Only one survey per library/library system should be submitted. If you are responsible for the children's, teen, and/or adult summer reading at your library, please ask your director what statistics they need from you and who at your library will be assigned to complete the online summer reading statistics survey. The deadline for completing the summer reading statistics and ordering survey is Tuesday, September 30th. The survey sent to your director and Ready to Read Grant key contact does not include an opportunity to provide feedback. You will have an opportunity to provide feedback on all things summer reading via the SRP feedback survey conducted and sent by K'Lyn Hann, the Oregon Young Adult Network's (OYAN) CSLP Liaison. The SRP feedback survey will go out to all Oregon library staff via the kids-lib, OYAN, and libs-or email discussion lists. This allows you and your colleagues to share your professional opinions individually. Be on the lookout for that survey from K'Lyn.

We now have access to National Geographic Kids (NGK) on OSLIS. What is National Geographic Kids? National Geographic Kids is a Gale database aimed at K-8 students. It includes access to National Geographic Kids magazine from 2009 to the present (3 month embargo), 200 National Geographic Kids books, and 500 kid-friendly and downloadable images. As the Gale NGK webpage points out, the database is full of authoritative nonfiction content, aka informational text, that supports Common Core and other standards. National Geographic Kids Webpage: http://www.cengagesites.com/Literature/776/national-geographic-for-research-libraries/ng-kids/ How Do I Access NGK? All statewide databases - the Gale suite plus LearningExpress Library - are available to the Oregon K-12 community via the Find Information pages on OSLIS. NGK is featured on both the elementary and secondary skins (versions). Remember that we have access to more Gale databases than we can feature. To see the full list of Gale databases, or common menu, click on PowerSearch on any OSLIS Find Information page. When prompted for a login, use the same credentials you use to access other Gale databases. If you do not know your district's or private school's Gale login, please ask me for it.

You have a couple of options for getting familiar with National Geographic Kids. There are two short tutorials, one called Basics and the other Searching. Also, there will be two National Geographic Kids webinars just for Oregon school library staff and educators. As time permits, the trainer will also explain how to use the new Kids InfoBits interface. The first webinar is on Friday, September 5th at 8:30 am Pacific, and the other is on September 29th at 3:30 pm Pacific. One session will be recorded and available for later viewing. I will post more details about the Oregon webinars later. Please promote the learning opportunities with pertinent teachers in your building or district. Tutorials: http://solutions.cengage.com/gale-training/on-demand-tutorials/#N Why Do We Now Have Access to NGK? On behalf of the Statewide Database Licensing Program and after an RFP and evaluation process with the Statewide Database Licensing Advisory Council, the State Library just renewed the Gale contract. As part of the renewal and at no extra cost, we now have access to National Geographic Kids, Business Insights: Essentials was upgraded to Business Insights: Global, and over 250 ebooks were added to Gale Virtual Reference Library. You may have read the article about the new Gale content in the August issue of Letter to Libraries Online (LTLO), the State Library's newsletter. This announcement is available on the OSLIST archive at http://oslis.org/oslissupport/announcements/2014/august-13-2014. If you have questions, please ask. Thanks, Jen P.S. You may have noticed that we are slowly getting the new graphics on OSLIS. When the update is complete, I will make an official announcement.

I just received another email from ALA?s Association for Library Services to Children about their latest blog post on planning and documenting storytime (details below). My favorite resource mentioned is the storytime planning sheet (attached). If I were still doing storytimes, this is what I would use for planning because it?s so simple and there is so much white space that during storytime I could glance at it to see what?s coming next. After implementing the storytime I?d jot down my notes about ?how it went? on the back of my planning sheet so months or even years later I?ll remember what worked well that I should use again and what needs tweaking before trying again. Do you have a storytime planning sheet that you like? If so, please share!

Life is far too complicated to try and make our brains keep everything organized and tidy, so we?ve got to turn to other methods. Of course, while this can be applied to anything I?m talking in particular about storytime. There are a lot of reasons to document and track your storytimes ? for your own personal use, for your yearly evaluation, to help train new staff members, to share with colleagues, and more.

