URL: From reading at librifoundation.org Mon Jan 10 15:29:30 2011 From: reading at librifoundation.org (The Libri Foundation) Date: Mon, 10 Jan 2011 15:29:30 -0800 Subject: [kids-lib] Grant Opportunity for Rural Public Libraries Message-ID: <4D2B965A.7030501@librifoundation.org> FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE January 2011 The Libri Foundation is currently accepting applications for its 2011 BOOKS FOR CHILDREN grants. The Libri Foundation is a nationwide non-profit organization which donates new, quality, hardcover children's books to small, rural public libraries throughout the United States. Since October 1990, the Foundation has donated over $4,600,000 worth of new children's books to more than 3,000 libraries in 49 states, including Alaska and Hawaii. In order to encourage and reward local support of libraries, The Libri Foundation will match any amount of money raised by your local sponsors from $50 to $350 on a 2-to-1 ratio. Thus, a library can receive up to $1,050 worth of new children's books. After a library receives a grant, local sponsors (such as formal or informal Friends groups, civic or social organizations, local businesses, etc.) have four months, or longer if necessary, to raise their matching funds. The librarian of each participating library selects the books her library will receive from a booklist provided by the Foundation. The 700-plus fiction and nonfiction titles on the booklist reflect the very best of children's literature published primarily in the last three years. These titles, which are for children ages 12 and under, are award-winners or have received starred reviews in library, literary, or education journals. The booklist also includes a selection of classic children's titles. Libraries are qualified on an individual basis. In general, county libraries should serve a population under 16,000 and town libraries should serve a population under 10,000 (usually under 5,000). Libraries should be in a rural area, have a limited operating budget, and an active children's department. Please note: Rural is usually considered to be at least 30 miles from a city with a population over 40,000. Town libraries with total operating budgets over $150,000 and county libraries with total operating budgets over $350,000 are rarely given grants. Applications are accepted from independent libraries as well as libraries which are part of a county, regional, or cooperative library system. A school library may apply only if it also serves as the public library (i.e. it is open to the everyone in the community, has some summer hours, and there is no public library in town). A branch library may apply if the community it is in meets the definition of rural. If the branch library receives its funding from its parent institution, then the parent institution's total operating budget, not just the branch library's total operating budget, must meet the budget guidelines. Previous BOOKS FOR CHILDREN grant recipients are eligible to apply for another grant three years after the receipt of their last grant. Libraries that do not fulfill all grant requirements, including the final report, may not apply for another grant. Application deadlines for 2011 are: (postmarked by) January 23rd, and April 15th. Grants are awarded January 31st and April 30th. The names of grant recipients will be posted on the Foundation's website a few days after grants are awarded. Acceptance packets are usually mailed 14-18 days after grants are awarded. If you want your books in time for your summer reading program, please apply for a January grant. April grant recipients may not receive their books until after most summer reading programs begin. Please DO NOT waste money sending your application by Express Mail. The application deadline is based on postmark date, not arrival date. Application guidelines and forms may be downloaded from the Foundation's website at: www.librifoundation.org.

Science fair season is fast approaching for many students. This is a friendly reminder that the Gale databases have background information on many science topics and include a few books specifically about science experiments. If you are prompted to log in when you click on Gale bookmarks below, use your district-wide Gale user name and password. If the login page only provides one text box, enter the password instead of the user name. [cid:image001.jpg at 01CBB7D3.56751FD0] Kids InfoBits (elementary) I did a search for ?experiments? (no quotes) and found over 400 hits under the subject ?science experiments (education)? (no quotes). There?s an experiment about testing lung capacity (related to singing), an article detailing how a teen designed an experiment to test which appeals more to butterflies when seeking food: scent or color, a quiz to help students decide which science subject might be most interesting to investigate further, and much more. There were also good resources under the subject ?scientific method? (no quotes). Search results: http://tinygaleurl.com?fmiqjmx [cid:image002.jpg at 01CBB7D3.56751FD0] Student Resources in Context (middle & high school; possibly upper elementary) Besides being able to search for many science topics and subjects, users can limit their search to the contents of the book, Experiment Central, which contains ideas for science experiments and related background information. For a quick way to access all available experiments, try this: Go to the Secondary Student Find Information page on OSLIS (http://secondary.oslis.org/find-information). Click on the icon for Student Resources in Context. (Log in if prompted to do so.) Click on Advanced Search found just under the search box in the top right corner. Scroll to the box called Document Type, click on Experiment Activity, click on Add, and click on Search. Click on Reference (97) under the heading Everything in the left column for a list of 97 hits. (Each result details 2 related experiments.) Search results: http://tinygaleurl.com?cnmb5zm [cid:image003.jpg at 01CBB7D3.56751FD0] Gale Virtual Reference Library (target audience varies) Several of the eBooks are about science or specifically about science experiments. This is a sampling of titles with the target audience indicated: Encyclopedia of Science, Technology, and Ethics (middle & high school) Environmental Science Experiments (middle & high school) Forensic Science Experiments (middle & high school) Grzimek's Student Animal Life Resource (upper elementary) U*X*L Encyclopedia of Biomes (middle & high school; possibly upper elementary) U*X*L Encyclopedia of Weather and Natural Disasters (middle & high school; possibly upper elementary) [cid:image005.jpg at 01CBB7D4.7C6CDC90] Opposing Viewpoints in Context (middle and high school) This is a good source for background information related to controversies or debates in science. A search for ?scientific method? (no quotes) yielded such results as an article about misleading nutrition labels, arguments in defense of forensic science, and a website link leading to the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry (CSI), ?an organization dedicated to evaluating ?fringe-science? claims using science-based methodology and critical inquiry.? Of course, you can look up specific topics, too. Search results: http://tinygaleurl.com?0m1hoi8 Access the databases I highlighted above from the relevant skin, or version, of the Find Information page on OSLIS. The elementary skins do not feature Student Resources in Context, Gale Virtual Reference Library, or Opposing Viewpoints. However, recall that users can access a menu of all Gale databases available through our statewide contract by clicking on PowerSearch, which is featured on all Find Information pages. These are just some ways the Gale databases can help students with science fair projects. Please consider sharing this information with appropriate staff in your school or district.

