How does your library provide outreach services to childcare centers? Do you provide storytimes, books, etc.? Do you provide this service for a pre-determined length of time, or open-ended? Also, if you go into homes, do you have requirements, or do you provide service for any kind of childcare? Thank you for taking the time, Korie Jones Buerkle Children's Librarian/ Circulation Supervisor Newberg Public Library 503 538 READ 503 554 7734 www.newberglibrary.org From anderson_katie at oslmac.osl.state.or.us Thu Nov 5 08:50:41 2009 From: anderson_katie at oslmac.osl.state.or.us (Katie Anderson) Date: Thu, 5 Nov 2009 08:50:41 -0800 Subject: [kids-lib] Family Place Libraries Symposium in Portland In-Reply-To: <7519DE304EC97549A7C9EAE2A589385A01FACA6D@njord.valhalla.mcpl.lib.ny.us> Message-ID: Family Place LibrariesT invites you to learn more about what public librarians can do to foster early literacy and learning within their own libraries and communities. This free bi-annual symposium brings together public librarians from around the nation to hear presentations from specialists in children's literature, early literacy, child development, and family support, and provides a forum for librarians to network and learn from one another.

Keller, AIA, is a partner with the multi-disciplined architectural/engineering firm VITETTA, based in Philadelphia. Mr. Keller created the VITETTA Library Design Studio in 1996. Since then, he has provided the design vision and project direction for several significant American library systems including the Free Library of Philadelphia, San Antonio Public Library, TX, Broward County Public Library, FL and Lexington Public Library, KY. Mr. Keller has also designed Libraries in South America and the Middle East and has forged international library design collaborations with Schmidt Hammer Lassen of Denmark and Foster and Partners of London. Mr. Keller promotes functional design that supports the mission of library service and embraces architectural and interior design excellence.

Many of you picked up your copy of the 2010 Summer Reading Manual at the Children Services Meeting on Saturday. Over the course of November, Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP) members who were unable to attend the meeting will be receiving your manual via the Orbis Cascade Courier or traditional shipping such as UPS or USPS. There are two important things to know: As soon as you receive your manual, please check to make sure the CDs work properly on your computer. They are actually DVDs and CSLP realized too late that some people do not have the capability to open DVDs on their computer. If you can't open the DVDs you receive, please email me at katie.anderson at state.or.us. I will be placing an order for CDs in December. Please contact me if you haven't received your 2010 summer reading manual by Monday, December 7th. CSLP membership and summer reading manuals for Oregon public, volunteer, and tribal libraries is paid for by Institute of Museum and Library Services through the Library Services and Technology Act, administered by the Oregon State Library. OLA's Children's Services Division and Oregon Young Adult Network distribute the manuals, provide professional development on summer reading programs, and participate in CSLP committees to support Oregon's statewide summer reading program.

Reading for Healthy Families (RFHF) early literacy training is being offered to children's library staff who work in Coos and Curry counties at Coos Bay Public Library December 1-2.

RFHF participants commit to attending 2 two-day trainings, the first will be in December and the second will be in March. At the first training participants receive intensive training in Every Child Ready to Read and a resource kits containing the curriculum, 4 early literacy DVDs, 4 early literacy/storytime planning books, travel flannel board and stories, finger puppets, nursery rhyme CD, nursery rhyme booklet, 4 storytime books, and 15 giveaway books. Between the 2 two-day trainings, participants commit to providing early literacy education to 5 families. At the second training, participants get a review in Every Child Ready to Read, and additional training in related topics such as bilingual language development, media literacy, and working with children with special needs such as autism. After the second training, participants commit to providing early literacy education to 10 more families. RFHF is not only a training in the early literacy curriculum Every Child Ready to Read @ your library, it is a commitment to providing early literacy education to families in your local community. Each participating library and Healthy Start program will receive $200 for outreach to either bring Healthy Start families to the library, or bring library staff out to the families. RFHF trainings are localized to provide libraries and Healthy Start programs in the same community an opportunity to get to know each other better, learn more about the services each organization provides for local families, and to start developing partnerships to provide early literacy activities in your own community.

Hopefully you have had time to get to know the Gale databases. If so, you might have questions about when to use one over another with students since six databases are specifically designed for K12 learners. Basically, Kids InfoBits stands alone and is geared for K-5. These five databases are geared towards middle and high schoolers: Junior Reference Collection, Discovering Collection, InfoTrac Junior, InfoTrac Student, and Student Resource Center Gold. While each of these five databases stands alone, many are included in other databases. The two attachments explain the relationships and features of the databases aimed at K12. For example, you'll learn that if you just want a limited number of reference sources for middle schoolers, start with Junior Reference Collection. However, if you want that and content from periodicals, use InfoTrac Junior. If a student can manage a large number of results, use Student Resource Center Gold. The information in the attachments can also be found in the teacher content areas of both educator Find Information pages on OSLIS.

This manual is for school libraries and specific to the 2009 theme, however there is a lot of information that you can adapt and share with your local schools this Spring. The manual is available for free at: http://www.nysl.nysed.gov/libdev/summer/slmanual.pdf. Some ideas for using the manual are: Begin activities in your school library related to [SRP theme and slogan] (page 4) This is a list of activities school librarians and teachers can do with their students at the end of the school year to get them excited about the summer reading program. Using ideas from your CSLP summer reading manual, make a list of "Make a Splash--READ!" and "Make Waves at Your Library" activities for teacher, and distribute it to schools. Teachers are especially busy at the end of the school year, providing them with specific activity ideas may be just what they need. This is an especially good idea for those of you working at libraries that lack the resources to do class visits or provide other outreach services to promote summer reading. Parents and caregivers: Six easy ways to get children to read this summer (page 7) This is a great handout you could adapt by adding 2010 CSLP art and your library's information, perhaps add an events calendar or booklist on the back and distribute it to schools. This is another good idea for those of you unable to provide outreach services. Collaborate with your local public library (page 3) When making first contact with a school library you may adapt this page to create a menu of services your library offers, such as library tours or school visits. The school librarian or teacher can then have a visual to look over and decide what works best for them and their students. As we learned at the Fall CSD meeting, schools are on tight schedules so providing options of a couple different ways teachers can partner with you to promote summer reading may get you into more classrooms.
