It works for retailers, so why not try it in the library?Noeline, the librarian at Opunake High School, has been using a library loyalty card to encourage her students to read more. It looks like a ''coffee card'', with 10 squares big enough to be stamped, and the school logo at the top. Students read a book, give an oral book talk to Noeline, and she stamps the card. When they have ten stamps, they get a reward.
Noeline says that library issues have been rising steadily since introducing the card, and students are now recommending cool books to each other. Way to go, Opunake High School!

Thanks for blogging this FABULOUS idea!!! I am logging off to go and make some now!
Hi Noeline here from Opunake High.
I supply a book review sheet that has a title, Author, Main character, a tell us about this book and what was your fav part. this makes it easy on the Students and lib Staff.
Thanks for the further ideas Noeline. I introduced the cards at Monday assembly to our school of 130 kids. Made 100 cards and offered for the seniors (about 70 kids) ... ran out already so that is pretty exciting that they actually wanted a card. I have one child almost ready for their first 'stamp' on their card.
LOVE these loyalty cards!
