The only thing my library did in summer was to extend the time you were allowed to have a book and you were a allowed to check out two books more than usual. It looks like they now do more during the summer holiday; authors visiting and giving children a chance to interview them.
I can both see the point in what the librarian says and what the parents say. I don't think I would have been put off by someone reading more than me. But I can understand other children would. I think a prize draw, as others have suggested, would be the way to go. That way even children who read slower get a chance to win something.
