The summer reading program will be mostly funded by the Friends of the Library and outside sponsors, however, the library will contribute some funding towards the programing and supplies.  Sponsors would range from car dealerships to bookstores to restaurants to play places for kids.  These places would be interested in sponsoring because its for a good cause plus it also promotes their company.  Some of the places might even be willing to donate gift certificates as prizes which would help generate business for them.

Besides staff, the summer reading program will use teen volunteers that are reliable to help with programs, giving out prizes and signing children up online.
