I am well aware of the energies put forth in your communities to creatememorable and rewarding library experiences for youngsters each summer. In my 12 years as state superintendent, one of the programsI've been proudest of is the Summer Library Program. It stands out as an "institution"characterized by freedom, joy, and laughter. The programs you carry out are vital componentsin the education of our children, but they are outside the strictures of any school setting.While children participate in this purely recreational activity, their reading skills and powersof analysis are strength- ened and their imaginations are stimulated. An additionalbenefit, is that their families also learn more about the wealth and variety of available public library resources. As I think about the "Go Wild! Read!" theme this year,it strikes me as an irresistible invitation to explore the limitless riches of Wisconsin's publiclibraries.Furthermore, exploration of Wisconsin's outdoor riches is encouraged by thissummer's statewide incentive award. The DPI is happy to coordinate with the Departmentof Natural Resources to provide one-day entry passes to Wisconsin's state parks. The passeswill be presented to Summer Library Program participants who complete the "Go Wild! Read!" programrequirements established by the local library. The Department of Public Instruction is proud of its associationwith community librarian c and is pleased to make available materials contributed byand developed with the cooperation of librarians across the state. You have my very best wishes for a wildly successful summer program. Herbert J. Grover State Superintendent Preface Welcome to a wild world of stories, songs, and activities! "Go Wild! Read!" is a theme that can lead you and your young library users to a multiplicity of interesting materials. Keith Baker's moonlit poster sets the stage for enjoying the Wisconsin outdoors, but his congenial characters may be reading about anything under the moon! So, as you prepare for this summer's activities, you can make use of reading matter about recycling, information about insects, poems about pollution, resources about natural resources, essays about the environment, compilations about camping,dictionaries about dinosaurs, series about species, videos about vines, journals about jungles. reference books about rain forests, tomes about trees, books about bears, tunes about trash, works about water, novels about nature, recordings about rabbits, and much more! This manual brings together many ideas of practical value. More than 50 Wisconsin librarians contributed to the manual in various ways.Ideas also were gleaned from Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources publications and recehz. summer library pro- gram manuals from Arizona and Iowa. Use the manual as a guide to programpreparation. The Department of Public Instruction also has printed promotional materials to complement the "Go Wild! Read!" theme, including large and small posters, cut and uncut bookmarks, reading records, achievement certificates, a button; and a stamp. My thanks to each contributor to the 1993 Wisconsin Summer Library Program Manual. The entire summer program is dependent upon your willingness to share ideas. Jane A.
