Welcome to ReadingRecord

ReadingRecord is a web-based application for libraries to track Summer Reading Program participants. It is a free, hosted service, meaning that no additional equipment is required to use ReadingRecord. Although aimed primarily at reading programs for Children and Young Adults, it can be used for Adult programs as well.

If you are looking for an application that can schedule meeting rooms, register patrons for storytime, send overdue notices, inventory the stacks, improve staff morale and make thousands of julienne fries , then ReadingRecord isn't for you. If you'd like a better way to track Summer reading particpation, then read on in the FAQ.

ReadingRecord is currently on hiatus following the 2008 season. Work on changes & improvements to the code will begin mid-January 2009.

For more detailed information, see the Project Status page.

Many thanks to those libraries that volunteered to be pilot group members for 2008. If your library is interested in using ReadingRecord in 2009, Read more about signing up.

The list of changes & improvements for the 2009 version has been finalized. The Project Status and Wishlist for next version pages have been updated. Work has already begun on some of the changes & improvements!

A Google Group has been created to replace the Mailman-hosted list used for 2008. Everyone who was on the Mailman-hosted list has been moved to the Google Group. New members who are interested in using RR in 2009 have also been added to the group.

The list of changes & improvements for the 2009 version is being “finalized”. Once finished, the Wiki will be updated & a messages posted to the group.
