The proposed changes to the Ready to Read Grant are included in the Governor's Budget which was released today. Please read the email below for details. This is the first step in the legislative process. We will continue to keep you posted. If you missed the Reimagining Ready to Read Road Show last spring, then you have one more chance to attend. The Ready to Read Road show will be one of the sessions at the Oregon Library Association's Conference 2015. At this session I will review the proposed changes to the Ready to Read Grant by walking through what will be the new grant application and new report form if the changes are passed by the legislature.

Message-ID: <640435851FD7CB4AB3C4BE0D1963BA2452960548@OSLEXCHANGE.osl.state.or.us.local> [StoryTime_banner_ad_728x90] Last month, Governor Kitzhaber and the Oregon Education Investment Board launched stORytime. As public library staff who serve young children and their families, I hope you will consider how you can support this effort. What is stORytime? It is a new statewide public awareness campaign to encourage families and caregivers to talk, sing, read, and play every day everywhere with their children from birth through third grade. The goal of the campaign is to address barriers that make it difficult for families and caregivers to engage their children in language and literacy activities. The desired outcome of the campaign is that all children will be reading at grade level by third grade. Those who developed the campaign translated StORytime as La hORa del cuento for the Spanish-speaking community. What can you do? The folks behind stORytime are looking for partners. As a librarian, you have the knowledge and experience to help make stORytime a success. Here are a few ideas of how you can engage. * Incorporate the StORytime materials in your early literacy efforts such as storytimes and early literacy workshops with parents in collaboration with libraries and other entities. * Offer tips about talking, singing, reading and playing with children via your newsletter, website, or social media and brand your tips/articles with a storytime logo. For example, you can pull ideas from Washington Learning System's On-the-Go early literacy activities (in English and Spanish) or encourage families to download and use the Vroom app that provides parents with developmentally appropriate early literacy activities they can do every day everywhere. Vroom is not an app for kids! It gives parents ideas like "While doing the laundry describe what you're doing to your baby and ask your preschooler help you sort clothes by color." * Partner with community organizations and schools to have a family literacy community event to educate families about literacy support in the community, distribute books and other resources, and engage in fun literacy activities. * Work with your local early learning hub, school/school district, or Education Service District to select one or two groups of underserved families and plan a literacy program for specifically those families. * Review the program schedule to ensure some early literacy programs are also being offered when working parents can bring their children. For example, storytime on Saturday morning or monthly pajama storytime on Tuesday evenings. * Read my first email about StORytime with some more ideas! What are you already doing? * Please 'reply all' to this email and tell other libraries how you are participating in StORytime. This is new so we're all looking for ideas!

The Maker Cookbook: Recipes for Children's and 'Tween Library Programs. Santa Barbara, CA: Libraries Unlimited. 978-1-31069-661-6. The Maker Movement is sweeping the nation because it is creative and educational-and a lot of fun. Nonetheless, some librarians have hesitated to incorporate the movement into their programming because their libraries do not have dedicated makerspaces. If that describes you, then take heart. Written by librarians for librarians, this "cookbook" proves that every library is already a MakerPlace and provides you with recipes to make your library come alive with creativity. Easy-to-use, step-by-step guidance helps you create engaging K-8 programs in science and technology, arts and crafts, and home skills that are perfect for the library setting. The menu of ideas is broken into four types of programming. "Appetizers" add a taste of the Maker movement to existing library programs. "Entrees" present full programs for a lengthy one-day event or a short series. "Side Dishes" are programs you can use if you have limited staff, budget, space, or any combination of those. "Desserts" are low-tech programs, suitable for young children. Each "recipe" includes extensions, variations, and curriculum tie-ins that give you even more ways to present the program ideas, whether to a different audience or as part of other related activities. Programs that involve creating a "Balloon Zip Line," a "Zen Garden," or a "Maker Marketplace" will delight library users and generate activity and excitement in your library.

