Well, I must say, hearing all of this doesn't make me feel GREAT, obviously we'd like more participation, but I certainly feel better about the numbers I'm seeing. I'm currently planning on keeping registration and prizes open through August, at the least, maybe into early September, to give people more time to participate and join up. With slow, limited openings (and none at all yet for us), I think giving people more time just makes sense. We've already got all the supplies, after all, doesn't cost us anything to extend the program. Summer doesn't technically end until late in September anyway!

We are down about 52% in registrations compared to this time in the summer last year. But our finishers are up a little compared to this time last year. 
Be encouraged. Promoting reading is so important for kids and teens. 2021 will be better :)

Hi everyone, 

We have a shockingly low number of people who have signed up for our Summer Reading program (we are down 85%) and I’m wondering if others are finding the same results. If your numbers are strong, to what do you contribute your success? 



Thanks in advance!!
