Summer Reading Program: Programming, Ideas, Etc.

StoryWalks

StoryWalks® for the Win-Win-Win: Programming, Partnerships, and Pandemic-Friendly!

This webinar, presented in November 2021 by Lorie Brown (STLS) and Mary Fellows (UHLS) shares some of the many ways that StoryWalks® can be implemented in your community.

Read and Bead

One method for incentivizing reading is using a "Read and Bead" program, where participants earn beads or "brag tags" to add to a necklace, keychain, etc.  Implementation of this type of program is shared on the "Little Bit Librarian" blog, complete with FAQs and an hour-long webinar.
