The mayor claimed kids read over 2.7 million books this summer as part of the library summer reading program. Let's take a critical look at how that might have been done.

- FOIA request of the library for any data / copies of submitted reports. Update: 9/26/14: I received an e-mail response from CPL denying my FOIA request due to it being unduly burdensome. Copy of letter [|here].

- talking with local librarians 9/26/14: spoke with a librarian at a local branch. she indicated that they did keep track of submitted forms in some type of spreadsheet. she also said kids could participate online too. said copies of reading logs were kept but not sure for how long.
