  • The programming activity connects to the Summer Reading program and author events and themed programs through QR code implementation.

  • Make it Multimodal: Link QR codes to videos, audio clips, or digital collections.

  • Scale for Ages: The assessment should have different versions for children and teenagers and adults with varying levels of difficulty.

  • The platform needs to provide users with direct access to library resources including e-books and research databases and event calendars to enhance their understanding.
