Summer reading program massachusetts

You may order any materials from the catalog of the chosen vendor for the statewide summer program. Anything over your voucher amount will need to be paid by your library. What kind of statistics do you need at the end of the summer? If you are the designated summer contact for your library you will be emailed a link to an online statistics and feedback form near the end of summer. On this form you will provide your summer program statistics and provide contact information so you can receive a voucher to order materials for the following summer.

What if I am at a branch library? You will need to bundle your stats and order with the main branch. We also ask for one summer library program contact person who will be responsible for disseminating summer information and materials amongst all branches.

Is there a credit line we need to use on our publicity materials recognizing the Massachusetts Library System and other organizations? Yes, you can find it here: Resources. Do I have to credit the Bruins? Yes, you do have to credit our statewide sponsor, the Boston Bruins. The Bruins pay for promotional materials, provide prizes awarded statewide, offer incentives and programs for participating libraries, and promote the statewide summer library program.

Without their support, MLS would not be able to provide program basics at no cost to libraries. If we just use the slogan, but none of graphics, do we still need to add the credit line? See what libraries the Bruins have supported through visits and prizes. Find online resources relating to the fiftieth anniversary of the moon landing here.
