Whangarei Libraries summer reading programme

At a meeting in Whangarei, Sue Scott promoted the Whangarei Libraries summer reading programme - Great Summer Read Library Pride (with lions motif).

Students come to the library and with a librarian set up a "contract" with their own goals eg total number of books read, or number of hours, along with number of reviews or activity sheets...

One element was the "Wild Card" which was simply a card with a letter of the alphabet and students then had to choose a book from that section - limiting choice...

The students got prizes at the end of the programme if they met their goals. It would be easy to adapt this programme for schools...