Creativity and Children's Literature: New Ways to Encourage Divergent Thinking. Santa Barbara, CA: Libraries Unlimited. 978-1-61069-355-4. The children in classrooms today will soon become adult members of society: they will need to apply divergent thinking skills to be effective in all aspects of their lives, regardless of their specific occupation. How well your students meet complicated challenges and take advantage of the opportunities before them decades down the road will depend largely upon the kind of thinking they are trained and encouraged to do today. This book provides a game plan for busy librarians and teachers to develop their students' abilities to arrive at new ideas by utilizing children's books at hand. Following an introduction in which the author defines divergent thinking, discusses its characteristics, and establishes its vital importance, chapters dedicated to types of literature for children such as fantasy, poetry, and non-fiction present specific titles and relevant activities geared to fostering divergent thinking in young minds. Parents will find the recommendations of the kinds of books to read with their children and explanations of how to engage their children in conversations that will help their creative thinking skills extremely beneficial. The book also includes a case study of a fourth-grade class that applied the principles of divergent thinking to imagine innovative designs and come up with new ideas while studying a social studies/science unit on ecology.

To: Martin Blasco > [Image removed by sender. LULAC] Donate | Tell A Friend | Subscribe | [Image removed by sender.] | [Image removed by sender.] | [Image removed by sender.] November 20, 2014 President Obama Takes Decisive Action in Granting Immigration Relief to Millions Washington, D.C. ? Today, President Obama exercised his legal authority to issue an executive order that will provide temporary relief to as many as 5 million undocumented people currently residing in the U.S. ?Today, the president has changed the lives of millions of people,? said LULAC National Executive Director Brent Wilkes. ?Students can go to school without fear that their parents will be deported and parents can go to work without fear of being separated from their families. More young people will be allowed to work legally and contribute to the only country they know as home. By taking executive action, the president has answered the will of the American people. Today's executive order not only does right by the families of countless Latinos, and will also serve to benefit our economy.? LULAC expects Congress to follow President Obama's lead. The president has acted through executive order but the country still needs comprehensive immigration reform to address other key immigration challenges. It is a need that the American people clearly recognize. In fact, in the last election, polls showed that over 81 percent of Americans want Congress to address immigration reform. Other polls showed that at least 57 percent of Americans thought there should be a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants. Such reforms would benefit families and the economy. According to some estimates, every year that Congress fails to pass immigration reform measures such as H.R. 15, the country loses out on $15.8 billion in potential economic gains per year ? which translates to $1.3 billion a month, and $43 million a day. If, however, the Republican lead Congress chooses simply to continue its anti-immigrant discourse, it will only succeed in alienating the majority of Americans who favor such reforms. President Obama is not the first American president to use his executive authority to address immigration challenges. In 1986, President Reagan used his executive authority to grant legal status to an estimated 3 million immigrants. President Bush later used the same authority to include the spouses and children of those who were legalized under the 1986 reform. ?Presidents Reagan and Bush stood for family values which included the immigrant population - a view that is clearly not held by today?s anti-immigrant politicians,? continued Wilkes. ?And now, President Obama has cemented his legacy as the family values president by taking action that puts the unification of families at the top of his agenda.? LULAC has developed a number of resources in order to provide assistance to immigrant community. Specifically, in the coming weeks, LULAC will host a livestream seminar with key agencies providing information about the application process for the referenced programs. Those who need assistance are also urged to call 1- 877-585-2201 where LULAC staff are available to answer questions. Further, through its Hispanic Immigrant Integration Program, LULAC provides assistance with immigration applications. Lastly, members can go here for more information. The application process for the effected programs has yet to be provided by the Department of Homeland Security. Until then LULAC urges the immigrant community to beware of unscrupulous actors posing as attorneys by calling themselves ?notarios? and demanding payment for immigration services. Since the provisions outlined by the president are extensions of an existing program (DACA), we know which forms are most likely be requested. LULAC suggests that the immigrant community have the following documents available: * Affidavits from community-based or religious organizations to establish a requestor?s homelessness or lack of parental or other familial financial support; * Copies of tax returns, bank statements, pay stubs, or other reliable evidence of income level. Evidence can also include an affidavit from the applicant or a responsible third party attesting that the applicant does not file tax returns, has no bank accounts, and/or has no income to prove income level; * Copies of medical records, insurance records, bank statements, or other reliable evidence of unreimbursed medical expenses of at least $10,000. ________________________________ [Image removed by sender.] [Image removed by sender.] [Image removed by sender.] ________________________________ This email was sent to: ramontrane at gmail.com Click here to unsubscribe from email sent by LULAC.

