Dear Reading Colleague,
Each year the partnership between the State Library, Archives and Public Records
and the Arizona Humanities Council grows stronger and benefits reading in
communities throughout the state.
This year our reading program, 2001:A Reading Odyssey, will
encourage youngsters
and adults alike to think beyond what we know, what
we can see and touch, to
what might or could be.
Reading about places yet to visit, cultures yet to encounter, and times
yet to come
helps us to stretch our minds and hearts to make
more room for understanding.
Although education and knowledge are critical to
our well being as individuals and
as a society, it may well be imagination that serves as the key to new knowledge and
to richer lives for us all.
I hope you enjoy this year's theme and explore with us travel literature, science
fiction, fantasy, and other materials that bring different places and cultures
to life
through reading.
Best of luck on your reading odyssey.
Sincerely,
GladysAnn Wells, State Librarian

Dear Friends of the Book:
Can it be only a year since the Arizona Humanities Council and the Arizona State Library, Archives
and Public Records decided to collaborate on "Arizona Reads"? So much has happened in that
short timemore workshops for the Arizona Reading Program, a year-round calendar of
activities, and increased funding for Motheread Arizona, a national literacy program that teaches
reading and parenting skills simultaneously.
For more than twenty-five years, the Arizona Reading Program, one component of Arizona Reads,
has celebrated the joys of reading in libraries across the state. The program will continue to be one
of the most important and innovative tools for introducing families to the library.
This new manual heralds the beginning of a new and enhanced Arizona Reading Programone
that will provide you with manuals and related information sooner, and one that will accommodate
communities that wish to offer children's reading activities during times other than the summer.
Related to this, the Arizona Reading Program will now be conducting several workshops
throughout the state, in order to bring the benefits of the program to more libraries, especially those
in rural communities.
As the Arizona Reading Program grows, I invite you to join the planning committeeso that we
have full representation from all parts of the state and from many different kinds of libraries. This
is truly your program, one we will continue to expand and improve upon with your input.
On behalf of the board of directors and staff of the Arizona Humanities Council, I am very pleased
to join with the Arizona State Library, Archives and Public Records to offer this important and
worthwhile program. We look forward to a continuing relationship with the State Library and with
s we work together to foster an appreciation of books and reading in our state.
you,
ely,
Si

Foreword
Welcome to the Arizona Reading Program manual for 2001! The theme for the coming year is 2001:A
Reading Odyssey, which we hope will inspire reading adventures of all kinds for children of all ages. We
have for you another terrific manual full of programs for preschool children through young adults, as
well as a section for those children with special needs. The Resource Section has also been expanded.
The Arizona Reading Program manual, materials, and workshops are a result of Arizona Reads, the
continuing collaboration between the Arizona State Library, Archives and Public Records and the
Arizona Humanities Council. Arizona Reads also includes Community Book Discussions, now for
young as well as older adults, and Motheread Arizona, a family literacy program now operating in
several locations throughout the state.
We have made some significant changes to the Arizona Reading Program (APR) this year, which we
hope will be seen as improvements to librarians in the field, where the ARP actually happens. These
changes include making the ARP manual and materials available to you in January, in case those of
you in areas with year-round school schedules want to use the program during times other than
summer. You are under no obligation, of course, to use the materials all year long, but we wanted you
to have the option. In any case, we have heard from many of you that earlier is better, regardless, so
you may do your planning as soon as possible.
Since it is the rural library to which the ARP is most critical, we now provide multiple workshops in
locations throughout the state, making them accessible to more librarians. Also, with the smaller
libraries in mind, we have set aside yearly program funding for which you may apply. The forms are
located in the Resource Section of this manual.
Also in the Resource Section are instructions on how each of you can submit materials and listings
for next year's manual. We want to open up the contribution opportunities to everyone, even though
the Arizona Reading Program Committee continues to do a fabulous job; after all, this is your pro-
gram!
Speaking of the committee, members come from all over Arizona, from large metropolitan libraries to
small rural libraries with only a few staff members. If you would like to join these dedicated, dynamic
people in their exciting endeavors, please contact us at the Arizona Reads office.
In this manual, you will find all the creative planning and publicity ideas, activities, crafts, bibliogra-
phies, and other resources you have come to expect from the Arizona Reading Program. We with you
success planning and executing 2001:A Reading Odyssey, and if you have any suggestions or questions,
please do not hesitate to contact the Arizona Reads Coordinator at [phone] x26.
Enjoy!
