They highlight how the Gale statewide databases can be used to build curriculum and to support day-to-day instruction. The link to part 1 of their post is below. Look for part 2 next week: http://blog.gale.com/. Driving Electronic Content Discovery and Usage: Collaboration - Part 1 http://blog.gale.com/driving-electronic-content-discovery-and-usage-collaboration-part-1/ Here are a few key points: * database content supports day-to-day instruction. For example, because Common Core stresses close reading of informational text, I demonstrate how teachers can identify an article within Gale and add a bookmark link to it on an assignment sheet. * Classes in Oregon City are created through the Gale CLiC (Classrooms in Context) platform. (Other platforms would function well, too.) * This easily updatable digital curriculum format allows "one-stop shopping" for staff and students for content. * The scope and sequence of units are listed in the left column of the page with each topic having links to specific content including articles at various reading levels, video clips, podcasts, charts, graphs, images, etc. * The ability to scaffold information for classrooms needing a variety of reading levels, and different learning styles, is extremely helpful to both the students and teachers. As a "living, breathing" curriculum, content can easily be updated as information becomes available. * In addition to Gale articles, we add video clips from Learn360, our video streaming database, articles from our World Book electronic encyclopedia, and, where appropriate, information from other databases, such as CultureGrams and Issues and Controversies in US History.

Message-ID: <640435851FD7CB4AB3C4BE0D1963BA245EF49BDC@OSLEXCHANGE.osl.state.or.us.local> After sending this email about library services for dyslexic patrons, I was invited to attend a workshop about dyslexia presented by Barbara Steinberg at Multnomah County Library (thank you!). Many of you know Barbara because she has presented 'Becoming Thinkers' about how children learn to read at an OLA Annual Conferences, CSD Workshop, and two Focus Institutes. This is the first in a series of three emails about dyslexia. Why should public libraries in Oregon learn more about dyslexia? * 5%-20% of school-age children in the U.S. have a reading disability-depending on definitions of the reading disabilities (American Academy of Pediatrics, 2011) * 80% of people with learning disabilities have dyslexia (American Academy of Pediatrics, 2011) * That is a lot of people; perhaps as many as 1 in 5 people have dyslexia! We will soon start learning how many people with dyslexia there are in Oregon specifically because two bills that were just passed into law by the Legislature this year. * Every student enrolled in public school in Oregon will be screened for dyslexia in kindergarten or first grade (Senate Bill 612) * Standards for approval of educator preparation programs must require that the program provide instruction on dyslexia and that the instruction be consistent with the knowledge and practice standards of an international organization on dyslexia (House Bill 2412) * Where will families with children recently diagnosed with dyslexia go for help? The library! Get more information about Oregon's new dyslexia legislation and statistics here: http://www.decodingdyslexiaor.org/legislation/ The second email will be about what dyslexia is and the third email will be about what libraries can do for people with dyslexia. Expect them in one and two weeks.

The following email was just sent to all public library directors. Please help your director by providing him or her with the summer reading statistics you were responsible for collecting (see attached working copy of the statistics survey). The online survey should only be filled out once per library, thus the link/URL was only provided to library directors. This survey does not include an opportunity to provide feedback, it is strictly for reporting statistics and ordering. 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 so be on the lookout for that survey from K'Lyn. Please let me know if you have any questions.