Here are the details. I'm excited, are you excited?! CSD Mock Sibert workshop with Author Marc Aronson The Oregon Library Association?s Children?s Services Division is sponsoring a brand new workshop in order to help you develop evaluation skills and understanding about what makes nonfiction for youth excellent. We are very lucky to be joined this year by author, *Marc Aronson*! Aronson will be doing a special afternoon session for workshop participants, but can be attended independent of the workshop. Aronson won the first Sibert Award in 2001 with his book *Sir Walter Ralegh and the Quest for El Dorado. *He is the leader in the field in writing fantastic nonfiction books for youth of all ages. *Sugar Changed the World: A Story of Magic, Spice, Slavery, Freedom, and Science*; *Master of Deceit: J. Edgar Hoover and America in the Age of Lies*; and *If Stones Could Speak: Unlocking the Secrets of Stonehenge* are just a few of his books that have really raised the bar on great nonfiction storytelling that truly inspires readership in youth. Not only does he publish great books for kids, his column with *School Library Journal,* Consider the Source shows librarians the possibilities of nonfiction in their libraries, and he is the expert resource in helping libraries navigate the Common Core standards. With the amount of great nonfiction being published for youth, and the push in schools to use more information texts in curriculum, has there ever been a better time to explore our passion and evaluation skills for great nonfiction? Without further ado, please allow me to introduce: *2014 Children?s Services Division Mock Sibert Workshop* *Saturday December 13**th* *9:00 am ? 3:30 pm* *Wilsonville Library, Wilsonville, OR* Click here to register: The 2015 CSD Mock Sibert Workshop follows up on the long-standing CSD tradition of offering high quality Mock workshops.

[LALimage2014.png] Letters About Literature is a national reading and writing contest sponsored by the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress (LOC) and by Oregon's equivalent at the State Library. Students write letters to any author explaining how that author's book changed their way of thinking about the world or themselves. Please help promote this program, including among homeschoolers. The LOC asks teachers and parents to allow students to choose a book that is meaningful to them and asks students to explain *why* or *how* the book was significant to them instead of summarizing the plot. The focus of a participant's letter is to make clear the connection one has with a book. Here's what Lynette Gottlieb, a teacher in Corvallis, had to say about the contest: Letters about Literature was a completely positive experience for my students...importantly, some of my students who do not identify as writers, and do not generally enjoy the experience, were able to write about something meaningful to them and participate in an inclusive contest that also recognized them...the process connects them to the human experience of literature. It supports my English classroom where I give students choice about reading whenever possible and teach that literature and writing are first and foremost about communication. There are three competition levels: Level I for 4th-6th graders, Level II for 7th-8th graders, and Level III for 9th-12th graders. Oregon's three winners - one from each competition level - will go on to compete nationally. Entry forms and guidelines are available online. All Level III entries must be postmarked by December 15, 2014 and Level I and Level II entries by January 15, 2015. Last year, about 1,040 students in Oregon entered the contest, and 1 in 8 received cash prizes or bookstore gift certificates. These prizes are made possible through support from the national Center for the Book, Oregon Reading Association, and three divisions of the Oregon Library Association: Oregon Association of School Libraries, Children's Services Division, and Oregon Young Adult Network. Thanks for passing along the information and encouraging participation. Please note that this is likely the last year that the State Library will coordinate the program because of changes within the agency. State Library staff members are working to find a new home for Letters About Literature. However, if no organization takes it on, this could be the program's last year in Oregon. Questions? Please ask.

