This manual for the 1993 Iowa Summer Library Program includes programs and activities about spiders and insects, stories from different parts of the world, and activities and materials related to the web of life and the "story spinner" theme. The summer library program presents a comprehensive approach, targeting not only the child who already reads, but those who are not yet reading on their own and for children who have difficulty reading. Program registration and design are handled in different ways in different libraries. Suggestions for planning and promotion are presented and reading logs are provided. The manual also discusses serving children with special needs. Programs, crafts, and games that fit the story spinner theme are suggested. A section lists resources for program planners, and another includes clip art for program use. A bibliography of over 400 books and audio materials is included. (SLD)
