Encouraging kids to read, Not!

Heehee, guys.

Our library has a standard summer reading program, and it does not count number of books read, it counts number of minutes read. The advantages to a system like this are pretty apparent.

As a kid I cheated my summer reading club by reading short books and listing books that I'd read last year. Guilt to my grave.

As for the lazy librarian, you're right in thinking you need to go above her head and get help from administrators. Librarians always have problems allowing something "disruptive" into their schedule, no matter how sensible. It's so nice a quiet when there's nobody in the library...
