Subject: Circulating CD-ROMs
Thanks to all who took the time to respond to my request for information. I've
had several requests for the results, so I thought I'd just post them for anyone
interested.
Circulation - Some libraries started with small collections, so the number of
items and the length of time was limited initially. As collections grew,
circulation policy became the same as that for other items. Collections are very
popular especially with parents.
Format - Universal software is becoming more readily available. However, many
items must still be purchased in both IBM and Mac formats to satisfy patron
demands.
Technical Services
1. Consistent and clear labeling of all items is essential.
2. Media bags or pouches work well to keep items (instruction booklets, etc.)
with CD-ROMs.
3. Boldly identifying format and system requirements helps patrons to check out
the items that are appropriate for them.

I used to work in a public library in New Brunswick. The town's
population was about 4500 and we would get around 550 children sign up.
To promote the programme we would send out letters to the local schools,
try to get a message on the radio, post flyers around town, have an
announcement in the paper (local media outlets were very good about this).
Also, we would visit each elementary school and either make a short 5
minute presentation in each classroom or a longer presentation to the
school as a whole.
2 or 3 university students were hired for the summer to do most of the
planning and promoting, signing the children up, and planning special
storytimes and programmes. I believe that it was their interest and
enthusiasm that contributed to making SRC at this library a success.

There are a lot of reasons that could be the case. I usually have
525 to 550 participants out of a city population of 5445. I do get some
county participants which bumps up my service area to around 12,000 (using
our school district limits as a guide.) I think it's still a fairly healthy
percentage. Some of the things that help us draw in good numbers are (in my
opinion):
There are only a couple other municipal libraries in the area with summer
reading programs--competition is low.
The teachers actively encourage their kids to participate in summer reading.
I personally visit every k - 8 classroom in the district (5 schools) just
before the last week of school to pitch the summer reading programs.
Exhausting, but is by far our most effective method of raising SRC awareness.
Good advertising of all programs in the library connected to summer reading.
We use newspapers, newsletters, flyers, posters, and radio announcements
every week.
Easy program with the ability to be flexible about receiving the kids'
reading records. If they arrange with me, they can turn in once instead of
every week, fax in their reading times, call them in by phone, email them, etc.
Two different levels of summer reading to appeal to the broadest possible
range of ages. Pre-readers and readers up to about grade 4 are in the
traditional program. Grades 5 - 9 are in the much more independent YA program.
Other factors to consider:
How is the parking and/or bus scheduling around your building?
What is the neighborhood around the library like?
How much of your immediate area is residential?
What kind of clientele is your library's biggest customer? Businessmen?
Kids? Seniors?
How involved is the staff outside of children's services in summer reading?
How many other summer programs happen in the area? Summer school? Day
camp? Parks department programs?
What percentage of your residents have their children in daycare during the
day? Evening programs might be better, or even outreach programming.
What local service clubs actively support summer reading? Friends of the
library? Kiwanis? Soroptimist? Eagles?
There's no one easy answer. We are still close to the only game in
town here. More kids are going to BEST Self during the day--kind of a day
camp / summer class program at the local schools--which has been affecting
our numbers. More kids also have two working parents. So we have been
scaling back our in-library programming, offering more events in the
evening, and beefing up the independent reading part of our program. If it
isn't fun AND convenient for both parents and kids, they won't participate.
Hope your summer reading can get a boost, and remember that sheer
numbers aren't the best measure of success. Look at all the numbers--what
percentage of participants complete the program, what percentage of your
local population are children in the target age range, all your circ
stats-not just juvenile circ, etc. Good luck!

I still think the biggest factor in our summer reading participation
is visiting classes just before school lets out. Catchy themes,
pri\zes, and cool graphics are great, but there's nothing like
getting the chance to spend 10 or 15 minutes telling a class about
the programs, passing out bookmarks, and doing a short story as a
"sneak preview." I visit our four primary schools and hit 20-25
classes in a day. Exhausting, but I think it pays off.

