Hello everyone!

You may have heard about our Community Survey going around. If you haven't found it, I have the link below.
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/LNYF2FQ

We would greatly appreciate it if you completed one. It will help us in the future! Tell us how we are doing. How can we improve? What kind of program you would like to see?

Thanks so much for hosting the program this summer! I loved the weekly book suggestions and reading about what my fellow participants were reading. And the shirts are great! :)

Thank you so much for this summer reading program. I do enjoy the challenge to read more. I really like the shirt and enjoy showing it off.

You're welcome!

Also, heads up, we are getting low on our shirt supplies! It's first come, first serve time!

We are now in the Shirt War 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Thank you for a great summer! I really enjoyed all the cat pictures.

I finished 2 more before the end (Our Wives Under the Sea and Wild Milk) but came up short with 8 total I think. it was fun though, I'll try again next time. Thanks for organizing this! I hope to see one of those shirts walking the streets of Albany sometime.

You're welcome! You did amazing for reaching 8, Spencer! 😎😎
Hope to see you again next year

Great job everyone!! I've actually been compiling a spreadsheet of titles from here and from folks' trackers so that we can do a "here's what you read this summer!" display at Pine Hills (also I just have a thing for making book-related spreadsheets). The Adult titles are going up later this week, but the J and YA titles have a couple little showcases now!

Update: the Adult SRC display at Pine Hills is now up!!

Yay! How long is it staying up? PH isn't my usual branch but maybe I'll stop by :)

I think it'll be up for the rest of September? The display can only hold a small sample of the list I compiled (literally several hundred books!!) but it still looks good!
