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. Q: What did libraries think of the print-only option last year? A: Libraries printed and distributed 11,563 Oregon summer reading certificates last summer! * 21 libraries reported that the certificates aren't important enough to pay for locally * 5 libraries said they didn't like the certificate designs last year, but may print them in future years if they like them * 3 libraries reported that they wanted to print the certificates, but couldn't find money locally to do so * 0 libraries reported technical issues preventing them from printing certificates -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The combined wisdom helped me totally rock my first book talks! Two third grade classes left buzzing about biographies and asking if we could do the Name That Person game show next time. :) (Paige, I believe it was your ALA blog and description of this that helped.) The book suggestions were great, and I had more checked out than I or their teachers expected. I also now will be tweaking it for next time, but also for 4th grade classes (and maybe even a 5th grade class down the road). Was happy to find some of the picture book versions in our public library to share with them as well. I also came across these two picture books that I particularly liked, in addition to other fabulous ones people recommended: On a Beam of Light: A Story of Albert Einstein, by Jennifer Berne Tallchief: America's Prima Ballerina, by Maria Tallchief, Rosemary Wells, Gary Kelley Those 2 aren't particularly brand new, though are by our standards. The kids were also buzzing because of the Taboo game buzzer I had for them to use during the presentation. That was almost as popular as wanting to guess. LOL. Plus it was a definite bright spot during a time when the schools are having to have door monitors, indoor recess, and other precautions due to the residual effects of the Malheur refuge occupation right now--meaning we have an occupation of sorts in town too.

If you can see the email below, view it online here. ?Katie ________________________________ [Search Institute] [red-gradient-bar] [7 Ways to Cultivate Students' Problem-Solving Skills]Parents, teachers, and other adults have developed a lot of skills and knowledge that can make it easy for us to solve problems. We've seen the situation before, and the solution may seem obvious to us, but young people are likely encountering the challenge for the first time. How do we help them tackle the problems themselves so that they develop the expertise they'll need to solve other problems in the future? Use these tips to help you think about how you support young people in solving challenges they encounter. 1. Encourage "playing with" the problem. Encourage young people to throw out lots of ideas, make conjectures, and consider many different possibilities--even some that are outlandish. Look at the problem from many perspectives. This flexible thinking is an important skill for forming better solutions than the first that come to mind. 2. Guide the young person to break a big problem into its parts. Then focus on aspects of the problem that the young person doesn't understand or that seem like they have more potential to be solved. 3. Ask the young person to work through the problem out loud. Not only does this help you coach the young person, but it also slows down the thinking process. 4. Model and talk about the problem solving process, rather than focusing on getting the right answer. Talk through the steps you take and ask the young person to do the same so that it's easier to learn. 5. Have the student work through the problem on her or his own. Give only as much assistance as you need to when the young person is really stuck. And when you do so, limit your guidance to questions or suggestions that will help the young person move through a specific issue without solving the whole problem for her or him. 6. Ask open-ended questions. Instead of, "Do you think that will fit in there?" you might ask a more open-ended question, such as, "What do you think it will take to get everything to fit inside?" Ask follow-up questions that encourage the young person to articulate their problem-solving process. This not only helps you learn and guide, but it reinforces the skills. 7. Give positive reinforcement when young people overcome an obstacle or master a new problem-solving skill. Be specific in highlighting what they have done or learned.

Project Outcome for public libraries is a no-cost resource that may help! If you answer ?yes? to any of the following questions, then Project Outcome might be right for your public library! ? Do you have anxiety about conducting a proper outcome based evaluation? ? Does your public library need to do outcome based evaluation, but you don?t have the time or resources to do it from scratch? ? Are you struggling to find a good survey tool to gather information about your programs for outcome based evaluation reports? ? Are you unsure how to effectively analyze and present the results of an outcome based evaluation? ? Are you considering paying to subscribe to Impact Survey? Project Outcome is free for public libraries until at least 2017 (maybe longer!) and also gives public libraries free access to Impact Survey. Learn more: https://www.projectoutcome.org/ Interested in trying Project Outcome? Talk with your library director about it. All public library directors should have received this email on 11/5/2015. If you want more information about how Project Outcome aligns with what?s going on in the Oregon public library community, read on! If not, skip the rest of this email. Project Outcome evaluates four desired outcomes across seven types of library services and programs. The four outcomes evaluated are patrons? changes in 1) knowledge, 2) skills, 3) behavior, and 4) attitude as a result of using library services. The seven library service areas these four outcomes are evaluated in are: ? Civic/community engagement ? Digital inclusion ? Early childhood literacy ? Economic development ? Education and lifelong learning ? Job skills ? Summer reading (all ages!) As an Oregon public library, you might use Project Outcome to conduct outcome based evaluations associated with: ? Edge Initiative (digital inclusion, education and lifelong learning, job skills) ? Ready to Read grant (early childhood literacy, summer reading) ? Statewide databases (education and lifelong learning, job skills) ? Optional: Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) competitive grants (Project Outcome service areas would vary depending on your LSTA grant) Questions about using Project Outcome for statewide programs?

