You can create temporary play spaces in your existing space! Message-ID: <640435851FD7CB4AB3C4BE0D1963BA2452A5B69F@OSLEXCHANGE.osl.state.or.us.local> Play is one of the five early learning practices that help children develop early literacy skills. Some libraries have the space and funding to create permanent educational play environments, but most of us don?t have the space or the big bucks? Below are some ideas for creating temporary, portable education play experiences and environments in your library. Forest Grove Public Library uses their Ready to Read Grant to pay for their Saturday morning Early Childhood Discovery Time which is essentially a temporary, portable education play space. It includes toys, manipulatives, books, and more around a theme or early learning skill with simple instructions/ideas for parents to make the most of their play time with their children. Discover Time materials are put on a cart that they wheel into the public space in the library for a few hours on Saturday mornings to provide an educational play opportunity. When they?re done, the wheel the cart back into the storage/staff only space. Any other ideas for libraries with limited space and funding for education play?

You can create a temporary, educational play environment within your existing library space that promotes adult interaction, is highly inclusive, and creates opportunities for outreach to the underserved. Introducing, SMART STARTS! [Smart Starts (2)][Smart Starts (5)] Three years ago, we founded Smart Starts, a hands-on, interactive environment where adults help children develop early reading, writing, math and science skills through fun play activities. This drop-in program is offered several times over the course of a few days during weeks we are not holding storytimes. Patrons can come anytime during the posted hours and stay as long as they wish. The goal of Smart Starts is to provide a richer, more meaningful library experience where adults can play side-by-side with their children, enhancing learning experiences. Dad John Witte observed, ?The chance to interact with other kids in a learning environment is valuable both for the kids and the parents.? Each Smart Starts program has a theme, developed around an educational focus. Six to eight stations are created for each theme. PowerPoint slideshows display scrolling instructional slides featuring the various stations. Smart Starts has allowed us to embrace the community?s educational initiatives as well as reach out to the underserved. We encourage community groups to schedule special sessions just for their members. CREATE YOUR OWN LEARNING THROUGH PLAY PROGRAM Wanted: Head Coach. Find a staff member who will lead others in choosing activities and gathering supplies. You could then recruit one person to find science experiments, another to work on crafts and a third to handle parent tips and extension activities, etc. Once planned, various individuals can run the program while it is open. Their role is to help visitors get started and model conversation and play behavior. Themes Brainstorm themes. These can be derived from educational initiatives in your community or staff interest and expertise. Many of our themes have been STEAM-related. For instance, we have created programs featuring air, measurement, plant growth, patterning and weather. After you have selected themes, search preschool curriculum books and websites for ideas for the activity stations. These might include . . . Science Experiments [Smart Starts (9)]Kids love to experiment with hands-on science. We have explored how polar bears stay warm in the arctic, compared the speed of objects traveling down ramps and practiced using all five senses. Imagine a child?s face when they smell cotton balls soaked in vanilla, mint, lemon or garlic! Crafts Offer crafts that can be used to explore the subject further. A kaleidoscope promotes discussions of light. A feeder allows children to observe backyard birds. A texture collage may prompt additional investigation of the five senses at grandma?s house. These crafts should be accessible to a wide range of developmental levels. The emphasis is process, not product. I always say, ?If it looks too much like the sample, something is wrong!? Mini Library Gather a collection of your library?s books, puzzles, and other resources related to your theme ready for check-out. We set out a couple of beanbag chairs for those who want to curl up with a book. We also provide a sheet explaining the educational research and suggesting extension activities. These materials promote further learning and exploration of the topic at home. Games ?Go Fish!? Games are a fun way to encourage learning and repeatedly practice skills. Create and laminate your own matching games and sequencing cards. Ask for donations of educational games and puzzles or scout for them at garage sales and re-sale stores. Kids also love to play with real objects made into a game. Sort small, medium and large kitchen items. Match socks or mittens. Make sets of 2, 5 and 10 blocks. Other Activities Here?s where you can get creative and courageous! Here are some ideas we have tried ? with success! ? Build walls with stones and play-dough ? ?Mess-free? fingerpaint using instant pudding in a sealed plastic bag ? Bubblewrap hopscotch ? Climb in various moving boxes ? Guess the object based on its shadow ? ?Paint? a chalkboard with water ? String cereal, beads, dry pasta and straw pieces on chenille wires and bending them into letter shapes ? Create iSpy games with stickers, beads and sequins ? Pretend to be a gardener with a shovel, rake, watering can, spray nozzle, silk flowers, etc. ? Make up narrative stories with puppets or dollhouse figures Tips for Success Patrons are delighted that such an enriching program is not only available at the library, but free. Many intentionally add Smart Starts to their weekly schedule and arrange to meet friends. Mom Melissa Drechsel remarked, ?I am homeschooling my kindergarten-aged daughters this year and Smart Starts has been the perfect complement to reinforce some of the things we are learning about at home. We have enjoyed the many activities at Smart Starts and I have recommended the program to many other mothers with little ones at home.? [Smart Starts (8)][Smart Starts (7)][Smart Starts (4)][Smart Starts (3)] This program has also allowed us to interact with our patrons and attract previous non-users in a whole new way. Adults feel more comfortable to ask questions, and children enjoy playing with the library staff in this informal setting. The variety of activities and levels of engagement allows all children to participate, including those with special needs and beginning English language learners. We even host special sessions of Smart Starts for at-risk preschool classes, the local Newcomers chapter and young moms groups from area churches. Once set-up, we offer the space at various times over the course of a few days. Themes may be repeated every year. This type of program is also be easily modified to a smaller scale or for outreach at local community events. Author Diane Ackerman wrote, ?Play is our brain?s favorite way of learning.? Through activity programs such as Smart Starts, we can provide a fun, educational environment at our libraries to help equip our local children for a life of learning.

