This guide provides planning, program suggestions, and photocopiable materials for use in Louisiana's 1992 summer reading program for children and adolescents. The overall theme of the program is "Grins and Giggles at the Library," and the two dinosaurs, Grins and Giggles, appear in clip art and promotional materials that come with the guide. The first section of the guide covers overall planning and promotion. It includes a planning checklist, sample news releases, clip art, and suggestions for opening and closing ceremonies. The second section describes ideas for decorating the library around the summer reading theme. The remainder of the guide provides ideas and resources for planning story times. The resources are divided by seven age groupings: toddlers; preschool-kindergarten; first-third grades; fourth-fifth grades; sixth grade; young adult; and all ages. Story-time plans are built around a specific theme, and four to five plans are provided for each of the first five groups. Plans include suggested readings, poems, activities, crafts, songs, and audiovisuals. Directions for most of the crafts are detailed and include graphics. Additional activities, coloring pages, crafts, jokes, poems, songs, and stories are included in a separate section. Annotated bibliographies list selected books arranged according to age group and then according to type, including humorous poetry, songbooks, craft ideas, and selected audiovisual materials. Resources for supplies, incentives, and decorations are also listed. (KRN)
