[Michlib-l] Summer Reading Count

[Dillon Geshel]

Hi Sharon,

We are moving to 'minutes read' model from 'books read' this year for E and
J readers. I'd love to hear what other libraries are doing and why, if you
wouldn't mind sharing the compiled responses!

Our thinking is that the length of books for E and J readers can vary so
much, that 'minutes read' is a better indication of just how much time they
have spent with books, rather than 'books read'.
