The manual features eight programs written by Texas librarians and library workers designed to bring teens to the library for summer fun and to provide experiences that build positive developmental assets. The manual features artwork, including posters, certificates, bookmarks, and clip art, created by illustrator, Kim Doner. You may read about Ms. Doner in the About the Artist section of this manual. The Young Adult Round Table (YART) Texas Teens Read! Advisory Committee (TTRAC) advises TSLAC in the development of the Texas Teens Read! program by proposing annual themes, nominating artists to create artwork, and co‐sponsoring programs about the manual and artwork at annual Texas Library Association conferences. My greatest thanks go to YART and TTRAC Chairs past and present, and to the Texas Teens Read! Advisory Committee members who contributed so much to develop this program. Several members of the TTRAC wrote the eight outstanding programs for the manual, for which I am very grateful. You may read about the authors in the About the Authors section of this manual. I would like to sincerely thank Dawn Krause and Christine McNew for their wonderful support and advice in the creation of this manual, as well as the staff at the Texas State Library who produce the online manual and coordinate the reproduction and distribution of the artwork. Finally, my enormous gratitude goes to the librarians in public and school libraries who are partners with the Texas State Library in providing Texas Teens Read! to teens throughout Texas.

The demand for precision and realism shaped her style, but did nothing to limit her imagination. She moved into painting for gallery shows and commissioned portrait lists, then landed her first contract for a children's book ‐ and life took off. Since then, she has won national recognition for her work. Of the nine books for children she has illustrated or illustrated and written, two received national awards. Her tenth release was a step from the norm for her: she teamed up with bestselling author PC Cast to illustrate a guide for young "vampyres" as a companion to Cast's famous series, "The House of Night". The Fledgling Handbook 101 premiered #1 on the New York Times bestseller list. As of this writing, three more illustrated texts are planned as novellas for the series. Kim is also busy working on her own series, as well as juggling wildlife rehabilitation, playing the djembe, visiting schools and conducting workshops, firing dichroic jewelry, designing stage backdrops, painting for galleries, and creating murals for public buildings.
