"Plant a Seed, Read" has ended, but what a great summer it was! 685 readers logged over 800,000 minutes and more than 13,800 books between June 1 and July 18!
We’d love to hear your thoughts on this summer’s program. Please take 5 minutes and complete our survey, even if you or your family didn’t participate this year. Your input helps us evaluate this year’s program and plan even better ones for next summer.

Take the survey at https://bit.ly/IPDPL-Summer-2026
Deadline: Saturday, August 22, 2026

A few notes before you start:
• Please answer from the perspective of one reader — either yourself or one child. If more than one person in your household participated, we’d love to hear from each reader individually! There’s an option at the end of the survey to submit another response.
• The survey is voluntary and can be completed anonymously — contact information is optional and only used for follow-up if you choose to share it.

Thank you for helping us make next year’s program even better!