As I mentioned in my last email, the presenter that we had for this meeting cannot make it because of personal reasons. This is going to give us more time to focus in our next steps, and as usual we?ll share experiences and concerns related to our work. One of the points in the agenda is the formation of committees. This does not mean that we have to work more, it?s just sharing the work and the responsibilities for our chapter to be successful. An example is a committee to work in the Mock Pura Belpr? Award. Thanks to the support of the Children Services Division of OLA, the first mock award was launched in December. Because of the positive outcome of this program and the significant number of librarians who attended the event, REFORMA Oregon will take the baton. I really enjoyed collaborating with librarians from all over the state and I would like to keep doing this (by the way, Oregon was the only state which organized a Mock Pura Belpr? Awards last year). It?s not much work, we only need your enthusiasm. In the meeting we?ll discuss the responsibilities and the why the need of these committees. Our chapter has demonstrated the quality of our work and we have received plenty of positive feedback to the point of being invited to be part of OLA as a round table. We all are doing a great job. Please, let me know if you are coming so I can arrange logistics. If you cannot go to Corvallis but you cannot travel, we can arrange virtual participation. Again, let me know if you?re attending.

Chicago, IL: ALA Editions. 978-0-8389-1344-4. For children, reading level and experience level are not always the same. Eager readers are often interested in ideas and topics that seem advanced, but situations and subjects that sixth graders can handle with aplomb may be emotionally confusing for a younger child. Early and eager readers deserve stories they can get into, information that's challenging and up-to-date, and ideas that are new and stimulating, all while remaining age appropriate. Here, children's lit expert Isaacs offers 300 book recommendations for early able readers ages 4-10, honing in on writing that will challenge but not frustrate young readers. Assisting librarians, teachers, and caregivers, this resource * provides recommended titles both old and new in a multitude of genres, including short stories, mystery, fantasy, adventure, picture books, poetry, historical fiction, classics, biography, folklore, mythology, fairy tales, animal fantasy, and nonfiction; * offers guidance on steering kids towards the best books for their age; * points to resources for finding quality books; and * includes an extensive index for locating titles, authors, and themes quickly.

