I mean, ours is honor system too, but IIRC, you have to report the date, the time, and the name of the book on each date...oy. So ours would be, you know:
6/13: Harry POtter and the Goblet of Fire (3rd rereading of the series in a row--yes, DD is over her "I hate HP" thing): 8:15-8:37, 1:15-1:45, 3:15-3:45, 6:15-6:27, 7:25-9:15
I mean, kill me now.
You know, most summer reading programs at the local library is run by just a couple of people. I mentioned to the children's librarian that I felt that the grand prize of a video game system (going to one child via a drawing), kind of sent the wrong message. She listened, and I gather I wasn't the only parent who thought this was an issue, as the grand prizes have been more appropriate since.
If you were to describe what this system looks like in practice, they very well may listen. I suspect they're thinking about kids who need to be told to go do their reading, instead of kids who spontaneously pick up anything (and everything) to read.