It is a new statewide public awareness campaign to encourage families and caregivers to talk, sing, read, and play every day everywhere with their children from birth through third grade. The goal of the campaign is to address barriers that make it difficult for families and caregivers to engage their children in language and literacy activities.

As a librarian, you have the knowledge and experience to help make stORytime a success. Here are a few ideas of how you can engage. * Incorporate the StORytime materials in your early literacy efforts such as storytimes and early literacy workshops with parents in collaboration with libraries and other entities. * Offer tips about talking, singing, reading and playing with children via your newsletter, website, or social media and brand your tips/articles with a storytime logo. For example, you can pull ideas from Washington Learning System's On-the-Go early literacy activities (in English and Spanish) or encourage families to download and use the Vroom app that provides parents with developmentally appropriate early literacy activities they can do every day everywhere. Vroom is not an app for kids! It gives parents ideas like "While doing the laundry describe what you're doing to your baby and ask your preschooler help you sort clothes by color." * Partner with community organizations and schools to have a family literacy community event to educate families about literacy support in the community, distribute books and other resources, and engage in fun literacy activities. * Work with your local early learning hub, school/school district, or Education Service District to select one or two groups of underserved families and plan a literacy program for specifically those families. * Review the program schedule to ensure some early literacy programs are also being offered when working parents can bring their children. For example, storytime on Saturday morning or monthly pajama storytime on Tuesday evenings. * Read my first email about StORytime with some more ideas!

Unfortunately, they were created by CSD and OYAN over ten years ago. The CSD Board voted to appoint a Task Force who would update and streamline the guidelines, following the format of the new OLA Standards for Public Libraries, and making them focused only on children's services. The CSD Board will provide you with three other recommended state guidelines to review. We're hoping the new Guidelines will be completed by fall of 2015, and we believe that your work can be done via email or Skype. If you are interested in being on the committee please contact me (I'm the CSD Chair). Thank you for considering!

Below are online learning opportunities specifically related to serving underserved youth I learned about from ALA?s Association for Library Services to Children (some are relevant for teen services too!). Many of your libraries are partnering with youth development teams, early learning hubs, and other groups that are particularly concerned with providing services and opportunities for underserved youth so these may be useful in your partnerships. In addition if the proposed changes to the Ready to Read Grant are approved by the Legislature, then the libraries will be required to make an extra effort to engage underserved youth in one or more grant funded activity and these resources may help you start thinking about ways to do that.

It is an evolving field that challenges us to continuously learn and grow in our professional development to better serve our communities. As a member of ALSC?s Library Service to Special Population Children and Their Caregivers Committee, we have a specific goal to advocate for special populations children and their caregivers. We strive to discover, develop, and disseminate information about materials, programs and facilities that are available at the library for these groups of patrons. One of the things that we suggest is that library staff at all levels participate in continuing educational programs and classes about serving these special populations. Here is a current list of online resources available through ALSC, ASCLA, YASLA, and Webjunction for you to help you grow in awareness and competency in this area. ?

Hi Katie, My name is Deborah Fike, and Jo Oshiro of the Oregon Department of Education referred me to you. I work for Spotkin, based in Eugene, Oregon. Our latest learning game, Contraption Maker, is free to educators. Contraption Maker provides a set of puzzles that are reminiscent of Rube Goldberg cartoons. Children use hundreds of parts like hamster motors, balls, and conveyor belts to fix broken contraptions. Moving down our knowledge funnel, kids can create their own contraptions and share them with the world. Advanced students can use our JavaScript modding capabilities to truly make the game their own. It?s an engaging digital sandbox that promotes creativity by experimenting with logical cause and effect consequences. Contraption Maker was chosen as a Best EdTech App of 2014 by Graphite. We know Contraption Maker is effective in the classroom because it is the modern successor to a game our team built in 1993 called "The Incredible Machine? (TIM). TIM was used by thousands of classrooms with high accolades. Many academic researchers used TIM as a model to successfully incorporate video games into classrooms. We constantly receive feedback from professionals ranging from medical doctors to computer programmers that they choose their career because they played TIM. To learn more, check out our educational page. Let me know if you know anyone who might be interested in free educational copies of Contraption Maker. We'd love to have more Oregonians using our software!

