I just had to share this idea. Today is one of several teen Cookie Review Days at our library. If you turn in a short book review (on a special cookie themed index card), we give you a big chocolate chip cookie. Yum.
Do you remember those commercials about "What would you do for a Klondike Bar?" Its a lot like that. Kids really turn-up for Cookie Review Day and brag about the books they read! We post them for a while on the bulletin board and then put them in photo albums so that kids can see what other kids liked. And yes, they get used!
Incentives (prizes) are things that librarians talk about. Are they good, are they bad? Which ones are good? I'm generally against food...because we're often a no-food place, because of diets and allergies. But this works. The teens read a book, think about it, visit the library and tell their friends. Nothing wrong with that!
