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 accepting member libraries (Colorado only) for 2010.

Development of new features & improvements for 2010 is mostly complete. For more detailed information, see the Project Status and Wishlist for next version pages.

If your library is interested in using ReadingRecord in 2010, Read more about signing up.

The following announcement was sent to the ReadingRecord Google Group:

Availability outside Colorado:

First off, a quick update on availability for libraries outside Colorado. Unfortunately I am still awaiting final approval. The matter will have to go before City Council and that won't happen in time for Summer reading this year. I know many libraries outside Colorado have been waiting patiently, I hope you can wait a bit longer.

Availability inside Colorado:

Library management has approved the hosting of ReadingRecord for libraries of all sizes in Colorado for 2011! I have updated the setup form & customization spreadsheet for 2011. If you have already started using the 2010 forms, you may continue to do so. There were only a couple of minor changes for 2011. If you have already submitted your forms, I will get your site setup soon.

Changes & improvements for 2011:

2010 was a difficult year for me personally. While I'm anticipating a better 2011, very little development has been done on ReadingRecord, so the feature set is in effect frozen for 2011. I will likely make some minor changes & improvements in order to dust off my hacking skills, but essentially RR will remain unchanged for 2011.

The RR Wiki:

I have freshened up the Wiki a bit, including adding this announcement.

Thanks for you continued support and interest in ReadingRecord!
