[LM_NET] Tar: Reading Cards

[N2Books <N2Books@CABLEONE.NET>]

When I was a child (in the 60's) we could join a reading club through our library 
where we had a card (8 1/2 by 11) with a picture printed on it.  One year it was 
states, another it was Presidents of the US, another it was a bookworm and once it 
was an Indian chief.  (Not sure that last one would be politically correct now.)

Anyway, on the back of the card were spaces for 28 titles and authors.  As we read 
books, we kept track of our titles and glued a state in for each title, or a 
President in, or a bookworm circle (for 5 books) or a feather for the head dress.

I can remember being so motivated to read enough to fill in all 50 states or all 
the presidents.  I can also remember, choosing what state I would select next.  Big 
Decision!

I would love to find some cards like these to use with my students, but haven't 
seen any in years.  I do have 1 bookworm and some chief ones that my mother used 
when she was librarian.

Does anyone else remember these and do you have any idea where to find them?  I 
would especially like the states and capitols or the presidents.
