But, of course, that's also the bad news for those of you who haven't registered yet. Saroj does request that we stick with the maximum of 50 attendees, so I'm afraid we cannot accept any more registrations. Thank you to those of you who registered, and please be watching for information about a pre-assignment.

Libraries are a locus of informal learning. As the number of STEM related careers continues to multiply, libraries can play a key role in fostering the interest and excitement for STEM learning that may be missing in schools. Through the generous support of a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, Kitsap Regional Library System (KRL) has developed a ready-to-use system that empowers libraries of all sizes to become community STEM leaders. If you feel like an "accidental STEM librarian" and are wondering how to get started, staff at this semi-rural library system will share fresh ideas and hands-on, practical advice for planning and implementing impactful programs. Learn how to take the lead with informal learning for youth and families in your community. Presenters: From Kitsap Regional Library, Shannon Peterson, Youth Services Manager and Seth Ciotti, BiblioTEC Program Manager This webinar is hosted in collaboration with the Association for Rural & Small Libraries.

The Oregon State Library, Oregon Library Association, and Oregon Public Broadcasting have partnered to put together some resources to help public libraries celebrate. * OPB's Oregon Art Beat episode "Discovering Beverly Cleary" is streaming on their website NOW! * Each public library received a Beverly Cleary birthday envelope that includes the following items. Public library directors were notified of the birthday envelope last week so ask your director about it. o Information about an Instagram contest for you and your patrons o 100 bookmarks with new, original art created by Ramona illustrator Tracy Dockray o DVD of the OPB's Oregon Art Beat episode "Discovering Beverly Cleary" which will air on OPB TV April 7th and 9th o Balloons: 3 that say "Happy Birthday Beverly Cleary" and 2 plain balloons * Gale has pulled out some of their content about Beverly Cleary into a Biography in Context portal for your convenience. This may be a great resource for students doing homework projects and anyone else who wants to learn more about Beverly Cleary. There are biographies, articles from academic journals, audio recordings of interviews, and articles from magazines and newspapers. You may want to link to this page from your website or promote it on social media during the month of April. Some of resources included in the Beverly Cleary Biography in Context portal are not part of Oregon's statewide database licensing package, but Gale has generously allowed all Oregonians access to them via our statewide contract during the month of April in honor of Beverly Cleary's 100th birthday. * Visit OPB's Discovering Beverly Cleary webpage and the Oregon Library Association's 100 Years of Beverly Cleary webpage for more resources and activity ideas. * Attached are templates if you would like to print more bookmarks to distribute for the occasion. The illustration, courtesy of Tracy Dockray, is used with permission from HarperCollins Books. The template with four bookmarks is probably best for printing in-house at your library and the template with one bookmark is probably best for sending out to a professional printer. If you use the four bookmarks template, be sure to print only one to make sure it prints properly (top to top). If it prints top to bottom, then you'll need to adjust your printer settings and test it again before printing multiple copies. Please let me know if you have any questions.

AR 4.0 It's not every day a regular kid like Archie gets to wake up at midnight. But today is Take Your Kid to Work Day, and Archie is finally allowed to ride along in his dad's taxi cab. He has been waiting eight years, eight months, and eight days for this moment to arrive. But he's about to discover his dad is no ordinary cab driver...In fact, he drives an intergalactic space taxi! All night long, he shuttles aliens from one corner of the universe to another. And being a space taxi copilot is no easy task: Archie must steer them into wormholes, keep them from crashing into planets, deal with a very unusual cat...and save the universe from an evil mastermind!

