>Mary Jo,
I believe that the best incentive for children
participating in summer library programs is to receive a
free book. Scholastic offer specials on paperpacks.
Good luck!

Hiya, Janis,
Our children's room des not have this option, but I do in the Young Adult
department. To be honest, the only people who really use it are the
homeschooling group that I do some programming for. I let peolpe register
in
person, by phone (including through my voice mail), and by email. It is no
big deal. I just make sure to check my email regularly. We have an
account
for each department at the library. Mine is gvl yas@aol.com.
That said, I don't have to worry about. size limits to most of my programs.
They are popular, but tend to fall within the expected numbers, while the
Children's Room ends up with a waiting list for a number of the programs
they
run. You would probably want to pay attention to time the email was sent
if
you do registration as first-come, first serve.
I do think this is something that will increase in usage over time.,
though.|

Mary-jo,
We raffle off a variety of prizes throughout our summer reading program such
as Mall gift certificates, sports equipment (basketballs, baseballs & bats,
soccer balls), craft kits, dolls, movie gift certificates and pizza gift
certificates. Sometimes we get donations or discounts from local merchants
towards these prizes. The rest comes out of our programming budget.

Oh Great Collective Brain:
Our patron is looking for a series of books she read as a child in
the early 70s about a little girl who sucked her thumb and was
teased by her classmates. She also played with a dollhouse and
the dollhouse became reality for her. I've searched our catalog
extensively with no luck. Does this ring any bells?

Our City Council donates money so that we can purchase
canvas tote bags with our summer reading logo on them.
The kids then use them during the year to carry home
their library books.