The deadline for completing this survey is Wednesday, September 30th. Please submit only one survey per library. You must fill out this survey in order to receive your 2016 summer reading manual and sweepstakes materials-including your free summer reading performer if that is offered next year to libraries serving fewer than 10,000 people to promote the summer reading sweepstakes. Before you take this survey you may want to fill out the attached working copy of the survey. If you do, then it should take you about 20 minutes to complete this survey and you can save your paper copy in your files so you have this information at your fingertips. Please keep in mind all libraries are at liberty to run their summer reading program in whatever way works best for their community. Therefore, your library may not collect all these statistics-that's okay, just skip the questions that don't apply. Please let me know if you have any questions or need help with the survey. Thank you, Katie Anderson PS: I will also send an announcement on the kids-lib and OYAN email lists to inform them that link to the summer reading statistics and ordering survey was emailed to you. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: <640435851FD7CB4AB3C4BE0D1963BA245EF5A866@OSLEXCHANGE.osl.state.or.us.local> After sending this email about library services for dyslexic patrons, I was invited to attend a workshop about dyslexia presented by Barbara Steinberg at Multnomah County Library (thank you!). Many of you know Barbara because she has presented 'Becoming Thinkers' about how children learn to read at an OLA Annual Conferences, CSD Workshop, and two Focus Institutes. This is the second in a series of three emails about dyslexia. You can read the first email here. What do you need to know about dyslexia? * Dyslexia is a neurological processing problem (their brain is wired differently). It is not a problem with vision. People with dyslexia can see just fine, they have difficulty manipulating language. * Dyslexia is characterized by difficulties with word recognition, spelling, and decoding. These difficulties typically are the result of a deficit in the phonological component of language. * People with dyslexia are of average or above average intelligence, motivated to learn, and have had adequate reading/writing instruction yet they struggle with reading, writing, spelling, and/or math. * Dyslexia is on a continuum, it isn't an all-or-nothing phenomenon. Some people have mild dyslexia, others have severe dyslexia, and most are somewhere in between. * Dyslexia has a genetic component, it can run in families. It is not dependent on intelligence, socioeconomic status, parent's level of education, race/ethnicity, native language, or gender. * Dyslexia is a persistent problem-there is no cure, it never goes away. * The only treatment for dyslexia is expert teaching. Effective teaching can change brain function-i.e. people with dyslexia can learn to read via the way their brain is wired! * There are accommodations that help people with dyslexia read successfully-e.g. a wheelchair is an accommodation that helps people with mobility issues get from one place to another, but it doesn't treat whatever is causing the problem limiting their mobility. * The library can help patrons with dyslexia by providing some accommodations and referring them to organizations that specialize in providing treatment and/or resources for people with dyslexia. Learn more about dyslexia by watching this 4.34 minute video. It is really worth less than 5 minutes of your time! Experience dyslexia "Through Your Child's Eyes." The third email will be about what libraries can do for people with dyslexia. Expect it in one week.

The Oregon Community Foundation contracted with Penny Hummel to do a statewide needs assessment of public libraries and make recommendations on how they and other foundations might better support Oregon public libraries. At the bottom of this email is the email Penny sent out on the libs-or listserv and attached is the full report. The State Librarian also sent this to all public library directors. Here are some of the key findings that pertain to youth services and the Ready to Read grant?s use of outcome based evaluation. ? Asked to rank the priority of eight library roles and the extent to which the library is successful in ful?filling them, library directors gave top rankings to Encouraging Reading and Early Childhood Literacy. ? In order to enhance early childhood learning, pub?lic libraries approach services for young children holistically and comprehensively, engaging not just the child, but also the people and systems that are invested in the child?s well-being. ? Interviews with library early literacy specialists and leaders in Oregon?s early childhood system indi?cate that the most significant contributions of public libraries to early childhood education stem from their expertise in early literacy: providing direct ser?vice to children and their caregivers, and providing early literacy training to other service providers. ? The main obstacle public libraries face in enhancing the early childhood system is a lack of staff capacity. ? Having traditionally focused on measuring inputs? and outputs?, public libraries are now including outcome-based evaluation in their ongoing efforts. At the national level, the Public Library Association is currently testing seven core performance measures at U.S. public libraries. In addition, current research aims to gather empirical evidence of the positive impact that programs such as storytimes and sum?mer reading have on children. Here are the recommendations to funders, like the Oregon Community Foundation and Meyer Memorial Trust, interested in supporting Oregon?s public libraries: ? Focusing support on particular areas of frequently expressed need, such as technology, collection development or community outreach ? Targeting support to encourage library innovation ? Targeting support to help the neediest libraries ? Providing proportionate grant support to all Oregon libraries [e.g. the Ready to Read grant?s funding model] ? Engaging Oregon libraries through a centrally managed statewide project. What does this mean? ? There may be different and/or better local grant opportunities designed to meet the specific needs of Oregon libraries. ? Funders have a better understanding of the obstacles library face and may make changes to improve the grants that libraries are eligible to apply for. ? Early childhood literacy, encouraging reading, and outcome based evaluation is important to funders, libraries, and communities.

