The youth services librarian, Miss Renee is currently planning the library's summer reading program.  Yes it is January, but such a program takes a lot of work.  Miss Renee is currently working on an idea that would involve teens and kids alike in the promoting of the summer program.

Here is her idea.  She would like to create a movie or a commercial that advertises the summer reading program.  A small skit that could be burned to disk and passed out among the schools.  It would provide a backdrop to her elementary school visits and be a way to reach the middle and high school students.  Plust it could be placed on the local cable channel as a promotional video.  It sounds like a great idea.

It will required a lot of work.  And Miss Renee is hoping that teens and kids will want to help. There is the creation of a skit, set, costumes, casting, filming and editing and so much more.