The Bell Awards were created in 2012 to recognize picture books that provide excellent support of early literacy development in young children. The five winning books consist of one title in each of five categories representing an early literacy practice: Read, Write, Sing, Talk, and Play. The books, in their content, theme, or design, support caregivers' interaction with their children through early literacy practices. Research has shown that engaging children in these practices builds language skills and prepares children to become successful readers. The winning titles are: READ: Sloth Slept On, by Frann Preston-Gannon (New York: Sterling Children's Books, 2015) A group of children discover an animal sleeping in a tree. They set out to discover what the animal is and where it comes from by reading books, comparing it to other animals, looking at a globe, and telling their own stories about the creature. The various examples of print and reading in Sloth Slept On show the importance of reading not only books, but also signs, newspapers and globes to discover new and important information. WRITE: Inside This Book: (are three books), by Barney Saltzberg (New York: Abrams Appleseed, 2015) Three siblings create their own books from blank pages their mother stapled together. When the books are complete, they put them all together. Reading skills develop together with writing skills, and this story encourages children at all levels to explore reading, writing, drawing, rhyming, and storytelling. SING: Hiccupotamus, by Steve Smallman, illustrated by Ada Grey, (Wilton, CT: Tiger Tales, 2015) A small bird quickly learns that the jungle is a musical place. Hiccupotamus shows what wonderful songs can be created from everyday sounds with a little cooperation and imagination. Making music and singing songs together helps small children hear the different sounds that make up words and stimulates mathematical processes in their brains. TALK: I Don't Want to Be a Frog, by Dev Petty, illustrated by Mike Boldt (New York: Doubleday Books for Young Readers, 2015) A curious frog tells his father that he doesn't want to be a frog but would rather be the animals he observes and learns about in books. Talking with children helps them learn about the world, understand their experiences, and build comprehension skills. Responding to children's questions in a patient and loving way creates opportunities for bonding and wires children's brains for learning. PLAY: Tickle Monster, by ?douard Manceau (New York: Abrams Appleseed, 2015) Page by page, children are invited to transform a monster by tickling it and turning each scary piece into everyday objects instead. Tickle Monster offers an irresistible opportunity for a positive reading experience by allowing children to engage directly with the actions of a story. "Every year I am so excited and curious to see the announcement of the Bells," states Carol Edwards, SPELL Project Coordinator - Supporting Parents in Early Literacy through Libraries. "I have seen the short lists and have my favorites, but I seldom guess the winners. Any of the books on the short list are great titles for families to share with their children. It looks like all the books are winners!" The five award winners were selected from short lists announced in December 2015. The winning titles have been released with support materials that describe how each title supports early literacy development, and with suggestions for ways in which parents, caregivers, and librarians can extend the reading experience with children, through shared activities appropriate for home, childcare settings, and library storytime. The shortlists can be accessed and the information sheets can be downloaded for free at the CLEL website: http://www.clel.org/. To be eligible for the 2016 Bell Awards, a book must have been published for the first time in the United States between November 16, 2014 and November 15, 2015. Nominations for the 2017 Bell Awards, for books published between November 16, 2015 and November 15, 2016, will open in spring 2016. ### For more information, visit the CLEL Bell Awards webpages (http://www.clel.org/) or contact the Selection Committee at clelbellawards at gmail.com>.

The assessment is given each fall to entering kindergarteners and provides a snapshot of students' foundational skills in three core areas of learning and development: early literacy, early math and interpersonal/self-regulation skills. This year's results showed a slight increase in students' early math and early literacy skills across all populations and groups. The averages for self-regulation and interpersonal skills remained consistent with previous years' results. Students showing the most positive movement are African American, Latino, and Native American children, gaining an average of 0.4 points in early math and 0.7 points in early literacy. Asian children - highest overall - gained 0.6 points in early math and 1.7 points in early literacy. White children gained 0.4 in math and 0.5 points in early literacy. While the uptick in math and literacy results for Oregon's young learners is encouraging, the data also show that disparities still persist. Access to the kinds of early learning experiences that support children to enter school with the skills they need to succeed is still limited, particularly for students of color. "This overall positive movement upwards for all of our children is something we are celebrating, "says Megan Irwin, Early Learning Systems Director for the state. "However, we must continue to focus our attention on closing gaps in opportunity and access for populations of students our system consistently and historically has not served well." The Kindergarten Assessment provides state policymakers with valuable information about opportunity gaps within Oregon's Early Learning System, and helps drive investments in Oregon's youngest children to where they are most needed. The use of the assessment as a tool to drive investment is more important than ever following the $100 million in new funds prioritized for the early learning system by Governor Kate Brown and the Legislature in the 2015 legislative session, including $17.5 million to start new preschool programs. "Students in Oregon enter kindergarten with a wide range of knowledge and skills," said Deputy Superintendent Salam Noor. "We are working to build bridges between early learning providers, families and elementary schools so that we can continue to improve our supports to children and families in these critical early years. These Kindergarten Assessment results help us understand where our students are when they walk through our doors so that we can help improve our system, address gaps early, and prepare each student for future success." The Kindergarten Assessment focuses on the foundational knowledge and skills that are strongly linked to 3rd grade reading and future academic success. The self-regulation and interpersonal skills are measured through a survey based on teacher observation of the student during regular classroom activities and routines. Teachers spend time with kindergartners one-on-one as they work through the literacy and math assessments, asking them, for example, to identify letters, or to count the number of objects in a picture. "As a kindergarten teacher, gathering this information about my students really helps me gauge where they are in their development," says Wayne Bund, a teacher in the David Douglas School District. "I am able to get a snapshot of the kids and plan my lessons accordingly." This year the assessment was delivered in the fall, and data are made available to school districts and educators in the spring. Beginning in the 2016-17 school year, data from the assessment will be immediately ready for analysis and feedback so that educators and hubs can use the information to better inform their practice. The link to the Kindergarten Assessment data with specific numerical breakdown across student groups and an FAQ can be found here.

