This webinar will explore the READsquared Reading Program Software to track summer reading achievements or offer online reading programs throughout the year.

Many Arizona libraries are participating in an exciting new way to track summer reading. Offering an online option may appeal to reluctant readers or new library users to involve them in library programs and lifelong learning. This approach gives participants a chance to engage with online literacy activities and rewards, such as educational games, and badges, all while continuing to become better readers.

This software is made available to all libraries outside of Maricopa County and is a year round reading program solution that enhances the library experience with family accounts, activity logging, badges, suggested reading, events, missions, educational activities, book reviews, book trends, raffles, and more!

READsquared allows your library to manage reading program statistics, custom tailor the patron experience with targeted features, functions, and content by age, and promote community support thru collaboration with schools, museums, and program sponsors.  Built-in assessments and unparalleled reporting provide insights into your community’s unique character.  Multiple digital and physical prizes allow you to engage and reward patrons of all ages and increase participation.
