Reports and Updates

Web Services findings

  1. Goal 3/Pay-it-forward: creating a yes/no option in Summer Reader seems most convenient for tracking purposes.
  2. Simplebooth for Celebration Station photos: easier & more cost effective, better for staff time

Drawing gifts will be awarded throughout the summer, for multiple reasons, including attending a program. Can we track program attendance in Summer Reading for awarding those drawing gifts?

  1. Erin talked to NW staff about options & methods
  2. Self-marking might lead to fraud
