Summary

For librarians, this book describes how to organize a summer reading program that is interactive, family-oriented, and centers-based. Soltan, a children's librarian and adjunct instructor at Oakland Community College, bases the approach on programs at museums and learning centers and presents three themed units with sample projects, materials lists, and recommended books. She details how to design a program, involve the community and volunteers, and measure outcomes, and concludes with outlines for five additional units. Handouts and forms are included.
