We started in June and finished in August. We have had seed spitting, finger printing, music and crafts a parade and of course a treasure hunt. Programs for the adults and even one for teens only. What a busy summer. Again this year the kids could track their progress by watching the library ceiling. As they read books their face mobile would get more on it. Face for 5 books, eyes for 10 books and so on. Up to 50 books. After 50 they would go to the bulletin board. Teens were tracked by footprints on the wall. The adults were shown on a bulletin board to show every place they read to.
