My local library still does Summer reading programs for both adults and kids. My teacher spouse does the adult one since she has a lot of free time in the Summer. She gets at least one gift basket each Summer that includes a $25 gift card to a local restaurant, as I'm pretty sure its just her and maybe 2 other adults doing it.

Idk read a book and do homework to get a chance to win a small thing during your summer break? That would’ve been a hard sell to me as a kid. I’m glad to hear that my skepticism about such a program is wrong though!