It looks like a beautiful picture book and asks a great open-ended question to discuss with children at the end. However, some strong concerns have been expressed in regards to the portrayal of Native Americans and soldiers which may be upsetting to some families. This is just a reminder to personally review all books before you read them in storytime or include them in other programming. We get busy so it can be easy to skip reviewing beautiful books with such positive reviews from trusted sources. However, you know your unique community better than they do and should decide whether or not a particular book is appropriate to share during programming. Books you choose not share during programming can be made available for families to checkout if they want to.

I hope you will join April Wittteveen and I at the OLA Conference for our program on Thursday, April 16, from 2-3:30 when we discuss youth services partnerships we've worked with here at Deschutes Public Library, including schools, maker groups, early learning organizations, and Boys and Girls Club. Some were successful, and some not so much. We'll present methods of evaluation, and discuss when it's time to let a partnership go. There will be time at the end for attendees to describe their experiences with partners, so I hope some of you will be willing to share what you have learned. Please join us in Eugene as we "cultivate creativity" with community partners!

I'm hoping we will be able to continue this program in years to come. As promised here is some information about our new, youth ticket incentive program. Basically, we want to make this program as easy and valuable for you as possible. As requested, here are the main points for your reflection. 1. You tell me how many tickets you would like to use for your Summer Reading and/or other library youth programs. We are eventually going to have a form on our website but?it?s a work in progress so please just call me. I would need all your contact information: Name, Library, Position, Address, Phone, and Email. 2. I mail you Free Admission youth tickets (ages 11 and under). 3. Each youth ticket would come with a 2-for-1 adult admission ticket. 4. At the end of the summer I will call, or email, and ask how many undistributed tickets you have left. (We want to eliminate as much waste as possible unused tickets will be reactivated next year.) You tell me your number and I will send a postage-paid self-addressed envelope so that you may return them. 5. I will also ask for your comments, observations, and suggestions about next year. How might we improve the program? What would work better for you? Do you want to meet me for lunch? Helpful, things like that. Bottom line is that we are a big statewide family event and we hope that our tickets enhance your reading program. I look forward to hearing from you.

