Our theme, Book Ban uet, ties together the winning combination of books and reading with every-FrWs avorite pastime -- eating. So step right up and get ready to partake. Knowing that summer is the time when public libraries really shine, we have gone all out to offer you a rich smorgasbord of program ideas, activities and materials. This manual is your soup to nuts resource guide for the feast. Dip into it as you begin to plan for the summer. Decorate your flyers with the slogans and clip art, order from the basic pantry, reproduce the suggested games and giveaways, replicate any or all of the ideas for making reading the basic ingredient of your program. The ideas presented are designed to be flexible - so taste, stir, season and taste again, as you expand and adapt them to suit your patron's needs. While most summer reading programs are aimed at those eager book eaters, or children in the early grades, libraries are expanding their summer programs to reach wider audiences. We have included programs for the smaller appetite, read-to-me clubs for example. Ideas specifically targeted to young adults are flagged with a logo. And, to help you include all children in the reading feast, there is a section for youngsters on "special" diets designed for those with "special" needs. Steven Kellogg, the renowned children's book illustrator, designed a set of materials highlighting our theme. His infectious enthusiasm for the project shines through in his playful illustrations. Full of vitality and humor, the imaginative art features such favorite characters as Pinkerton, the Mysterious Tadpole and, Jimmy's Boa. There are many, many people who have made this year's state-wide summer reading program, the second in the state, a reality. We have listed on the following pages the dozens of enthusiastic contributors who mentally thought 'food" while they were still developing and completing "1992 New York is Reading Country." We would also like to thank State Librarian, Joseph F. Shubert for supporting this vital youth services program by approving an LSCA Title I Flanning Grant for the Nassau Library System. Thanks also to Joseph Green, Director of the Nassau Library System for his support. A final special thank-you to New York author Johanna Hurwitz for her original contributions to Book Banquet. Now we have all the ingredients for the banquet ready for you. The materials are to be ordered, the clip art is to be cut, the manual is in your "kitchen." The real fun begins as you all lend your creative minds to the state-wideeproject.
