They are collecting feedback directly from library staff on the 2015 CSLP summer reading materials available from Upstart. Please take a moment to go online and fill out the survey at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/CSLP_2015_Products. Your input in this survey will help Upstart provide CSLP with the best possible product mix at the most affordable prices. CSLP and Upstart are already almost done with 2016 materials so your feedback will likely impact the 2017 summer reading program. The survey will only be open until March 27, so enough time is left to collect the information for Upstart to present the results at the annual meeting in April. A few things to remember that may help you provide really useful feedback: ? Provide concrete suggestions so they really understand what you?d like to see. o For example, ?More teen incentives? is too vague. List a couple of ideas too like ?More useful teen incentives like ear buds, socks, school supplies, etc.? o For example, ?More in Spanish? is too vague. List exactly which items you think should be available in Spanish. ? The relationship between cost and quality. o For example, if you know of a similar product from a different company that costs less and is higher quality, let them know specifically what that items is and who sells it. This may help Upstart identify potential new manufacturers to work with. o If there is a particular product your community loves and you?d be willing to pay a few more cents per item for better quality, let them know. ? Don?t complain, make a suggestion instead. o For example, instead of ?My library didn?t like the art this year so used our own art.? you might suggest ?My library would like to see more variety in the art such as different types of heroes/athletes/etc, gender represented equally, different animals (i.e. races/ethnicities) so we have art to pick and choose from to better reflect our unique community.?

There is still time if you haven't. Registration is open through March 10. https://ola.memberclicks.net/index.php?option=com_mc&view=mc&mcid=form_188795 Parking: Parking is pretty straightforward, though limited for day-long parking. Library staff mostly park in the neighborhood around the library because it's free, unlimited-time parking, though it can be tight because of our proximity to OSU. Friday mornings are a little easier, but folks are encouraged to give an extra 10-15 minutes for parking and walking in, and to carpool as possible. There is a parking level under the library, but the longest meters there are 4 hours (though a quarter buys a lot of time) - and most of the meters are 2 hours. There are some disabled spaces down there, and in our ground-level lot, which also has some 4-hour meters. On Jackson Street, next to the library, there are a handful of 10 hour meters; 1 quarter buys over an hour on those. Folks will be routed to the main front doors of the library for entry that morning because we're starting before the library actually opens. The main entrance is on Monroe Ave/St, at the top of some stairs and a ramp. Folks in the parking garage will need to walk out of the garage and around the building to get to the front doors. Lunch: We will have an 1 1/2 hours for lunch. The lovely folks at the Corvallis Library have compiled a list of local lunch options. The room will also remain open if you brown bag it and want to stay on site. We are looking forward to seeing everyone!

Any ideas about good book recommendation tools or options that you could share directly with me would be great, even if they don't directly answer the question that was posed. I can compile the list and share with the listserv. Question: I use Netflix quite a bit. I?ve rated about 1000 films and television shows on a 1-5 scale indicating my interest in each. When Netflix says I will like a movie or television show, it is absolutely correct. I see films that other rated as a 2 or 3 but Netflix thinks I will rate as a 4.5 or higher. I always really enjoy them even though many I have never heard of before the recommendation. All that to set up the question, is there something similar for books for juvenile readers? This is prompted by an article on a blog of The Washington Post suggesting that 91% of readers prefer books they?ve chosen. Unfortunately, my daughter at 13 is having trouble selecting books for herself. It would be nice if there were a place to go, rate some titles to indicate preferences, and get a list of books the reader might find interesting.

There is a conversation about the idea of a summer reading traveling trophy on ALA?s Association for Library Services to Children listserv I think some of you may be interested in. The idea fosters collaborative competition?kids at the same school work together to compete against kids at another school, and it may get schools more engaged in the public library summer reading program. Q: I am interested in starting a traveling trophy tradition for my library's summer reading program. I hope that the collaborative competition will be motivating! Does anyone have suggestions about what a summer reading trophy should look like and/or where I should purchase the trophy? Answers: Our branch started a summer reading trophy program in 2012. When kids complete all three levels of our SRP, we recorded their school. [The trophy] was awarded to the school with the largest percentage of students who completed all three levels. We visited all of our area schools and handed out SRP timesheets to all students, so we had [the total student body numbers]. I'm sure you could also call your local school and get a total number of students. [Using percentages] leveled the playing field for our small parochial schools vying against the large public schools. I delivered the trophy when school began in the fall, and picked it up in the spring when we did SRP school visits. I included a letter congratulating the school on their achievement and letting them know it was only on loan for one year. As for the trophy itself, it came from my basement. ;) I received it as a joke years before. We bought a new plate for the front; I believe that cost $7 from our local trophy shop.

