Message-ID: <94DD37F0A1DC734096E7762868418AD5026DDBFA@WCCLSWEBSTER.wccls.lib.or.us> Hi everybody! Please join us for the annual Children Services Division (of OLA) Fall Workshop! Here is the link for registration: https://web.memberclicks.com/mc/quickForm/viewForm.do?orgId=ola&formId=6 6348 The Workshop is taking place at the Beaverton City Library on Saturday November 7th. There is a $20 registration fee, which gets you morning coffee, a delicious lunch, and snacks! All in all, it promises to be a great time. We're mixing things up a little this go-around, focusing on the school-age audience. With Reading for Healthy Families kicking into full-swing and energizing the early literacy scene around the State, we thought it might be a good opportunity to spend some time with the kids as they grow up. Nancy Sullivan, founding member of Fund Our Future Oregon (a local group dedicated to creating strong school libraries for every child in Oregon), will be presenting on School & Public Library Collaborations. This is your chance to get the inside scoop on how to best form partnerships with your school library counterparts! Get ready to make the dream a reality! Last year we shared storytime ideas. This year, we're sharing school-age program ideas. Send me your basic plan or write-up and I will work everything into a nice & neat handout. 2010 Summer Reading Club manuals will be distributed after the morning workshop. And we will be hosting our annual Silent Auction (bring something fun to auction off & come prepared with cash or check to buy, buy, buy.. watch out for the white elephant!) I can't wait to see everybody! Email me with any questions. Bye!

Sorry, I usually clarify that. I always use cardstock, which allows for a more sturdy bookmark. If you can download the publisher file, all you have to do is copy, paste, and resize your own library's logo/website in place of ours. Feel free to make any other changes you'd like, too. For all those who use Su's pdf file, I reckon you can accomplish the above step by literally cutting and pasting your library's information into the appropriate places, then photocopying the finished product. My professors used to speak of a bygone age where this actually occured, but they were old and Australian, so who knows if what they said was true:D Anyway, I have many more groups of bookmarks if anyone's interested. Have a good Banned Book week everybody.

One of the 18 was removed from the collection because a reconsideration committee reviewed the material and found that it contains inaccurate factual information. The 2009 Annual Report only includes challenges that are voluntarily reported to OIFC. A few of the high-profile challenges that occurred last year are not included because they were not reported to OIFC. Many people may not realize that book banning is not a thing from the past or that attempts to ban books are made every year right here in Oregon. This is a valuable educational opportunity to discuss the nature of the First Amendment-just as we have a right to access these materials in our libraries, we have a right to question whether they are appropriate to include in public collections. Why might someone find these materials inappropriate? Why should they remain in the collection? Is labeling a book an effective way to inform people about content that may not be appropriate for everyone or is it a form of censorship? How would you review materials and conduct a challenge hearing during the reconsideration process? This year there were a few high-profile challenges in Oregon, what would you do if the media contacted you about a challenge in your library? Why is a collection development policy the most important line of defense when library materials are challenged? Does your library have a policy or established procedure for people to challenge material? You can find resources that may help you answer these questions at: http://www.oregon.gov/OSL/LD/intellectual.shtml About the OIFC Annual Report Every year the Oregon Intellectual Freedom Clearinghouse (OIFC) publishes a report on challenges to all types of library materials in Oregon. This report provides a landscape of censorship activity in Oregon, and is submitted to ALA's Office of Intellectual Freedom to be included in their report on censorship activity in the United States. The Annual Report is also used by librarians and teachers to help them develop activities for Banned Books Week. The Annual Report is based on challenge reports OIFC receives from all types of Oregon libraries (school, academic, and public). All local libraries are encouraged to report challenges to materials on a voluntary basis. OIFC does not publish names of people, organizations, libraries, and towns identified in challenge reports confidential. I will be compiling the 2010 Annual Report in August 2010 . Please submit a separate challenge report for each formal challenge to library materials that occur at your library between July 1, 2009 and June 30, 2010 . Reports may be submitted as the are resolved or altogether in July 2010 . This information is complied to assist Oregon libraries currently facing a challenge as well as providing information that will help you plan Banned Books Week activities. The Annual Report will tell you what books were challenged in Oregon libraries the previous year. The more libraries reporting challenges to OIFC the better OIFC can help you!
