CHILDREN'S MANUAL CALL FOR IDEAS

Hello everyone,
I am the chair of the Children's Manual Committee. We look forward to having a heroic summer in 2015 but we need your help. Please send all of your super ideas to our new Children's Manual editor, Amanda Struckmeyer. They should be intended for Grades K-4 and families. Any tips on making them inclusive are welcome also. There will be a separate call for ideas for the Early Literacy Manual. Thank you for sharing your creativity nationwide! If you have any questions, please let me know.

Summer 2015 may not be right around the corner, but we're in the process of writing the 2015 Collaborative Summer Library Program children's manual, and we need your ideas!
Our theme is "Every Hero Has a Story," and our working chapter titles are:
*         Community Heroes (helpers in the community, family members)
*         Heroes throughout History (heroes in mythology, tall tales, true stories of historical heroes)
*         Superhero Training Camp (children get the superhero experience as they dress up and act like superheroes)
*         Trusty Sidekicks (focusing on the often overlooked but very important sidekick)
*         Superheroes to the Rescue (superheroes in books, conventional and not-so-conventional superheroes)
We would love your ideas for activities, crafts, books, and music!
We are especially interested in your ideas for:
*         School visits and other ways of promoting the program in your community (a skit or puppet show is always welcome!)
*         Setting the scene: library decorations, bulletin boards, props, etc.
*         Family literacy programs
*         Original puppet plays, especially for one or two puppeteers
*         Outreach ideas for underserved groups
Please respond by September 30, 2013.  Send your ideas to:
