Who are the customers? What is the setting? How will the program be described? How will the program be funded? Programs fall into two main sections: "The Top Five" and "The Best of the Rest." The second section categorizes the programs under the following headings: "Collaborative Efforts,""Education Support,""Information Services,""Intergenerational,""Reading Promotion,""Staff Development,""Teen Read Week," and "Youth Participation."
