 Hello Directors!
As you may know, the State Library of Iowa selected iREAD to be our provider for the 2021 summer library program. iREAD is a flexible, nonprofit reading program designed by librarians featuring appealing incentives, compelling and adaptable themes, and a comprehensive resource guide chock full of ideas and reproducibles. The State Library provides each Iowa library with access to the resource guide to use in the development and implementation of programming and more.
This email contains the information for how your library can download your copy of the 2021 iREAD resource guide and graphics. Each library can download one copy of the material, but you are then welcome to share it internally however works best for your library: placing it on a shared drive, saving it to USB drives, or even printing it out if you'd like. If you forward this information to your youth services department, please ensure they are aware of this as well.
