Annotation © Book News, Inc., Portland, OR School Library Journal Whether one is a novice or a veteran at creating library-media programs, this well-organized volume will both motivate and educate its readers. The authors discuss effective methods of designing and implementing many types of programs, including those that are individually planned or those that are done in cooperation with the public library or community. They explain how to approach possible types of programs from exhibits to featured speakers and examine how these activities can support and enhance school curricula. The checklist will definitely keep programmers on task and on time. The importance of locating and organizing resources after determining a theme is clearly presented, and the varied possibilities are identified and connected to curriculum content. There is an entire chapter on Internet sites that would support library programming. Twenty library media specialists have contributed brief examples of their successful offerings, and experienced library-media specialists may be familiar with most of them. However, having all of these programs collected in one volume is potentially helpful. Unfortunately, the upbeat descriptions of the projects are accompanied by a limited number of poor-quality photos.-Carol Schene, Taunton Public Schools, MA Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information.