It is attached, but you can also download it from The Oregon Community Foundation?s website or from my company website. First off, I want to thank the Oregon library community for your enthusiastic participation in the data gathering for this project, which included: ? 51 participants at eight focus groups around the state ? 86 of Oregon?s 131 public libraries (66%) participating in the survey--a tremendous response rate! ? 68 additional survey responses from Friends, Foundation and library board members ? 18 interviews, providing regional and national perspectives ? Innumerable instances of sharing insights, resources and support, as well as helping to promote the project. Truly, it took a village! My sincere thanks to all of you who have helped me make this project the very best it could be. I also want to thank The Oregon Community Foundation for commissioning this study, as well as the Lora L. & Martin N. Kelley Family Foundation Trust and the Betsy Priddy Fund of the Oregon Community Foundation for their support of this work. Earlier this week, OCF hosted a summit with other Oregon funders, where the overview I provided of the needs assessment?s findings was enthusiastically received. It is safe to say there is great interest in exploring new ways to support public libraries in Oregon, and that the needs assessment is viewed as a starting point to that effort. Stay tuned for future developments! As those who participated in the research may recall, in the needs assessment we explored how public libraries create resilient communities through the lens of eight different library roles. My friends at The Oregon Community Foundation would like me to emphasize that OCF?s competitive grant program supports each of these eight library roles, and to encourage public libraries to review their guidelines to consider how they might support your important work. Here are some links to more information about the opportunities that OCF provides: ? OCF Community Grant Program ? Developing a strong proposal ? Capacity building proposals to the Community Grant Program Again, my heartfelt thanks to the Oregon library community for understanding the importance of this project and making it a success.

Welcome back to another school year. Hope yours is off to a grand start! We here in PPS have already been teaching kids for four days, while most of you are just coming back! Crazy. Did you know that this school year all 4th graders in the nation can get a free national parks pass that gives them (and their family) free access to all national parks, lands and waters through August 31, 2016? This program is one of the President?s initiatives, and it?s called Every Kid in a Park. The site went live today! This is a great opportunity for those of us in libraryland, and I encourage you to take advantage of it. We can sign 4th graders up as a class (librarians can register all the fourth graders in your school); we can share this information with teachers and they can sign their classes up; we can help students navigate the site where they complete an online activity and get signed up individually; and/or we can create exciting, relevant curriculum around national parks and collaborate with teachers. So many options to showcase the library and, more importantly, to provide an amazing experience for our fourth graders! Several teachers in Portland Public have already been working together to collaborate on curriculum, and you?re invited to check out our TeachNPS site: http://teachnps.weebly.com/. There are links there to Every Kid in a Park (the President?s initiative), where students get their vouchers (each child will be issued a voucher with a unique code which is their pass) along with lots of other great resources and specific lessons (thanks to Jenny Gapp for managing the page!). I hope this year is your best year yet and that you and your fourth graders get a chance to explore some of our country?s incredible national park units this year, both in books and in real life!

I shared this with my media assistants. We are going to make an effort once a month to focus on a different park throughout the year for every 4th grade class during their library visit. In the effort to help promote it we have done the following: 1. Purchased eBooks of national parks to be available for student checkout. (These were pushed out from our Follett district shelf to all elementary buildings.) 2. Purchased a set of ?The Parkers? in eBook format to make available to students. There are quite a few parks featured in the set. 3. Promote the unlimited user National Geographic national parks series that is in our Gale state database: ?Mysteries in Our National Parks?. There are 13 books/parks in the series. 4. The National Geographic database also has a copy of ?National Parks Guide U.S.A.: The Most Amazing Sights, Scenes, & Cool Activities From Coast to Coast!? for unlimited use. 5. Issue a park pass to each 4th grade student for use with their family. The pass is good through August 31, 2016. 6. (Know the pass is good for every federal park, not just the regular national parks. There are over 2000 sites which will accept the pass.)

