Someone asked me to report on the replies to my query.
A couple people suggested things like: balloons, lemonade (Be cool
this summer at the library), a storyteller or magician for opening program.
If you have a monthly family Shabbat service where lots of kids
attend, use the May or June service to start the reading program,
have the library open before and after services that evening, and use
the Sept. family service to honor the summer's participants.
We don't have that kind of service at my temple, so I'm still
working on my own plans to make this special program. Meantime,
here's a website that some may be intereted in, if you are starting
from scratch.
