Summary

This webinar is designed to teach participants how to administer Project Outcome surveys to measure outcomes for their library’s summer reading program.

Participants will hear from one Project Outcome participant who successfully surveyed their summer reading program in 2015 and learned valuable lessons from the process. There will also be a Q&A and discussion segment where participants will have the opportunity to ask questions and share ideas with their peers.

  • Understand how to successfully measure summer reading programs using the Project Outcome Summer Reading survey;
  • Know how to apply best practices for summer reading surveying; and
  • Be able to use the results to influence changes to future summer programming.