Message-ID: <640435851FD7CB4AB3C4BE0D1963BA2452A6347E@OSLEXCHANGE.osl.state.or.us.local> There is an excellent conversation taking place via ALA's Association for Library Services to Children listserv about leveling early readers. Here are some elements of the conversation I think many of you will be interested in. Please 'reply all' if you have additional suggestions! Here are a few important points to remember: * Families are desperate for help with early readers! If we struggle with it, imagine how they feel not knowing what we know about selecting the right book for a child? * Lots of families get it stuck in their minds that their child should only read books at their level, potentially limiting free voluntary reading and reducing reading enjoyment for young children. * Many leveling systems only take decoding and/or comprehension into account-most don't take into account literary merit or child's interest. * Different publishers have different leveling systems. * The five finger rule doesn't apply to early readers! Here is a suggestion for all libraries: Create a brochure or bookmark that provides families Tips for Early Readers, the following tips are from Joliet Public Library. 1. Choose a book with a subject matter that interests your child, whether it be funny stories or school stories or information on animals. 2. Find a book that builds confidence and encourages your child to read. You want them to experience success and be motivated through struggles. 3. Regularly include informational books in your reading sessions. Non-fiction has more rare words and usually has a higher reading level, but an interested child will be familiar with the special terms. These books may require more parental support, but reading non-fiction is a fundamental skill of learning. 4. Try to make reading sessions fun! If your child is getting frustrated, take a break, keep it positive, and try again later. 5. Don't stop reading aloud to your child. Learning to read can be hard work-reading aloud together can keep the love of books and reading alive. Here is one suggestion for libraries that don't have staff capacity to review, level, and label early readers in their collection-be sure to read the next suggestion to get ideas about criteria for creating your leveled lists! Create beginning reader level book lists! Here is an example of how Pierce County Library did just that: * Level 1 http://tinyurl.com/plhwat8 * Level 2 http://tinyurl.com/omote3q * Level 3 http://tinyurl.com/pw2tvym * Level 4 http://tinyurl.com/pnsf7wc Here is one suggestion for libraries with the staff capacity to review, level, and label early readers in their collection: What we [Joliet Public Library] have done is create a 4 level system that is able to be consistent within our department. Two of us have worked together to develop the system, and we are the only people who label the books with levels. We deliberately have chosen to label using letters, so they cannot be construed as being the numbers of grades (1st, 2nd, 3rd). To aid in keeping people away from getting too stuck in the leveling--all of our Early Reader books are interfiled without regard to level. They just have an easier time finding those leveled books on the shelf. Here is what we use: * Level A-Mostly sight words with repetitive text and many visual clues. Few words per page. Still needs parental support. * Level B-Many sight words with some words to sound out. Simple sentence structure. Still needs parental support. * Level C-Longer sentence structure and some rare vocabulary. Longer text, for readers who are mostly independent. * Level D-A short chapter book with more complex sentence structure, vocabulary, and subject matter. An independent transition to chapter books.

Come play with us @ Storytime Share! Message-ID: *Please pardon cross-posting. * We?re all getting ready for the OLA Conference this week and I know there are lots of sessions to choose from. *We wanted to call special attention to our CSD-Sponsored ?Storytime Share? session on Thursday morning. This session is a little different. Here?s what you can expect: * ? A fun introduction to our different types of storytimes with the whole group: Baby/Lapsit, Sensory, PreSchool, and Gradeschool/Outreach storytimes. ? After the introduction and initial chatting, we are breaking into four different groups. Each presenter will be focused on a different type of storytime. ? You may choose one breakout group for focus, or move freely between multiple breakout groups. Note: Information will not be repeated but there will be materials to take home. ? These breakout groups are modeled after the ?Guerilla Storytime? idea. While your presenters are prepared to talk your ear off, share songs, stories, methods, etc. we really want to encourage group conversation, brainstorming, and sharing. The more heads are together, the more we all learn. A presenter may not know the answer to one of your questions, but I bet a fellow attendee does! ? Before the end of the session, we?ll all come back together for a group share. You?ll have a nice pack of resources to take home and hopefully a brain full of new ideas, materials, and strategies to use in your next storytime. You may have noticed we don?t have an ?all ages storytime? listen in our breakout sessions. Never fear! Each of the four presenters is prepared to address family storytime/wide age range questions within their individual sessions. Do you have questions about the session? Are there burning questions you want to be sure we address in our breakout groups? Email Taylor Worley at tworley at springfield-or.gov before Wednesday at 5:00pm and she?ll be sure your questions have at least one answer on Thursday. *JOIN US!

