The program's slogan "Ticket to Tomorrow" holds the promise of excitement for the young people you serve so capably. The poster art for this summer shows spaceship passengers holding their library cards as their tickets to tomorrow. That is a terrific message! A child's success in reading is one of the predictors of academic and life success. You offer a wonderfully broad array of materials tokeep children motivated about reading. As you build and reinforce the concept of reading for pleasure, you are helping children maintain and perhaps improve their reading skills during the summer months. Thank you for all the creative energy you devote to Wisconsin's young people and their families. May all your tomorrows be filled with the knowl- edge that you have made a significant difference in many, many lives. John T. Benson State Superintendent of Public Instruction 7 Preface Here we are, entering the 21st century and carrying on the tradition of providing excellent library service to children, young adults, and families. I hope some sort of tradition like this will still existprobably in some as-yet- unimagined formatswhen the next millennium comes around! By then there might be publishers on Pluto, jobbers on Jupiter, and manuscripts on Mars. But surely there will be storytellers, too. There will be adults who care deeply about providing the very bestcreative experiences for all chil- dren. New vocabularies and new artistic media will be used to stir imagina- tions, transmit traditions, and convey knowledge. For now, as we learn about rapidly changing technologies, we remain com- mitted to helping young readers learn to love books and our other library resources. Their library cards are, indeed, theirtickets to tomorrow in many ways. I hope this manual will help you get a good start in this new century. Let it stretch your own imagination and inventive potential; adapt its sugges- tions to make them fit your community. Above all, make the summer pro- gram one that you enjoy as much as the youngpeople and families you serve. Jane A. Roeber Program Coordinator and Manual Content Editor vii 8 Acknowledgments Artist David La Rochelle, of White Bear Lake, Minnesota, is the creator of the Ticket to Tomorrow poster art. His original art was created as a cut-paper collage. The boldly colored spaceship, passengers, comets, stars, and books are sure to draw the cheerful attention of children and adults alike. And the library cards in the passengers' hands tell their own important story! A former elementary school teacher, LaRochelle is a popular visiting author-illustrator in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and North Dakota schools. His puzzles, art, stories, and poems appear frequently in Spider and Cricket magazines. He has written eight puzzle books in the Mad Mysteries series (Price, Stern, 1995-1998). He is the author of A Christmas Guest (Carolrhoda, 1988) and The Evening King (Atheneum, 1993) and he has illustrated books by Donna Erickson, Janet Greeson, Jill McNamara, and Debbie O'Neal. David LaRochelle is an artist to watch. We are delighted to have him along as Wiscon- sin librarians and their program participants begin the 21st century with a Ticket to Tomorrow. 2000 Planning Committee Claudia Backus Sharon Charles Waukesha County Federated Library Southwest Wisconsin Library System System Fennimore, WI Waukesha, WI Representing Southwest Wisconsin Library Representing Waukesha County Federated System .
