Reading Program

Submitted by kbauman on Mon, 09/23/2013 - 09:34

As reported only a few weeks ago, our 2014 summer reading program will be online and we have purchased the software we will use, Evanced Solutions’ Summer Reader.

Our next steps involve making decisions about the structure of the reading program. We need to decide which things need to change in order to meet our goals (see August 20, 2013 announcement).

The Incentives to Read (ITR) committee will work on the structure of the program. Present at the September 11 ITR meeting were: Karen Marriott (MSO), Kay Bauman (LO), Emily Williams (OUT), Kristin Williamson (OUT), Julie Ballou (LO & PIE), LaVetta Dent (LO & PIE), Jana Hausburg (LO & PIE).

PIE Committee December 2013 Update

Submitted by kbauman on Mon, 12/16/2013 - 13:45

For the past few months the PIE group has been developing a tool to be used in the programming process. There are many considerations and steps in the programming process and we have worked to identify them and put them into a flowchart. After creating our first draft, we sought feedback from a few people who currently oversee programming at the libraries of the various PIE members; Heidi (DVS) regarding the process for requesting a volunteer if needed; and Outreach.
