Summer Reading Program 2012–Other Resources

I hope you had the opportunity to attend the CHILIS Spring Conference and hear the ideas shared during the Summer Reading panel presentation.  I also wanted to let you know about some resources on the 2012 night theme, which are provided by other states around the country. Here are the links:

California’s SRP resources page has programming, decorating and outreach ideas for the children’s, teen and adult programs.

Ohio’s Teen SRP resources has teen and tween program and promotional ideas for the “Own the Night” theme.

Iowa’s SRP resources page lists some ideas for crafts and activities for for the children’s and teen programs.

The Northeast Kansas Library System shares some ideas from a recent workshop on SRP.

I wish you the best in your planning for summer reading 2012!
