For those of you who have done a read-a-thon for the this group in the past, this should look familiar. If you're new to this, allow us to explain!

What do I have to do to participate?
If you are interested in participating and can commit to actively engaging in the read-a-thon, then please sign up in the comments below. We have chosen the categories so this group activity is fair and fun for readers of all speeds.

Please only sign up if you can commit to checking in with your team (on 카지노싸이트) at least 5 times during the March 1-9 schedule.

How many teams will there be?
It will greatly depend on how many people sign up and how much they think they will be able to read. We are targeting 8-10 people per group.

QUESTIONNAIRE (This helps us sort teams!)
1. What is your availability this week, and how many books do you anticipate reading during the Read-a-Thon?
2. Which time zone do you live in?
3. Can you commit to checking in with your team frequently during the read-a-thon?
4. Are you interested in being a team leader for your group? (i.e. keeping track of team totals, needed tasks, updating spreadsheet, etc. -- We aim to have two captains per team so you can share the responsibility.)

Rachel A. (abyssallibrarian) | 3243 comments 1. What is your availability this week, and how many books do you anticipate reading during the Read-a-Thon?

EST

3. Can you commit to checking in with your team frequently during the read-a-thon?
I will do my best to check in at least once per day, usually right at the end of the day where I'm done reading. Or, I might try to check in the following day with the previous day's reading instead, since I think that might be more realistic.
