[Michlib-l] Summer Reading Question

[Allison Boyer]

my library counts minutes and our thought is minutes because every child
reads at a different rate.  Books, Comic books, magazine, audiobooks and
reading aloud to another all count towards their goal.  We let the parent
and child determine what is a fair goal.  And their choices have always
been fair.
