Regan,
I had 28 kids from the Gouverneur Library participate.
All the parents and four classroom teachers who attended said it was a great program and they were pleased to see the students reading, especially the boys.
Looking forward to next year as well.

>The Dauphin County Library System (Harrisburg, PA) includes one branch library that serves a dual role of public library and middle school/high school library.
>With increased security in schools, the school district is now looking at ways to provide some separation between the library facility and the school. With the exception of renovations to physically separate the two entities (currently connected by a corridor), we do not see a viable option to accomplish the goal. If the school provided an internal entrance for students from the school, this would still not prevent a member of the public from slipping through that door when it is swung open for a student.
