READ ON WISCONSIN

I may be preaching to the choir on this subject, but I wanted to make sure you were aware of READ ON WISCONSIN! This project was started and sponsored by Jessica Doyle, Wisconsin's First Lady. The purpose of the program is to encourage reading and discussion of books among young people. Books are suggested for different age groups so kids from all over the state can talk about a specific book with their peers.

As an extension of the program the South West Library Service has purchased software that makes full size posters. They have been obtaining photos of public figures reading their favorite book and superimposing the image on the software's book related backgrounds. The idea is to show that people you know enjoy reading books.

I understand that the Wisconsin Valley Library Service is also investigating obtaining this software.

Great Idea!
