Now that New Hampshire belongs to the Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP), libraries around the state have resources to help them run an adult summer reading program. This year’s manual for “Between the Covers” offers programming and promotional ideas as well as practical advice on how to conduct such a program.
In a Google search, I found a few NH libraries offering a “Between the Covers” adult summer reading program. Check out these sites for some good ideas:
Epsom Public Library encourages its adult participants to submit reviews, and the library offers three evening programs. The Lizzie Borden program should keep folks awake!
The Hooksett Public Library uses a bingo card and asks patrons to use Novelist in order to complete one of the bingo squares. What a great marketing idea for the free databases for library card holders!
Hollis Social Library is rewarding the adult who reads the most books during the program with an e-reader.
Nashua Public Library promises some interesting nighttime programs such as Haunted Hikes and a Sherlock Holmes movie.
Weeks Library in Greenland runs its adult program from Memorial Day through Labor Day and offers a raffle ticket toward a grand prize for every five books read.
If I missed your library’s “Between the Covers” program, please let me know. Enjoy your summer reading programs and stay cool!
