We are getting down to the wire now
As of the publication date of the DeForest Times Tribune, (Friday, July 21), there are only two weeks—count them, two—left in the Summer Reading Program.
Summer Reading Program Update
As of this writing we have 492 active readers (although 661 of you registered). For those of you who have yet to record any books, or those of you who wait and enter titles in batches (as do I), there are still 14 days left for you to enter the titles of all the books you have been reading this summer. You can still earn badges and log events. As of this writing, 220 events have been logged; 6,055 badges have been earned and 2,055 activities have been completed. The most impressive number, is of course, the number of books read. As of this writing, 17,827 books have been read and 148 of you went the one step further and wrote book reviews. Good job everyone! As we head into the last two weeks of the Summer Reading Program, remember to read, record, and review what you have been reading.