Message-ID: <640435851FD7CB4AB3C4BE0D1963BA245EF62717@OSLEXCHANGE.osl.state.or.us.local> After sending this email about library services for dyslexic patrons, I was invited to attend a workshop about dyslexia presented by Barbara Steinberg at Multnomah County Library (thank you!). Many of you know Barbara because she has presented 'Becoming Thinkers' about how children learn to read at an OLA Annual Conferences, CSD Workshop, and two Focus Institutes. This is the third in a series of three emails about dyslexia. If you missed them, you can read the first one here and second one here. What can libraries do to better serve patrons with dyslexia? Keep in mind different accommodations are going to work/not work for different people. * Provide accommodations: o Audio books o Ebooks with text to speech (Kindle and Audible's Whispersync for Voice is one example) o Ebooks with dyslexic font (OverDrive's OpenDyslexic is one example) o Colored overlays (Here is information about color overlays from National Reading Styles Institute, you can buy them from lots of vendors) o Know how to change the background and text colors on public access computers (Google Chrome's Olivia Reader is one example.) o Regular books published in dyslexic font (Amazon's Dyslexic-Friendly Editions is one example) o Specialty paper with raised lines or bright lines (Here is information about specialty papers from Understood.org, you can buy them from lots of vendors) o For literacy programs, remember it takes most people with dyslexia longer to read, longer to process what they read, many are poor spellers, and many have poor penmanship (Ideas: Use timed summer reading logs rather than number of books, don't ask someone you know or suspect has dyslexia open-ended questions about the reading during a program, forgive spelling errors, make it clear that listening to books is equivalent to eye-reading) * Refer patrons to organizations that specialize in providing treatment and/or resources for people with dyslexia: o Oregon Talking Book and Braille Library offers audio books for any Oregonian who cannot read or understand standard printed material as a result of a learning disability or brain injury. If your patron is interested, have them fill out the attached application and have it signed only by their medical doctor. Once signed just mail it to Talking Book (address is on the form) and we will begin their library service immediately. Service includes a free listening device that is checked-out to the patron indefinitely or they can download audio books to their own device. o Decoding Dyslexia Oregon (Barbara Steinberg recommends this be the first place you refer people with dyslexia-especially if they want more assistance than their school can provide, but they can't afford to pay a professional to provide expert teaching) o Understood.org's Parent Coaching and Learning at Home o IDA Provider Directory: Oregon to find International Dyslexia Association professional members who indicate they provide services to the dyslexic community (updated June 30, 2015) o Create a list of local professionals who provide services to people with dyslexia. You might start by contacting your local school, school district, or education service district. * Suggest online resources: o International Dyslexia Association o LD Online o National Center for Learning Disabilities o The Yale Center for Dyslexia & Creativity o Understood: For Learning & Attention Issues Please share any other accommodations relevant to libraries, referral recommendations, and resources you learn about!

Message-ID: <640435851FD7CB4AB3C4BE0D1963BA245EF62F03@OSLEXCHANGE.osl.state.or.us.local> Posted on behalf of my colleague Arlene Weible For those looking for more non-book audio content, most of the Gale databases available from the Statewide Database Licensing Program offer a "Listen" button when articles and other types of content are displayed. [cid:image005.png at 01D0F15D.52E50E20] This feature plays an audio version of the text, but also offers features to highlight or increase the size of the text as it is being read. There is also a setting to adjust the reading speed, which might be handy for dyslexic readers. Just click on the gear/wheel icon within the button to set these features. To get non-English audio content, use the "Translate Article" feature in the Tools menu (usually on the right of the article display) to translate to your language of choice, then use the Listen button to listen to the translated text. In many Gale databases, the Tools menu also offers an option to download the audio file in MP3 format to play later. While not the same quality as a professionally-read audio book, this tool is a great way to get audio content that could be appropriate for homework assignments or other kinds of short recreational reading. For example, see how this tool works with an article from National Geographic: http://tinyurl.com/o5gh7jh If you have any other questions about using these features in the Gale databases, please contact me!

