The Olympic games will be on everyone's mind in the Itpcoming year. The Arizona Reading Program committee thought it would be wonderful to tie the 1996 reading program theme to the games that will have the world's attention. The committee members have done a marvelous job of devising exciting Olympic events for children of all ages, events that can be easily accomplished in a library setting. In keeping with the desire to encourage children to read, the committee has tried to create library Olympic events where EVERYONE is a winner. I am sure you will be impressed with their innovative ideas. The Summer of 1996 will be a time of fun and games. We, here at the Department of Library, Archives and Public Records, wish you a wonderful Olympic suMmer. Sincerely, Arlene Bansal Director An Equal Employment Opportunity Agency Keep The first 8 chapters of this Arizona Reading Program manual. They will not be reprinted next year. The chapters will become a separate Children's Programming manual. 10/95 S . 1 T A E - I E T A M Y R O T C U D O R T N I . R E N N I W A E N O Y R .

That was the idea of the Arizona Reading Program Committee when considering the theme for our 1996 program. Having the Olympics in our country, having so much attention from media and sponsors; was too good an opportunity to pass up. We wanted to make our reading program part of the summer excitement. The committee went to work creating programs, crafts, displays and events for library-style Olympics. The result is magnificent. There are ideas here for all ages of children, for all sizes of libraries, for all budgets. The members of this committee worked very hard on this manual and I thank each of them very much. In responst to suggestions made in the 1994 Arizona Reading Program evaluations, the committee made several changes in this manual. The most common requests from the evaluations were for glossy clip more preschool materials, for age range suggestions on crafts and programs and for more art. These three suggestions have been incorporated into this manual. You will find all programs, crafts, activity sheets and bibliographies have been grouped in age specific chapters. We have a chapter for preschoolers, a chapter for school age kids and one for and young adults. The preschool materials have been greatly expanded, over 100 pages of ideas worksheets. The clip art, which will be sent at a later date, will consist of three pages of camera ready glossies. From the clip art you can custom design your program announcements, flyers, bookmarks, etc. Arizona Reading Program is funded through the federal Library Services and Construction The Act, as amended.