Below is an announcement from the Oregon Registry about a training of trainers for the Early Words curriculum on February 21st in Tigard. Participating in the training of trainers means you would be able to conduct Early Words training for childcare providers and offer them continuing education credit. What is Early Words? It is an early literacy curriculum based on the same research as the Every Child Ready to Read early literacy curriculum. What?s the difference between Every Child Ready to Read and Early Words? The intended audience and depth of information. ? If you want to provide early literacy training to parents and informal childcare providers who are only responsible for a few children at a time, then the Every Child Ready to Read is more appropriate for your intended audience because it provides the level of information families need to help their children get ready to read. ? If you want to provide early literacy training to childcare providers who are responsible for large groups of children, then Early Words is more appropriate for your intended audience because it provides a higher level of knowledge early childhood professionals need to plan educational programs. As I mentioned both curriculums are based on the same research. Therefore if you have a preference for one curriculum over the other, then you may use that curriculum for both audiences. I?ve used Early Words with parents effectively and Every Child Ready to Read with childcare providers effectively. The more tools you have in your early literacy toolbox the better you will be able to meet the needs of each unique audience. If you are not already in the Oregon Registry Trainer Program, then you will need to apply for the level of trainer you are interested in becoming in addition to the training application. Each level of trainer has a basic application. Click this link to go to the program page http://www.pdx.edu/occd/oregon-registry-trainer-program-6.

Members of the SBOE will vote on whether or not to adopt the standards at their January 22nd meeting. OASL is optimistic.

Standards Susan Stone, Jennifer Maurer, Peggy Christensen and I presented the Oregon School Library Standards yesterday to the Oregon Department of Education. During the board presentation, members were engaged and were very enthusiastic. We had several comments made by board members about visiting schools and they were super enthusiastic about the standards meeting critical areas not addressed elsewhere. The OR School Library Standards Committee should all be commended for their hard work (2 years!) developing, vetting, and marketing the standards to get to this point. I want to call out Peggy Christensen of Coos Bay (Marshfield HS) for her leadership on this committee. Without her group, we wouldn't have this opportunity. Peggy was tenacious in obtaining letters of support and instrumental in providing examples of this important work in action. In addition to Peggy, Jennifer Maurer (State Library) and Susan Stone (Portland Public) should also be recognized for their leadership role in creating the content of the presentations, collecting research and data, and providing examples of the standards in action. The board will officially vote to adopt the standards on January 22nd. Thanks to all who wrote letters of support. The standards committee will be meeting to discuss next steps! Cheers!