After sending this email about library services for dyslexic patrons, I was invited to attend a workshop about dyslexia presented by Barbara Steinberg at Multnomah County Library (thank you!). Many of you know Barbara because she has presented 'Becoming Thinkers' about how children learn to read at an OLA Annual Conferences, CSD Workshop, and two Focus Institutes. This is the third in a series of three emails about dyslexia. If you missed them, you can read the first one here and second one here. What can libraries do to better serve patrons with dyslexia? Keep in mind different accommodations are going to work/not work for different people. * Provide accommodations: o Audio books o Ebooks with text to speech (Kindle and Audible's Whispersync for Voice is one example) o Ebooks with dyslexic font (OverDrive's OpenDyslexic is one example) o Colored overlays (Here is information about color overlays from National Reading Styles Institute, you can buy them from lots of vendors) o Know how to change the background and text colors on public access computers (Google Chrome's Olivia Reader is one example.) o Regular books published in dyslexic font (Amazon's Dyslexic-Friendly Editions is one example) o Specialty paper with raised lines or bright lines (Here is information about specialty papers from Understood.org, you can buy them from lots of vendors) o For literacy programs, remember it takes most people with dyslexia longer to read, longer to process what they read, many are poor spellers, and many have poor penmanship (Ideas: Use timed summer reading logs rather than number of books, don't ask someone you know or suspect has dyslexia open-ended questions about the reading during a program, forgive spelling errors, make it clear that listening to books is equivalent to eye-reading) * Refer patrons to organizations that specialize in providing treatment and/or resources for people with dyslexia: o Oregon Talking Book and Braille Library offers audio books for any Oregonian who cannot read or understand standard printed material as a result of a learning disability or brain injury. If your patron is interested, have them fill out the attached application and have it signed only by their medical doctor. Once signed just mail it to Talking Book (address is on the form) and we will begin their library service immediately. Service includes a free listening device that is checked-out to the patron indefinitely or they can download audio books to their own device. o Decoding Dyslexia Oregon (Barbara Steinberg recommends this be the first place you refer people with dyslexia-especially if they want more assistance than their school can provide, but they can't afford to pay a professional to provide expert teaching) o Understood.org's Parent Coaching and Learning at Home o IDA Provider Directory: Oregon to find International Dyslexia Association professional members who indicate they provide services to the dyslexic community (updated June 30, 2015) o Create a list of local professionals who provide services to people with dyslexia. You might start by contacting your local school, school district, or education service district. * Suggest online resources: o International Dyslexia Association o LD Online o National Center for Learning Disabilities o The Yale Center for Dyslexia & Creativity o Understood: For Learning & Attention Issues Please share any other accommodations relevant to libraries, referral recommendations, and resources you learn about!

Hi, I contacted someone at the Oregon College Savings Plan to find out the status of the Reading is an Investment program, and this is what I learned: "The Reading is an Investment program has been discontinued. We?re going a different direction with our outreach efforts." I will take this off my radar. Thanks to everyone who promoted the program and helped students participate over the years. Jen Jennifer Maurer School Library Consultant Oregon State Library 250 Winter St NE Salem, OR 97301 503.378.5011 jennifer.maurer at state.or.us Last year's message, posted 9/19/14: The Reading is an Investment program is sponsored by the Oregon College Savings Plan and aims to promote literacy and financial education among K-5 elementary students in Oregon. Today I learned from the program coordinator that Reading is an Investment is "being reevaluated this year because it didn't meet its target last year and participation was down. It will likely come back in the future in a different form."

