The NH Summer Reading Program Committee will meet in early January to plan a program at the CHILIS Spring Conference on Thursday, March 7, 2013. We would like to offer relevant, practical information that you can use to help improve your summer reading programs. This is a challenging goal!
On the one hand, we have veteran librarians for whom running a summer reading program is “old hat,” but who are looking for new ideas. We also recognize those who are hoping for guidance on how to do some of the basics: registration, tracking time vs. books read, programs that work, etc. And then there are those members who are asking more philosophical questions: what is the goal of summer reading programs; how do SRPs fit into the library’s mission; how can we make SRP relevant to our communities; and how do we effectively evaluate our SRPs ?
What would you like to see the NH SRP Committee address? Is there a speaker you can recommend that may offer a fresh perspective? Please send me your ideas by replying to this blog or by emailing me at the State Library. I appreciate any and all input!
