I am trying something new this year bc reading logs are on a steady
decline. I got the idea from storytime underground on FB. I created Little
creatures a dragon and Unicorn that I am going to have available and
printed for kids to come and write their name and the book title on then I
will place on the wall as decorations in the library.  I am really hoping
this will take the "work" out of tracking reading. My attendance and
circulations is up but can't get them to track. I should also mention that
when they fill out their creature they also get an entry into a big drawing
at the end of the summer. I am hoping this works out this year if not, I'm
interested to see what works for other libraries.
