Rules and Guidelines

So we gotta have them... A few simple guidelines to keep everyone safe, happy, and reading! I'm throwing in a book review overview so we are all on the same page... If you have any questions feel free to comment them here or you can always contact me, Whitney, at the library!

Please give special attention to numbers 3, 8, and 9!

1. Every month we will have 2 book posts that will include title, author, and summary. There may also be some thoughts and/or questions to guide your comments.
2. You may comment on one or both of these. Your comment can express if you read the book what you thought, if you would recommend it, and what you would like to read next. If you would NOT like to read the book feel free to comment why and what you would like to see on the blog next month.
3. Please keep these comments CLEAN, APPROPRIATE, KIND, and CONSTRUCTIVE. I will moderate each comment before it is posted so if you do not follow this guideline I will not publish your comment on the board.
4. Anyone (regardless of age) who has an opinion on the current books may comment on that book's post. Keep in mind that most books chosen will be from the 12 – 18 age range.
5. Any giveaways, special book club events, or summer reading related programs will be introduced and discussed in separate posts.
6. Towards the end of each month we will preview the books for next month in a special “month's end” post.
7. We will try to include books that will appeal to everyone's reading taste. If you feel that a certain book type is being neglected please feel free to suggest it.
8. Please carefully consider if you want to include any private information in your comments. Blogspot does give you the opportunity to add your email address or a profile from a different social site. You may also comment as a guest and just include your first name, or a special user name in the actual comment. Just make sure I know the user name so that you'll get credit for giveaways, or Summer Reading Points.
9. Finally, I will need to have consent from parents if you are under the age of 16. I will have forms available at the library starting Saturday April 20^th.

**These rules are subject to change at any time, but I will always let you know if they have! If you feel that something has been left off please feel free to let me, Whitney, know!

Always use common sense when posting on a public, online, site!