URL: From katie.anderson at state.or.us Thu Feb 11 10:10:30 2016 From: katie.anderson at state.or.us (Katie Anderson) Date: Thu, 11 Feb 2016 18:10:30 +0000 Subject: [kids-lib] Summer reading and early literacy ideas from the 2015 Ready to Read grant reports Message-ID: <640435851FD7CB4AB3C4BE0D1963BA2464774EA3@OSLEXCHANGE.osl.state.or.us.local> I just finished the 2015 Ready to Read Annual Report-read it here. While reviewing all your grant reports, I created a list of things you are doing that other libraries might want to know about. You are all doing good work so it was hard to choose, but here are a few that particularly jumped out at me-enjoy! EARLY LITERACY * Big Book Storytime: We were able to introduce more complicated story lines with these books, children regularly wanted to check out these books in their smaller format, and we were able to actively encourage participation in acting out the stories with these books. Parents reported their children started playing 'storytime' at home. * Family Storytime Solution: Struggling with babies, toddlers, and preschoolers in family storytime, we changed our format so at the beginning we do a short lapsit time while preschoolers work on a craft and then invite families with only lapsit children to an area in the library with a baby mat and developmentally appropriate toys where they can chat and play while the preschoolers (and some younger siblings) have storytime. * Own That Word: At each storytime the librarian chooses a particularly interesting and likely unknown word from one of the stories they read. The librarian tells kids about the word before the story, highlights it during the story, and at the end of storytime each child gets a book-shaped paper cut-out with the word on it to put in their "word bag." Caregivers are encouraged to use the word throughout the week and children are told that by the end of the week they will own that word as part of their growing vocabulary. Kids look forward to hearing what the word will be and eagerly collect it at the end of storytime. Some words they learned are: peculiar, nibble, contraption, sigh, curious, hunch, and distinctly. * Stay and Play: this year we created a stay and play area with age-appropriate educational toys, games, books, an alphabet rug, a book shelf for the items. More than 61% of storytime families stayed and played 10 or more times. Parents were more apt to look for books to check out while their children were playing. * Storytime Parent Poll: I have found that I really need to ask and listen to my parents about what they would like to see more of or less of at our storytimes. I poll my parents on a regular basis to make sure the majority is pleased. * You're Invited: Head Start teachers started having their "home visits" at the library so kids could come to storytime. Some families readily signed up for library cards, but many didn't. After our 'Welcome to the Library Night' and our personal invitation to get library cards, many families felt more comfortable with the library and library staff, and were excited to get cards. SUMMER READING * Best YA Books Read This Summer Booklist: We used a new teen summer reading log where participants rate the books they read over the summer with 1-5 stars. At the end of the summer, we compiled a Best of YA Books Read This Summer list and displayed them in the young adult section. * Engaging Outreach: At free lunch sites we weren't getting people to listen to stories or participate so we started a raffle. At every visit we asked youth to fill out a raffle entry with their name and what they like about summer reading. After storytime we would draw a couple names and those kids would get superhero capes and free books. This immediately increased the number of people participating in storytime at the free lunch site from 12 to 40-50 people. The prizes pulled them in, but once they started participating in storytime they got into it and would ask for favorite books to be read and re-read. After a few weeks the raffle entry forms quickly turned to, my favorite thing about summer reading is... "My sister reads me books at the park." and "I like it when my mom reads to me at night." I knew the program was a success when a little girl asked me, "Are you going to be here next week to read to us?" * Good Partnerships: "I was at a counseling appointment with my son and asked his counselor what we should do all summer. The counselor handed me your flyer and told me to go to the library!" * Library Fine Voucher: We gave out $5 library fine vouchers as summer reading prizes and they were very popular, 410 people used them at the time of this report. They have no expiration date so they may continue to be used throughout the year. * Non-Finishers Follow-up: We are following up with the families who signed up for the summer reading program, but didn't complete the reading activity. Our Friends of the Library agreed to pay all postage to mail a survey to these families with a postage paid envelope for their return responses. * Promotional Capes: Librarians wore superhero capes with the library's logo on it everywhere--during school visits, storytimes in the community, at the reference desk, etc. It immediately made library staff identifiable as being special and having an important message. Children paid attention! When they came to the library children saw everyone wearing capes and made the connection, "Oh, capes! Capes at the library! I remember someone came to my school wearing a cape and talked about the summer reading program. I want to join!" This year staff want jerseys with numbers and the Deschutes Library logo. * School Heroes: I asked each local school to pick a hero from their staff. We took 'Read' photos of them and made posters, bookmarks, and buttons. When I visited schools to promote summer reading, the kids were thrilled to see their school represented. We use buttons as prizes (like earning scouting badges or digital badges) and the kids were anxious to earn their hero button each week. This was a great way to get the schools excited about our summer reading program. * Survey Incentive: Families who turned in completed surveys at the end of summer were emailed a photo taken of their child "flying" in the library.

