This manual is designed to support the summer reading programs of Virginia libraries on the theme, "Explore Your Library. . . For the Fun of It," which offers opportunities for youngsters of all ages to be drawn into the library's domain of discovery, mystery, and adventure. The manual provides resources for programs, activities, crafts, and special events, and includes components for both children and young adults. The sections of the manual and their principal contents are as follows: (1) general information, including an overview and forms for registering students, recording attendance and volunteer participation, and volunteer application forms; (2) publicity, including sample news releases, a letter to parents, and displays; (3) programs and activities, including directions for making props for stories and activities; (4) craft ideas, including directions and, in some cases, templates; (5) word games and mazes based on the explorer theme; (6) solutions to puzzles and games; and (7) resources for materials and a bibliography of books on story-telling, art activities for youngsters, and other topics. A three-page form for local librarians to use in evaluating the program and reporting statistics is also included. (KRN)
