More Tips Use online registration A great opportunity to capture information Ask for and turn that list in to a way to -market your events. The next year you can use that list to remind everyone to sign up. Adults do not expect there to be an SRP for them. Make their day! Morgan Pershing, Santa Clara City Library Heather Cousin, Thousand Oaks Library Services

More Tips Incentivize: Offer a prize drawing for finishers. Something fabulous. Have your patrons indicate the favorite book they read on their reading logs, and make a display of those favorites at the end of the summer. Very popular!
