If you want to keep the blog going during the school year, read this post

I noticed a couple posts ago that some of you were asking about the possibility of keeping the blog running throughout the year. I'm starting a new programme that you may be interested in - The Teen Readers Advisory Panel (yes, that's TRAP for short...). Basically, the TRAP will be a group of volunteers that will provided me with their reviews of teen CDs, DVDs and of course books, which I will use for reading lists, displays in the library and on the new Teen Webpage that we're developing. A blog would be used by the TRAP volunteers to record their reviews, and of course members would have to register to join. So far, these are the details:
- ages 12-18 are welcome to join
- each member must provide at least one review a month
- volunteers can earn community service hours (I'll probably devise a point system whereby each review will be worth X volunteer hours, etc)
- reviews should be 100 words MAX

If anyone is interested in being a part of this, please email me at acecch@markham.library.on.ca.
Thanks, Andrea.

Hi Andrea! I'm definately interested in TRAP. It sounds like a really fun way to get community service hours, and i totally enjoyed the summer blog program, so this is great. Please write more about TRAP on the site, or email me.

Sorry for commenting here instead of emailing you, but i couldn't get my message to send.

Jen,

We will add your name to the list for trap.

Andrea is away until next week so we will get this organized then.

We will not forget our summer bloggers.

Thanks as always for your support.

Catherine
