[OPLINLIST] 2015 Summer Reading Program Evaluation preview

[jdwyer at library.ohio.gov]

This notice is being cross-posted to Library Youth Services, SmLibs, and OPLINlist.  Thank you.

The State Library asks all Ohio public libraries to report on their summer reading programs at program's end.  The information you will provide is of great value.  Your participation in the 2016 SRP Evaluation will help the State Library, Regional Library Systems, cooperating state agencies, and the Collaborative Summer Library Program to provide the most useful resources and support for future SRPs.  It also lets us tell the story of library SRPs statewide and how they positively impact children, teens, families, adults, and communities.

The survey instrument will be available from mid-June through early October.  A link will be posted to OPLINlist, the Library Youth Services list, and the Small Libraries list, and will appear on the Ohio SRP page of the State Library website (http://library.ohio.gov/ohio-summer-reading-program).  Please help achieve 100% participation for 2016.

Here is a summary of the questions on the survey.  Review these questions, and track your SRP activities accordingly if possible.  The survey should take you just 3-5 minutes if you have your numbers ready at hand (longer if you have extensive feedback to share).

2016 Summer Reading Program Evaluation Preview:

*        Library contact information

*        Did your library offer a summer reading program in 2016 for children? Teens? Adults?

*        How many children/teens/adults participated in your SRP?

*        How many children/teens/adults completed your SRP (if you define/track completion)?

*        What was the total attendance at your children's, teen, adult, and all-ages library programs held during SRP?

*        Did you use the 2016 CSLP theme(s)?  If not, what theme(s) did you use?

*        If you distributed the Ohio State Fair coupon, Ohio State Parks certificate, and/or Ohio Renaissance Festival coupon as an incentive, how many of each did you distribute?

*        Please rate various statewide/CSLP services and products, including the CSLP manual, State Fair and State Parks incentives, etc.

*        Additional feedback, comments, suggestions

We will also be collecting anecdotes and photos from libraries, to share statewide to demonstrate the positive impact of public library summer reading programs.  Photos may be used in the annual Ohio SRP video summary (https://youtu.be/OPSIPoPNmcg).  Photos and stories may be used in presentations, print, and/or online publications that communicate the importance of libraries for summer enrichment and literacy support.  I encourage you to share your photos and stories with the State Library so we can show off your summer activities and their benefits.

Hope you have a wonderful SRP!

Sincerely,
Janet
