What librarians say

“Saved me time.
Saved us money.”

The usability, accessibility and customer service were enough to win me over—but they are also reasonably priced. My director was pleased because Reader Zone saved me time and saved us a ton of money.

I have never been able to follow the progress of reading over the summer before, and with Reader Zone, I am able to track student progress before school starts. I will be repeating it next year!
