We are proud of the partnership between the Arizona Humanities Council and the Arizona State Library, Archives and Public Records! One component of this partnership is the Arizona Reading Program (ARP). Begun in 1974, the Arizona Reading Program was created to promote books, reading, and literacy for Arizonans. This year a new collaborator has been added. The Arizona Humane Society joins us for the reading theme Books and Pets: Our Friends for Life!, with a focus on humane education. An understanding of our pets, their needs and their characteristics, can only enhance our enjoyment of them and ensure their well-being. For many, pets are an important part of everyday life. For others, pets are appreciated through the power of the imagination and through literature. We invite you to spend some of your reading time with our theme and celebrate the joy of reading and the joy pets bring to our lives. Sincerely, GladysAnn Wells, State Librarian STATE CAPITOL 1700 W.

Now entering its third year, "Arizona Reads," the organization the two agencies created in 1999 to foster reading, continues to expand to all corners of the state. The Arizona Reading Program, one of three projects under the "Arizona Reads" umbrella, is issuing its manual in a more timely fashion, and the information is being revised to include more practical, feasible, and age-based activitiesbased on suggestions from you, the librarians in the field. The Arizona Reading Program will continue the practice started last yearthat is, offering workshops in several communities throughout the state. We also invite you to join the steering committee for the Arizona Reading Program, which has been serving Arizona's library community for more than twenty-five years. It is your comments, which are framed by your experiences with youth in libraries, that help our staff and committee members design and build a thematic program that works for all of you, regardless of your library's location, budget, or staff size. This year, the manual's theme is "Books and Pets: Our Friends for Life!" We hope the exercises and materials that follow will be a significant attraction in your library, andwe look forward to your feedback during the year. AHC and the State Library are also pleased to welcome the Arizona Humane Society as a contributor. We all support and cherish children, pets, and reading, so it comes as no surprise that we should include them in this year's manual. In addition to the Arizona Reading Program, "Arizona Reads" also includes Motheread Arizona, a unique literacy and parenting program, and the ever-popular Community Book Discussion Program, which offers books and facilitators for adult audiences. Don't hesitate to call AHC if you want to learn more about these other "Arizona Reads" programs, and be sure to look for workshops in your community that are conducted by AHC and the State Library. On behalf of the board of directors and staff of the Arizona Humanities Council, Iam honored to join with the Arizona State Library, Archives and Public Records to provide these important and meaningful programs. We look forward to a continuing relationship with you, as we all work to foster an appreciation of reading in Arizona. Sincerely, guirrow Dan Shilling ARIZONA HUMANITIES COUNCIL The Ellis-Shackelford House - 1242 North Central Avenue- Phoenix, AZ 85004-1887 602/257-0335 - Fax: 602/257-0392 - www.azhumanities.org Welcome to the Arizona Reading Program for 2002, Book and Pets: Our Friends for Life! We believe this theme is a rich one, full of possibilities for entertaining and educa- tional programming based on two of a child's best friends. Both books and pets touch our lives in so many heartfelt ways, and we hope that by bringing them together in this theme, we can increase our appreciation of both. The ARP Manual is intended to provide you with ready-to-use materials as well as inspire you to discover resources already available in your branches and communities. We have also developed a set of materials that are appealing and fun for kids, and hope these items will help you encourage them to participate in your Arizona Reading Program.
