This was, of course, before the internet revolution – and postings of the type seen on the Louisville Library website didn’t even exist (did the term “website” even exist in 1975?). However, each year when I received my certificate of completion, I was proud of my accomplishment. This is with no public / photo recognition at all. I can’t imagine how exciting it would have been to go home, log-on to the Public Library website – and see my face on the front page! I would have wanted to sign up for next year’s program the next day (even though I would have had to wait 9 months before it began again). I think the PLCMC should be doing this NOW! And imagine how fun it would be to provide on-site recognition as incentives for kids.
