Most of the objectives were met or exceeded, and progress is reported on all. Additional efforts reported include extensive project publicity activities, recruitment of new and active board members, a children's book exchange, and solicitation of in-kind donations to the program. Conventional and innovative publicity efforts included handouts of buttons, balloons, and bookmarks at a book sale, flyers distributed through retailers and a local education association, mass media campaigns, and milk-carton advertising.
