Hello, Public Library Youth Services Staff,

Many, but not all public libraries, received Smokey Bear Reading Challenge materials last year from me. I apologize for not having time to get the materials out to all of your libraries.

The US Department of Agriculture (USDA)  Forest Service is excited to learn about how the Smokey Bear Reading Challenge went at your library if you participated.  If you can please take just a few moments to complete the following survey, that would be greatly appreciated: https://forms.office.com/g/QQq84KgKut.

We kindly ask for responses by January 31^st. Your responses will provide vital information regarding the program’s reach across the country. The Forest Service also welcomes any additional stories, pictures, or other information you would like to share about the challenge that you are not able to include in the survey response. Please email those directly to Rachel Bayer, ...@usda.gov" style="color: #2199e8; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.3; margin: 0; padding: 0; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;">rach...@usda.gov.

If you have any questions or need any additional information, please let Rachel know.

Thank you!

~Sharon

  All the best,