There will be someone from the program to talk about that end of it, but I thought an enthusiastic librarian would help promote the program.

With so many children's picture books published each year, how is the Caldecott Medal winning book selected? What makes picture book illustration distinguished, and how has that definition changed over time? Learn about the history of the award, how the award has transformed books over time, and how to look critically at picture book art. It's Mutual: School and Public Library Collaboration (6 weeks, April 4 - May 13, 2016) Instructor: Rachel Reinwald, School Liaison and Youth Services Librarian, Lake Villa District Library Both schools and public libraries have the same goal to help people become lifelong learners and effective and efficient users of information.

For well over a decade, Scholastic has published a compendium called School Libraries Work!, and they updated it in 2016. To download your free copy, go to http://www.scholastic.com/SLW2016/index.htm. After you enter your name and work info, you will receive a download passcode by email. This is how Scholastic describes the 30-page resource: School Libraries Work! seeks to empower librarians, classroom teachers, school and district leaders, policy makers, parents and communities by arming them with the most powerful research-based frameworks, recommendations, and support for school library programs. The 2016 compendium updates and builds upon the 2008 edition, reinforcing the most relevant themes from that report while highlighting recent research at both the national and state levels. All told, the research included in this compendium continues to show that school libraries and school librarians are a powerful force in the lives of America's children. As a side note, pages 23 and 28 reference the 2001 Oregon study done by Keith Curry Lance and others. School Libraries Work! could be useful to those who are trying to explain or demonstrate the value of strong school library programs to school and district administrators, parent or community groups, and more.

This will be coordinated by the Inclusion Committee, in partnership with the Early Literacy Manual Committee. This Mini Manual will be up to 25 pages front/back, 50 total pages of text, entirely in Spanish. It will keep the same arrangement as the English-language manual: an introductory chapter; followed by a chapter for infants, one for toddlers, and one for preschoolers. The Spanish manual will be shorter (about 1/3 the pages) than the English manual, with the thought that bilingual staff can get some content from the English-language manual, but use the Spanish-language manual for program ideas and implementation. We are seeking a writer, who will be paid by CSLP, for this manual. All of the details are in the attached job description. Since our deadline for having the manual written is the end of April, this work is on a very short deadline. I am hoping that you all might be or know bilingual librarians who would qualify and be interested for this position. Please share this job description widely and encourage people you know to apply. Thank you for your help with this task. We?re also seeking a small editing committee (3-4 librarians) to accept the chapters from the writer, read them, edit, and provide feedback on a tight schedule. Demco does not have Spanish-speaking staff to edit, so we are creating our own committee. The timelines for reading and responding are on the job description. We are working with the Inclusion Committee on this project, so a few editors might come from their group as well. Applications for the writer position will go to Cheryl Space, CSLP Inclusion Committee Chair, as stated in the job description. If you?re interested in serving on the volunteer editing committee, please let either me or Cheryl know. If you or other interested parties have questions, please contact Cheryl, cspace at provcomlib.org, or me. Thanks so much for your assistance with this project!

This is not a collection of public domain books! ?Publishers have generously contributed thousands of titles to Open eBooks. In order to ensure that Open eBooks provides books that speak to America?s diverse population and range of perspectives, librarians coordinated by the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA) curate the collection. The goal is to create a compelling and appropriately targeted set of thousands of titles?stories that could potentially spark a lifetime love of reading.? Is my public library eligible to provide free Open eBooks to youth? First Book?s website says, ?If your library hosts a program specifically focused on supporting children from low income families, you can register that particular library program.

