9. In judging the effectiveness of the Statewide Reading Club effort overall, would you say that having a statewide program (check all that apply):

   Increased children's awareness of and participation in your reading club program
   Increased parents' awareness of and encouragement of participation in reading
   Decreased staff time and effort in preparing for and presenting a reading program
   Left room for librarian's creativity in promoting and presenting the reading program
   Stifled a creative approach to the reading club by too much prepackaging

10. In judging the effectiveness of the statewide theme, did you find (check one):

   It worked only with younger children
   It worked only with older children
   It generally worked well all around
   Super theme! Fantastically successful!
