Unpopular opinion of my profession: libraries can fully cancel summer reading this year. You really can! I promise you!

Programs online? Great! But if you move SR online & 900 families are still coming in for prizes 4 times each, you're actually gonna be part of the PROBLEM.🤷‍♀️
This profession suffers from a dire case of "always have to be "helping"". It doesn't help anyone to do SR this year.

Bet your staff will be more stressed than ever, especially if you're moving to online SR for the first time.
Do online programs, let patrons know that summer reading next summer will be amazing, and call it a day.

Keeping up social distancing matters! And it matters a lot more than giving people the chance to win some earbuds and a gift card!
I'm gonna go ahead and tag this thread #LibraryLife and #LibrarianProblems just bc I'm so frustrated with all of us!

IT IS OK NOT TO OFFER EVERYTHING YOU WOULD IF WE WEREN'T IN A PANDEMIC.

BECAUSE WE WILL STILL BE MANAGING A PANDEMIC IN THE SUMMER.
