I have to think of another summer reading program." Because of her negative attitude she was, of course, immediately banished from Children's Libraryland. Soon afterwards an underground movement was started on her behalf. The rebels had a cause. They felt it was their right never to have to listen again to a young person saying,"And this is what my book is about." The librarians feared that if they had to hear another summer reading report or had to pick another "workable" theme, they would begin to hate youth and their books. Exaggerated prose? Yes. Corny? Yes! But...the scenario has enough truth in it to make us uncomfortably aware that there are some very serious problems hidden beneath the farce. We acknowl- edge that summer reading programs are part of our job description as youth librarians, but they can become a source of frustration because of scheduling problems when staff wants to take vacation, creating new themes and plans each summer, staffing shortages, and executing the details of the program. So, we need to reiterate and reaffirm thegoals behind summer reading programs. In herdissertation on summer reading effectiveness, Dr. Jill L. Locke, asked librarians across the country why they ran summer reading programs each year. "The major reasons were to promote reading as enjoyment, to promote library use, and then to maintain reading skills over the summer months."' I'd like to focus on the third reason of maintaining reading skills over the summer months. I feel promoting enjoyable reading and library use are goals we have all year round, not just in the summer. Dr. Benjamin Bloom says all children can learn but some just need more time.2 By having summer reading programming, we are giving precisely that. We are creating an environment to give a child the time and the opportunity to read. The whole language people tell us that reading comprehension cannot take place unless there is prior knowledge. Without some background and experience about a subject, it is virtually impos- zible to understand what is being read. Our summer reading pro- grams can assist youth in increasing theirintellectual base. By reading during the summer,the young people broaden their backgrounds so that other knowledge can be layered onto an existing core. 'Jill L. Locke, The Effectiveness of Summer Reading Programs in Public Libraries in the United States (Ph.D. University of Rittsburgh, 1988), p. 82. 'Dr. Benjamin S. Bloom, "New Views of the Learner: Implications for Instruction and Curriculum," EducationalLeadership, April, 1978, p. 564. The more you know, the more you canknow! It is essential that we provide an inviting,fun and satisfying atmosphere so that children want to keep reading. In the formal sense, we are notinvolved in the educational process or the teaching ofreading. Words like "supplemental" and "enrichment" have always been used whenspeaking about the public librarians' role in the reading process. But veryrecently this educational premise has changed. Summer reading programs arenot a nice extra for thekids who read anyway and want some recognition or an alternative to day camp or anotheractivity to fill the long, hot summer. Summer reading programs areessential if kids are going to read to succeed. Theimpact that summer reading programs can have on the educationalclimate in America is enormou. Before we get too self righteous over ourimportant role, a word of caution must be interjected. Wehave to be very careful that the paraphernalia surrounding summerreading programs doesn't strangle us. Dr. Jill Locke saysif we do not serve 8% of our service population, we arenot successful,no matter how clever our decorations are or what goodattendance we've had at our programs.3 If we are tempted to limitregistration because we can't manage to listen to allthose reports or don't have room for all those stickers, then we have tore-think why we are doing all this "busy" work in the first place. 3Locke, op. cit., p. 46 7 Later on in the manual, alternatives aresuggested for some "non-traditional" ways of operating a summer reading program.We must never lose sight of the basic philosophy of summerreading programs and that is to get young peopleto read. In 1991 an LSCA grant was awarded for thefirst time by the New York State Library to assistlibrarians with this important aspect of their work. The theme, "New Yorkis Reading Country," was selected by a committee ofyouth services consultants to allow for state-wide media coverage andadvertisement. A hoped for by-product in choosingthis theme is that chil- dren and young adults will add a few more layersto what they already know about their state. The manual will alsobe helpful during the school year for.4th grade social studies teacherswho teach about New York State as part of theircurriculum. This manual should never stifle your individuality; rather, it should be used as a guide and help free yourenergies so that you can interact with the youth even more.It will provide a structure so that you can be creative withinitsframework. "Within boundaries is where we have real freedom." The thematic possibilities for "New Yorkis Reading Country" are numerous. I did not includestories just because the title or subject fit into our New York theme. My wastepaperbasket is full of rejected material. In orderto passmy programmer's "audition," the material had to have literaryquality, dramatic appeal, and be of the right length to getinto the manual. 8 Summer is our special time to shine. We're visible to the library director and to the library board as they parade through our rooms seeing our bulletin boards and summer themedecora- tions, seeing young people attending programs, and reading the newspapIr publicity the programs generate. Ourcirculation figures jump when we are programming and bringing children and young adults into the library with our summer reading agenda. We're also visible to the educational community when we go into classrooms to promote and advertise our programs. Just like having a recipe written on a 3 x 5 card won't actually feed the family, so, too, having this manual won't bring the children into the library and make them readers. But I sin- cerely hope it will give you a few ideas and a little inspira- tion.

    COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT VISION FORMER BEECH-NUT FACILITY, VILLAGE OF CANAJOHARIE, NY MARCH 2018 INTRODUCTION Site facts The former Beech-Nut facility sits in the heart of the Village of • 27 acres, 35 structures Canajoharie, a quaint town on the Mohawk River in New York. • Downtown Canajoharie, NY Imperial Packing Company started operations on the site in 1891. Imperial grew the business selling vacuum-packed hams • Access to I-90 Thruway, Route 10 and Route 5 using the adjacent Erie Canal, and the founders invested in the • Former food production facility Village as the industry grew. The facilities expanded rapidly • Located adjacent to the Mohawk River when Beech-Nut began producing a growing number of food products including chewing gum, coffee, baby food and more. For decades, Beech-Nut’s thriving operations provided jobs, community support, significant tax revenue and a sense of identity for the Village. Since the former Beech-Nut facility closed in 2010, the property has remained inactive and many of the 35 vacant buildings have fallen into disrepair. The Village and Montgomery County foreclosed on the property in 2017, creating the opportunity to begin visioning and planning for redevelopment of the iconic site encompassing 27 acres. During 2017, the EPA Superfund Redevelopment Initiative (SRI) provided reuse planning assistance to engage the community in developing a redevelopment vision for the site. The SRI team has worked with Montgomery County Erie Canal and Beech-Nut factory ca. early 1900’s. and the Village of Canajoharie to facilitate reuse discussions with local stakeholders including the Village of Canajoharie administrators, the Exit 29 Task Force, the Montgomery County Executive office, and local business owners.
