Summer reading program fun for adults! While I love facilitating summer reading programs at my library, helping patrons of all ages find the perfect book for the beach or the tent or the swing in the backyard (or the comfy chair in the climate controlled reading room of the community center!) I'm loving the opportunity to participate in a summer camp I didn't have to design myself. So far, filling in the bingo board with stickers has been my favorite (and perhaps in the future a special sticker or bookmark for a bingo or blackout would be an option?)

This was such a fun idea! Thanks for doing it. Next year it would be great if it had some prizes or a way to track how many books people read over the month.

I think this has been such a fun activity with NetGalley this summer! I enjoyed the camp theme and it reminded me of childhood summers. Why don’t we have summer camp for adults? We should. I’m submitting my talent show entry early as I sadly am leaving camp early to go on vacation. Thanks for the fun!

Although I joined a bit late, this is an awesome way to encourage reading throughout the summer months! Love the idea and hope to participate earlier next year :) I loved the Bingo and I hope to see more events next time where book lovers can all meet together to talk about all things bookish

I enjoy the Concept of Camp Netgalley and this associated welcome packet. I particularly have had fun with the Bingo Board on page 7 of 9. There are a few things I think could make a similar event and packet a bit more fun for participants in future years.

- Opportunities to win finished copies or signed arcs of partnered books reviewed during the event.
- more interactable pages or posts about the event.
-Announcing the event early in the spring and giving a way for indie book stores to get involved that is low to no cost.

This is a fun challenge. Perfect for the summer. The stickers are cool 😎 would encourage my fellow readers to participate in the challenge

this looks really fun, unfortunately I am joining it quite late. As a bookstore owner I would love to participate on camp net galley more next year and maybe even host a few in person parties where we can giveaway some ARCs? Maybe something to think about for the future iterations of the camp!

A fun challenge to encourage reading and reviewing books over the summer months in a reward based way. There are different challenges to engage with and stickers to earn along the way. Thank you NetGalley.

This is a fun bookish challenge for the summer! I love it and it definitely helped me prioritizing reading some titles off my Netgalley shelf.

I’m so excited to be participating in my first #CampNetGalley!! I have really enjoyed bingo and the scavenger hunt. I can’t wait to read everyone’s Talent Show reviews and find some new books. #NetGalley

This ebook is kind of helpful for summer reading ideas and also participating in some kind of challenge. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to join a summer reading challenge in the least.

Thank you, I'm having a blast at Camp NetGalley. I love the bingo, it is fun ticking off the challenges. The scavenger hunt is fun, I love seeing what everyone gets up to.

This was difficult to figure out how to complete the activities or if they needed to be turned in for credits towards a prize. The idea was fun!

A really fun initiative! Looking forward to more such activities like these! I think the instructions and the directions in the information packet could be improved upon a bit more.

This is a really sweet idea, and a great way to connect with the community on social media! The stickers are also a nice touch

I really like the concept of this. It reminds me of the reading challenges i used to do at the library when i was younger. I found it a bit confusing to get my head around in all honesty especially for the talent show portion but again i love the concept and think the resources are a great idea!

Fun, encourages interaction. I haven’t utilised it as much as is possible or anywhere near as much as others , probably because I’m so engrossed with my current batch of books, but it’s definitely worth downloading.

Exciting I think. I’m new so I don’t really know hardly anything about this… but hey, first time for everything, right?
I didn’t really know I had to review this… here’s my review though 😆
