IMLS National Leadership Grant (NLG) applications are due February 1, 2012. There are several changes to the NLG program this year. Most importantly, they are encouraging eligible organizations to apply for grants that fund projects to support the Campaign for Grade Level Reading. The Campaign has identified 4 issues that impact grade level reading: school readiness, summer learning loss, chronic absences, and parent engagement. Organizations applying for a NLG should develop projects that address one or more of these 4 issues. NLG applicants are required to have community partners. Organizations can apply for up to $250,000. Oregon public and school libraries are already doing a lot to address these issues. This may be a great opportunity for your community to fund a project, activity, or idea you already have in mind or had to put on the back-burner due to lack of funding.

Technology and Literacy: 21st Century Library Programming for Children & Teens. Chicago: ALA, 2012. 027.625 Nelso ISBN 978-0-8389-1108-2 Technology may not be a magic wand, but innovative technology programming can genuinely help children become adept at navigating our increasingly wired world while also helping them develop deductive reasoning, math, and other vital literacy skills. One of the simplest and most powerful tools for technology-based public library programming is called Scratch. It s a free, easy-to-use programming language that can be used to create everything from 3-D animation and graphics to music-enhanced presentations and games. This book * Explains how to use Scratch, and how it has already been used in libraries around the country to create technology workshops for youth * Guides readers through workshop planning, focusing on targeting youth ranging from teens to younger elementary students * Presents advocacy tools so that organizers can make the case to their institution s managers, administrators, and other stakeholders * Provides reliable and field-tested techniques for time management, locating and training volunteers (teen and adult), and identifying and working with community partners * Includes workshop templates as well as sample participant evaluation checklists Storytimes for the digital age, technology-based workshops are important opportunities for supplementing and complementing education for all youth; this book fosters a different kind of thinking about what literacy in the 21st century really entails.

URL: From reading at librifoundation.org Mon Jan 9 10:02:35 2012 From: reading at librifoundation.org (The Libri Foundation) Date: Mon, 09 Jan 2012 10:02:35 -0800 Subject: [kids-lib] Grant Opportunity for Rural Public Libraries Message-ID: <4F0B2BBB.6030807@librifoundation.org> January 2012 The Libri Foundation is currently accepting applications for its 2012 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 $5,000,000 worth of new children's books to more than 3,000 libraries in all 50 states. 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. A library that received a BOOKS FOR CHILDREN grant in 2009 or earlier is eligible to apply if it fulfilled all the grant requirements, including sending in its final report. Application deadlines for 2012 are: (postmarked by) January 23rd, and May 15th. Grants will be awarded January 31st and May 31st. 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. May grant recipients may not receive their books until after most summer reading programs are over. 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. For more information about The Libri Foundation or its Books for Children program, please contact Ms. Barbara J. McKillip, President, The Libri Foundation, PO Box 10246, Eugene, OR 97440. 541-747-9655 (phone); 541-747-4348 (fax); libri at librifoundation.org (email). Normal office hours are: Monday-Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Pacific Time.

This list is based on the data reported via Public Library Statistics so includes best practices funded by any source, not just the Ready to Read Grant. To learn more about best practices visit our new website: http://orysbestpractices.wordpress.com/ 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: Summer Reading Log Redesign: Corvallis-Benton County Public Library A library intern, using the Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP) art, redesigned their summer reading activity sheet and reading log to promote reading across genres, experiment with different format, and explore Corvallis by reading in all the city parks. That's a combo of several components of high-quality summer reading programs! Temporary Summer Library Cards: Sweet Home Public Library Linn County has a number of people who do not live in a library service area therefore typically have to pay for library cards. In 2011, Sweet Home issued 284 temporary library cards so children and teens could fully participate in the summer reading program no matter where they live. This is another component of high-quality summer reading programs! Summer Reading Shirts for City Hall: Stayton Public Library Every year the library provides each city hall staff member with a summer reading shirt. City hall staff wear them proudly throughout the summer to show support for and promote the library's summer reading program. Summer Science Program: Wilsonville Public Library In addition to the traditional summer reading program, Wilsonville also provides a summer science program that works much the same way. Kids are provided with an activity booklet describing science activities they can do at home, the library presented several science programs, and kids filled out a log to track their completion of science activities. This is another component of high-quality summer reading programs! Just for Fun: Many of you send in wonderful photos of your Ready to Read projects. This year an unusual number of you sent in pictures of the Reptile Man featuring turtles. As many of you know I have pet turtles so I was delighted! I posted your turtle photos... I mean summer reading photos in my office. Thank you so much! (Note: My office is behind locked doors so kids in photos are not publicly displayed.) Thank you all for the wonderful library youth services you provide your communities!