Open eBooks, a new initiative and e-reader app that will make thousands of popular, top-selling eBooks available to children in need for free, is launching today. First Lady Michelle Obama is releasing a video today raising awareness of the new opportunity for children. The initiative is designed to address the challenge of providing digital reading materials to children living in low-income households, and offers unprecedented access to quality digital content, including a catalog of eBooks valued at more than $250 million. President Obama announced a nongovernmental eBooks effort in support of the ConnectED Initiative at the April 30 Kids Town Hall held by the White House at the Anacostia Branch of the District of Columbia Public Library. ConnectED is multi-pronged effort designed to provide all youth with access to high-quality digital learning tools. Since it launched, over 20 million more students have been connected to high-speed broadband in their schools and libraries and millions more are taking advantage of its free private sector resources. Open eBooks complements the new digital infrastructure to provide an opportunity for kids in need to have a world-class eLibrary in their homes. A coalition of literacy, library, publishing and technology partners joined together to make the Open eBooks program possible. The initiative?s partners ? Digital Public Library of America (DPLA), First Book, and The New York Public Library (NYPL), with content support from digital books distributor Baker & Taylor ? created the app, curated the eBook collection, and developed a system for distribution and use. They received financial support from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) and content contributions from major publishers. National Geographic announced today that they will provide all of their age-appropriate content to the app, joining publishers Bloomsbury, Candlewick, Cricket Media, Hachette, HarperCollins, Lee & Low, Macmillan, Penguin Random House, and Simon & Schuster, who made commitments providing thousands of popular and award-winning titles last year. The books in the Open eBooks collection were selected by the DPLA Curation Corps, which was established to ensure a diverse, compelling, and appropriately targeted set of thousands of titles?something from which every child could read, enjoy, and learn. The Curation Corps was selected through a competitive process from a pool of more than 140 applicants from across the country, and they bring their extensive experience helping children select titles in school and public libraries. Adults who work with children in need through libraries, schools, shelters and clinics, out-of-school programs, military family services, early childhood programs and other capacities can qualify for Open eBooks credentials by first signing up with First Book and then requesting Open eBooks access for the children they serve. Students can download the free Open eBooks app to their individual devices from the App Store or Google Play and enter their access code to start enjoying Open eBooks. ?We are thrilled to be a part of this fantastic initiative that will bridge a major gap in our society and help all children discover a love of reading,? said Dan Cohen, DPLA?s executive director. ?Maximizing access to our culture has been the Digital Public Library of America?s goal from its inception, and we are so delighted to join together with such great partners to make eBooks much more widely available.? ?The Open eBooks initiative recognizes the critical need for books ? in all forms ? among children growing up in families in need,? said Kyle Zimmer, president and CEO of First Book. ?We?re proud to support this ground-breaking effort to put high quality digital content into the hands of those who need it most, and to welcome the teachers and program leaders seeking access to these resources into the largest national network of educators serving kids in need.? ?The New York Public Library is proud to work with these partners on the Open eBooks initiative, in support of the White House?s ConnectED initiative that is perfectly aligned with NYPL?s mission to provide free and open access to information, education, and opportunity,? said Tony Marx, president and CEO of The New York Public Library. ?This program is the result of an extraordinary public-private partnership, which could not have been made possible without the support of many committed partners, particularly those in our libraries who really stepped forward to help move this vision into reality,? said IMLS Director Kathryn K. Matthew. ?Digital books open new doors to learning opportunities for students and can underpin brighter educational futures.

