We're pleased to show off our 2022 completion certificates, which can be automatically generated for your patrons!  We have six styles to choose from, and you can choose multiple styles so that you can award different types of certificates to different programs.  This year we also have a black-and-white-only template for libraries that aren't using color printers!  Our 2022 hosting partner libraries can also use their own certificate templates.

We're very pleased to announce that our partnership with iREAD continues, and we'd like to thank them for allowing us to provide these iREAD "Read Beyond The Beaten Path" badges for the 2022 Summer Reading season!  These badges will be available for use by any iREAD-eligible library using BookPoints.

This year, there are the usual four age-based sets of badges: Pre-Reader, Kids/Elementary, Teen, Adult/All-Ages -- plus a cool new fifth set exploring different genres of books!  Check them all out!

The Bermuda National Library has selected and implemented The Galecia Group's "BookPoints" summer reading application software for the 2021 summer reading season.  The Bermuda National Library is the public library service for the territory's 63,000 residents, and the summer reading program, "Tails & Tales," will be aimed at the approximately 10,000 youth who live on the islands.

With many libraries across the US either closed or operating with limited capacity, we've had a lot of inquiries about turning BookPoints into a platform for Fall Reading Programs!  So this year, for the first year ever, we'll be providing hosted BookPoints services for libraries year-round!  

It's time for our annual 2020 "Most Popular Books!" list, a completely unscientific survey of books entered into BookPoints websites across the United States!  These are some of the most popular books entered in multiple library systems:

2020 is the biggest year ever for the BookPoints community!  Dozens of libraries are using BookPoints this summer to safely and cost-effectively deliver summer reading programs to thousands of patrons across the United States.  (And Canada!  A hearty "welcome" to our new libraries up north!  :-) 

We made a simple map so you can check out summer reading programs in your area and across the country.  Is your library using BookPoints but isn't on the map?  Let us know!
