Different reading habit in the internet ageBorrowing rate of our library is dropped in this school year.
Library need to pay extra effort in the next year to promote reading and rise the rate.
Therefore we need to know which is the best method.

Classes are randomly distributed into following groups (2 to 3 classes each):
1. Control group (nothing required)
2. Reading report (2 per year, about 200-300 words each)
3. Reading record (collected 2 times per year)
