- Your Library--Greatest Show of All! Activity Manual. Jackson, Mary, Ed. Childhood Interests Childrens Art Childrens Games Childrens Literature Elementary Education Games Library Public Services Picture Books Play Program Development Public Libraries Puppetry Reading Aloud to Others Reading Materials Recreational Reading Story Telling Summer Programs Intended as a companion volume for librarians planning a children's summer reading program, this activity manual provides ideas for games, puzzles, puppet shows, story reading, and more, all based on the theme of "Circus Summer." The manual suggests ways to promote the program, such as visits to schools, and provides directions for registering children. A "Storytime" section gives suggestions for particular books to read aloud, and includes circus-related cutouts to dramatize the books. The program section gives suggestions for circus-related activities such as sing-alongs, followed by a display section that shows ways to decorate the library to give it a circus atmosphere. Sections on games and puzzles, crafts, prizes, and clowns are followed by a section with activities for older children, and a section suggesting ways in which teenaged volunteers can help with the younger children. Lists of resources for librarians are included. (JC)
