The Wisconsin Summer Library Program was developed to promote use of the library by children during the summer, to familiarize them with the resources of the public library, and to help them retain their reading skills over the summer. Different ways of interpreting the theme of the summer program for 1985 were suggested by librarians throughout the state and have been incorporated in this manual. Bibliographies, filmographies, and program ideas are presented for use in local programs. The program guide includes four major sections: (1) Promoting Your Program, with subsections on community and school publicity and in-library promotion; (2) Projects, Activities, and Events, including subsections on program ideas, a puppet play, and The Reading Rainbow by the Educational Television Network; (3) Resources, including bibliographies of children's books and books for the blind and physically handicapped, a film list, a filmstrip list, two software package descriptions, and profiles of performing artists; and (4) Games and Giveaways. Introductory materials include goals to be considered in planning programs, summer library program theme and program goals as set at the 1984 planning meeting, suggested resources for planning programs, and an evaluation form to be completed by September 1985.
