Oakland Public Library needed a summer reading program for each of their audiences – kids, teens and adults. They needed a web application in which libraries could track programs where patrons could perform measurable or countable activities and receive rewards or incentives in return. We built them a summer reading web application that could be customized for each of their audiences and be accessed anywhere. 

Key Features of Play at Your Library:

1. Attractive patron interfaces for various age groups (kids, teens, and adults) including different color palette/font options for each program.
2. Admin/Staff interface that allows staff to efficiently enter data for patrons who do not do their own data entry. 
3. A user-friendly and robust statistical reporting function that generates customizable and printable reports.
4. A staff interface that gives them the ability to access all patron information.
5. The ability for admins to create a wide variety of patron activities such as reading, attending events, volunteering, writing reviews, creating booklists or any other activity to be used as credit toward one incentive.
6. The ability for admins to create rewards/incentives that include virtual options (such as “badges”, gold stars, raffle ticket entries etc.) or physical options (pick up a physical prize at the library). 
7. The ability to run multiple public programs within the software (summer reading, volunteering at library, etc.) with different eligibility criteria and different activity metrics for each program, that is set by the administrator.
8. An attractive “progress report” for each program in which both patrons and staff can view, track and print the progress of the patron in real time. 
9. A customizable patron notification system to automatically send e-mails and/or notifications to the patron.
10. Raffle drawing function in which admin/staff can create unlimited drawings and select winners.
11. Polling and survey function to create, track and record polls and surveys.
12. Patrons can follow other patrons and “Like” other patron content such as booklists and reviews.
