<span>Hi Rebecca,<br /><br />We are a very small library, but our numbers increased from 30 participants last year to 40 in 2020. We used our contact info from last year's signups and asked parents if their children wanted to participate this year; staff also remembered a few new patrons with young children and called them. At curbside, participants picked up the Imagine Your Story cloth bags with a reading log, library logo pencil, bookmark and the latest newsletter for parents tucked inside. <br /><br />Susan Riegler, Director<br />Alden District Library<br />231/331-4318<br /><br /><br /><br />From: Michlib-l <</span><a href="mailto:michlib-l-bounces@mcls.org">michlib-l-bounces@mcls.org</a><span>> On Behalf Of Rebecca Higgerson via Michlib-l</span><br /><span>Sent: Wednesday, July 8, 2020 10:15 AM</span><br /><span>To: </span><a href="mailto:michlib-l@mcls.org">michlib-l@mcls.org</a><br /><span>Subject: [Michlib-l] Virtual Summer Reading numbers</span><br /><br /><span> </span><br /><br /><span>CAUTION: This is an External email.