Even as babies, we humans pay close attention to faces. Observing another person's features and expressions tells us whether they are happy, angry, excited, or sad. And when we look at an animal, it's hard not to imagine that its face is communicating human feelings. This isn't true, of course. Squinty eyes, an upturned mouth, or another odd expression is probably there because, in some way, it helps that animal survive. Packed with many cool facts and visuals on where certain animals live and what they eat, this book captures twenty-five humorous?and very true?explanations of why animals look the way they do in order to exist in this world. [cid:image019.jpg at 01D1948E.1D6B8E70] Jelly Bean by Cynthia Lord. AR 3.6 Suzannah's always wanted a pet of her own, but she lives in an apartment where there are absolutely no pets allowed. What she CAN do is volunteer at a local pet shelter. There, although she's the youngest, Suzannah quickly finds herself making friends with the kids and bonding with the animals. She makes toys and treats for the animals. She feeds the cats and plays with the puppies! Then a girl just her age brings a guinea pig named Jelly Bean to the shelter. Suzannah promises that she'll find the little creature the perfect home. But what if no one wants an abandoned guinea pig? [cid:image020.jpg at 01D1948E.1D6B8E70]Lulu and the Rabbit Next Door by Hilary McKay. AR 3.7 When Lulu?s next door neighbor doesn?t seem to be looking after his rabbit properly, Lulu and her cousin Mellie devise a scheme to make him pay more attention to his pet. [cid:image021.jpg at 01D1948E.1D6B8E70] Quinny & Hopper by Adriana Brad Schanen. AR 4.0 Quinny has a lot to say. Hopper gets to the point. Quinny has one speed: very, very, extra-very fast. Hopper proceeds with caution. Quinny has big ideas. Hopper has smart solutions. Quinny and Hopper couldn't be more different. They are an unstoppable team. But when summer ends, things suddenly aren't the same. Can Quinny and Hopper stick together in the face of stylish bullies, a killer chicken, and the brand-new Third Grade Rules-especially the one that says they aren't allowed to be friends anymore [cid:image022.jpg at 01D1948E.1D6B8E70] Skateboard Party by Karen English. AR 4.7 Richard can't wait to show off his flat-ground Ollies at a friend's birthday party at the skate park, but a note home from his teacher threatens to ruin his plans. He really meant to finish his assignment on howler monkeys, but he just got . . . distracted. If only he could focus on his schoolwork, he wouldn't get into this kind of trouble! Can Richard manage to put off getting the note signed (and facing the consequences) until after the party, or will the deception make things even worse?

I just received the attached flier about a special offer on AWE Early Literacy StationTM and AfterSchool EdgeTM for Oregon libraries that are members of the Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP). All public, volunteer, and tribal libraries in Oregon are CSLP members. The offer is valid through June 15, 2016. Cynthia Busse will be hosting an AWE table in the vendor area at the OLA Annual Conference in Bend next week if you would like to talk with her in person about this special offer. You can also ask her questions via phone and email at 281-210-7499 or bussec at awelearning.com. 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.

I'm giving another presentation about Oregon public libraries to the Childcare Division in the Oregon Department of Education and their early learning partners. This time I'm presenting about what materials, programs, and services your library provides for childcare providers and play areas in libraries for young children. Please send photos and brief stories/information about your play areas and services to childcare providers by May 1st. If your photos have people in them, make sure you have permission to publicly share/release the photos. Thanks, Katie Do you want more guidance? * The purpose is for state-level early childhood professionals to tell their regional and local frontline staff to use your library because you offer lots of awesome stuff for them and the children they care for! * I'll be plugging the information you provide into a PowerPoint so the stories/information need to be really brief-imagine what you write will be on one PowerPoint slide that also includes a photo. * Some examples of things you provide for childcare provider are storytime kits they can check out from your library, rotating tub of books delivered to their childcare site regularly, storytime at their childcare site, early literacy training for them and/or the parents of the children they care for. * A play area might be very small and integrated into your library. It might be one section of shelves that, instead of books, has tubs of toys that kids/families can pull out and play with at a table or on the floor among the children's book stacks. Do you want to know the history? * The Early Learning Partners Forum is group of state-level early learning agencies and organizations that meets every-other month and is facilitated by the Childcare Division in the Oregon Department of Education. It is sort-of like my version of the regional early learning hub meetings many of you attend. * Last year the Forum asked me to present about summer reading at public libraries so I asked you all for summer reading photos and stories. * Two years ago the Forum asked me to present about early literacy at public libraries so I asked you all for early literacy photos and stories. * The facilitator of the Forum said she loves to have a library presentation at our June meeting every year because it's great to kick-off the summer with something that makes everyone attending the meeting feel good about:) 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 [http://www.ala.org/aasl/sites/ala.org.aasl/files/content/aaslissues/slm/AASL_SLM2016_468x60_0.png] -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Hi, I shared this information on the OASL listserv this week, but I thought others might be interested, too. ?Deputy Superintendent of Public Instruction Salam Noor, in partnership with local education leaders, is asking Oregonians to help reimagine education in our state. Community members are invited to?help build the Oregon State plan for the new federal Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) which replaces No Child Left Behind. ESSA allows Oregon to create a State Plan with increased flexibility in assessment, accountability, school improvement and educator effectiveness.? A couple of forums have already taken place, but there are upcoming ones in Coos Bay, Eugene, Hood River, Portland, Ontario, Redmond, and Salem. This is a chance to advocate for what you value in education. If you want to discuss the role of strong school library programs, know that libraries are specifically included in ESSA. ODE published a list of forum locations and dates and a proposed agenda. Another way to have a voice in ESSA in Oregon is to send an email to ESSA.Oregon at state.or.us. Emails to that account will reach ODE staff. ODE created four ESSA work groups: Standards and Assessment, Accountability, School and District Improvement, and Educator Effectiveness. Reviewing each group?s charter might help you prepare for speaking at a forum, sending an email, or responding to a survey. In the next few weeks, ODE is expected to send out surveys specific to the work of the four ESSA work groups. When I get word about that, I?ll post to the OASL listserv and will try to remember to forward that. There is also a different survey, this one from Oregon Rising. That project is affiliated with the Confederation of Oregon School Administrators, Oregon Education Association, and Oregon School Boards Association. While it is not sponsored by ODE, I suspect results will eventually reach ODE staff. Oregon Rising describes itself as ?a public outreach effort about what Oregonians want for their children and their schools. At the heart of our work is the prompt to dream big. In the first phase, we ask that you describe the education Oregon students would receive, if it were up to you.? Questions? Please ask.

