<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Cambria","serif"">Here at Ledding Library, teens fill out a reading log - they have to<br>
read 30 minutes a day for 20 days. Once they complete the log, they get<br>
to pick out a free paperback book (we get ours from the Scholastic<br>
warehouse sale) and get a few coupons/free passes for local businesses.<br>
They also get entered in our grand prize drawing for $25 gift cards to<br>
the closest mall (we give out 10 grand prizes). Along the way, they can<br>
fill out book review slips for books they finish and we have weekly<br>
prize drawings for $5 gift certificates to local businesses (we usually<br>
draw about 5 names each week).<br>

entries in, no limit to the number of entries they could earn. At the End of the Summer Party, the entries were drawn for the grand Prizes. The names left over went into the secondary prize drawing so everyone who put in an entry got some kind of prize.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Cambria","serif"">Our Teen Summer Reading Club works this way - they sign up (a statistical/informational gathering step) and get a book. The tracking part of their 'game' is a punch card with
8 potential punches. Each punch = 1 hr of reading. They also have the option of doing other things for their 'punch' (ie. read to someone else, attend a library program, read a library magazine, watch a dvd checked out from the library, volunteer, etc.) They
are limited to one of each of these items per punch card. They can read the entire 8 hrs for each punch card if they so choose. They turn in completed cards (all honor system), and can turn in as many cards as they can complete. Each completed punch card (which
has their name/phone/email on it) is an entry into the raffle drawing and also the grand prize drawing. The more cards they complete the better their chances of winning.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Cambria","serif"">In past years I have done all the raffle prize drawings during the last week of the program, followed by the grand prize drawing after the end of the program. I've also done
it where I've drawn a couple cards a week for each week for the raffle prize drawings. It's mostly a function of my time as to how I do the raffle prizes (I am the Youth Services Dept. and I've got a whole lot going on in the summer - ie. this summer, during
our 6 week program I put on 32 programs for just over 2000 participants).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Cambria","serif"">As for prizes, I provide the book they get at sign-up and I usually buy 3-4 of the theme t-shirts, 3-4 of the Upstart Teen incentive items like the coffee/beverage cup/containers,
and I use donated items like coupons from Dutch Bros., Big Town Hero, Subway, and other local food places, Bi-Mart gift cards, etc. for the raffle prizes. I purchase the Grand Prize, which has been a Flip video camera (or Flip-like, depending on prices). The
most I've spent on a grand prize is a little over $100. I got a 4-hr Flip HD video camera from Amazon.com for $75 (& free shipping) this year!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Cambria","serif"">At North Bend, kids and teens earn increasingly nicer prize bags as they
<br>
accumulate hours of reading time. <br>
<br>
The YA program is separate from the kids, and the prizes are different. <br>
The teens often don't care about the prize bags -- what they like are the <br>
extra entries to the YA Grand Prize Drawing, where the prizes are all cash.<br>
Only 43 teens picked up reading records, but there were bagfuls of entries<br>
in the grand prize drawing.<br>
<br>
The YA reading record has a square to fill in for each hour of reading time. <br>
At 4, 10, 16, and 24 hours there's a prize bag that includes some small <br>
prizes from the summer reading cooperative catalog, plus an ever-increasing <br>
number of entries to the grand prize drawing. (Teens can also enter the grand <br>
prize drawing once each day, no reading required.)<br>
<br>
This year the prize bags were as follows:<br>
<b>4 hours</b>: a baggie with 2 You are Here bookmarks, 2 YAH tattoos, and 4 entry forms<br>
<b>10 hours</b>: baggie with the YAH pencil and sticky pad, an earth eraser, and 6 entry forms<br>
<b>16 hours</b>: baggie with a YAH magnetic bookmark, compass clip, 2 fast food erasers,
<br>
and 8 entry forms<br>
<b>24 hours</b>: YAH drawstring bookbag with tennis shoe key chain, YAH lanyard, 2 YAH
<br>
buttons, a coupon for a Papa Murphy mini pizza, a coupon for a paperback book from
<br>
a local used book store, a ticket to the library swim, and 10 entry forms. (The bookstore
<br>
belongs to my husband. Hardly anyone redeems the coupon, year after year.)<br>
<br>
The grand prize drawing had one $50 cash prize, one $30, one $20, and three consolation
<br>
prizes of the YAH water bottle and a coupon for a paperback book.<br>
<br>
I've been doing this for over 20 years, but it took me a long time to find out that our teens
<br>
like cash better than anything else. Next year we're having more cash prizes, and fewer
<br>
prizes in the incentive bags.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Cambria","serif"">At Stayton we had raffles every two weeks. So each book they read was a raffle ticket (a slip they filled out with the book information and prize number
they wanted). We stored all our prizes in a display case each had a number. The prizes got better as the weeks went on. I've attached a list of the prizes for all three raffles that we did. We did not have them be present, but called them after the drawing.
Most kids came in right away to pick them up.</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Cambria","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Cambria","serif"">10 days – Little Caesar’s Crazy Bread coupon, a paperback book of their choice, a cookie coupon from the Wine Depot, and a college scholarship entry form.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

day to pick up prizes was September 4.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Cambria","serif"">Books came from donations to our Friends of the Library store. Coupons were donated, except for Starbucks and I-Tunes, which we purchased with FOL funds.
Gyroscopes and science kits were purchased wholesale from Tedco Toys, and cost less than $5.00 each. Bowling coupons were donated by the bowling alley, but we had to pay for each kid who swam at the Cool! Pool (city-owned outdoor aquatic park).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Cambria","serif"">We had 393 young adults register for the program, and 165 of them picked up a prize for reading 25 days. This is the first year that our Children’s and
Young Adults’ Summer Reading Programs counted days of reading instead of hours. When we counted hours, some kids finished the program and picked up their last prize by the end of June. When we counted days, the program lasted all summer, encouraging the kids
to keep reading and to keep visiting the library.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