Access and Equality The Open eBooks initiative is a significant step toward more equitable digital access for all U.S. residents, addressing the need for free, quality digital content for children in pre-kindergarten through high school. Specifically targeting youth in need, Open eBooks aims to ensure that any device can be enjoyed as a tool to deepen a child?s love of reading. While Internet access and device availability remain major hurdles in closing the digital divide, a recent study funded by the Gates Foundation and published by the Joan Ganz Cooney Center finds 85% of families below the poverty line have a mobile device (tablet or smartphone) in surveyed households with children aged 6 to 13. Additionally, a growing number of students can access and borrow electronic reading devices, and connect to the Internet at school and local public libraries. Open eBooks is designed to complement the Wi-Fi, computer, and physical book offerings of public libraries and school libraries, and serve as a gateway to more reading. The Open eBooks Collection The catalog of content in the Open eBooks initiative includes contributions of the most exciting, top-selling titles from publishers. Using Open eBooks, children will be able to build their own virtual collection of favorites and access single titles. The major publishers have committed to make thousands of popular and award-winning titles available to students over a three-year period include: Bloomsbury, Candlewick, Cricket Media, Hachette, HarperCollins, Lee & Low, Macmillan, National Geographic Kids, Penguin Random House, Simon & Schuster. Snapshot of the Open eBooks initiative Each partner has made, and will continue to make, a unique contribution to the success of this initiative: * The app: The New York Public Library developed the app that allows users to easily access the full text and illustrations of thousands of titles generously contributed by publishers. * The distribution services: Baker & Taylor provided support with publisher relations, content management and the digital distribution technology. * The eBook collection: The Digital Public Library of America recruited and enlisted a team of expert librarians to curate the collection to ensure a diverse, compelling, and appropriately targeted set of thousands of titles?something for every child at any age and reading level to read, learn from, and enjoy. * Reaching the children: First Book, a non-profit social enterprise that provides books and educational resources to classrooms and programs serving kids in need, will tap into its network of more than 225,000 schools and programs to reach children in Title I schools, Head Start programs, military families, after school or community programs, and others serving low-income families. Qualifications The Open eBooks app is available through Title I and Title I-eligible schools as well as libraries, preschools, and community after school programs serving a minimum of 70 percent children in need. The program will also be available through schools and programs serving children whose families are enlisted in the armed forces, or serving special needs children. How do programs and classrooms get started? The Open eBooks initiative site, at www.openebooks.net, has full program instructions, including Frequently Asked Questions and links to program registration. From there, qualifying educators, librarians, community program directors, and others working with low-income children and youth must register their organization with First Book. Next, users will request a code and PIN combination for every student they serve or device available, and they should indicate the student?s grade level from one of three categories: elementary, middle or high school. Qualifying educators will be able to obtain enough codes to cover all of the students that they serve. Codes will correspond to Open eBooks Elementary Collection (for PreK ? Grade 4), Open eBooks Middle School Collection (for Grades 5 ? 8), Open eBooks High School Collection (for Grades 9 ? 12). An All Ages code will also be available. The registrant will receive a confirmation email with the codes and a letter for families and caregivers with instructions on how to download the Open eBooks app and input the code and PIN combination for their child. The app requires a device with an iOS 8.0 or later operating system or Android equivalent. The Open eBooks app allows users to instantly borrow up to 10 eBooks at a time to their digital device. Each borrowed eBook will be available for 56 days before it must be renewed, or the eBook will be automatically returned. Because of this automatic return process, there are no late fees or penalties for Open eBooks users. Students and their families can choose eBooks based on the topics that get them excited about reading and learning, and sort by reading level, grade level, or title. The app can be used anywhere with an Internet connection. The First Book Help Team can be reached at help at firstbook.org or by phone at (866) 732-3669 (8am ? 6pm EST).