In addition to Suzanne Harold?s discussion of what it?s like to be on the Caldecott committee, this year?s fascinating guest speaker was Fiona Kenshoe, who shared insights into children?s books from the publisher?s perspective. She worked as an editor and publisher of children?s books in England before moving to Portland to work with the animation studio Laika, the makers of Coraline. She At Laika, she scouted children?s and teen lit for books that would make good animated films. She brought Coraline to Laika?s attention, as well as Hugo Cabret. (Unfortunately the studio declined that one.) There were 6 breakout groups. Each reported back on their top choice, with brief reasons why. The small groups were all over the place, a new phenomenon for this workshop. They chose: A Ball for Daisy, Blackout, Grandpa Green, Swirl by Swirl (chosen twice), and Where?s Walrus? Then the whole group voted again with tallying using the actual method used for the Caldecott Committee. In the final balloting, the book that got the most votes was *Blackout*. The other books that fared well in the final vote were *A Ball for Daisy*by Chris Raschka. *Grandpa Green* by Lane Smith and *Swirl by Swirl : Spirals in Nature** written by Joyce Sidman ; illustrated by Beth Krommes and I Want My Hat Back by Jon Klassen. *** -- * Jane Corry Belmont Youth Librarian- Multnomah County Library 1038 SE Cesar Chavez Blvd. Portland OR 97214 503-988-5382 OLA CSD Chair-elect ** We're fools whether we dance or not, so we might as well dance. -Japanese Proverb * -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I just read an excellent article on the benefits of bilingualism: "Leave Los Ninos Alone! The Mental Costs of Linguistic Assimilation" by Julie Sedivy in Discover magazine online at: http://mblogs.discovermagazine.com/crux/2012/01/19/leave-los-ninos-alone-the-mental-costs-of-linguistic-assimilation/ Below are key points I copied and pasted from the article, all except the first one are new to me. I find the last point particularly interesting and relevant to our work. Many early childhood professionals and bilingual parents ask if one method or another is better for teaching children to be bilingual. This new study suggests that compartmentalizing languages, speaking one language at home and another out of the home, may not have the same cognitive benefits as mixing languages and flipping between them throughout the day. Note, this is only one study which means this isn?t a definitive answer to the question and this study does not address the cultural and familial benefits of learning one?s native language. ? The advantages [of bilingualism] seem to hinge on the cognitive machinery of executive control?mental processes that allow us to switch quickly between tasks or competing information. ? Bilinguals tend to outperform monolinguals whenever they have to ignore distracting information and focus on some relevant dimension? [because]? bilingual speech, whether it overtly mixes languages or not, is a highly controlled process involving rapid-fire decisions about which words to choose and which ones to suppress. ? A bilingual advantage for quick attention-shifting has been found in babies as young as seven months, well before these children ever utter their first words in either language. ? the drawings of bilingual kindergarten-age kids were different from their monolingual peers. ?monolingual children were fairly unadventurous? bilingual children? incorporated elements from completely different objects? This kind of cross-category mixing in children?s drawings tends not to occur until kids are about eight years old, putting the bilingual kids on an accelerated timeline for this particular skill. ? At the far end of the lifespan, bilingualism may help postpone the symptoms associated with Alzheimer?s disease; some bilingual Alzheimer?s populations have shown delays of four to five years in the onset of their symptoms as compared with their monolingual peers. ? one recent study? compared Mandarin-English bilinguals, Spanish-English bilinguals, and monolingual English speakers living in San Diego? the Spanish-English speakers flipped between their languages on a daily basis. Mandarin-English speakers, on the other hand, kept their language use more compartmentalized. All three groups were given a test in which they had to switch between sorting visual images either by their color or by their shape. Only the Spanish-English bilinguals showed a relative advantage when confronted with a sudden category shift; the Mandarin-English speakers were no different on this score than the monolinguals.

