ABSTRACT The Texas Reading Club is designed to encourage youth to read for pleasure and to promote library usage.A statewide theme is selected each year that emphasizes ways in which reading expands young minds and encourages children to use their imaginations. The year 2000's theme, "Invent the future! READ!," emphasizes ways in which reading expands young minds and encourages children to use their imaginations to envision the future in which they will be creative and contributing adults. A handbook is created each year to aid in planning and programming, and the handbook, along with posters, reading logs, bookmarks, and certificates are offered by the Texas State Library to encourage participation and support of this important program. This document includes the Texas Reading Club Proclamation (May 30, 2000); words to this year's theme song and a link for listening to the song; biographical information on the illustrator and acceptable use of artwork policy; links to web sites about inventions; and descriptions of the following Texas Reading Club materials with contact information for ordering: program manual; posters; bookmarks; reading logs; and certificates. Also included are links to web sites for previous Texas Reading Clubs, and links to selected resources.(AEF)
