The Library Support and Development Services Division would like to invite you to visit the Oregon State Library on Friday, June 26, 2015, from 9:30 - 2:00. You will meet with the State Librarian, Library Support and Development Services consultants and Talking Book and Braille Library staff. You will also get a tour of the State Library and there will be plenty of time for staff to answer any questions. If you have other staff that you would like to attend, feel free to bring them! You are welcome to stay for a no-host lunch with the Library Support and Talking Books staff after the tour. Instead of going out to lunch, I will be ordering lunch to be delivered around 12:30 pm. I will be sending options with prices as RSVP's are received. Please let me know if you are interested in attending by 4 p.m. on Friday, June 12, 2015.

If not, please delete this email. No action necessary. If so, but staff addressed the person?s concerns and resolved the issue verbally so it never went through your library?s reconsideration process? please delete this email. No action necessary. If so, and the request went through your library?s reconsideration process and an official decision to retain, relocate, reclassify, restrict, or remove the item was made? please fill out the attached form and submit it to the State Library by July 20, 2015. Please fill out a separate form for each challenged item. Questions? Contact me at katie.anderson at state.or.us or 503-378-2528 Reports may be submitted to Ferol Weyand via: ? Email at ferol.weyand at state.or.us ? Fax at 503-378-6439 ? Regular mail at Oregon State Library, Attn: OIFC, 250 Winter St. NE, Salem, OR 97301 Why does the State Library need information about challenges at libraries? ? To compile the Annual Report on Challenges to Library Material in Oregon, which presents a landscape of censorship in our state. ? To update the Title Index of Challenges in Oregon which teachers, librarians, and booksellers in Oregon use for Banned Books Week displays, activities, discussions, and events. ? To connect librarians currently dealing with a challenge with a librarian who has actually dealt with a similar challenging to provide support and advice?only with permission from both librarians. ? To aid State Library staff in providing consulting services related to challenges to library material. Will my name, library name, or city name be published? ? No identifying information will be published. The State Library stopped publishing identifying information in the Annual Report and Title Index of Challenges in 2010. We already submit this information to ALA?s Office of Intellectual Freedom. Do we have to fill out another form? ? No! The State Library uses the exact same form as ALA so just fill it out once and send a copy to ALA and another copy to the State Library. ? The State Library submits the Annual Report on Challenges to Library Material in Oregon every year so ALA gets the information that way too. For more information about the Oregon Intellectual Freedom Clearinghouse visit our website (http://oregon.gov/OSL/LD/intellectual.shtml) or contact me. Thank you, Katie Anderson PS: This email will also be sent on the libs-or listserv, but it will ask staff to work with their library director to fill out and submit the form.
