This year Atoka County Library will continue using Reader Zone for our SRP participants to track their reading minutes. Please contact your local library to learn about this system and ask for your library’s code. Paper reading logs will still be made available.
The SRP is supported in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services through the Library Services and Technology Act, administered by the Oklahoma Department of Libraries.