One of the templates is from Monmouth Public Library-the survey was the entry ticket into the grand prize drawing so summer reading finishers had to fill it out!

For starters the theme of construction/building for 2017 has produced one slogan ?to rule them all?....?Build a Better World?. It is something can encompass many things from construction/architecture, makerspace, community, global awareness, volunteerism to so much more. Art for this will hopefully encompass the variety of concepts that this theme evokes. People weren?t ready to commit to having just one slogan for all age groups for the future, but they are definitely open to doing it that way when it works. The 2018 theme will be centered on Music! If you haven?t had a chance yet, please check out the CSLP White Paper that shows the impact of summer reading. The PSA is up and downloadable (you will need to be logged into the website to download, instructions are here ). The Oregon teen video challenge winner from Hood River was huge hit at the conference, and got some of the loudest applause. https://youtu.be/nGr5x3m784k CSLP is in the process of hiring an executive chair. This person will be the face of CSLP, oversee contract work, work with partners, and help to create revenue. While at the conference, we try hard to represent your feedback from the survey. I am just going to plug here how important that survey is, because when it comes to voting and advocating for things, we are constantly referring back to your comments and suggestions. Of the artist you suggested, three made it to the final list that we were able to vote on. These three were also the top three that will now be pursued. These are Tom Lichtenheld, David Macaulay, and Chris Van Dusen. Some of you commented to please get tattoos that work on all skin colors. This year they took that feedback, and made tattoos with brighter colors, and will continue to do so. Other feedback from you that there was a lot of discussion of about clipart that will work across all ages. Hopefully they will take this to heart. There was a little more for this year?s ?Every Hero Has a Story,? and hopefully that will be a trend to build and continue. Any questions, please feel free to email me: jones.danielle.jones at gmail.com daniellej at multco.us Best, Danielle -- Danielle Jones ALSC's 2016-2017 Notable Children's Book Committee Member Oregon Library Association Children's Services Division CSLP Chair Oregon Young Adult Network Secretary work email daniellej at multco.us -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Those of us who live far from other libraries often lack opportunities to collaborate with our colleagues around Oregon. For those of you who haven't participated in a storytime share before, it's essentially a small group meeting for storytime presenters to share favorite activities and discuss solutions to problems the presenters might be experiencing in their storytimes. They're a) informal and b) super fun. A virtual storytime share would be conducted via a Google Hangouts video chat. Please send me an e-mail if you are interested in joining a virtual storytime share group! If you'd like to participate but don't have access to a webcam, you can apply for a CSD Scholarship to purchase one. I got my mom this $23 Logitech webcam with built-in microphone for Christmas a couple of years ago and she's had no problems with it. I've loved participating in CSD, but understand that geography and tight budgets make it hard for people at small, rural libraries to benefit from this awesome community. Hopefully, this (and other cool things like the One Stop Shop of free web-based professional development resources...going live soon!) will make it easier for all children's librarians in Oregon to get involved! Thanks, Barratt Barratt Miller, MSLIS Assistant Director Crook County Library 175 NW Meadow Lakes Drive Prineville, OR 97754 541-447-7978 ext 303 bmiller at crooklib.org Crook County Library - Experience the Journey! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Each certificate is available in .pdf format which everyone should be able to access and .pub format which requires Microsoft Publisher to access. The children's (full color) and all ages (black & white) certificates are bilingual, the teen certificate (full color) is in English only. Ideas to get money for printing certificates locally: * Use your Ready to Read Grant. * Ask your Friends of the Library or Library Foundation for funding. * Ask a local civic organization like Kiwanis, Lions, or Rotary for a donation. * Ask local businesses for donations and recognize their donations-e.g. create a bulletin board or display where you recognize all summer reading supporters, submit a newspaper article thanking donors, put donors' logos on summer reading fliers or other promotional materials. * Ask a local print shop to provide an in-kind donation-i.e. they would print the certificates at no cost to the library, and the library would acknowledge their contribution in some way. Thank you Rachel Humpert and Mackie Welch from Driftwood Public Library for designing the teen certificate! Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks, Katie Katie Anderson, Youth Services Consultant Library Support and Development Services Oregon State Library, 250 Winter St. NE, Salem, OR 97301 katie.anderson at state.or.us, 503-378-2528 [OYAN_logo_clr.JPG] Talk about new teen books, teen programming ideas, and more at OLA's Oregon Young Adult Network spring meeting Friday, May 1, 2015 at Corvallis-Benton County Public Library Q: Why aren't hardcopies of the certificates available anymore? A: In the past, printing and distributing hardcopies of the summer reading certificates was paid for by a donation. The donation funds are no longer available. The State Library surveyed public libraries to ask if they thought printing and distributing the certificates was a good use of State Library funds. The results of the survey were shared with the executive boards of OLA's Children's Services Division and Oregon Young Adults Network, and both organizations recommended that the State Library 1) discontinue printing and distributing hardcopies, 2) make a black-and-white certificate available to download for those who don't have a color printer, and 3) provide a few local funding suggestions. The State Library decided to follow these recommendations. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