I?ve had my share of parents ask me for the best new picture book of the year for their daughter or a grandparent who wants to gift their tween a book but has no clue where to start. If you have also had these experiences, check out ALSC?s updated booklists! These are a great resource to help parents, grandparents and caregivers of all sorts purchase great books for the children in their lives during the winter holiday season- or any time of year. [Image from http://www.ala.org/alsc/building-home-library-2014-update.] Image from http://www.ala.org/alsc/building-home-library-2014-update. The ALA-Children?s Book Council (CBC) Joint Committee, with cooperation from ALSC?s Quicklists Consulting Committee, have updated the four Building a Home Library booklists to provide advice to caregivers and others interested in constructing an excellent, star quality library for children at home. The committee looked to include less mainstream gems, wonderful multicultural books, beloved classics and new, notable titles. The CBC Committee has included two printer-friendly versions of the bibliographies for four specific age groups. You will find suggested titles of exemplary content and quality for children from birth to age 3, children ages 4-7, children ages 8-11 and even for tween-aged children 12-14. The brochures are great for putting out at your desk for interested patrons. Does your library receive donation gifts for area shelters, churches or other organizations? You can place these brochures next to your donation bin for easy suggestions the busy patron can bring to their local bookseller when shopping. Some of my favorite choices from the lists that would be perfect gifts are: Carle, Eric. La oruga muy hambrienta/ The Very Hungry Caterpillar. Philomel/ Penguin, 2011. This classic story from beloved author and illustrator Carle is indeed a great gift for babies birth to age 3. This publication is particularly great because it will introduce both English and Spanish words to your little one. Snicket, Lemony. Illustrated by Jon Klassen. The Dark. Little, Brown Books for Young Readers, 2013. [The Dark by Lemony Snicket. Image from www.hachettebookgroup.com.] The Dark by Lemony Snicket. Image from www.hachettebookgroup.com. Children ages 4-7 are sure to enjoy this wonderful picture book that gives a voice to the dark. This is an especially fun read-aloud with two readers and a perfect opportunity for caregivers to participate in their preschooler?s reading time! Palacio, R.J. Wonder. Knopf/ Random House, 2012. 8-11 year olds of all reading levels will appreciate this heart-warming story of a 5th grade boy with facial abnormalities. It?s realistic tone and kind message make it a lovely holiday gift choice. Telgemeier, Raina. Drama. Graphix/ Scholastic Inc., 2012. Encourage caregivers to snag this title if they have a reluctant tween reader to please. This graphic novel about middle-school drama club and making new friends will become a well-read book at home. What books do you love to recommend for holiday gifts? If you have any favorites, please share them with us in the comments! From everyone on the Public Awareness Committee, happy holidays! _________________________________________________________ Nicole Lee Martin is a Librarian at the Grafton-Midview Public Library in Grafton, OH and is writing this post for the Public Awareness Committee.

I just wanted to let everyone know I'm working on guidance for you about collecting Ready to Read data and plan to email it to library directors and Ready to Read Key Contacts in early January. There are a few things I still need to get guidance on from the Oregon Department of Education, but here is a sneak peak at two things I already heard back from them about: How do I collect participation numbers by age range? * Early literacy projects: Children who participate in early literacy programs are mostly birth-preschool age so all you have to do is a head count of the children like you have in the past. If you notice an older sibling participating, then make your best guess about that child's age and count him/her separately like you count adults separately. * Summer reading projects: You might consider asking participants "What grade will you be in next year?" on their sign-up/registration form, reading log, or end of summer survey. * Small programs: Do a head count and make a best guess about how many are in each age group. * Large programs: o Do a head count of youth birth through high school and only report numbers for 'Total birth-12th grade youth' instead of breaking them out by age range, and do a head count of adults and report the number of 'Adults', or o Do a head count of all people and estimate how many are youth birth-12th grade and how many are adults. How do I know what percent of birth-12th grade youth participated with an adult? * Make your best guess based on the data you collect and/or observations you make. This is how these questions will probably look on the 2015 Ready to Read final report form: 10. How many people participated in your grant funded early literacy project activities? _____ NA (We didn't do a project in which people attended a program or participated in an activity.) _____ Birth-Preschool _____ Kindergarten - 3rd grade _____ 4th grade - 5th grade _____ 6th grade - 8th grade _____ 9th grade - 12th grade _____ Total birth - 12th grade youth _____ Adults _____ % of birth - 12th grade youth who attended with an adult 11. How did you collect the participation data you reported in question 10? Sign-up/registration forms Returned reading logs/end of summer survey (summer reading section only) Programs were presented to groups of children within a specific age range Head counts at programs and staff made best guess about age Other, please explain Please remember scientific data isn't necessary for Ready to Read. Just do the best you can with the program situation unique to your library. This is a case when 'close enough' is acceptable. If you are consistent about the way you collect and report data over time, then you should still get useful information and see real trends over time even if that data is 'close enough' instead of scientific.

