This manual presents materials which were designed for use by librarians in planning for and implementing the 1990 Iowa summer library program, "Silly Dilly Summer." The manual includes the program's planning materials (e.g., the resource list and a planning checklist) and publicity materials for promoting the program. The other sections include a list of points to keep in mind when designing a reading incentive program, decorating and display ideas, a list of program ideas, projects and activities, activity pages, and a bibliography. The bibliography is divided into three parts: (1) picture books and books for younger readers; (2) books for older kids; and (3) professional resources bibliography. Concluding the manual are a list of additional resources, clip art for promoting the program, an index to the manual, and the program's evaluation form. (MAB)
