If you’re interested in doing something similar next year, their summer reading proclamation may serve as good template to get you started.

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi! I just learned about two things Oregon libraries are doing for summer reading this year that are new ideas to me. Perhaps they’re new to you too!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Baker County Library hosted “Parents are Heroes” in May to provide parents of young children a preview of the summer reading program, tips for reading and building early literacy skills with their children, a giveaway book, and a literacy
bag. What a great way to let parents know that young children can participate in the summer reading program too—and sneak in an early literacy education session!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Dalles Wasco County Library’s grand prize for their K-5 Summer Learning Club is a ride to the first day of school in… a fire truck! This may be a good strategy for getting more boys to participate in and finish the summer reading program,
and it’s a great relationship building activity for the library and the fire department.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is anyone else doing something they think may be unique this summer?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
