A Note to our Colleaues (. .
, WE AR VERY PLEASED TO PRESENT THE
t "READ TO YOU BUNNY" CAMPAIGN!
The idea for this packet of materials first came to our attention during the 1994 American
Library Association Conference in Miami. Rosemary Wells, the creative force behind the
endeavor, originally designed a poster for display min pediatricians' offices. She felt that
perhaps parents would listen to their children's doctors and that the call for regular read-
aloud sessions would finally be heard and heeded.
Ms Wells graciously extended the right to reproduce the poster and her art to librarians
and others in their outreach efforts The Cornrmnunity Literacy Comraittee of the Children's
Round Table. Texas Library Association, min conjunction with the Texas State Library and
Archives Comrrmssion, saw this as an opportunity for librarians min Texas!
In Spring 1995. the Texas State Library sent multiple copies of the "Read to Your Bunny"
poster, as well as several Byers and information sheets, to every public library in Texas to
assist with their outreach efforts. Although Ms. Wells envisioned the posters being sent to
doctors, libraries were free to distribute and display them wherever parents would best see
and notice them; perhaps area child care centers, grocery stores, or neighborhood health
chlnes Since that original campaign. requests for "Bunny" materials have come from
hbraries, child care centers, hospitals, and other organizations
with staff who understand the importance of reading to
children Although the supply of posters has been exhausted,
the materials min this packet continue to be useful
We designed the flyers min this packet for you to reproduce.
Some are designed for double-sided andlor half-page printing.
The Cornmmuruty Literacy Committee hopes to continue to
provide materials and information that will help you to bring &
books to everyone in your hbrary's service area.
We hope you enjoy the materials and that parents across
Texas wil soon be reading to their bunrues on a regular basis!
