<h1><b>Don’t Cancel, Go Online!<o:p></o:p></b></h1>
<p><span style="font-size:14.0pt">Many libraries have taken storytime and other programs online. Now it's time to expand that to Summer Reading! Virtual programs are valuable during social isolation. You may even reach readers who have never set foot in one
of your buildings. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14.0pt"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14.0pt">If you do your program live, be sure to post the video to whatever social media platform you are using. You're likely to get more on-demand views of your program.

<h1><b>Keep It Simple<o:p></o:p></b></h1>
<p><span style="font-size:14.0pt">Try a very easy set of requirements -- participants read for a certain amount of time or a certain number of pages and get a prize. No complicated levels, no hoops to jump through. Make your program more inclusive and drop
the library card requirement. The easier it is, the more participation you are likely to get.
