We had an adult summer reading program in the last few years but last year, participation dropped considerably so chose not to have the program this year. We had a few people ask about the program but not many.</div>

Each week we had a drawing for a different item. Participants were given a ticket for each book they read that week. We had a variety of items from baskets, glass vases and bowls, and gift cards to local restaurants and coffee shops. Our community has a large
number of retirees and their comments when asked if they wanted tickets for the drawing was that they had enough “stuff”. </div>

I think adult reading programs are important but rethink on the incentives given. </div>

<span style="font-size: 11pt;">Question:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">Do you include adults in your Summer Reading Program?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">If so, do you provide weekly incentives? Do you include them in grand prize drawings?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">Just curious as I respond to an “equity” complaint.</span></p>
