[Michlib-l] Summer Reading... without Books?

[Justine Peterson]

Hi all,

Summer has been a little rocky for my little library, and during some
renovations, we ran into some unexpected issues and we've been closed for
nearly a month. My SRP was supposed to start Monday, but at this point, the
timeline of us actually getting back into the library is a little fuzzy.

We're a Class I library, but a big resource for computers, printing, faxing
in our area -- not to mention we're one of the only organizations that has
anything to do in our town.

Our books are in boxes in storage, kind of inaccessible to me, so going out
and rummaging through boxes to find items patrons may want is not possible.
Usually our rule is only books from our library count towards
summer reading, but I'm willing to throw that rule out the window this
year.

We don't usually use Beanstalk for our SRP, our patrons prefer paper logs,
but I think I'd be interested in setting something up for our program
because it would be something. Otherwise I've thought of having outside
storytime once a week, printing off some of our materials for outdoor
scavenger hunts, take home crafts, etc.

If anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear them! As it stands, I have
program ideas suited only for kids, and I'm not sure how to serve teens and
adults better. At this rate, I'd even put my printer on a table with wheels
and sit outside for a couple hours during the week!

Thank you in advance!
