[LM_NET] Accelerated Reader info

[Brent Bradley <bsb_lib@YAHOO.COM>]

Hi all:

My district is looking for ways to extend reading skills over the summer. We have 
some money in grant form and I'm looking to set something up to last more than just 
this summer. Can you tell me how AR works and your experiences with it? Could I set 
it up with a list of titles and then add a few a year? I'm looking for something to 
keep kids engaged and coming to the school library over the summer. We might be 
able to keep oour doors open with the grant money and volunteers, and also use the 
money to purchase some AR stuff? I really have no idea how it works and am hoping 
you will take pity on me and fill me in.

thanks
B
