I love my hometown library. They are small, just one location in a medium-sized Chicago suburb, but every time I get a newsletter it seems they are trying something new and cool.
For instance, their Teen Summer Reading program uses a ticket system to promote programs and services in addition to reading!
Teens who read for at least an hour every week earn a small prize and a ticket in a weekly drawing. But there are grand prizes at the end of the summer, too, and the more tickets you have in the pot, the better your chances of winning a prize!
Here's the other ways teens can earn tickets:
1 hour reading books, graphic novels, & magazines = 1 ticket
1 hour listening to audiobooks & playaways = 1 ticket
Teen program = 1 ticket
Write a book, movie, or game review = 1 ticket
Read-2-Gether VolunTEEN = 2 tickets
VolunTEEN (every 4 hrs) = 2 tickets
I love this system! What do you think? What other activities could be worth a ticket?

I like this!! Something new and fresh. It looks at though it would encourage participation in programs and it gives the teens something to look forward to at the end of summer reading. Maybe we could look into this for next year??!! Very cool, two thumbs up!