Any ideas about good book recommendation tools or options that you could share directly with me would be great, even if they don't directly answer the question that was posed. I can compile the list and share with the listserv. Question: I use Netflix quite a bit. I've rated about 1000 films and television shows on a 1-5 scale indicating my interest in each. When Netflix says I will like a movie or television show, it is absolutely correct. I see films that other rated as a 2 or 3 but Netflix thinks I will rate as a 4.5 or higher. I always really enjoy them even though many I have never heard of before the recommendation. All that to set up the question, is there something similar for books for juvenile readers? This is prompted by an article on a blog of The Washington Post suggesting that 91% of readers prefer books they've chosen. Unfortunately, my daughter at 13 is having trouble selecting books for herself. It would be nice if there were a place to go, rate some titles to indicate preferences, and get a list of books the reader might find interesting.

It has been really fun and motivational for the kids. We tally the completions by school each week and announce them at the weekly programs so that kids (and parents) can get excited about reading. So for the past 6 years, the same school has won! It has been very close some years. The trophy we use was from the Parks and Recreation Department basement. I had the trophy shop take off the sports stuff and a ?Flame of Knowledge? plus a plaque for the name of the winning school each year.

There is a conversation about the idea of a summer reading traveling trophy on ALA?s Association for Library Services to Children listserv I think some of you may be interested in. The idea fosters collaborative competition?kids at the same school work together to compete against kids at another school, and it may get schools more engaged in the public library summer reading program. Q: I am interested in starting a traveling trophy tradition for my library's summer reading program. I hope that the collaborative competition will be motivating! Does anyone have suggestions about what a summer reading trophy should look like and/or where I should purchase the trophy? Answers: Our branch started a summer reading trophy program in 2012. When kids complete all three levels of our SRP, we recorded their school. [The trophy] was awarded to the school with the largest percentage of students who completed all three levels. We visited all of our area schools and handed out SRP timesheets to all students, so we had [the total student body numbers]. I'm sure you could also call your local school and get a total number of students. [Using percentages] leveled the playing field for our small parochial schools vying against the large public schools. I delivered the trophy when school began in the fall, and picked it up in the spring when we did SRP school visits. I included a letter congratulating the school on their achievement and letting them know it was only on loan for one year. As for the trophy itself, it came from my basement. ;) I received it as a joke years before. We bought a new plate for the front; I believe that cost $7 from our local trophy shop.

Last Friday, the State Librarian sent the following email and attached white paper to all public library directors. This may be a great opportunity for you to start a conversation with your director about storytimes and summer reading. Below are some possible conversation starters: Storytimes: * How are our library's storytimes impacting reading readiness in our community? Attached you'll find a storytime self-evaluation checklist Multnomah County Library uses and an early learning with families self-evaluation that may help you talk about this. * Do we need to be more intentional about early literacy in our storytimes by using a tool like VIEWS2 and/or Every Child Ready to Read to increase the impact our storytimes have on reading readiness? * What resources and support do we need to make any changes to our storytime? Summer reading: * How is our summer reading programming impacting summer learning loss that economically underserved students often experience? * What are we doing to make an extra effort to engage economically underserved students in summer reading? * Which best practices of summer reading listed are we implementing? The best practices are listed on page three of the attached CSLP Summer Reading White Paper 2015. * Which components of high-quality summer reading programs are we implementing? * Which best practices and components might be most effective in our community? * Which of best practices and/or components should we focus our resources on to increase the impact of our summer reading program on summer learning loss?

I want to encourage all of you to take a look at the website they have developed that provides data on the value of early learning programs provided by public libraries as well as tools for library staff as they develop evidence based programming. I understand that they will be publishing the results of their research in an academic journal and the researchers are working on a text book that provides instruction on using the techniques that were found to be effective. Yesterday I received an e-mail from a colleague in Arizona with a white paper that has been created by NPC Research for the Collaborative Summer Library Program. This explores the state of research on the impact of public library summer reading programs on summer learning loss, the efffectivness of library summer reading programs, and best practices for summer reading programs. I have attached the white paper. I would encourage all of you to take a look at these two resources and share this information with your youth services staff, Board members, and local policy makers. I will provide more information as I receive it. I want to thank all of you for making Oregon libraries some of the best in the country when it comes to early learning and summer reading, let's keep it going.

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. Last September, 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.

