GLS Summer Reading 2024
Summer Reading Survey
Summer Reading in Georgia is supported in part by federal funds from the Institute of Museum and Library Services. In order to continue receiving this vital funding for Summer Reading, we are asking 2024 Summer Reading participants to complete a short anonymous survey about the Summer Reading Program experience.
Thank you for your valuable feedback!
