History of the Summer Reading Program
I like to have contests. Occasionally I'll give away a copy of my work, other times it might be goofy stuff.
As a kid I loved the summer reading programs at my library. I can win prizes for reading books? I'm there! As an adult, I wished there were something similar, so I decided to run my own with a little twist.
Since 2007 I've run a Virtual Summer Reading Contest. Each year I set up a challenge for which I will donate money to a library or literacy charity. Sometimes it is based on number of books read, sometimes the number of people who participate.
In 2009, I came across the CLiF website and have made CLiF the beneficiary charity ever since. The donations for each year are below, along with a link to the blog post in which I announced the total.
* 2011 - $112 donated to CLiF
* 2010 - $80 donated to CLiF
* 2009 - $23 donated to CLiF
* 2008 - $100 donated to Building New Hope
* 2007 - $52 dontated to Kiowa County Libray Relief Fund
