I just received the following email about the El d?a de los ni?os/El d?a de los libros (Children's Day/Book Day) 2010. Dia is an annual celebration for children, families, books, and reading. What types of events do libraries have to celebrate Dia? I recently heard from a librarian who is planning 6 stations, one for each early literacy skill, and providing 'passports' for kids to take around to each station. When they complete an activity they receive a stamp in their passport. Children who travel to all 6 stations get a free book! Dia events don't have to be this grand, some are just a special storytime with a craft and refreshments. Libraries, if you already have a Dia celebration planned, please register your event online at: http://cs.ala.org/websurvey/alsc/dia/. When you register, your event will be added to the interactive map the public can access to locate events. If you haven't planned your celebration and are looking for ideas and resources, you can download a list of books and links to websites here http://tiny.cc/ydabl. Healthy Start, you can use this interactive map to find local events: http://cs.ala.org/websurvey/alsc/dia/map.cfm. This might be a fun library event to take your families to or encourage them to attend. I see that 3 Oregon libraries are already registered! Keep checking back to as we get closer to Dia because more libraries will be registering their events in the coming weeks. Or call your local library to find out if they are celebrating Dia, and what they are doing. Here is a link to the online Oregon Library Directory where you can find phone numbers, addresses, and a link to Google maps for directions to your local library: http://www.oregonauthors.org/libraries/.

For the past 3 years the State Library and Department of Education have provided Oregon Summer Reading Certificates to libraries in Oregon. In the past, I took three or four mock-up certificates to the Spring OLA Children Services Division meeting at which librarians voted to select the one mock-up certificate they wanted to be printed and made available to download. Two things have changed this year: 1) voting will take place via email, allowing both public and school librarians to vote, and 2) this year the State will provide both a children's Make a Splash and a teen Make Waves certificate! To view the 2010 mock-ups online: http://www.oregon.gov/OSL/LD/youthsvcs/oregon.srp.certificate.shtml#VOTE_for_the_2010_Certificates If this link does not work, try to cut and paste it in your browser. To vote: Please send an email with the subject heading ?Oregon Summer Reading Certificate? to Katie Anderson (katie.anderson at state.or.us) by the end of the day April 18, 2010. The body of your email should include the title of one children?s mock-up and one teen mock-up you would like printed and made available this summer. The winning certificates will be announced the week of April 19- 23, 2010 via an email sent out on the kids-lib, OYAN, and OASL listservs. The announcement email will also include link and URL for online ordering of hard copies of the the certificates. Please start thinking now about how many children's certificates in English and Spanish, and how many teen certificates in English and Spanish you will need so you are prepared when online ordering is available later this month. Remember, these certificates are FREE! 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. Please let me know if you have any questions.

The Tech-Savvy Booktalker: A Guide for 21st-Century Educators. Westport, CT: Libraries Unlimited, 2009. ISBN: 978-1-59158-637-1 To these authors, booktalking extends well beyond the traditional idea of getting in front of an audience with books in hand and short summaries or enticements on the lips. They teach how to incorporate audio and video, and how to use technology to spice up text-driven "talks." The publisher notes this book is for grades 6 to 12, but I think younger students can apply many of these concepts, and certainly librarians and teachers in elementary schools can. Van Orden, Phyllis J., and Sunny Strong. Children's Books: A Practical Guide to Selection. New York: Neal-Schuman, 2007.

What factors do you consider when deciding whether or not to order a certain nonfiction title? This book offers ways to make selection a more concrete process.

I just learned about the following grant opportunity. Prime Time Family Reading Time is an intensive literacy program, requiring quite a commitment. However, Oregon libraries that have participated in Prime Time Family Reading Time have found it extremely valuable, and it was very well-received in their communities. Family Literacy Program Grants Available Prime Time Family Reading Time: National Expansion Grant National Endowment for the Humanitieshttp://www.leh.org/html/primetime_neh_expansion.html Would you like to help reinforce the role of the family in educating children? Would you like to help enable parents/guardians and children to bond around the act of reading and learning together? Would you like to help foster expectations for high academic achievement for children in low-literacy, low-income and/or non-English speaking families and to encourage their parents/guardians to enter or continue their own educational or ESL program? Would you like to help transform families into active library users and lifelong learners? If you answered "YES" to any of the questions above, PRIME TIME FAMILY READING TIMER and its 2010 - 2011 phase of national expansion program grants may be ideal for your agency.

Children and teens may also 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. The 2010 Summer Reading Program theme is water, the children's slogan is " Make a Splash--READ!", and the teen slogan is "Make Waves @ your library". The children's summer reading art designed by Henry Cole and teen art by Ursula Vernon is used on thess 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 generous donation from the Oregon Education Association.

For the past 3 years the State Library and Department of Education have provided Oregon Summer Reading Certificates to libraries in Oregon. In the past, I took three or four mock-up certificates to the Spring OLA Children Services Division meeting at which librarians voted to select the one mock-up certificate they wanted to be printed and made available to download. Two things have changed this year: 1) voting will take place via email, allowing both public and school librarians to vote, and 2) this year the State will provide both a children's Make a Splash and a teen Make Waves certificate! To view the 2010 mock-ups online: http://www.oregon.gov/OSL/LD/youthsvcs/oregon.srp.certificate.shtml#VOTE_for_the_2010_Certificates If this link does not work, try to cut and paste it in your browser. To vote: Please send an email with the subject heading "Oregon Summer Reading Certificate" to Katie Anderson (katie.anderson at state.or.us) by the end of the day April 18, 2010. The body of your email should include the title of one children's mock-up and one teen mock-up you would like printed and made available this summer. The winning certificates will be announced the week of April 19- 23, 2010 via an email sent out on the kids-lib, OYAN, and OASL listservs. The announcement email will also include link and URL for online ordering of hard copies of the the certificates. Please start thinking now about how many children's certificates in English and Spanish, and how many teen certificates in English and Spanish you will need so you are prepared when online ordering is available later this month. Remember, these certificates are FREE! 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. Please let me know if you have any questions.

