Katie Anderson, Library Development Services * Youth Services Consultant * Oregon Center for the Book Coordinator * Oregon State Library, 250 Winter St. NE, Salem, OR 97301 katie.anderson at state.or.us, 503-378-2528 From: Nancy Hankins [mailto:nancy at beautifulamericapub.com] Sent: Thursday, June 11, 2009 10:37 AM To: 'Katie Anderson' Subject: Silverton's Bobbie Silverton's Bobbie, His Amazing Journey-the True Story. (http://www.beautifulamericapub.com/special.html) Bobbie was a farm collie in Silverton, Oregon that in 1924 was on a cross-country car trip with his owners and was accidentally lost during a stop in Indiana. Over the following six months Bobbie made his own way back to Oregon traveling over 2.500 miles on paws during one of the hardest winters on record. Upon his return to Oregon, exhausted and bedraggled, Bobbie became instantly world famous and was even listed in Guinness Book of World Records and Ripley's Believe It or Not. In Judith's book, verification of this incredible feat is seen through excerpts of letters from those kind people on his route who, once they saw the newspaper publicity, remembered giving this poor tired dog a meal and place to sleep, only to see him leave the next morning with an apparent purpose. In its third printing, Bobbie continues to sell well throughout Oregon. It is a unique little piece of Oregon's history and a story that goes straight to the heart of all who read it-dog lovers and history buffs alike. I have been told that grandmothers love to read it to their grandchildren. There is a bronze bust of Bobbie in the Oregon Garden, and Judith was instrumental in raising the donations to fund this wonderful tribute to Bobbie. Silverton's Bobbie (ISBN 0898027705) retails for just $9.95 in hard cover. We offer a library discount of 25% ($7.45 cost, plus $2.50 postage, $9.95 total). Copies may be purchased directly from Beautiful America Publishing Co, PO Box 244, Woodburn, OR 97071 (503-982-4616, fax 503-982-2825, or e-mail nancy at beautifulamericapub.com) This message, and any documents, files or messages attached to it, may contain confidential information that is privileged, or prohibited from disclosure under confidentiality agreement or applicable law.

I was lucky enough to grow up in a household that was literally covered with Harper prints, and the effect can not only be seen in my children's collection, but in my personal artwork as well. There's an ABC, 123, and coloring book currently available. So, sorry if endorsements are taboo here, but I feel very strongly that these books should be in every library's Children's collection. Have a great weekend everybody, and good luck with all of your individual Summer Reading Programs. Kind regards, -- Patrick L. Goodman Youth Services Coordinator Jefferson Co.

(They are FREE!) To download and print certificates on demand, go to: http://www.oregon.gov/OSL/LD/youthsvcs/oregon.srp.certificate.shtml To order hard copies while supplies last, contact Mary Mayberry, mary.l.mayberry at state.or.us Include your full name, shipping address, and quantity needed in English and Spanish Be Creative @ your library These certificates are for children and teens (0-18 years old) who complete your library's summer reading program or read/listened to 10 books between May 15th and September 15th. Students may receive a certificate when they submit a list of the 10 books to their librarian, teacher, or reading specialist. Lists must be signed by the parent/guardian/childcare provider. Libraries are not required to keep these lists, but may want to track how many are submitted to include in their summer reading statistics and on the summer reading survey put out by OLA's Children Services Division every Fall. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This is the third year the Oregon Department of Education, Oregon State Library, and Oregon Library Association have coordinated their efforts to provide a joint Oregon Summer Reading Certificate with funding from the Oregon Education Association. This effort signifies the commitment of schools and libraries to the education of Oregon's youth. In the past, the Oregon Department of Education (ODE) awarded Summer Reading Certificates for students who read ten books over the summer. The certificates were distributed via education service districts, school librarians, and public libraries. Nothing has changed about this program, except for the certificate. The certificate now has the national Collaborative Summer Library Program artwork on it and is signed by the State Librarian, Jim Scheppke, and the State Superintendent of Public Instruction, Susan Castillo. Public libraries will award Oregon Summer Reading Certificates to children and teens who complete their library summer reading program or who provide a list of the ten books they read over the summer. Libraries are not required to keep records of the names of participating children nor the lists of books they read. Educators may request the Oregon Department of Education to send certificates for their classroom or school. Students may also receive certificates by mailing their list of completed books signed by a parent, guardian, or teacher and including a return address to Stephanie Parks, Oregon Department of Education, 255 Capitol St. NE, Salem, OR 97310. If you have any questions, contact Katie Anderson, katie.anderson at state.or.us, 503-278-2528 or Julie Anderson, Julie.Anderson at state.or.us, 503-947-5613.
