I value the program highly because it epitomizes the way community spirit and caring can embrace, nurture, and enrich the children of our state. All of us here at the department are seeking ways we can better serve Wisconsin's children and their families. We admire and appreciate the ways in which our colleagues in public libraries across the state stimulate students through creative, appealing summer events and activities. The recreational reading programs you offer reinforce school-year skills and, of equal importance, build lifelong interests. As you celebrate this year's "Rock 'n' Read" theme, I know you will be cooperating in in-lovative ways with musicians young and old in your communities, with geologists and gemologists, with parents and grandparents. I' know the children who participate in your programs will be helped to better listen and hear, to better look and see, to better read and understand. The Department of Public Instruction is proud of its continuing association with community librarians and is pleased to make available materials contributed by and developed with the cooperation of librarians across the state. May your 1994 summer library activities crescendo into lasting pleasure for all who participate. John T. Benson State Superintendent of Public Instruction 6 Preface I wish I could insert a fanfare recording here that would sound a loud and cheerful introduction to this "Rock 'n' Read" summer! From the jammin' critters on Woodleigh Hubbard's poster to the jivin' librarians who have come up with decorating and programming suggestions, this looks like an energ3tic summer. Rafters will be ringing and circ desks swinging as music, movement, moppets, mothers, and moon walkers invade the stacks. My hope is that each of you will enjoy every minute of your summer library program. This manual is intended to help you do just that. It combines the creative contributions of more than 50 Wisconsin librarians and ideas gleaned from recent program manuals produced in Alabama, Missouri, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee, and Utah. The Department of Public Instruction also has printed promotional materials to complement the "Rock 'n' Read" theme, including large and small posters, cut and ur cut bookmarks, a con.bined reading record/achievement certificate, and abutton. Insofar as possible given the constraints of schedule and budget, materials respond to concerns and opinions expressed in a statewide 1993 Summer Library Program survey. My thanks to each contributor to the 7994 Wisconsin Summer Library Program Manual. The success of the entire summer program depends upon your willingness to share ideas. Jane A. Roeber Program Coordinator and Manual Content Editor vii Acknowledgments Warm-hearted thanks are due to Boulder, Colorado, author/illustrator Woodleigh Hubbard for her creation of the vibrant, imaginative, and light-hearted "Rock 'n' Read" poster.