Here are some great tutorials and articles from WebJunction. I particularly like the first one below: ? eReader Detective: Solving the case for your library patrons: Asking the right questions, tracking clues, and following paths of inquiry are part of the process to support your eReading patrons. With all the combination of eReader devices, file formats, and eContent providers, how can we possibly be prepared for each encounter? This free course can help you on your way. If you don?t already have a free account in the WebJunction Course Catalog, you?ll need to sign up to get started, but that will open the door to almost 40 self-paced courses on a wide range of topics to meet your learning needs. ? Stories of Inclusion: Inclusive Practices at Cultural Institutions: It?s been 25 years since the passage of the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act), and a new webinar series enlists advocates and experts to explore issues of accessibility and inclusion from the perspective of visitors, staff and program users in museums, libraries, archives and other cultural institutions. And to support this important topic, the American Alliance of Museums is inviting you to host a ?Watch and Talk? viewing event at your library. This is a learning experience enriched by watching a webinar and then discussing it with your colleagues, and there?s no cost to you as a host, or for your attendees! ? The Social Library: Great programming inspiration from around the country as libraries connect with their communities. One of the featured libraries is addressing early literacy, another is reaching out to millennials, and one library wins the most unique programming award of the week, with their annual car show.

I just received the attached flier about a special offer on AWE Early Literacy Stations and AferSchool Edge for Oregon libraries. The offer is valid through December 15, 2015. Please contact Cynthia Busse, 281-210-7499, bussec at awelearning.com if you have any questions. This is not an endorsement. Please remember to follow your library?s policies to review all possible resources to make sure they are an appropriate fit for your library and community. If you want to review similar early literacy software/computer products to determine if AWE is right for your library, this email about four similar resources may be a good place to start. Ready to Read grant funds may be used to purchase early literacy software/computers, but remember that Ready to Read?s early literacy grants may only be used to fund projects for children 0-6 years old. Many of these early literacy products are for children up to age 8 or 9 so you can?t use Ready to Read to pay for the whole thing. Please contact me for details if you decide to go this route, several libraries have done this before. 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 [cid:image004.png at 01D0358C.4523C4D0] [http://www.thewwwblog.com/images/blogger-logo.jpg] [http://www.aethlonmedical.com/assets/001/5130.png] [Picture] -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

On Saturday, December 12 from 10 to 4, CSD is launching for the first time the Mock Pura Belpr? Award. The event is going to take place at Hillsboro Public Library ? Main (Board Room), 2850 NE Brookwood Pkwy, Hillsboro, OR 97124. Next week I?ll be sending the agenda and the list of books to be considered for the award, so you have the time to review them and get them and, thus, we can discuss them during the program. The following is the bio of Beth Patin, the presenter for the first part of the program, and the theme for the presentation: Beth Patin is currently a PhD Candidate at the University of Washington?s Information School. Beth graduated from Loyola University New Orleans in 1999 with a B.S. in Education. She taught in the New Orleans Public Schools prior to pursuing a master?s degree in Library and Information Science at Louisiana State University. Beth?s research agenda focuses on the equity of information in two research streams: crisis informatics and building cultural competency through multicultural resources for youth. Both research areas are a product of personal experiences and the complicated questions rising from them. After becoming a teacher-librarian, her library was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina inspiring her to think about libraries and the roles they can play in disasters and the many different information problems arising in crisis contexts. In 2007, Beth was named an American Library Association Emerging Leader. Currently, she is a member of the Advisory Board on the Laura Bush Foundation for America?s Libraries. Title/Theme of presentation (this might change a bit as [Beth] work[s] on it for the next couple of months...) Moving beyond Heroes and Holidays: Location, Selection, and Program Development using Multicultural Resources for Youth This presentation will introduce the concept of cultural competence and argue why this is a valuable skill for librarians. Next, this presentation demonstrate four ways to incorporate multicultural programming in your library. Then, we will discuss resources for locating resources for youth, with a strong focus on materials for Spanish-speaking communities. Finally, we will end with a couple of activities librarians can recreate in their libraries. I?ve also attached the criteria for the award. Thank you so much.

