The Colorado State Library, Library Research Service recently published a new edition of Fast Facts:
No. 263 Colorado Summer Reading Programs by Robbie Bravman Marks available online at:

Some interesting numbers:
- 1.5 million participants registered for summer reading programs in Colorado public libraries in the years 1998 through 2007.
- In the last ten years, Colorado libraries experienced a 77% increase in summer reading registrants.
- More than 8 in 10 Colorado public libraries used the 2007 Collaborative Summer Library them and resources provided by the Colorado State Library.
Hats off to all the librarians in Colorado who encourage children to read and have fun at their libraries during the summer.
