[ISLMA-Share] Abe incentives

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

We do a field trip for any student who has read (and had a verbal
discussion with me) all 20 Abe books. Last year, 10 students got to go,
which was a great improvement. One year we went to the Abe Lincoln Museum
in Springfield, and last year we went to the library at ISU, where they did
a program for us (that was actually pretty cool!).