Of course, this is reflected in our education and what it is published (in the media as a whole).? ? ?It?s almost impossible to find books written by Latino authors and illustrators (only 2% of what is printed is relevant to the Latino culture).? To that point, I will add that most of what is presented to our community as Latino culture is just regular consumer products with Spanish names, and in many cases the so call ?Latino heroes? do not even understand Spanish, or are some famous sports or Hollywood millionaires far removed from our Latino reality. ? Specifically on Latino culture publications: In most libraries in the United States the ?Spanish? section ?if there is any-- contains non Latino author books in Spanish. This will increase even more now that Penguin has bought Alfaguara. ? Librarians always tell you that they can?t buy your book because you are an ?Independent? writer. I thought that was the highest honor that an artist could aspire to. Not when it comes to having your books at the library. It seems that libraries in general are tied to a system where they can only buy products from the ?official? and ?traditional? industry, which is run of course by the big media empire. Sadly, our so called ?Latino culture?, image and products are established by this big machine; for them ?Latino culture? is just a commercial opportunity. ? To that respect, it will be interesting to ask our community what makes them Latinos, and if they ever read a book by a Latino author -- asking them if they read a book in Spanish will be perhaps expecting too much. BUT libraries and librarians are still key players in these difficult issues; they may not resolve them but they can keep them alive on the discussion table. Thank you REFORMA, I have faith in you.

As librarians working with the Latino and Spanish speaking community, we always have to be aware of our ?core beliefs? and don?t be afraid of making a point. Racism is embedded, permeated, in a minority of the planet?s population (yes, white people, including myself, even when I?m Latino). Racism is the tool of the privileged to perpetuate power. Of course, this is reflected in our education and what it is published (in the media as a whole). We are trying to select books for the Mock Pura Belpr? Award, and it?s like doing an archeological work. It?s almost impossible to find books written by Latino authors and illustrators (only 2% of what is printed is relevant to the Latino culture). Our presenter for the Mock Pura Belpr? Award in Oregon is going to touch this issue. A good space to have a discussion.

