Dear Youth Librarian
Welcome to Florida's 25th Annual Summer Library
Program. Here at the State Library, we share your commitment
to Florida's young people, and are proud of the crucial role
Florida's libraries play in helping them develop a love of
reading and books.
—
Florida'—s was one of the first and remains one of the
most vigorous Summer Library Programs in the nation. As we
celebrate the 25th annual Summer Library Program, I want to
thank you for your contributions over the last quarter-
century. Without your dedication and participation, the
program would not have reached the hundreds of thousands of
children in the Sunshine State who have enjoyed their
summers of books, reading, and programs over the years.
We encourage you and your staff to participate fully in
this year's Silver Anniversary celebration. Together we can
continue to give joy to the state's young people and work
toward accomplishing our shared goals of eliminating
illiteracy and developing life-long library users.
(Cordially,

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
As with any endeavor that has wide impact, many people are responsible for the
success of Florida's vigorous Summer Library Program. For twenty-five years, the State
Library of Florida has nurtured the development of this vital program. This summer we are
celebrating the twenty-fifth anniversary of the program. A special thank you goes to Dr.
William F. Summers, formerly State Librarian, and Mary Jane Anderson, formerly Youth
Services Consultant. It is under their direction that this program originated. Today we
continue the tradition established twenty-five years ago of fostering the development, growth,
and enhancement of library service to youth that the Summer Library Program provides.
Special thanks go to all of you in the field who keep this program vital and growing.
The statewide Summer Library Program Planning Committee is composed of nine
youth librarians representing diverse backgrounds and client groups. The members of the
1993 Planning Committee are:
Judy Bar-Shimon, formerly Assistant Youth Services Coordinator, Palm Beach
County Public Library
Alma Brown, Senior Children's Librarian, Jacksonville Public Libraries
Eugenia Campos, formerly Coordinator, Children's and Young Adult Services,
Charlotte-Glades Library System
Jana Fine, Youth Services Librarian, Clearwater Public Library
Melinda Munger, Children's Outreach Services, Miami-Dade Public Library
Barbara Neaton, Youth Services Librarian, Brevard County Library System
Vickie Pagliai, Youth Services Coordinator, Suwannee River Regional Library
Sandra Pierce, Head of Children's Department, Northwest Regional Library System
Laurel Solomon, Programming Librarian, Hernando County Library System
This group chose the theme, advised on materials and administration, and contributed in
large part to this manual. These dedicated librarians are responsible for the direction the
program takes each year. Participatory planning is one of the outstanding components of
Florida's program.
In addition to the members of the Summer Library Program Planning Committee,
other librarians have contributed time, energy, and effort in assisting with the preparation of
this year's manual. They are:
Cindy Birden, Children's Librarian, West Florida Regional Library (^^
;
Meryll Cohen, Children's Librarian, Broward County Division of Libraries
Karen Jensen, Children's Librarian, Monroe County Public Library System
Mary Ann Sumner,Children's Librarian, Florida Division of Blind Services, Bureau
of Braille and Talking Book Services
Hank Taylor, Children's Librarian, Leon County Public Library.
In addition to these individuals, countless other librarians assisted in gathering
materials and sharing in the development of ideas.
This year we are extremely fortunate to have Jan Irving, author, consultant, and youth
program specialist, as the presenter at the regional staff training workshops for the Summer
We
Library Program. hope that you will be able to join us for one of the six workshops that
We
are being staged during the month of February 1993. thank Jan for her input and advice
on this manual and accommodating a statewide tour.
The Florida Library Association and its management company. Crow Segal,
administers the Library Services and Construction Act grant that funds this Program. Special
thanks go to Maijorie Stealey, Executive Secretary of FLA, and all the office staff for their
patience and assistance on the project.
State Library staff assist in numerous ways on this project. The consultant and
support staff in the Bureau of Library Development provide input and help without which the x
success of this task would not be possible. Staff from the Audio Visual Section of the State
Library worked to develop appropriate film listings for inclusion in this manual. Without
fail, everyone pitched in to guarantee success.
The energy and enthusiasm that each of Florida's youth librarians brings to this
venture—from the smallest to the largest library, in whatever setting from rural to urban-
makes for the incredible variety and success we call the Florida Summer Library Program.
The State Library of Florida thanks each of you for your continued efforts to provide
the best public library service to the youth of our state.
