[Katie Anderson]

*Please excuse the cross-posting

The results are in (see below for details)! Attached is a mock-up of the 2009 Oregon Summer Reading Certificate.  I will take this mock-up to the State printing office next week where a graphic designer will polish it up for us, and then print hard copies.  We are now taking pre-orders to better estimate how many hard copies to print.  Please complete this survey  (http://library.state.or.us/services/surveys/survey.php?sid=475) to let us know how many hard copies you need and where to send them.  Remember, these are FREE!

Children and teens may get certificates at their public library by completing the library's summer reading program or providing the library with a list of the 10 books they read.  Teachers, reading specialists, and school librarians may present Oregon Summer Reading certificates to students who read or listen to 10 books over the summer.  

The 2009 Summer Reading Program theme is fine arts. The  children's slogan is "Be Creative @ your library"  and the teens slogan is "Express Yourself @ your library".   The summer reading art designed by David Catrow is used on this certificate with permission through Oregon public libraries' memberships to the Collaborative Summer Library Program.  The Oregon Summer Reading Certificates are made available to libraries, schools, and teachers at no cost thanks to a collaboration between the Oregon State Library, Oregon Department of Education, and Oregon Library Association and is funded by a donation from the Oregon Education Association.

Hello!  It is time to vote on the 2009 Oregon Summer Reading Certificate.

You must vote by the end of the day Sunday, April 26th.

In 2007 the Oregon Department of Education, Oregon State Library, and Oregon Library Association coordinated their efforts to create a joint Oregon Summer Reading Certificate with funding from the Oregon Education Association. The joint certificate has the national Collaborative Summer Library Program artwork on it and is signed by the State Librarian and the State Superintendent of Public Instruction. This effort signifies the commitment of schools and libraries to the education of Oregon's youth.
