A few years back, we had an Outreach staff member that went to local businesses and got prize donations to implement an adult summer reading program. To enter, they just put their checkout receipt into a drawing box. There were separate drawing boxes for each
basket. At the end of the summer, names were drawn and winners contacted. The adults LOVED it. There was good engagement. She did this for two years. When she left, our adult services librarian opted not to continue the program, and we had some really unhappy
patrons. We did not do weekly incentives. </div>