The Libri Foundation is a nationwide non-profit organization which donates new, quality, hardcover children's books to small, rural public libraries throughout the United States. Since October 1990, the Foundation has donated over $6,200,000 worth of new children's books to more than 3,300 libraries in all 50 states. In order to encourage and reward local support of libraries, The Libri Foundation will match any amount of money raised by your local sponsors from $200 to $350 on a 2-to-1 ratio. Thus, a library can receive up to $1,050 worth of new children's books. After a library receives a grant, local sponsors (such as formal or informal Friends groups, civic or social organizations, local businesses, etc.) have four months, or longer if necessary, to raise their matching funds. The librarian of each participating library selects the books her library will receive from a booklist provided by the Foundation. The 600-plus fiction and nonfiction titles on the booklist reflect the very best of children's literature published primarily in the last three years. These titles, which are for children ages 12 and under, are award-winners or have received starred reviews in library, literary, or education journals. The booklist also includes a selection of classic children's titles. Libraries are qualified on an individual basis. In general, county libraries should serve a population under 16,000 and town libraries should serve a population under 10,000 (usually under 5,000). Libraries should be in a rural area, have a limited operating budget, and an active children's department. Please note: Rural is usually considered to be at least 30 miles from a city with a population over 40,000. Town libraries with total operating budgets over $150,000 and county libraries with total operating budgets over $450,000 are rarely given grants. Applications are accepted from independent libraries as well as libraries which are part of a county, regional, or cooperative library system. A school library may apply only if it also serves as the public library (i.e. it is open to the everyone in the community, has some summer hours, and there is no public library in town). A branch library may apply if the community it is in meets the definition of rural. If the branch library receives its funding from its parent institution, then the parent institution's total operating budget, not just the branch library's total operating budget, must meet the budget guidelines. A library that received a BOOKS FOR CHILDREN grant in 2012 or earlier is eligible to apply if it fulfilled all the grant requirements, including sending in its final report. The next application deadline is May 1st. Grants will be awarded May 15th. The names of grant recipients will be posted on the Foundation's website a few days after grants are awarded. Acceptance packets are usually mailed 14-18 days after grants are awarded. Please DO NOT waste money sending your application by Express Mail or Certified Mail. The application deadline is based on postmark date, not arrival date. Application guidelines and forms may be downloaded from the Foundation's website at: www.librifoundation.org.

You can access the corrected PDFs on the CSLP website www.cslpreads.org. From: Karen Yother Sent: Monday, March 23, 2015 4:52 PM Subject: Updated DVD content Hello everyone, Recently it was discovered that the PDF Forms Handouts on the CD for each program had edit guidelines on each page. Unfortunately this was not caught before the CD?s were distributed to libraries. Upstart has corrected the problem and Reingold has uploaded all PDF Forms Handouts for all 4 programs to the CSLP website. Once a member logs in, the forms can be found under Membership & Sponsorship --> Member Libraries --> Proprietary Downloads --> 2015 Graphics and Reproducible Files. Each program link directs you to an alphabetical list of all PDF forms from that manual. I apologize for the inconvenience.

They are collecting feedback directly from library staff on the 2015 CSLP summer reading materials available from Upstart. Please take a moment to go online and fill out the survey at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/CSLP_2015_Products. Your input in this survey will help Upstart provide CSLP with the best possible product mix at the most affordable prices. CSLP and Upstart are already almost done with 2016 materials so your feedback will likely impact the 2017 summer reading program. The survey will only be open until March 27, so enough time is left to collect the information for Upstart to present the results at the annual meeting in April. A few things to remember that may help you provide really useful feedback: ? Provide concrete suggestions so they really understand what you?d like to see. o For example, ?More teen incentives? is too vague. List a couple of ideas too like ?More useful teen incentives like ear buds, socks, school supplies, etc.? o For example, ?More in Spanish? is too vague. List exactly which items you think should be available in Spanish. ? The relationship between cost and quality. o For example, if you know of a similar product from a different company that costs less and is higher quality, let them know specifically what that items is and who sells it. This may help Upstart identify potential new manufacturers to work with. o If there is a particular product your community loves and you?d be willing to pay a few more cents per item for better quality, let them know. ? Don?t complain, make a suggestion instead. o For example, instead of ?My library didn?t like the art this year so used our own art.? you might suggest ?My library would like to see more variety in the art such as different types of heroes/athletes/etc, gender represented equally, different animals (i.e. races/ethnicities) so we have art to pick and choose from to better reflect our unique community.?

Librarians from 52 countries selected the top ten children's books in their country and language for inclusion in this annotated bibliography. Cover images and publisher information is also included. If you/your library want to purchase these titles, but can't find the publisher online you can contact the librarian from that country to ask for assistance-their name and email address is in the upper, right-hand corner of the first page of their country's entry. Criteria for Book Selection Each country was asked to submit ten picture book titles: * Suitable for children aged between 0-11 * Books that are 'favourites', that have lasted or will last the test of time, and are seen as classics, representing the best in picture books from that country * Must have been published by the country submitting them * Are available in the original language * Are of a good quality and a high standard of publishing * Have text and illustrations that work very well together * Reflect a positive message * Are excellent for reading aloud and sharing with children * Are in print and therefore still available for purchase Enjoy!
