Why not share those ideas with your colleagues from other states?

Have you conducted a summer reading showcase for your library, library system, or statewide? Share those ideas and showcases with iREAD and we will feature them in a future newsletter. Photos, creative flyers, or other promotional ideas are also welcome! Please submit those as well with a short description.