From: oasl-all at oema.memberclicks.net [mailto:oasl-all at oema.memberclicks.net] On Behalf Of Jennifer Maurer Sent: Monday, October 31, 2011 5:01 PM To: Jennifer Maurer Subject: [oasl-all] [Elementary] Reading is an Investment Has Begun [cid:image005.png at 01CC97E8.C49AD4F0] This year?s Reading is an Investment (RII) program is now in full swing. Sponsored by the State Treasurer and the Oregon College Savings Plan, it aims to promote literacy and financial education among K-5 elementary students in Oregon. http://www.ost.state.or.us/Read/About.htm As part of RII, your elementary school library will receive two free books: Pigs Will be Pigs: Fun With Math and Money by Amy Axelrod and Rock, Brock, and the Savings Shock by Sheila Bair. Homeschoolers and students in private elementary schools are welcome to participate, but they do not receive donated books. [cid:image006.jpg at 01CC97EB.56735710] [cid:image007.jpg at 01CC97EB.56735710] The biggest program component is encouraging kids to read or be read to, and the books should relate to money and finances. Students must read at least 3 books from the recommended reading list, and they will track their time in increments of 20 (read-to-me kids) or 40 (independent readers) minutes. Participants may fill out a reading log up to 10 times, and each log counts as an entry for the Oregon College Savings Plan drawing. For resources such as curriculum tie-ins and the recommended reading list, visit http://www.ost.state.or.us/Read/Teachers.htm. FYI, the reading list was updated this year. The second page of the reading log has a detailed explanation of how to participate. http://www.ost.state.or.us/Read/Reading_Log.pdf For students to be eligible for one of the fifty $500 college savings plan scholarships, their entries must be received by March 31, 2012. http://www.ost.state.or.us/Read/Register.asp (Did you know that the winners? school also receives $500?) Need the program information in Spanish? http://www.ost.state.or.us/Read/Espanol/ If you have any questions about Reading is an Investment, contact Nicki McMillan, Executive Assistant in the Office of the State Treasurer, at 503.378.4329 or reading.investment at ost.state.or.us. Finally, in a summer Tidbits email I suggested that schools that really want to focus on financial education could try to combine Reading is an Investment with Banking on Our Future, a financial skills program for 4th ? 8th graders. If you?re interested in pursuing that, here?s information about the latter program from http://financialbeginnings.org/youth-programs.asp: ?This fun, engaging and relevant program is taught by professionals in our community who really connect with our youth around these important topics. This free program covers four important topics listed below [budgeting, credit, accounts, and savings & investing] in a four hour program that can be scheduled to fit each teacher's needs.?

The Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP) has notified us of another great resource for teens to use as they are editing their videos. Moby (The musician, not the whale. Betcha he's never heard that one before.) has generously made some of his instrumental music available to film makers developing educational videos. Links to this resource have been added to the CSLP 2012 Video Challenge resources page: http://www.cslpreads.org/resources.html. The Saturday, March 3 deadline for submissions is coming right up. Entrants should upload their videos on YouTube and send me an entry form by that time. See the messages below and the attached entry form for more information about how the contest works. Please let me know if a) You know of teens who are working on a video b) You feel you need more support for the contest c) You have any questions about the contest d) Your cat has moved to Canada and become the first feline curling champion. If that situation exists, I want to know about it. Ecstatically yours, Lisa Tigard Public Library 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.