If you would like to know more about OBOB check out http://oboblsta.pbworks.com/ If you are new to OBOB or would like to better understand how it works, I highly recommend volunteering at Regionals and/or State: obobstatevol at gmail.com Here's a list for inspiration from small and large libraries across the state (and if I missed you, my apologies, and please add your library to the thread): Salem Public Library: Salem Public Library has OBOB books on a special shelf and we display the lists. (We order extra copies of these books and they fly off the shelves!) In the past several years, we had a Book club with activities in which we featured some OBOB books. Deschutes Public Library: ? We keep holds ratios very low at 2:1. Also we buy extra copies of the books on cd, e-books, and e-audio, if available, and keep these to a 3:1 holds ratio. ? We have an existing program in which we use our courier to delivery library books to the schools. This is not directly and OBOB program, but we do send a lot of OBOB titles out! (Library Linx) ? This year we are starting book clubs based off the OBOB lists, 3-5 and middle school. We plan to have discussion and practice questions at these clubs. ? In the past staff have been judges at the competitions. ? We are always available for book talks for classes, or assist teachers in gathering books; this sometimes involves OBOB titles. ? We print specific OBOB bookmarks with all the titles, for our customers. Canby Public Library: In past years, we've had minimal connection to our local OBOB teams, mostly just providing the books for check-out. This year, a local volunteer approached me with some ideas she had for raising awareness and community support. We had a meeting with the various school coordinators in our district (some are the school librarians, others are parent-volunteers) last Spring to ask how we could help. Some of our schools have been involved for a number of years (and have been doing a GREAT job at it!) while others are newer to the game and in need of more support. The main thing most of them asked for was MORE BOOKS! I was able to use some donation money to purchase more circulating copies as well as a few that we can give away. We have a specific "OBOB" shelf where everything currently available is displayed, and we have a few of each title that are part of a "Lucky Day" collection. (With so many other cities in our Network participating in OBOB, the items are in high demand and in the past, the shelf was often empty because everything was out on hold. With "Lucky Day" books, there is a shorter loan period - 14 days instead of 28 days - and no holds are allowed, you have to visit the owning library to pick up the book; it's your lucky day!!) The school representatives felt strongly that they didn't want a lot of unauthorized "practice rounds" taking place, so I'm just having "Reader's Circle" for-fun book discussion groups. We will have 4 monthly meetings, two for 3rd to 5th Division, and two for 6th to 8th Division (September thru December) and discuss 2 titles at each meeting. We plan on having some kind of book-related activity, serve a snack, and then we'll raffle off the give-away books. The community volunteer is also working independently on some fundraisers to purchase more giveaway books for the schools that need them. Lake Oswego: Here at Lake Oswego we will be hosting 2 OBOB book clubs a month between Oct-April, featuring one book each meeting Cedar Mill Library: Here is what Cedar Mill Library (Portland, OR) does for OBOB: 1. Buy multiply copies of OBOB titles for all divisions, mark them with a special sticker and shelve them together for an easy access. 2. Dedicate to OBOB a special page on our website with easy links to our catalog. http://library.cedarmill.org/kids/obob/ 3. For Grades 3-5: offer Mock Battles. The focus of this program is to introduce the battle structure to unexperienced teams. This is what it looks like: ? We register 8 teams for each session (we offer between 3 to 5 sessions). ? We add 1 individual to each team since there is always someone not able to make it, and we want to register as many kids as we can. (A team usually registers 4 kids) - Basically, each "our" team has 5 people registered. ? We have 4 stations (each has 2 teams battling). ? We need 8 staff/volunteers at the stations (2 per station: a moderator and a time keeper). ? The 9th person checks the kids in when they come in, go over the rules with the whole group, and act as a judge when there is a problem. ? The Mock Battle is set for 45 minutes. We start about 5 minutes after (latecomers!) and for the first 7 -10 minutes I explain the OBOB rules. ? We try to be as true to the real battle as possible. ? We sign up only 3rdand 4th graders who have never done OBOB before. ? We go through 3-4 sets during the program. 4. For Grades 3-5: Offer OBOB TYK (Test Your Knowledge) The purpose of this program is to give individuals an opportunity to test their knowledge of the books. ? This program is only 30 minutes. ? We provide paper, pencils and home-made clip boards. ? It's a PowerPoint presentation where a question appears on a screen and a librarian reads the question. ? Then after 15 seconds the answer appears and the librarian reads the answer. ? Kids are welcome to write the answer down if they wish. ? We go through 3 sets (each set has 8 "In which book" and 8 content questions - the same format as a real battle. ? We did 5 sessions last year and they were well received. 5. For Grades 3-5: Post several sets of questions on our website after we are done with our OBOB programs. For Grades 6-8: Post several sets of questions on our website. (We don't do it every year, but we are planning on doing it this year. Cottage Grove Library: At the Cottage Grove Public Library we start the excitement for OBOB in the summer. We book talk two of the titles each week at free summer lunch spots and offer extra summer reading incentives to kids who read OBOB titles and submit a short book review. This is the first summer that we have tried this, but I?d say it was a success. The titles we book talked checked out more than those we didn?t, even though we had a special OBOB book display in our library all summer that featured all of the titles. Beaverton City Library: Beaverton City Library hosts: OBOB Book Club (Grades 3-5) OBOB Book Club (Grades 6-8) OBOB Battle Practice (Grades 3-5) West Linn Public Library OBOB Book Club (3 books a month September-December and 4 in January) Newberg Public Library: OBOB Book Club for grades 3-5 (4 books discussed at each meeting Sept-December) Get to Know OBOB for Parents & Coaches 10/8/15 District-wide Elementary Practice Battle Day (run like official battles) in January 1/30/16 District-wide Middle School Practice Battle (run like official battles) in January 1/15/16 Book Club sets for some of the books, additional copies of all of the books & available audio books (thanks Ready to Read grant!)

Are you trying to create a children's area where families stay and play? Read Heather McNeil's article Early Learning @ the Library: A Production in Three Acts to find out what Deschutes Public Library is doing. If money is an issue and you aren't sure how much you can do to create a play area, you might try only the community sponsor component Heather discusses in her article. Are you trying to better help families with young children looking for dinosaur and princess books? Read the first section, "Picture Books Collection", in Meeting Patrons Where They Are by three librarians from Hillsboro. They are reorganizing not only picture books by popular subjects, they are also include juvenile non-fiction, and DVDs so ALL types of library materials about dogs for young children is one place. Hopefully this will inspire you to think of new things to try to better serve children and families in your libraries. Enjoy, Katie [Message-icon-grey]How are we doing?
