[Publib] Adult Summer Reading Program--Staff Eligible?

[Rawles-Heiser, Carolyn]

I cannot believe the staff would whine they aren't eligible for library
prizes.  What other organization allows its employees to win contests it
promotes???  They already get great access to the books themselves....

Subject: [Publib] Adult Summer Reading Program--Staff Eligible?

Hi,

This will be the second summer we are having a 5-week Summer Reading
Program for Adults.  Basically, there will be incentives (free DVD
checkout coupon), weekly prize drawings ($5 gift cards as prizes), and
grand prize drawings at the end of the five weeks (prizes would be ipod
shuffle, portable dvd player).

Last year, interested library staff members could participate in the
program and they were eligible for the free DVD checkout coupon
incentives and the weekly prize drawings, but were excluded from the
grand prize drawings.  But of course, many of the staff felt it was very
unfair that just because they were employed at the library, they would
be excluded from the drawings.

What are the guidelines for staff participation in your adult summer
reading programs?  Are your staff eligible or not at all?  I'm
interested in hearing from you.

Shannon