We urgently need to get your helpful ideas, since our first early literacy Ready-to-Read funded program is scheduled on January 2, and the other programs follow closely behind. Thank you for any help you can give us. Here is the list of statistics I compiled; if you know of others that I have left out, please let me know. Early Literacy For the Library's statistics, we count how many people total (any age) attended . For Ready to Read reporting, we will only report how many YOUTH attended each grant funded project. Also estimate how many in each category: Birth-Preschool Kindergarten-3rd grade 4th grade - 5th grade 6th grade - 8th grade 9th grade - 12th grade Total youth birth - 12th grade What percentage of these youth do you estimate participated in your grant funded early literacy project with an adult? SRP For the Library's statistics, we count how many people total (any age) attended . For Ready to Read reporting, we will only report how many YOUTH attended each grant funded project. Also estimate how many in each category: Birth-Preschool Kindergarten-3rd grade 4th grade - 5th grade 6th grade - 8th grade 9th grade - 12th grade Total youth birth - 12th grade **We need to keep track of how many in each category sign up for a reading log in 2015, and we can use that as a proportional guide for our estimate of how many in each category attend the weekly events. What percentage of these youth do you estimate participated in your grant funded summer reading project with an adult?

(Available in English, Spanish, and 11 more languages) http://www.kinder-4.ch/en/filme_alter * Opening your eyes to the world as children see it In their early years, children learn more than in any later stage of their lives. They are curious. They explore the world with all their senses. Everyday life is full of opportunities to discover new things. The 40 short films illustrate what happens on these explorative journeys. * Revealing the meaning of everyday life When parents and other caregivers accompany children in their early years in an attentive manner, they support them in a crucial phase of their development. The 40 short films show that there is no need for anything extraordinary: Learning opportunities present themselves in countless moments of everyday life. * Supporting the work of professionals In particular, the short films are designed to support professionals who work in early childhood education, care and upbringing: In the areas of family support, parental counseling and education. For this reason, the short films are available in 13 languages; there is extensive expert commentary, communication tools and a box which contains all products, including all films on a USB stick. Moreover, the films and expert commentary are available for the training of experts or for the quality work of family support facilities.

Many of you reported that integrating science into summer reading was especially fun and successful. You may be interested in the list of STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math) books from ALA's Association for Library Services to Children. While these book lists (bibliographies) were created with El d?a de los ni?os/ El d?a de los libros in mind, they may be useful for general collection development, readers' advisory, creating displays, and programming. The book lists are available online at: http://www.ala.org/alsc/2015-building-steam-dia-book-lists.

Intended to accompany El d?a de los ni?os/El d?a de los libros (D?a) programming, the four book lists are comprised of multicultural titles that showcase STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) topics. The four Building STEAM with D?a book lists are available for children from birth to Pre-K, kindergarten to 2nd grade, 3rd to 5th grade and 6th to 8th grade. PDFs of the reading lists are available online in full color and are free to download, copy and distribute. Book lists are available online at: http://www.ala.org/alsc/2015-building-steam-dia-book-lists. The lists also feature simple and age appropriate STEAM activities to accompany one of the titles on the list. Each is designed to help librarians and parents bring the book to life through easy hands-on STEAM activities. Titles and activities in the Building STEAM with D?a book lists were selected and developed by members of ALSC's Quicklists Consulting Committee. These free book lists were made possible through the Everyone Reads @ your library grand funded by the Dollar General Literacy Foundation. About D?a D?a, El d?a de los ni?os/El d?a de los libros (Children's Day/Book Day), is a nationally recognized initiative that emphasizes the importance of literacy for all children from all backgrounds. The D?a celebration was founded in 1996 by children's book author Pat Mora, who proposed conceptually linking the existing El D?a del Ni?o with literacy. The founding partner of D?a is REFORMA, the National Association to Promote Library and Information Services to Latinos and the Spanish-Speaking. For more information please visit http://dia.ala.org.
