[Michlib-l] Summer Reading Count

[Lancaster, Cathy (MDE)]

You can access the 2018 SRP Report Card through the LM website: https://www.michigan.gov/documents/libraryofmichigan/2018Infographic_644002_7.pdf, where it shows 34.6% of reporting libraries in MI gaged summer reading for children using “minutes read.” That’s up from the 22.01% average of using minutes read in the 2014-2017 tracking period.

Hope this helps,

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'.

Greetings, friends!

We are considering a change from the library's decades-long practice of reaching summer reading goals by tallying the numbers of books read. We may switch to amount of time spent reading, currently the only other option I can think of. I'd love to hear how other libraries handle that piece of summer reading, if you have a half a moment to share.

Thanks so much for your time! I know it's in short supply.
-Sharon