I have attached both a Publisher and PDF file, so remember to change the info to fit your library. Now on to making women cry... At the pinnacle of an extremely rotten week, I was approached by a woman from the Early Childhood Education Center in Warm Springs Reservation who asked if I could be of any help in trying to collect enough books for 120 children to take home for their very own. I had recently done my quarterly weed, so I knew that I had a good number of fair to low-quality books in relatively fair condition to give to them. Upon delivery, I was greeted with a banner stretching across the ECE building's entrance that read, "Thank you, Patrick." What a rush it was to have this kind of appreciation shown to a librarian! Unfortunately, all I could focus on was the quality of the books I had just delivered. But as I've stated earlier, it was a really rotten week. About two days later, I was sorting through the mess that my library lovingly calls the 'youth services archives' in the basement of our annex, when I stumbled upon a box full of pristine books. Underneath that box was another, and another. I would have thought that this was some kind of a set-up if I hadn't found over 700 t-shirts from SRP's of yore in the same exact area a month beforehand. So with the t-shirts in mind, I began digging further into the mounds of boxes, discovering 6 more boxes full of 'excellent condition' books marked "give-aways," including a horde of baby books from a long-dead grant program- a program much like the one I've recently been developing and writing grants for. Too excited to keep it to myself, I called the woman- lets call her Mary- to tell her the good news. I reckoned anyone who'd go out of their way to hang a banner for a librarian was more than worthy of this literary cache. And this is how the conversation went... Me: "Hey Mary, did you receive the books that I brought?" mary: (a bit subdued) "Yes, we did. Thank you very much." Me: "Great, great. Well, what would you say if I told you I could bring you another 60 or so brand new, high quality books to give to your kids?" Mary: "Well...well, I..." Me: "And how about some free t-shirts? What would you say to 120 free t-shirts for the kids?" Mary: (begins to cry) "Well, Patrick. I'd say that you have a new best friend." The whole experience moved me so much, that I did the exact same thing for the festivities held here in Madras last weekend. I should note that I had my staff stuff each book with an Early Literacy leaflet, and had nearly 25 more people than average attend this week's morning storytimes; 8 more for evenings. I know it sounds like a whole lot of boasting, but this is one of those times when you get instant feedback for the job you do as a librarian, and I just had to share. So stop listening to the stormcrows who cackle on about the death of libraries. As my wise old Irish nan used to say, "Keep a stiff upper lip, lad, and put the kettle on for some tea when you get the chance." -- Patrick L. Goodman Youth Services Coordinator Jefferson Co.

I recently received the following email about a book that may be a good fit for your summer reading program. This is not an endorsement, please review your selection policy to make sure it is appropriate for you library. 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: Dan Borengasser [mailto:dborengasser at cox.net] Sent: Wednesday, March 17, 2010 10:34 AM To: Katie Anderson Subject: "Whiskers' Pond" & Make a Splash Dear Katie Anderson, I have written a children's book (3rd - 7th grade level) titled WHISKERS' POND, which several regional children's librarians think might be ideal for the "Make a Splash" program this year. A brief synopsis of WHISKERS' POND: The inhabitants of a forest pond begin to mysteriously disappear. The pond elder, a reclusive old catfish named Grumpeter, sends a young frog named Mort on a journey to discover the pond's deadly secret. Three other frogs join Mort on this long and dangerous quest. They eventually find out what the threat to the pond is - a villain so powerful that no single creature can defeat it. Mort tries to unite the animals of the pond to stop the menace, but fails. Finally Mort and a small band of his friends vow to fight the intruder on their own. A fierce battle ensues, and all seems lost - until the arrival of an unexpected hero. I've made presentations in area bookstores and to young readers through regional libraries, with more planned for this summer. You can read an excerpt from the book at www.danborengasser.com. The book has been well received: "It is hands down one of the best children's books that I have ever encountered." - Dr. Don Kephart, retired biology teacher from Poly High School, Long Beach, CA "This is a great discussion book for ages 8 - adult on the value of diversity. Creatures that are usually enemies must band together to fight a deadly foe. Recommended for book club groups." - Shirley Fetherolf, Public School Program Advisor, Arkansas Department of Education, Little Rock, AR "Dan has created a group of characters who are fun, funny, charming and rightly named to fit their personalities." - Lolly Greenwood, Manager, Youth Services, Fayetteville Public Library, Fayetteville, AR "Mort's story is a classic adventure tale of a hero who goes on a quest and returns victorious to save his pond." - Sue Ann Pekel, Children's Librarian, Bentonville Public Library, Bentonville, AR "Whiskers' Pond is a wonderful and visual story for children and adults. All ages should read this book!" - Myra Moran, Trolley Line Books, Rogers, AR I have a limited number of copies that I'd be glad to provide at no cost to libraries for possible inclusion in their "Make a Splash" program this year. All they would have to do is email me to tell me that they're interested.
