading goals for kids and teens, small prizes and raffle entries for grand prize baskets; every child who finishes receives a book to keep.
The Medfield library’s summer reading program uses paper trackers and hourly goals so children and teens can log reading time and earn small prizes and raffle tickets for grand prizes, Pamela Gardner said. "Kids have a paper tracker that they can use to track their reading throughout the summer, and then they can come in and get prizes," Gardner said.
Gardner detailed that children are tracked by the hour (roughly an hour) and teens by about an hour and 15 minutes per reward threshold; small items like sunglasses are distributed and each finisher receives a book to keep. She also said the children’s librarian coordinated with the elementary schools this year to route students to the library’s staffed summer program and to help combat summer learning slide.
