10:12:56	 From  Catherine Baer : Julie’s audio froze up on my end - can you repeat what it is that Beanstack doesn’t allow?
10:13:18	 From  Catherine Baer : Ah got it - thanks!
10:14:03	 From  Heather Kent : All of our grand prizes are geared towards doing gift card codes - although we have great baskets that I hate to have sit around for another year.  
10:17:07	 From  Karen Wendt : ARE PARTNERS WILLING TO MOVE EXPIRATION DATES TO EARLY SPRING?
10:19:06	 From  Karen Wendt : We are doing a universal age program so coupons that are good for all ages are best for us.
10:20:14	 From  Karen Wendt : What about having fewer more valuable coupons and going to a Random Drawing for these larger more valuable prizes vs a coupon for every reader? Just a thought.
10:20:17	 From  Amanda Bosky : Is Eugsters even open, or planning to open?
10:20:43	 From  Heather Kent : I think they are allowed to open starting the 13th.  
10:23:13	 From  Mary Driscoll : are people doing points, minutes, or books in Beanstack?
10:23:14	 From  Bethany Hultgren   to   Jean Anderson(Privately) : I finished this past week but ONLY because we had our summer reading pretty much figured out and the templates.
10:23:42	 From  Julie Harrison : Minutes, plus activities where they can earn tickets for grand prizes. We used to track books.
10:23:44	 From  Karen Wendt : We have one person building a template that we will all use and try to keep all of the ages as Universal as possible. Then with that template we will edit for the different age groups, hopefully small edits.
10:24:17	 From  Bethany Hultgren : I finished this past week ONLY because we had the reading program sort of figured out already, so I found a template to match.
10:24:54	 From  Karen Wendt : We are going to try to have them track days read and activities. We will create a google document with activity ideas for earning four Activity Badges - Explore, Learn, Create, Connect and we will have several ideas under each Activity.
10:25:19	 From  Karen Wendt : HEATHER - please do type it out.
10:25:57	 From  Mary Driscoll : great ideas, everyone!
10:27:18	 From  Katy Hanousek : In the past I created my prize baskets as the last thing  before we kicked-off and then I realized I needed that info to set-up Beanstack. Ugh.
10:27:27	 From  Patty Hoggatt : They said there is a Beanstack Facebook user group too.
10:28:10	 From  Amanda Bosky : STO: June 15-Aug 22
10:28:37	 From  Karen Wendt : MOO June 15 to Aug 31
10:29:00	 From  Heather Kent : mcf June 15 - 31
10:29:10	 From  Heather Kent : The FB Group is really good.  
10:29:22	 From  Heather Kent : We are doing activities (reading and activities) = 1 point.  5 points = a badge and ticket.  Tickets can be entered for the "grand prizes"  5 badges = finishing the program part 1.  But they can keep earning badges and tickets.  

10:29:26	 From  Mary Driscoll : June 15-august 15
10:29:57	 From  Julie Harrison : We will extend our program by allowing them to keep earning free books throughout the summer.
10:30:02	 From  Julie Harrison : at vER
10:30:36	 From  Heather Kent : We do reading minutes (20 minutes) rather than books.  We got away from counting books.  
10:31:54	 From  Emily Henneman : yes you are correct Raechel
10:32:31	 From  Andrea Schmitz : Rachel, be prepared for emails about Beanstack!
10:32:45	 From  Katy Hanousek : POY - we do 2 hours/ week for 0-5 and 6-11.
10:32:54	 From  Amanda Bosky : 15 hours is 900 minutes
10:33:06	 From  Katy Hanousek : POY and we do 200 pages/week for 12-17 and 18+.
10:33:07	 From  Catherine Baer : We always let the families determine their own goal. Can we still do that with Beanstack?
10:33:35	 From  Amanda Bosky : I don't think we can let people set their own goal. STO does the same
10:33:51	 From  Amanda Bosky : Basic goal for everyone in that age range plus "stretch" badges is the best solution I think
10:34:00	 From  Michelle Veeneman : BLV is 12 hours for “competition”
10:35:47	 From  Karen Wendt : House Image for why reading aloud is important recommends 20 minutes a day. http://mymonona.com/777/Why-Summer-Reading-is-Important
10:40:09	 From  Bethany Hultgren : Has anyone ever used muvchat for a teen program?