For the first time, the Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP) is sponsoring a teen video contest that will award one winner from each participating state a $250.00 cash prize and their affiliated library $100.00. How cool is that? Videos are to be original creations by teens ages 13-18, and should effectively convey the 2011 summer reading theme "You Are Here" in a 30-60 second PSA. In Oregon, the deadline for contest entries is Tuesday, March 15, 2011. Following that, all submissions will be judged by a panel of Oregon YA library personnel and a winner will be announced on March 25, 2011. The winning video, and those of the other participating states, will be uploaded to CSLP's ?You Are Here? Teen Video Challenge 2011 Winner?s Page, enabling all winning videos to be used on library websites and other Summer Reading promotional tools across the country. Please take a moment to look over the contest information on the OYAN blog: http://oyanpeeps.wordpress.com/2011/01/05/teen-video-challenge-2011/ Here you'll find links to the CSLP contest overview, Oregon specific rules, and necessary forms. Attached to this email also is a 2-sided brochure customized for Oregon that can be used to publicize the contest. And this is where you come in! We are asking you, those who work with teens in your libraries, schools, and communities, to find numerous and creative ways to promote and solicit submissions for this contest. Some suggestions: Print out copies of the brochures, Oregon contest details, and entry forms, and set them up in a prominent display, making them available in your library's teen area Take copies of the brochure to your local middle and high school libraries for display and distribution Collaborate with school art, media, technology, and other relevant teachers to encourage teen participation Investigate local television, videography, graphic design, and other similar businesses or organizations that may have avenues for promoting and/or facilitating teen participation We hope to have a number of submissions from Oregon teens to make for a healthy competition, and we're counting on YOU to help spread the word! Please feel free to direct any questions to me; in addition, if you have any recommendations for improving or enhancing the contest, the submission process, or other aspects, please share! CSLP will be eager, I believe, to get any feedback to aid in future similar projects. Thank you for your support and endorsement of OYAN and CSLP!

Chicago, IL: American Library Association. ISBN: 978-0-8389-8559-5. Each year, the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA) sponsors two national literacy initiatives: Teen Read Week(tm), which encourages teens to read for fun and become regular library users, and Teen Tech Week(tm), which encourages teens to take advantage of the free technology available at libraries. Since 2003, YALSA's award-winning quarterly journal, Young Adult Library Services has offered guidance for librarians planning Teen Read Week and Teen Tech Week events. For the first time, YALSA has compiled the best YALS articles on teen reading and teen information literacy into one volume, Teen Read Week and Teen Tech Week: Tips and Resources for YALSA's Initiatives, launching its new Best of YALS series. Editor Megan Fink, middle school librarian at the Charlotte Country Day School and a former Teen Read Week chair, selected articles to form a manual that will offer guidance to librarians planning their annual events, with advice on best practices, collection development, outreach and marketing, program ideas and more. In addition, YA authors Walter Dean Myers and Cynthia Leitich Smith and Best Teen Read Week contest winners Elizabeth Kahn and Jennifer Vel?squez contributed original content about the importance of these initiatives and how they support teens' information needs, along with an introduction by YALSA past president Judy Nelson. This project was funded by a 2010 Carnegie-Whitney Grant from the American Library Association.

Cedar Mill Community Library ? Douglas County Library System ? Eugene Public Library ? Lake County Library District ? Stayton Public Library. This year as I was reviewing your Final Reports the following projects really stuck out in my mind and I thought they may be of interest to other libraries: Book Art: Cedar Mill Community Library A select number of in-home childcare sites received 4 pictures with instructions and supplies for an age-appropriate art experience based on the stories in the books. Outreach volunteers read the books at the participating childcare sites and children created art corresponding art projects. Examples of the artwork with the children?s comments were displayed at the library. The children were given special invitations to share with families and friends for an ?Opening Night? event at the library. Baby Showers: Lake County Library District and Klamath County Library In partnership with the local Public Health Office and pediatricians, invitations to a baby shower at the libraries were sent to new parents. Local businesses and organizations donated refreshments and baby-related gifts such as bibs, blankets, and toys to giveaway to parents at the baby shower. The libraries, both Reading for Healthy Families participants, had ?a captive audience to spread the early literacy message!? Big Rig Summer Reading Kick-Off: St. Helen?s Public Library ?When families came to see the 17 different rigs, we gave them a voucher for a free hardhat to be redeemed inside the library. The line streamed out the front door of the library and our door count? was double for a typical day! We were able to sign-up participants that had not been in the library before? Other interesting items from your Ready to Read reports: Several libraries described successful partnerships with schools/teachers that brought teen parenting classes (parents with their babies!) to the library, and many libraries reported that circulation of Oregon Battle of the Books titles was very high during the summer reading program. Thank you all for the wonderful library youth services you provide your communities!
