Summer book check out?

[Sandra M Barron <sbarron@TENET.EDU>]

Our high school is investigating a summer reading program i.e. a list of
books students "should" read over the summer to prepare for the next
grade. If you have such a program, please forward the any information.
Questions:  How do you check out and keep track of the books?
For the whole summer? or for a period of time? is the school library open
during the summer? is the librarian paid extra? are the students
"required" to read the books? are they tested upon return to school? are
students encouraged to buy the books? is the reading list for one subject
(ex. English) or across the curriculum?  ANY info would be helpful.
Thanks.
