Message-ID: <640435851FD7CB4AB3C4BE0D1963BA241BAFA09B@OSLEXCHANGE.osl.state.or.us.local> Looking for books that support school curriculum and great read-alouds for K-6th Grade? Sadly, these books are becoming even more important for us as public librarians to keep-up with as teacher-librarians are being cut statewide. Check out Oregon teacher-librarian Kathy Otto's blog Teaching With Kids' Books. The thing I appreciate most about Kathy's blog is that she provides brief, clear information about how each title can be used in classrooms/what specific area of the curriculum they support by grade level. Here is the intro from her blog to give a better idea of what you'll find: Connecting K-6 Teachers With Great Books http://www.teachingkidsbooks.com/ My goal is to create a resource for teachers, home schoolers and anyone interested in quality books for children. Each title is one I have carefully evaluated and selected to support curriculum as well as your class read-alouds. Elementary school librarians are losing their jobs nationwide resulting in the loss of this valuable resource for students and teachers. I have 35 years experience working with kids and their books, so you can consider me your personal librarian! New categories and titles will be added weekly. You can submit comments, suggestions and curricular areas for which you need resources. Share books that you have had success with.

HOW DID IT GO? Thank you for participating! 5,205 children and teens were entered in Destinations College Savings between June 1st and September 2nd 2011. This is down 1,495 entries from last year. However, this summer some libraries only offered their patrons online entries and did not distribute any entry forms or other promotional materials. WHAT'S NEXT? Last week fifteen people were selected in a random drawing as potential winners of a $1,000 Oregon College Savings Plan account (three per congressional district). This week those 15 people are being contacted by the Oregon College Savings Plan and forms are being mailed to them. Winners have 60 days to complete their forms and return them to the Oregon College Savings Plan. Upon receipt of the completed paper work, winners will be verified for eligibility. Those eligible we will be confirmed winners and the library (or branch) indicated on their entry form will be contacted. Those not eligible will not be confirmed a winner and there will not be a re-draw to select another, eligible winner. However, the library indicated on the ineligible entry form that was drawn will still receive the $500 grant for their 2012 summer reading program. That means there may be fewer than 15 winning children/teens, but there will be 15 libraries receiving grants. Libraries with confirmed winners will be provided with a sample press release to promote their winner and will receive a $500 grant. Libraries with winners are encouraged to promote their winner as soon as s/he is confirmed. The State Library and Oregon College Savings Plan will put out a press release promoting all the winners statewide after all of them have been confirmed. The press release will also be emailed to you on this listserv to ensure the library community is informed of the winners. Please keep in mind that 60 days from last week means that winners may not be confirmed until November. QUESTIONS? Kathy Griffin at kgriffin at tiaa-cref.org or 503-477-9710 (Oregon College Savings Plan/TIAA-CREF) Katie Anderson at katie.anderson at state.or.us or 503-378-2528 (Oregon State Library) WHAT IS THIS ALL ABOUT? The Oregon College Savings Plan, the Oregon State Library and the Oregon Library Association are partnering together to present a summer reading sweepstakes each summer. The name of the sweepstakes changes every year to reflect the summer reading theme. In 2011 the sweepstakes was called: Destination College Savings. The sweepstakes is designed to encourage Oregon residents to participate in public library summer reading programs while helping families learn more about saving for college. Parents (or guardians and grandparents) were encouraged to enter Destination College Savings when their child participated in the summer reading program at their local library. They entered by completing a short entry form and dropping a postage-paid card in the mail. All entries had to be submitted by September 2, 2011.

Please take a look at the brief survey I have linked below and submit your responses by Tuesday, September 27th. This survey welcomes multiple responders from each library. We know that different people within your libraries are responsible for different parts of the summer reading program and we are interested in hearing from anyone who was involved in planning. So far we've gotten some great feedback from your libraries. Especially helpful are very specific requests, like "Please include more program ideas for small libraries in the program planning manual," rather than simply "More program ideas." Thank you for your time. Your responses have a BIG impact on Oregon's contribution to the national collaborative. You can find the survey here: http://library.state.or.us/services/surveys/survey.php?sid=965 -Lisa All Oregon public, volunteer, and tribal libraries are members of the Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP), and receive a free summer reading manual. To get the most out of your membership, create an account on the CSLP website (http://www.cslpreads.org/) and you will be able to access additional summer reading resources. CSLP membership dues and manual fees are paid for by the State Library with LSTA funds. Summer reading manuals are distributed by OLA's Children's Services Division, and both CSD and OYAN members represent you on CSLP committees and at the CSLP annual meeting.

They are already working on a show that will fit next year's summer reading theme, "Dream Big, Read!", that will include new original songs. Their shows feature music, comedy and ventriloquism, are highly interactive, lively and engaging. They also do a great deal of reading promotion, seamlessly, within their show. If you want to know more, their website is http://beep.8k.com/ and they have many videos on YouTube. I look forward to having them back at Newport Public Library.

Please direct all inquiries about the pen pal club to her: childlib at skowhegan.lib.me.us. Thanks, Jen Jennifer Maurer School Library Consultant Oregon State Library 250 Winter Street NE Salem, OR 97301 503.378.5011 jennifer.maurer at state.or.us OSLIS || www.oslis.org Learn to Research. Research to Learn. Hello fellow librarians! I am a children's librarian from the Skowhegan Free Public Library in Skowhegan, Maine looking to find other children's librarians across the county to help me with a project. I have had an idea to form an old-fashion pen-pal club for kids aged roughly 8-14; but when searching online, I felt like nothing was safe enough, or it wasn't free, or it wasn't quite what I was looking for. So, I thought I would try to create my own. My idea is simple: Search around for a few different libraries, spread across the country, which also have an interest in starting a pen-pal club. We round up a group of kids interested in participating (whether it is 1 or 50!) and have the kids fill out an information sheet with NO last names or home addresses, (keeping it safe!) just hobbies, ages, interests etc. Then all the forms can be mailed/e-mailed back to my library where I can match all the kids with a pen-pal with similar ages and interest from a different state. After that, we can agree to have our pen-pal kids meet at our libraries once a month where they can write/read that month's letter. Then we, the librarians, will collect, and mail (through the post office not e-mail) the letters to the other appropriate libraries. This way, it is safe (no personal addresses or pertinent information is ever swapped) and everyone should write and receive one letter per month. [Deleted] I am really excited and hoping to get at least 5 states to participate. So many kids can't travel and/or don't know the world outside their own little town. I really just want to offer my young patrons a safe way to meet new friends and learn about different people and places. Any feedback/suggestions are welcome and, of course, if you are uninterested in doing this, or just don't have the time or resources, that's okay! Just let me know what you think as soon as possible, so these kids can start writing some letters. My goal is to have this program up and started by the beginning of the new year! Please feel free to e-mail me at childlib at skowhegan.lib.me.us or call me at (207) 474-9072 and chat with me about this idea. Thanks for taking the time to read through my letter. I look forward to hearing from you!
