It’s ‘Back to the Future’ for the Tulsa Library’s summer reading program. It’s a popular program, but changes implemented this summer met with dissatisfaction and plunging participation, a 51% drop. Kimberly Johnson, Chief Operating Officer with the Library, says a survey shows complaints in two areas that will be addressed for next year’s program. Patrons were concerned about the on-line only signup and the requirement you must have a library card to participate.
So next summer its back to the previous paper-based reading program, and while everyone is encouraged to get a library card, it won’t be required to participate.