[legal information ref center (large).jpg] EBSCO's Legal Information Reference Center Now Available The State of Oregon Law Library (SOLL) has subscribed to EBSCO's Legal Information Reference Center on behalf of all Oregonians. This resource is not part of the State Library's statewide database license, but because it is available to everyone in Oregon, we have permission to promote it and to add a link on OSLIS. Content & Audience The database contains a large number of NOLO legal reference books and various legal forms. NOLO publications are books on common legal topics aimed at non-lawyers, and they are a good resource for people looking to get a handle on common legal problems. They might also be useful resources for high school students studying business, finance, law, etc. Access and Login There are at least three access points. Oregonians can go directly to the database link or to the link on the SOLL legal resources page. Today I added a Legal Information Reference Center link at the bottom of the secondary student Find Information page on OSLIS. Since all student content displays on the equivalent educator pages, that means the database is also accessible from the secondary educator Find Information page. I also added access to the bottom of the elementary educator Find Information page, in an area that does not display on the student version of the page. Library staff, you are free to link this legal resource to your website and to encourage people to use it. Training Since Legal Information Reference Center is an EBSCO database, look on EBSCO's support pages for help with the product. There is a tutorial, and occasionally LIRC online training is offered. You can also search for database-related help right from EBSCO support's homepage. Or, if people need more assistance with this and other legal resources, they can contact their local county law library or the State of Oregon Law Library. If librarians want to know about the product, they can contact Cathryn Bowie, the State of Oregon Law Librarian, 503-986-5921 or cathryn.e.bowie at ojd.state.or.us. Soon this posting will be available on the OSLIST archive.

