  6. Reading Entries • To participate you must register. The first 25 to register get a goodie bag. • Weekly Drawing – Fill out a slip with the title, author, & book rating. One chosen each week. Can only win once. • Reading certain types of books/materials on a wheel, usually 12 items on wheel. The first 10 to complete the wheel win a prize. The items completed on wheel can be entered into the weekly drawing.

  8. Reading Wheel from 2008

  9. Guess How Many A big success and easy to do. Gather various containers to put items in (we use candy). Person who guesses closest to the number of items in the container wins.

  10. Photo ID We did this with flowers, 8 each week, but you could uses pictures of various things (buildings, leaves, exotic animals…). I would also just do one list of 15-25 things/places for the entire program not separate items each week.

  11. Puzzles/Games Previously I have made up my own word searches, crosswords, & quizzes, etc. This will be the second year I’ve used the ones included with the SRP. I include them in the goodie bag. All completed activities are entered into a drawing with the winner chosen at the end of our SRP.

  12. Prizes • First year, anything and everything plus Marietta Bucks. • Now, Marietta Bucks only. What are Marietta Bucks? “Marietta Bucks is the Chamber's gift certificate program.  Initially started as a way to encourage local residents to shop local businesses, this program has greatly expanded and now many area employers give Marietta Bucks as employee rewards or incentives.  And, with nearly 80 area merchants redeeming Marietta Bucks, Marietta Bucks support the local economy. ”

  13. Special Programs • Crafty Activities • Tie-Dye on the Library Lawn (All Ages) • Paper Making • Hypertufa Pots • Murder in the Library: Live Murder Mystery Game • Various Speakers • Ohio State University Extension • An Evening with Gladys Tabor conducted by Ellen Ford • Diane Mechem Kinser