Since starting my new job, I?ve been in LOVE with Jbrary?s Toddler Storytime Planning Sheet. I?ve talked so much about the planning sheets that members of my Early Lit team have also switched over! ? Write up a small ?How It Went? immediately after the program. On the back of my attendance sheet, you can find little notes like ?I Know a Chicken = STORYTIME GOLD? and ?[Child] absolutely lit up during Babies on the Bus today?. These small write-ups take very little time, but remind me of what materials I should use again. ? Take pictures. I take pictures of every flannelboard I?ve made and I took pictures of the crafts that I did. The flannelboard photos are organized on my blog and the craft photos mean I don?t have to keep containers full of example crafts. I can easily look at my flannelboard photos and remind myself of the materials I have available. ? Organize your materials. Don?t leave them all boxed up. (The exception to that is if you?re moving or changing jobs, which is when that picture was taken!) I?m proud to say that my flannelboards, puppets, and documents are now all at work where I can access them when I need to! ? Set your information free! I always remind friends and colleagues: I started my blog to keep a virtual record of my storytimes for me. So that I wouldn?t have a ridiculous paper trail and so I could access my storytimes from any computer with an Internet connection. If you haven?t thought about blogging for a personal record, now may be the time! How do you document your storytimes? Does your library have a document/program reporting process? Any great ideas that I missed?

Tiel Aisha Ansari of Portland, OR and Steve Jones of Corvallis, OR are the 2015 student contest co-chairs. All Oregon students, kindergarten through 12th grade, enrolled in public, private, parochial and alternative schools, and home schooled, are invited to submit a poem. There is no entry fee. The deadline for entries is February 10, 2015 (postmark). Ten unranked winners in each of four age categories receive $10 cash prizes. All forty winning poems will be published in Cascadia: The Oregon Student Poetry Contest Anthology. Each winner will receive a certificate and a copy of the anthology. The ten winning poems in both the middle and high school divisions are eligible and will be sent to the annual Manningham Trust Student Contest sponsored by the National Federation of State Poetry Societies (NSFPS). This national competition also awards cash prizes and publication in an anthology. Oregon students who have won awards in the national contest include South Medford alumnus Kylan Rice, whose poetry can be sampled online at http://dailydoseoflit.com/2012/08/21/poem-kylan-rice/ and http://www.softblow.org/kylanrice.html among others. Winning poems have also been featured in Chalkboard, the newsletter of the Oregon Council of Teachers of English; read them at http://www.octe.org/uploads/1/7/8/6/17860185/chalkboard.2014.spring.pdf Writing poetry to enter in the contest is typically a class project organized by teachers in the various types of schools. OPA urges parents and teachers to encourage students to enter the contest. This is an excellent opportunity both to encourage and to reward creativity in Oregon students. A note for teachers, from Steve Jones, Co-Director, Oregon Writing Project Collaborative at George Fox and Co-Chair, Oregon Young Poets 2015 Contest: COMMON CORE SUPPORTS POETRY READING AND WRITING Jim Burke in his recently published "Common Core Handbook" maintains that teaching writing well will always demand that teachers and students read widely in all genres, write daily with peer and teacher feedback with opportunities for student revision--while using mentor texts from all genres, including poetry, short stories and essays. Burke teaches us how Common Core supports this wide reading and writing in all literary genres. National Writing Project research also tells us that when writers strengthen their writing in any genre, they strengthen their overall skills as writers. Writers are people who write and write and write. So, teachers, encourage your students to write in all literary genres, confident that they will benefit and become stronger and more effective writers. Complete guidelines can be found at http://oregonpoets.org/contests/student-contest/ or obtained by sending a stamped, self-addressed envelope to: OREGON POETRY ASSOCIATION 1724 NE Prescott Portland OR 97211 or requested by email, Tiel Aisha Ansari, tielansari at gmail.com OPA is a not-for-profit association whose mission is to: ? build and sustain a diverse community of Oregon poets ? provide Oregon poets opportunities to exchange ideas and learn from one another ? further the appreciation of poetry throughout the state ? raise awareness of Oregon poets. The Oregon Student Poetry Contest serves to nurture poetic talent among young Oregonians by providing an opportunity for their poems to be widely shared and celebrated.