The State Librarian has tracked the number of full-time equivalent (FTE) licensed school librarians employed in Oregon public schools since the 1980-81 school year. Recently we also started tracking the number of FTE school library support staff. For figures and a chart related to the 33-year span, see the attached PDF. Here is brief snapshot: School Year No. of Schools Library Support Staff (FTE) Licensed Librarians (FTE) No. of Students Per Licensed Librarian 1980-81 1,284 n/a 818 547 2011-12 1,253 697 203 2,763 2012-13 1,246 681 144 3,915 2013-14 1,239 688 129 4,396 Percent Change from 1980 to 2013 - 84.23% +703.66% The data comes from the Oregon Department of Education (ODE). As of the last few years, some of the figures were pulled from the Oregon Statewide Annual Report Card. Note that the staffing chart on PDF page 8 of the 2013-14 report card, and for some previous years, combines figures for school library licensed and support staff. When we pointed out that this could be confusing since there is a separate row for general support staff, ODE added a note to the bottom of the chart. ODE staff supplied me with the separate figures for licensed versus support staff. This information could be helpful for anyone involved in school library advocacy efforts. For a spot of good news, I?m hearing increased reports about school districts hiring library staff, including licensed librarians. Questions? Please ask. Thanks, Jen Links Oregon Statewide Annual Report Card: http://www.ode.state.or.us/search/page/?id=1821 2013-14 Report Card: http://www.ode.state.or.us/data/annreportcard/rptcard2014.pdf 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.

Tutorials Message-ID: Please pardon the cross-posting. I thought these resources might be helpful in a public library setting, too. Happy last week of School Library Month (http://www.ala.org/aasl/slm)! Here are three resources that your staff and patrons might want to know about. Ben's Guide to the U.S. Government: Updated Website from Government Printing Office "GPO's educational Web site, Ben's Guide, has been redesigned and is now available as Ben's Guide to the U.S. Government. Named for one of our Nation's most influential Founding Fathers, Benjamin Franklin, Ben's Guide to the U.S. Government provides educational content for the public on the workings of the U.S. Government and U.S. history, with a focus on civics. Some highlights of the new site include: * Enhanced site content * Modernized look and feel * New images * Reorganized layout for a more intuitive learning experience * An educational, interactive game" http://bensguide.gpo.gov/ http://www.fdlp.gov/news-and-events/2243-gpo-launches-ben-s-guide-to-the-u-s-government Digital Compass: New Interactive from Common Sense Media Common Sense Media has a new tool, Digital Compass, designed to help middle school students develop digital citizenship skills. "Learn the fundamentals of digital citizenship through animated, choose-your-own-adventure interactive experiences, designed for grades 6-9. Invite students to explore digital dilemmas, make good (and not-so-good) decisions, and try out possible solutions through stories and mini-games - all without risking their real-world reputations." There's already a game for elementary students in grades 3-5: Digital Passport. Both can be played online or via the related app. https://www.commonsensemedia.org/educators/digital-compass http://www.digitalpassport.org/educator/materials https://www.digitalpassport.org/educator-registration https://www.commonsensemedia.org/educators/curriculum "What is a Periodicals Database?": Two Tutorials Through OSLIS, your students and you have access to periodicals databases from Gale. Your district or school might subscribe to similar databases from EBSCO or ProQuest. But, what is a periodicals database, anyway? (Basically, it's a big pot of informational text, or nonfiction, with articles gathered from newspapers, magazines, journals - that's the periodicals part - that is topped off with content from some reference books and multimedia sources.) Here are two short tutorials designed to answer that question and explain why good researchers don't just rely on the open Internet for sources. The tutorials are probably best for middle and high schoolers. Or, some of your teachers might benefit from watching them.