Earlier this week, I sent the message below announcing the 2012 Teen Summer Reading Video Challenge. I've had some great questions since then, so I wanted to send you more information. Please let me know if there's anything else you'd like to know. ? CSLP Video Submission Criteria The video will include the teen's interpretation of the 2012 CSLP teen slogan "Own the Night" and promote reading and libraries. The video has a clear message and is delivered in a creative way. The video must be usable to promote summer reading at any public library nationwide: the promotion of a specific library is not acceptable, the video should not state "visit the ABC Public Library" but it is OK for the signage of a public library to appear in the video. The video must be designed for use at any library and be appropriate for viewing by audiences of all ages. All materials used must be created by the teen(s), or be in the public domain. The length of the video must be at least 30 seconds long and no longer than 90 seconds. The video entry form must have the name of a CSLP member library. All entries must include signed Model Release form(s). Once the winning video is determined, the state member will contact the winner and obtain a DVD of the winning video. As the criteria above states, videos should feature teen interpretations of the 2012 teen SRP slogan "Own the Night" and promote reading and libraries in general rather than specific library programs. Videos should definitely focus on teen programs over programs for adults and kids. Here's the link to last year's winners if you want some shining examples: http://www.cslpreads.org/winners.html Warmly, Lisa Lisa Elliott Young Adult Librarian Tigard Public Library lisae at tigard-or.gov 503-718-2654 From: Lisa Elliott Sent: Friday, December 09, 2011 1:26 PM To: oyan at listsmart.osl.state.or.us; kids-lib at listsmart.osl.state.or.us Subject: 2012 Teen Summer Reading Video Challenge [Please excuse any duplication due to cross-posting.] Hello all, It's time to launch the 2012 Teen Summer Reading Video Challenge. If you remember, last year was the first year of the contest and it was the brain child of folks at the Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP). Each participating state runs the contest locally, winners are selected for each state, and are featured on the cslpreads.org website. Oregon teens are encouraged to create and submit 30-90 second PSAs promoting the summer reading program. The deadline for submissions is Saturday, March 3. All submissions will be posted to a YouTube channel which will be open for users to vote for their favorite videos by "Liking" them. The final winner will be selected by a panel of judges from OYAN. I've attached Oregon's entry form which includes contest rules, and I encourage you to check out the contest resources on the CSLP website. I've also included some suggestions below about implementing the contest at your school or library. Please let me know if you have any questions. Note that while submitted videos must be posted online, paper forms need to be signed and submitted to me. Video Contest Programming * Plan a video making workshop using free video editing software like Windows Live Movie Maker. * Invite folks from local cable access or film centers to teach a movie making workshop and/or provide equipment. * Try animation workshops using Machinima or stop motion animation. * While the library is closed, make the space available for movie makers. Provide cardboard, markers and crayons to create set pieces. * Partner with a school or library. Many schools have media labs and may include PSAs as part of their curriculum. * Partner with local youth groups like 4H Tech Wizards. * Consider tying the contest into Teen Tech Week (March 6-12). You could screen submissions at a celebration. * Consider offering prizes for winners and runners up you select locally, but be sure that ALL submissions are sent to me for the state-wide contest. 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.

The previous petition to save American school libraries failed. Less than 4,000 signatures are still needed by Feb. 4th in order for this to proceed. Ensure that every child in America has access to an effective school library program. Every child in America deserves access to an effective school library program. We ask that the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) provide dedicated funding to help support effective school library programs. Such action will ensure more students have access to the resources and tools that constitute a 21st century learning environment. Reductions in school library programs are creating an ?access gap? between schools in wealthier communities versus those where there are high levels of poverty. All students should have an equal opportunity to acquire the skills necessary to learn, to participate, and to compete in today?s world. Please sign the petition by Feb. 4th at the link below.