The Oregon State Archives publishes the Oregon Blue Book (and the related website) and they are starting work on the 2017-18 edition. Secretary of State Jeanne Atkins wants to include Oregon school children's essays about our state's outdoor recreational activities. There is a specific prompt for elementary, middle, and high schoolers, and the brief write-ups must be received by Wednesday, October 12, 2016. For specifics, see this press release: http://bluebook.state.or.us/misc/news/blue-book-submissions.pdf. This activity could be done in the library, and it ties in nicely with the 2016 summer reading theme of wellness and fitness. Teachers and homeschooling parents may want to know about this student writing opportunity. For more information about the Oregon Blue Book essay contest, please contact Julie Yamaka at the State Archives (julie.a.yamaka at state.or.us or 503-378-5199).

Message-ID: <640435851FD7CB4AB3C4BE0D1963BA24648908C2@OSLEXCHANGE.osl.state.or.us.local> Hi! Many of you may have seen the following email from Debbie Reese about Indian Captive by Lois Lenski. Reese read Indian Captive and did research about the true story it?s based on. Reese learned that Indian Captive includes some inaccurate portrayals of what really happened and that the book, written in 1941, includes many of the negative, incorrect stereotypes of Native communities common during that time. Indian Captive is an award winning, classic book so many libraries will probably keep it in their collection. After reading Debbie Reese?s thorough review and gaining a better understanding about the specific content that is culturally inappropriate and potentially hurtful to Native youth using our libraries? What might we do, if anything, when? ? A children/parents asks us to help them find and check out Indian Captive? ? A student comes in asking for Indian Captive for a homework assignment? ? We learn a teacher we know fairly well is using Indian Captive in their classroom or including it on a reading list? ? Someone complains or fills out a reconsideration request form about Indian Captive? Please remember to be respectful of each other?s ideas, we?re trying to help each other figure out how to deal with a sensitive issue.

Few thoughts. We cannot, as librarians, suppress old books with negative stereotypes (Powell?s still displays The Adventures of Tintin openly), they are part of the history of this continent and, consequently, these racist books written by Caucasian male writers must be preserved by those libraries which already have them. It?s like trying to suppress/ban Mein Kampf. Can they be used for assignments? Well, it depends in what context. Comparative social studies are valid and important. Moreover, to learn from the past is crucial to understand our present and thus, plan for the future. Unfortunately, human beings don?t possess the memory that other animals have. Including it in a reading list? Again, for what? Is it to show how awful, but common, were and are stereotypes? Now, if it is just in a reading list because it?s appropriate for certain ages, and without a context, no way. We can learned about a racist dominant culture, but we cannot and should not promote it. I remember a friend who used to tell me that we should destroyed the colonial houses built over Incas? ruins in Cuzco, Peru. Erase the past? Mmm. Erase history? Someone complains? We work in public libraries and the First Amendment is crucial for their survival. We can just put the book aside (like many libraries do with books or magazines about cannabis or nude but artistic photograph books). Are we going to ban violence? Racism? Let?s educate ourselves, let?s open our minds. Let?s imagine, instead of banning or suppressing. If we fall in an intolerant place, like the one described or told in, especially, old stereotypical books, we are going to be condemned. This happens during authoritarian governments: the suppression of history (or the people?s history, the one which is not official, which doesn?t represent the interests of those in power.) Let?s not forget how during the W. Bush?s years the federal government tried to get information about patrons who took ?not the right? book. It reminded me of the dictatorship in my old country in the seventies and early 80s which was like living in the Dark Ages. From high school until I was 23 years old, I didn?t have access to books considered ?subversive?, unless friends smuggled them. Same with the arts. Remember Rudolph Giuliani in NYC in the nineties and early 2000s? Another dictator suppressing ?degenerate? art (remember that concept?) If I love our constitution, it is because its first amendment. This idea of tolerance is what we should be exporting, instead of war. Of course, this is my personal opinion.