Open eBooks, a new initiative and e-reader app that will make thousands of popular, top-selling eBooks available to children in need for free, is launching today. First Lady Michelle Obama is releasing a video today raising awareness of the new opportunity for children. The initiative is designed to address the challenge of providing digital reading materials to children living in low-income households, and offers unprecedented access to quality digital content, including a catalog of eBooks valued at more than $250 million. President Obama announced a nongovernmental eBooks effort in support of the ConnectED Initiative at the April 30 Kids Town Hall held by the White House at the Anacostia Branch of the District of Columbia Public Library. ConnectED is multi-pronged effort designed to provide all youth with access to high-quality digital learning tools. Since it launched, over 20 million more students have been connected to high-speed broadband in their schools and libraries and millions more are taking advantage of its free private sector resources. Open eBooks complements the new digital infrastructure to provide an opportunity for kids in need to have a world-class eLibrary in their homes. A coalition of literacy, library, publishing and technology partners joined together to make the Open eBooks program possible. The initiative?s partners ? Digital Public Library of America (DPLA), First Book, and The New York Public Library (NYPL), with content support from digital books distributor Baker & Taylor ? created the app, curated the eBook collection, and developed a system for distribution and use. They received financial support from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) and content contributions from major publishers. National Geographic announced today that they will provide all of their age-appropriate content to the app, joining publishers Bloomsbury, Candlewick, Cricket Media, Hachette, HarperCollins, Lee & Low, Macmillan, Penguin Random House, and Simon & Schuster, who made commitments providing thousands of popular and award-winning titles last year. The books in the Open eBooks collection were selected by the DPLA Curation Corps, which was established to ensure a diverse, compelling, and appropriately targeted set of thousands of titles?something from which every child could read, enjoy, and learn. The Curation Corps was selected through a competitive process from a pool of more than 140 applicants from across the country, and they bring their extensive experience helping children select titles in school and public libraries. Adults who work with children in need through libraries, schools, shelters and clinics, out-of-school programs, military family services, early childhood programs and other capacities can qualify for Open eBooks credentials by first signing up with First Book and then requesting Open eBooks access for the children they serve. Students can download the free Open eBooks app to their individual devices from the App Store or Google Play and enter their access code to start enjoying Open eBooks. ?We are thrilled to be a part of this fantastic initiative that will bridge a major gap in our society and help all children discover a love of reading,? said Dan Cohen, DPLA?s executive director. ?Maximizing access to our culture has been the Digital Public Library of America?s goal from its inception, and we are so delighted to join together with such great partners to make eBooks much more widely available.? ?The Open eBooks initiative recognizes the critical need for books ? in all forms ? among children growing up in families in need,? said Kyle Zimmer, president and CEO of First Book. ?We?re proud to support this ground-breaking effort to put high quality digital content into the hands of those who need it most, and to welcome the teachers and program leaders seeking access to these resources into the largest national network of educators serving kids in need.? ?The New York Public Library is proud to work with these partners on the Open eBooks initiative, in support of the White House?s ConnectED initiative that is perfectly aligned with NYPL?s mission to provide free and open access to information, education, and opportunity,? said Tony Marx, president and CEO of The New York Public Library. ?This program is the result of an extraordinary public-private partnership, which could not have been made possible without the support of many committed partners, particularly those in our libraries who really stepped forward to help move this vision into reality,? said IMLS Director Kathryn K. Matthew. ?Digital books open new doors to learning opportunities for students and can underpin brighter educational futures. IMLS is very proud to be a part of this unique initiative.? ?We hope that by donating our technology to this innovative program, we help expand access to information and create new reading opportunities for school-age children throughout America,? said George Coe, president and CEO of Baker & Taylor. In the future, the partners will expand the initiative by adding to the collection with new and enhanced content from publishers and public domain titles; broadening the network of Title I schools, preschools, libraries, and other programs; incorporating new features into the app; and researching and sharing the effort?s impact and best practices.

We?re really excited for this year?s workshop, and hope you are ready for our annual Silent Auction! We?re changing it up a little this year. Instead of single item auctions, we will be compiling the items you bring into themed baskets. Hopefully this will encourage your bids as the spoils will be great! Below are the themes for the baskets, so please look around your house or office for something that you can add to the fun. Also, don?t forget to bring your cash or checks to the workshop so you can join in the frenetic/uber-polite bidding that can happen at a silent auction for children?s librarians. We will most likely have a card reader to take credit/debit cards, but cash or check is always a safe bet. Basket themes: ? Cats - The lovely Carol Reich is already working on this one but there?s always room for more! It?s not like librarians are known for loving cats? ? The OLA Survival Kit ? Those of us who?ve attended a conference or two know that there are a few items you will definitely need to get through a long couple days of filling your brain with amazing ideas. Consider any Bend-related items that will make this year?s conference extra special. ? The Consummate Reader ? Books. More books. Then a few more books. Maybe another book? ? Playtime! ? Children?s toys, books, craft supplies, and more. This is the basket that will make your job easier! ? The Homebody ? Decorations, kitchen gadgets, maybe a comfortable throw, this is the basket for the lovable recluse. ? The Summer Reader ? Any item related to this year?s summer reading program theme: health and fitness. Anyone have a spare gold medal lying around? ? The Treat Yo?Self ? Scented lotion, your favorite chocolates, a cooling eye mask. This basket knows you?ve had a long day and wants you to put your feet up. There will also be a door prize that anybody who attends will be entered to win! Join us for a day of learning and fun!

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!
