This year's sloganMake Waves: Read!conveys to me not only a joyful sense of summertime play, but a deeper message as well. If children are to succeed and excel, if they are to "make waves" by being independent thinkers, if they are to relish waving at friends around the globethen they must, indeed, know how to read and to read well. That ability is perfected only through practice. All that you do to stimulate interest in books and to instill a delight in reading is invaluable. Your willingness to expend your considerable creative energies on summer programs for children and their families is a tremendous contribution to yourcommunity. It is a very real part of the foundation upon which an educated society rests. You have my good wishes as you celebrate the aquatic world with plenty of fun and laughter this summer. At the same time, you will know you are helping nurture those qualities that will lead to lifelong love of learning. John T. Benson State Superintendent of Public Instruction Preface Once again, the youth services librarians of Wisconsin have contributed creative ideas in order to make a Summer Library Program manual that is a practical guide to program planning and implementation My sincere thanks go to each one of them and to librarians in other states who have produced summer manuals that enhance this publication A willing- ness to share ideas and experiences characterizes much of the fine work carried outby youth services librarians across the country. Make Waves: Read! is a joy-filled slogan I hope its spirit of spontaneity will prevail throughout the summer in libraries throughout the state Wisconsin is filled with ponds, streams, lakes, rivers, marshes, waterfalls, and swimming poolsall of which can be celebrated along with books, poems, crafts, and games.
