Program accomplishments

  • THE 2024 SUMMER DISCOVERY PROGRAM FOCUSED ON ENCOURAGING LITERACY AND LEARNING DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS TO PREVENT THE "SUMMER SLIDE" OF SKILLS, PARTICULARLY READING, THAT CAN OCCUR IN SCHOOL AGE CHILDREN WHO AREN'T IN A FORMAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENT DURING THOSE MONTHS. PARTICIPANTS OF ALL AGES WERE CHALLENGED TO COMPLETE READING ACTIVITIES AND ENGAGE WITH THEIR COMMUNITY THROUGH LIBRARY AND COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES. LEARNING ACTIVITIES VARIED BY AGE LEVEL AND WERE CORRELATED TO OHIO DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION CONTENT STANDARDS. FOR EXAMPLE, ACTIVITIES LIKE HAVING A DANCE PARTY AND READING A BOOK ABOUT DANCING ENCOMPASSED THE STANDARDS FOR SOCIAL EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND LANGUAGE AND LITERACY DEVELOPMENT. A FREE BOOK AND OTHER INCENTIVES WERE AWARDED TO THOSE WHO EARNED DAILY POINTS FOR THEIR READING OR ACTIVITIES. ADDITIONALLY, PROGRAMS WERE SCHEDULED TO ENGAGE THE PUBLIC IN CONTINUED LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES AND COMMUNITY CONNECTION OPPORTUNITIES. PROGRAMS ARE SELECTED TO SUPPORT THE SUMMER DISCOVERY THEME AND MANY ARE PRESENTED BY SUBJECT AREA EXPERTS OR ENTERTAINERS FROM OUTSIDE OF OUR SYSTEM. WE HAD SEVERAL PROGRAMS THAT WERE AVAILABLE ALL SUMMER LONG TO HELP ENGAGE YOUTH, TEENS, AND ADULTS IN EXPLORING SCIENCE CONCEPTS, READING, AND SOCIAL CONNECTION. BASED ON FEEDBACK FROM STAFF AND PATRONS, A LARGE CENTRAL KICKOFF EVENT WAS HOSTED AT A LOCAL PARK FOLLOWED BY INDIVIDUAL EVENTS AT EACH BRANCH. THE 2024 SUMMER DISCOVERY PROGRAM FOCUSED ON HELPING READERS ACHIEVE THE COMPLETION GOAL. WE SAW AN 18% INCREASE IN TOTAL REGISTRATION AND WE SAW A 47% COMPLETION RATE AMONG THOSE THAT SIGNED UP.
