Laurie C. Brooks, Associate Deputy Director of State Programs, The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), has asked the New York State Library to share information about an important summer reading survey.
IMLS is conducting a survey aimed at identifying the different types of summer reading programs available in public libraries across the country. The survey is being managed by PLA and promises to provide a wealth of new information about the characteristics of summer reading programs, the type of evaluative information that is gathered, and the resources needed to improve program efficacy.
Information about the effort along with a link to the survey instrument can be found at: http://summerreading.pla.org/
The New York State library encourages all public libraries to fill out this valuable survey.
New York State, as part of “Summer Reading at New York Libraries,” is very pleased to be participating in this competition and hopes that all libraries and library systems will encourage teens in their communities to create an entry.
NYS Entry Form and a small poster (8 1/2″ X 11″) can be printed out for distribution and posting in all libraries.
Teens are directed to submit entry forms to their local library by March 5, 2012.
All information and entry forms for the New York State 2012 competition will be available shortly on the “Summer Reading at New York Libraries” website.