I received two emails this morning that are related, and I thought some of you might be interested in. 1) A research study was recently completed that provides evidence for something we've long suspected: Most of the children's and teen books with Native American representation in them are historical representations. Few books are contemporary representations of Native Americans. This study specifically found that 88% children's and teen books that represent Native Americans, represent them as they were before 1950 and 12% of books represent Native American's post 1950. I knew it was bad, but I had no idea it is this bad! Can your young Native American patrons find enough books in your library with kids like them that takes place in the present time? Read more: http://americanindiansinchildrensliterature.blogspot.com/2015/04/native-american-representation-in.html 2) Can your young diverse patrons find books in your library with kids like them doing regular kid stuff? Books that aren't about diversity, but just happen to have diverse kids doing regular kid stuff. Here's a short great article by Matt de la Pe?a about the value of these kinds of books: http://www.readbrightly.com/how-we-talk-or-dont-talk-about-diversity-when-we-read-with-our-kids/ 3) Now may be a good time to reevaluate your collection, do a some weeding and do a little buying to try to create more balance in your collection so your young patrons can find themselves in a book that's relevant to their lives now. As those all those books are being returned by your summer readers, take a minute to look at the book and determine if it should be re-shelved or if it should be withdrawn. You might even print a copy of the weeding section of your collection development policy and post it where is most convenient for you-e.g. tape it to your shelving cart, post it where you check-in books. After summer reading is over, get off your feet and take a little time to sit down and select new books to fill the gaps and balance your collection. I bet you could use the Ready to Read grant to fund this project;) Just contact me to request a change to your grant project.

Message-ID: <1344F043397FAE4B96280E464E6C43DD8882AAC6@mail> Hello Oregon Library Community! That's right, OLA's 2015 Legislative Day is tomorrow! Can't make it to visit Salem? Call or Email your legislators and let them know what we care about. The talking points and issue briefs posted to the Library Development and Legislation Committee's web page are available for you to help frame your conversation. Below are some email templates you could consider using if you'd like to email your legislators. TEMPLATE for State Representative Dear Representative ________, My name is ______ and as one of your constituents and as a member of the Oregon Library Association and as a librarian at __________________ I am asking for your support of libraries. There are three bills to which we'd like to call your attention: HB 2479, Reading for Success; HB 2650, Summer Lunch, Learn, Libraries; and HB 3523, Reorganizing the State Library's Mission and Governance. HB 2479: Reading for Success This bill: * Changes the names of Ready to Read to Reading for Success; * Expands the ages covered from 0-14 to 0-17; * Increases the minimum grant size to $1200 from $1000. * Includes funding for the increases - $140,000 for the biennium. The current Ready to Read Grant program is proven successful, with over 200,000 children participating in Summer Reading Programs in 2014 and with increased program attendance. In 2014, 21,000,000 items were checked out by participating children! Last year all 131 eligible public libraries applied for and received grants. This year we are asking for your support to: * Increase funding to $1 per child. In 2014 funding was at $0.94 per child. HB 2650: Summer Lunch, Learn, Libraries Although I support the concept of integrating summer reading programs at schools with summer lunch programs as introduced by this bill, it needs more work. Summer reading helps stave off student achievement losses over summer. I am asking you to consider: * Summer school-based programs should have certified librarians to guide children in their use of school library materials; and * Other models exist for partnering summer reading with summer lunch programs. HB 3523: Reorganizing the State Library's Mission and Governance This bill incorporates some of the recommendations formulated by the working group, convened in 2011, to describe how the State Library, State Law Library, and State Archives could collaborate more effectively. I support the bill as amended. The bill: * Provides for OLA (Oregon Library Association) involvement in recommending board members; * Acknowledges that collaboration is critical among the State Library, the State Law Library, and State Archives, as each has unique resources and services; and * Maintains the core mission of the State Library while addressing contemporary needs. Thank you for your time and your support of Oregon's libraries. Regards, YOUR NAME HERE Template for State Senators Dear Senator________, My name is ______ and as one of your constituents and as a member of the Oregon Library Association and a Librarian at _______________ I am asking for your support of libraries. There are two bills to which we'd like to draw your attention: SB 5519, Relating to the financial administration of the State Library; and SB 84, Standards for Accelerated College Credit Programs for High School Students. SB 5519: Relating to the financial administration of the State Library This bill is the State Library's budget that includes the Ready to Read Program. The current Ready to Read Grant program is proven successful, with over 200,000 children participating in Summer Reading Programs in 2014 and with increased program attendance. In 2014, 21,000,000 items were checked out by participating children! Last year all 131 eligible public libraries applied for and received grants. This year we are asking for your support to: * Increase funding to $1 per child. In 2014 funding was at $0.94 per child. SB 84: Standards for Accelerated College Credit Programs for High School Students Although this bill will not move forward this session, please know that OLA supports adding a standard that requires every high school with students enrolled in an accelerated college credit program to maintain a school library staffed with a certified teacher librarian and providing access to relevant and adequate information resources. We support this because: * High school students taking college credit need to use more sophisticated information resources. * School libraries with certified teacher librarians are key to students' educational successes. * Oregon's K-12 schools have lost many of their teacher librarians over the past 20 years. Thank you for your time and your support of Oregon's libraries.

