PACT: Parents and Children Together. Program Manual.
Whitney, Loralyn; Hager, Elizabeth A.
The Parent and Children Together (PACT) project, developed by the Arkansas Valley and High Plain Regional Library Services in Colorado, is aimed at promoting lifelong interest in reading among today's children. PACT services include: (1) sponsoring workshops that will train librarians and volunteers to plan and present parents' programs; (2) providing a manual which will contain such items as program suggestions and news releases; (3) loaning audiovisual programs to participating libraries for use with community groups; (4) supplying promotional materials for distribution in local communities that will encourage parents to read to their children; (5) buying books for public libraries and parents' kits for target libraries; and (6) furnishing consulting services to help libraries with their local programs. An appendix features such items as a list of PACT audiovisual programs and samples of flyers and news releases. (CGD)