Attending the CSD Fall Workshop while in Bend! This workshop will focus on many topics that affect our relationships with schools, early literacy partners and our patrons. The CSD Fall Workshop is Saturday, October 11, from 10-3:30 at the Downtown Bend Library. Here are the topics: * Michelle Munro, from Ready2Learn, will update us on kindergarten assessment, so that we can create components of our storytimes that address the skills children need when entering kindergarten. * A representative from the Central Oregon Early Learning Hub will talk to us about all the hubbub about Hubs. What are they? What do all the acronyms mean? What role can we have in participating with the Hubs in our regions? * Katie Anderson will update us about the State Library and Ready to Read. * We'll have an open discussion about passive programming. This is especially relevant to those in small libraries with limited staffing, but we can all benefit from getting ideas about programs that require minimal or no staff involvement. Please be willing to share passive programming ideas you have tried. * Are you involved with an early literacy grant in your region? Please be ready to give a brief report on what you're doing and what you've learned. * Silent Auction. This is CSD's annual endeavor to raise money for our scholarship fund. Please bring along items to put up for auction. Clothing, jewelry, books, household decorations-anything is acceptable. We already have commitment from Phil Orleski with Permabound to have some books for auction, as well as books from Natasha Forrester's time with the 2014 Caldecott Committee. Bring your check books and wallets! You'll find registration information here. And don't forget about the Showcase of Performers on September 27 at the Salem Public Library, the Mock Sibert on December 13 at the Wilsonville Public Library (you won't believe who's going to be the guest speaker!!!), and the Mock Caldecott on January 10 at the Salem Public Library.

[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.

There is a great conversation on ALA?s Association for Rural and Small Libraries listserv about serving youth on the autism spectrum. I know some of this information has been shared here before, but as more and more children are being diagnosed on the spectrum (new reports suggest 1 in 68 children so, whether or not you know it, they are in your community and in your library) we should be aware of their special needs whether or not we?re planning programs/services explicitly for autistic youth. If any of you have other resources or advice to share, please do share it on this listserv! There are a lot of great resources to support libraries serving youth (and adults) with autism available on the Libraries and Autism: We?re Connected website: http://www.librariesandautism.org/newresources.htm. TechSoup for Libraries has some resources available on serving youth on the spectrum: ?

TechSoup also published a Spotlight article on Skokie Public Library?s work with accessible technology: http://techsoupforlibraries.org/spotlight/making-technology-accessible-to-everybody If you are considering including autistic children in your current storytimes or considering to start a storytime explicitly for autistic children, then here are two resources for planning and implementing what are typically called Sensory Storytimes: ?

Does anyone have experience serving families who have children on the autism spectrum? We are just starting to think about this. Our library will have a Panel Discussion with parents of children with autism during Disability Awareness month (October). I?d like to put out a survey to all the participants about what library services they find most helpful or what services they would find helpful or something like that. Any info on how to reach out to this population, any sample surveys or outreach materials would be SOOOO helpful! You can reply off the list if you?d like.

[cid:image001.jpg at 01CFD26E.EDB21420] Angela Johnson, a multi-award winning author of children?s and young adult literature, is coming to Portland, Oregon! Join OASL on Saturday, October 18th at the Embassy Suites Hotel, Portland Airport to hear her speak on ?Diversity, Race and Culture in Schools.? In fact, Ms. Johnson will be in Oregon for over a week, visiting schools and library branches for smaller sessions, but speaking at a public event on the 18th. Hailed as a leading voice in both young-adult and children?s literature, Angela?s books celebrate African-American families, history and relationships. As one book reviewer eloquently stated, ?Angela?s stories touch readers in ways that endure. Rich with memorable characters, lyricism and meaning, Johnson transports us to new places and keeps us there by exploring the threads that connect us.? Ms. Johnson is a three-time winner of the Coretta Scott King Award, and a two time honoree. She's won the Michael L. Printz Award, and is a recipient of an Ezra Jack Keats New Writer Award. Clearly, Ms. Johnson has a unique talent for reaching readers of all ages, and in recognition of her talent, Angela was named a 2003 MacArthur Fellow. Born in Tuskegee, Alabama in 1961, she grew up in Alabama and Ohio. Ms. Johnson?s presentation is a culminating event for a day-long OASL Fall conference for anyone interested in connecting, collaborating and celebrating good reads for K-12 students. Everyone is invited to join us at the Embassy Suites, Portland Airport for the whole day, or just for Angela Johnson?s presentation.

