Creating and Managing Reading Programs

Reading programs encourage students and teachers to read more. You can create and manage them from the admin sidebar.

Creating a Reading Program

1. Click Reading Programs in the admin sidebar.
2. Click Create Program.
3. Fill in the details:
   • Title (required)
   • Description (optional)
   • Start Date and End Date — end date must be on or after the start date
   • Target Books — the reading goal (1–500 books)
   • Grade Levels — select which grade levels this program targets
   • Status — set to Active to make it visible to patrons, or Draft to save without publishing
4. Click Save.

Managing Programs

Programs are organized into three tabs:

• Active — Currently running programs visible to patrons
• Drafts — Programs not yet published
• Completed — Programs that have ended

Each program card shows the number of enrolled patrons.

Tips

• Change status from Draft to Active when you are ready for students to enroll.
• Move programs to Completed when they end so patrons know the challenge is over.
• Target books of 10–20 is a good goal for a one-semester program.