Attached is a copy of statistics and ordering survey so you know what all the questions are in advance. The link to the actual survey will be emailed out to library directors in September to ensure that only one person per library fills out the survey. The result of the 2015 summer reading statistics and ordering survey will be compiled into the 6th Annual Summer Reading Brief. The survey has changed a lot so please be sure to look at the attachment! In response to your suggestions, I made several changes to the summer reading statistics survey this year. Primarily, all age ranges will be treated equal! You'll be asked to report the same statistics for young children, elementary school-age children, teens, and adults. Please keep in mind that Oregon libraries are at liberty to implement the summer reading program in whatever way works best for their communities therefore libraries may not track all of these statistics-that's okay, you don't have to report on anything you don't do. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks, Katie PS: This email was sent to all Public Library Directors so they know what statistics you'll be collecting this summer.

The press release is below and photos from the award session and more comments from Katie's nominators are also available on the CSD website at http://www.csdola.org/lampman-award.html. I would very much like to thank this year's Lampman Committee for their input and participation: past CSD Chair Korie Buerkle, Newberg; Julie Handyside, Cedar Mill - Bethany; Josie Hanneman, Deschutes Public; Becky Pearson, 2014 Lampman Chair, McMinnville; Nancy Spaulding, Cedar Mill Community Library; Mary Parra, Nellie Muir Elementary, Woodburn; Esther Moberg, Seaside Public; and Suzy Goolsby, retired. If you are interested on serving on the Lampman Committee, please contact me or the CSD Chair any time between now and September. It's a rewarding experience. And many congratulations to Katie! Oregon State Library Press Release "Katie began her work as the Youth Services Consultant at the Oregon State Library in June of 2006. She did not have years of experience as a youth services librarian but she did have enthusiasm, energy, and imagination. Those three traits, along with the experience she has gained over the last nine years, have contributed to her status as a librarian who has made a significant contribution to library services for children in Oregon. >From her first days at the State Library, she has demonstrated a commitment to children and to libraries that certainly goes above and beyond the responsibilities of her job. Her tenacity in attending meetings and gatherings that might yield a valuable partnership is legendary, as is her ability to communicate important information to library staff in Oregon that can then be used to improve library services at the local level. Her most impressive accomplishments, in a long list of accomplishments, include her work with the Commission on Children and Families, with funding from the Oregon Community Foundation and the Paul G. Allen Foundation, to bring "Every Child Ready to Read at Your Library" training to all corners of the Oregon. She was instrumental in securing the funding and worked tirelessly with the project manager to assure an excellent learning experience for all involved. She has also become an integral member of the youth serving divisions of the Oregon Library Association. Her participation in the Collaborative Summer Library Program goes above and beyond representing Oregon. She has persisted in speaking up at meetings to encourage changes that affect every child who participates in summer reading. Katie is deeply committed to excellent library service for children and their caregivers and is an excellent spokesperson for that in all corners of our state." - MaryKay Dahlgreen, State Librarian Carol Reich | Reader Services Manager | 2015 Lampman Chair City of Hillsboro, Oregon | Hillsboro Public Library phone 503-615-6514 | web www.hillsboro-oregon.gov/Library Follow us on Twitter @HillsboroLib and Facebook Member of Washington County Cooperative Library Services (WCCLS) | http://www.wccls.org -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