10:40:20	 From  Karen Wendt : great question! 
10:40:49	 From  Julie Harrison : Bethany, Leah Portz at VER has, but she's not on today. You could reach out to her at lportz@ci.verona.wi.us
10:41:52	 From  Julie Harrison : We're looking at Zoom Webinar as an option. Participants have limited access to anything, as I understand it. For our summer performers, we're using Facebook Live though.
10:42:30	 From  Cindy Jensen : Is it a difference between the free vs paid account for zoom?
10:43:00	 From  Bethany Hultgren : Free accounts have time limit for the meeting.
10:43:03	 From  Julie Harrison : We've paid for a zoom account so we don't get cut off in meetings, but Zoom webinar is a separate cost.
10:43:45	 From  Heather Kent : I was thinking FB live would be really good.  Chris Fascione wants to do zoom - where we would do registration but I'm worried about accessibility.  
10:46:48	 From  Heather Kent : It's hard to ask a families with small children to always be on time to events online.
10:47:13	 From  Patty Hoggatt : You get phone link with paid one.
10:47:41	 From  Julie Harrison : It's been interesting how some performers care a lot about how long the video is accessible, and others don't seem to care at all. I agree that having it available later is nice for people.
10:48:38	 From  Amanda Bosky : Accessibility: I have been asking performers for permission to show their video on our local community TV channel for a period of time as well
10:49:09	 From  Stacy Kundinger : We paid for month to month also
10:49:10	 From  Heather Kent : Good idea Amanda.  
10:49:27	 From  Patty Hoggatt : It's cheaper if you get for year. Price break. 
10:49:59	 From  Julie Harrison : Maybe I misunderstood and our director decided to get the better rate with a year subscription.
10:50:08	 From  Amanda Bosky : Free one allows screen sharing
10:50:59	 From  Karen Wendt : and she has an update on pricing because folks are asking
10:51:20	 From  Karen Wendt : Sadarri sent me updated letter re her multicultural multilingual program
10:52:05	 From  Karen Wendt : And coworkers showing up in storytime chat
10:52:18	 From  Melissa Carollo : Our virtual teen programming is going great for SUN. I will definitely continue doing some programming virtually even after we're all back in person! No fighting for a program room! 
10:52:19	 From  Amanda Bosky : It's depressing to not see the kids
10:53:10	 From  Karen Wendt : Not seeing and hearing the kids is why I hope to make Zoom a safe choice for storytimes.
10:53:13	 From  Melissa Carollo : I'm also seeing some of my quieter and shy teens speaking up a lot more during the virtual programs. Such an awesome and unexpected benefit!
10:53:27	 From  Catherine Baer : My husband said he feels like he’s living in Romper Room!
10:54:40	 From  Karen Wendt : THank you Julie! I keep thinking about it but haven't had time to do anything. I'm trying not to be worried about it
10:54:56	 From  Melissa Carollo : I believe Mcmillian already extended through August.
10:55:15	 From  Heather Kent : We are assuming - and even when we go "live" again, my director has asked that I keep a virtual Saturday storytime. 
10:55:23	 From  Karen Wendt : Have you found good storytime books from MacMillan?
10:56:12	 From  Julie Harrison : It turns out I really like Scholastic and HarperCollins books - I had no idea!
10:56:42	 From  Amanda Bosky : I can only to FB Live ST through Chrome. And I can't be logged right into my library acct, I have to be logged into my personal acct and acting as the STO FB page
10:56:57	 From  Emily Henneman : That happened to me as well yesterday.
10:57:26	 From  Kelly Allen : I do FB live on FB app on an iPad.
10:58:37	 From  Heather Kent : The best was, my video dropped on my end at the end.  I kept going - and it did feed out...but I couldn't see where I was placing the book.  
10:59:56	 From  Karen Wendt : My daughter in Mexico asked if I got contacts because she watched a storytime. But I am farsighted so need to take my glasses off to see the computer.
11:00:46	 From  Amanda Bosky : Maybe coordinate thru Kidslist?
