Note for Parents
The Connect Your Summer 2013 program, while emphasizing reading, leaves control for which badges to earn (and for what reason) in the hands of the user. As Canton Public Library does not act in loco parentis, the ultimate responsibility for ensuring that children read appropriately to earn their badges rests with the parent.
Tech Information
Connect Your Summer was made possible by open source software: Drupal, User Badges [fork], CCK, Views, and Rules.
We appreciate all feedback, on Connect Your Summer or otherwise, so contact us with suggestions for how to improve the program for next year!
