Spring at the library A personal view

February: OMG, summer is coming and we need to do so much to be ready for the summer reading program! The performer staff are all about their storytimes and clubs, and I produce the paper things. Get moving!

The extra credit sheet and the finishers slip need to be made, pretty much the same every year. New graphics. We collect a few basics about the kids to develop an idea of what we are doing right or wrong. The following information is optional. We use it to improve our

service to the community, and to notify local schools of

student participation.