Taking the First, is not considering needed shelf space in small libraries. I would argue that unless a library has developed a collection policy/mission to maintain a retrospective collection, it may have more important criteria to follow. The title will always be avail to inter library loan from academic and very large library systems. Also, the books target audience age range should be a factor. Are nine year olds likely to be assigned a comparative historical literature paper? And of course the library's service community must be considered. We are supported by our community, and like it or not, their voices need to be heard. We cannot simply make unilateral collection decisions based on a broadly written and highly interpretive amendment. ALA does a disservice to new librarians when they encourage a non-contemplative, simplistic fall back position of any kind. Discussion is always good. This is merely my long term opinion, thoughtfully developed over many years. Collection development for children does require a more in depth conversation. From books by Paul Goble to My Princess Boy, I have supported books that were challenged for a myriad of reasons. The First Amendment may be crucial to the survival of libraries, but so is tax money. Collection development is a fluid field requiring library staff who can thoughtfully articulate library decisions and encourage their communities to embrace the freedom to read. Or maybe I am just tired of dead white men influencing our culture ;) Respectfully, Deb Bogart, MLS Youth Services Collection Librarian, retired Sent from Deb's iPad > On Apr 28, 2016, at 2:49 PM, Marti?n Blasco wrote: > > Hi Katie: > > It was great to see you at the conference, and thank you so much for generating this kind of discussion. > > Few thoughts.

They are collecting data to learn what nutrition/wellness activities are being provided by out-of-school providers, like libraries, and where those health/wellness activities are located to identify gaps. This data will help OregonASK support programs and policies that make sure youth statewide have access to nutrition/wellness activities when they aren't in school. Below is the original email from OregonASK if you want more information. Please have one person at your library take this survey by June 1st and feel free to forward this email to other out-of-school providers you know. Questions?

If you are not familiar with us, we are a collaboration of public and private organizations that advocate for afterschool programs and professionals in the state of Oregon. There is more information on us, and our partners the Afterschool Alliance, at the end of this email if you would like to know more. OregonASK, in partnership with the Afterschool Alliance, is conducting a statewide survey of out-of-school time programs wellness and nutrition practices. Currently, there is no comprehensive database of this information, which makes it difficult to assess what practices are best and what resources are most needed. With this survey, we hope to collect information to better support wellness in out-of-school-time. Data from this survey will be used to create a report that will be shared with lawmakers in order to promote legislation and funding to support out-of-school wellness practices. We greatly appreciate you taking a few minutes to help us in this endeavor. If you are a program director or manager, please complete the survey by following https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/oregonasknutritionsurvey. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at nutritionsurvey at oregonask.org or (503)689-1656 (ask for Malachite Wyld). We will be collecting data through June, so you may see this email from us more than once. We don't want to pester you, but we do want to be thorough and collect the best possible data to share with lawmakers. Please pass this email (and the attachment) along to any out-of-school programs you might know and ask them to complete the survey. We are casting a broad net and trying to collect information on as many programs as possible. The more comprehensive our data is, the better we will be able to advocate with lawmakers on the behalf of out-of-school time wellness and nutrition needs. Once more, here is the link to the survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/oregonasknutritionsurvey Thank you so much for your time and support!

Hi, 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 34-year span, see the attached PDF. Here is brief snapshot: School Year Schools Library Support Staff (FTE) Licensed Librarians (FTE) Students Per Licensed Librarian Licensed School Librarians per School (FTE) 1980-81 1,284 n/a 818 547 0.64 2011-12 1,253 697 203 2,763 0.16 2012-13 1,246 681 144 3,915 0.12 2013-14 1,239 688 129 4,396 0.10 2014-15 1,236 718 130 4,391 0.11 Percent Change from 1980 to 2014 - 84.11% +702.74% -82.81% Overall library staffing increased by 3.92% from 2013-14 to 2014-15, and as part of that, the number of licensed librarians increased by .78% while the number of library support staff increased 4.36%. From what I?ve seen and heard, the number of licensed librarians should increase a bit more substantially for next year?s report. All good news. The data comes from the Oregon Department of Education (ODE). Depending on the year, some of the figures are included in the Oregon Statewide Annual Report Card (http://www.ode.state.or.us/search/page/?id=1821) or the last page of the Oregon School Directory (http://www.ode.state.or.us/search/results/?id=227). We ask staff at ODE to fill in any gaps. Note that the staffing information on page 8 of the 2014-15 report card, and for many 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. Questions? Please ask.
