Details about the Oregon Summer Reading Certificates:

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<http://www.cslpreads.org/> 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.

The winning certificates will be available in English and Spanish to download and print from the Oregon summer reading website.  If you want hard copies, please read the following for details:

SCHOOL LIBRARIES: Later today you will receive an email with information about ordering hardcopies of the summer reading 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 in March.  Remember, these certificates are FREE!