Subject: RE: SRC
RE: numbers of participants and getting more involved
Marge Loch-Wouters touched on many of the same things I believe contribute
to the success of our program. Our community is about 30,000 and we have
1,800-2,000 children participate in the program. One of the things we have
done which I believe has helped create a good relationship with schools,
teachers, parents, kids and the library is the fact that we "report"
all
those who complete at least half or all of the program to the schools when
they resume in the fall. We ask the schools to do something to acknowledge
the fact that the kids made reading an important part of their summer
activities. This can be done by the teacher with a special note if the
number in her class is small or a listing in the school newsletter if the
numbers are larger. Some have done bulletin boards, read the names during
the morning announcements. etc. The kids love the recognition and parents
get a bit of pressure when there child's name doesn't appear. It took us
awhile to get the lists routed at the school so everyone got the
information, but I think they look for it now. We have had about 50%
finishing rate for the past three years. We sent letters to over 50 schools
last year! (Bettendorf has 8 public schools and two private schools in their
service area.)
Which leads me to my next thought. We allow students from any area to
participate (we have reciprocal borrowing and many other shared services
with the libraries in the Quad City area) and we don't care if they are
signed up for three other programs elsewhere. We realize that some "library
shop" for the best prize, but oh, well. We also don't care if the books are
checked out from this library. Our need for big circulation numbers went by
the wayside years ago and quite honestly, we don't have a collection that
would support the number of participants and the books they read. This
attitude and freedom I believe contributes to the fact that we want kids to
read - whatever - wherever.
We are struggling with the issues that have been recently discussed
regarding regarding minutes, contracts or number of books read. We tried
minutes one year and it just flopped. I would love to try contracts, but I
want the kids to set realistic goals and many of them come to sign up
without parent supervision. (We do sign up entire classes when they come for
a tour at the end of the year. For some it is the ease of not having the
parents have to bring them to the library to get started and others I'm sure
toss everything in the trash!) Marge mentioned changing things regularly and
we do try that as well. Some things which we get requests for like book
discussion groups and storytimes will be continued automatically, but we do
try and vary the craft programs, performers, or other special events based
on whatever the theme is.
I know that we haven't solved all of the problems, but we continue to grow
by about 100 participants each year. Additionally, because students have had
a good experience in the children's program they continue to participate in
the YA program which has grown to over 250 participants. We also advertised
the children's, YA and adult programs in one brochure that we sent out
through the schools and it seemed to get the message out to people who
didn't realize we had a YA and Adult program because those numbers increased
last year also. Besides the fact that it helps promote everyone spending
time reading during the summer - not just kids.
These are just a few things we have tried that seem to work for us. Good
luck with your program.

Subject: SRC Registration
I was wondering too how you get such high enrollment. Our figures have
been going down. We keep track of each school and how many students from
each school participate. I find, very unscientifically, that the schools
who place emphasis on reading and have good school libraries are at the
top. It has been the same two schools year after year at top and the same
schools year after year at the bottom - now matter whether we visit
classes or not. We can get the kids all excited about summer reading and
prizes but they don't drive themselves...parents and teachers and schools
have to place a value on reading. (speaking of prizes, so many kids
EXPECT rewards...and are disappointed when we don't have passes to Great
America or Pizza hut pizzas, etc. etc. Of course, I just bite my tongue -
I never participated in a summer reading program in my life - in the good
old days you read JUST TO READ! And I walked miles and miles to the
library, etc. etc. :)
I also think it has a lot to do with economics and culture. We have
many two parent working families, sometimes in multiple jobs - kids in day
care - parents too tired to come out at night? Also, we have a large Hispanic
population that is
still unfamiliar with library services, especially when it comes to fun
reading. Homework, yes. Read for fun? No! (This does cross cultures.)
I also notice there are kids who use the library only during the school
year and never in the summer and vice versa. I don't know what this means
but it's interesting to me.
I am sure there are a lot of variables in attracting patrons. It's nice
to know that we aren't the only one with such a problem.

Just a thought...why not invite the "book branders" to
"register" their
brand at the information desk? That way you could sort of control the
size and tastefulness of the brand and people would become aware of
other's branding habits. Maybe even learn which brands are "their kind of
books". This might make people more aware of the prevalence of brands,
and more careful about what and how much they brand. It might also get a
whole counter-culture going. Design a little guideline sheet to
distribute to your regulars whom you suspect of branding. Get those
branders out of the closet. You could have a lot of fun with this while
getting the whole community actively involved and --gasp!--talking about

Subject: Halloween
Hi all -
I appreciate the problems non-Christians have with Christian holidays, and
if your library or you personally decide not to celebrate Halloween, I
won't argue. But. Halloween may be All Hallows Eve, and as such nominally
Christian, but the rituals we use to celebrate it are rooted in its pagan
origins. Halloween is Samhain, one of the four great Celtic festivals, and
on Samhain the gates between this world and the world of the Sidhe were
opened and traffic was possible both to and from that world. Great
bonfires were built, and people stayed close to the fires (if they knew
what was good for them), and strangers who approached the fires (usually?
often? sometimes? carrying a lantern made of a human skull - the pumpkin is
a substitute), were given more than the usual Celtic hospitality (treats)
in case they were members of the Sidhe (and therefore capable of quite
nasty tricks). It seems to me that Halloween-as-we-know-it is NOT
Christian. (Maybe people should object to it because it is so very pagan.)
So what do you-all do about Valentine's Day?
