Summer Reading Program Updates

Sponsorship

By now, many of you may have received your summer reading program materials and will have noted a WM on the materials! It's not a typo! The Massachusetts Regional Library Systems were fortunate this year to receive a Sponsorship for these items from Waste Management! There will be a more formal announcement of this on the Summer Reading Blog and through our discussion lists shortly.

E-vanced ReadsinMa Online Reading Program

We have 32 hardy souls willing to try this online program this summer! Training is happening at NMRLS (May 15) and in several library locations around the region. There's still time to sign up! The deadline to participate for the summer is May 25. Please submit the information required at http://www.nmrls.org/surveys/evanced.htm.
