♦ Make a Splash — Read! Summer Library Program
Radisson Paper Valley Hotel and Children's Museum
Pre-registration required
Fee: $32.00 (includes lunch)
The Summer Library Program (SLP) Preconference will be showcasing 17 presenters who will give librarians program ideas for the 2010 SLP children’s theme, “Make a Splash—Read,” and the teen theme, “Make Waves.” The opening session will be a discussion on the use of prizes during the summer, the pros and cons of using prizes, but also some fresh ideas on what a low cost, safe “prize” can be other than a trinket. The program for the day includes a free tour of the Children’s Museum in Appleton, “A Building for Kids,” including the hands-on Water Room activities. Patti Sinclair, who edits the CSLP manual, will share highlights from the manuals. Representatives from the Wisconsin Historical Society, the Wisconsin Water Library at UW-Madison, the Wisconsin Maritime Museum in Two Rivers and the Heckrodt Wetland Reserve in Menasha will be presenting. In addition, librarians will share their best craft, programming and decorating ideas.