Once you've heard from Heather, you'll submit your proposal through the OLA website by September 30: http://www.olaweb.org/ola-conference-2015 The conference committee will review all the proposals in October and announce the accepted proposals in November. Hopefully my first e-mail didn't confuse or mislead anyone too much. This is my first rodeo, so to speak, and I'm learning as I go! Let me know if you have any questions.

If anyone would like to present at the 2015 OLA conference (April 15-17 in Eugene) please e-mail a proposal to bmiller at crooklib.org by Tuesday, September 30. In case you're curious, here's an overview of the survey results: CSD members are most interested in conference programs for school age kids (64%), with storytime share/best practices coming in second (54%). You shared lots of great ideas in the suggestion box, too! Besides requests for programming ideas, the topics I noticed most frequently were improving library services to Spanish-speaking patrons and incorporating apps/technology into children's programming. Let me know if you have any questions! I can't wait to read the proposals!

We now have access to National Geographic Kids (NGK) on OSLIS. What is National Geographic Kids? National Geographic Kids is a Gale database aimed at K-8 students. It includes access to National Geographic Kids magazine from 2009 to the present (3 month embargo), 200 National Geographic Kids books, and 500 kid-friendly and downloadable images. As the Gale NGK webpage points out, the database is full of authoritative nonfiction content, aka informational text, that supports Common Core and other standards. National Geographic Kids Webpage: http://www.cengagesites.com/Literature/776/national-geographic-for-research-libraries/ng-kids/ How Do I Access NGK? All statewide databases - the Gale suite plus LearningExpress Library - are available to the Oregon K-12 community via the Find Information pages on OSLIS. NGK is featured on both the elementary and secondary skins (versions). Remember that we have access to more Gale databases than we can feature. To see the full list of Gale databases, or common menu, click on PowerSearch on any OSLIS Find Information page. When prompted for a login, use the same credentials you use to access other Gale databases. If you do not know your district's or private school's Gale login, please ask me for it. Elementary Students: http://elementary.oslis.org/find-information Elementary Educators: http://elementary.educator.oslis.org/find-information Secondary Students: http://secondary.oslis.org/find-information Secondary Educators: http://secondary.educator.oslis.org/find-information How Can I Learn To Use NGK? You have a couple of options for getting familiar with National Geographic Kids. There are two short tutorials, one called Basics and the other Searching. Also, there will be two National Geographic Kids webinars just for Oregon school library staff and educators. As time permits, the trainer will also explain how to use the new Kids InfoBits interface. The first webinar is on Friday, September 5th at 8:30 am Pacific, and the other is on September 29th at 3:30 pm Pacific. One session will be recorded and available for later viewing. I will post more details about the Oregon webinars later. Please promote the learning opportunities with pertinent teachers in your building or district. Tutorials: http://solutions.cengage.com/gale-training/on-demand-tutorials/#N Why Do We Now Have Access to NGK? On behalf of the Statewide Database Licensing Program and after an RFP and evaluation process with the Statewide Database Licensing Advisory Council, the State Library just renewed the Gale contract. As part of the renewal and at no extra cost, we now have access to National Geographic Kids, Business Insights: Essentials was upgraded to Business Insights: Global, and over 250 ebooks were added to Gale Virtual Reference Library. You may have read the article about the new Gale content in the August issue of Letter to Libraries Online (LTLO), the State Library's newsletter. This announcement is available on the OSLIST archive at http://oslis.org/oslissupport/announcements/2014/august-13-2014. If you have questions, please ask. Thanks, Jen P.S. You may have noticed that we are slowly getting the new graphics on OSLIS. When the update is complete, I will make an official announcement.
