Laura Zeigen, Liaison Librarian at Oregon Health & Science University, sent the following information out on libs-or.?Katie ________________________________ From: Oregon Health Authority [mailto:oha at service.govdelivery.com] Sent: Tuesday, May 31, 2016 4:02 PM To: Laura Zeigen > Subject: Oregon Public Health News Releases - Update ________________________________ May 31, 2016 Media contact: Holly Heiberg, 971-246-9139, PHD.Communications at state.or.us Marijuana edibles become legal June 2: OHA provides information to keep children safe On June 2 edible marijuana products containing up to 15 mg of THC will be available for retail sale in registered medical marijuana dispensaries across the state to adults 21 or over. Although smoking marijuana has the added risk of harmful smoke exposure, eating or drinking marijuana still exposes you to THC, the chemical that makes you high. While you quickly feel the effects of smoked or vaped marijuana, edibles can take up to four hours to take full effect. Marijuana can make children very sick. -- You can help keep the children in your life safe and healthy by storing all marijuana products in a locked area that children cannot see or reach. -- If your child eats or drinks marijuana products, call the Poison Center Hotline as soon as possible at 1-800-222-1222. -- If symptoms seem bad, call 911 or go to the emergency room right away. Symptoms can include your child having trouble walking or sitting up, starting to be sleepy or having a hard time breathing. THC can affect people differently. Members of the public are advised to ingest less than the 15 mg per unit limit and wait at least 90 minutes and up to four hours before eating or drinking more. Temporary Oregon Administrative Rules go into effect June 2. The rules, under OAR 333-008-1500, are available online at http://www.oregon.gov/oha/mmj/Documents/Rulemaking/333-008-Marijuana-Early-Start-Temporary-Rule-Text.pdf. They allow a registered medical marijuana dispensary to sell to members of the public age 21 or older one unit of a single-serving, low-dose cannabinoid edible per day. A unit of low-dose cannabinoid edible can contain more than one edible as long as the total tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in the unit does not exceed 15 mg. THC is the chemical in marijuana that makes you high. Also on June 2, all edible retail marijuana products in Oregon must have a clear THC serving size indicated on them.

Thank you to everyone who voted in this year's elections. I'm happy to announce that Natasha Forrester Campbell will be this year's CSD Chair Elect! Her 3-year term begins on September 1, 2016 and she will be our fearless leader in 2017-18. I also want to thank Jeana McClure for running! It takes a lot of bravery to run for a position (any position!) in an election. I'm so glad she was willing to, in the words of my patronus Brene Brown, show up and be seen in this way. As those of you who read her profile closely may know, one of Jeana's many talents includes web design. Accordingly, Jeana has graciously agreed to be our Web Editor! Her predecessor, Taylor Worley, is ready to step back from CSD and focus on book reviewing. Stay tuned for more exciting news later this month! Unless something goes horribly wrong, we should be able to announce the author for the OLA 2017 author event very soon.

How can we help parents and teachers understand what the Newbery Medal is ? and isn?t? This 6-week online course will give participants a solid grounding in the history of the Medal and how it?s changed over time; an opportunity to read, discuss and consider past and present Newbery winners with their colleagues from across the nation; a chance to talk to former Newbery Committee members and a Newbery author, and suggestions for programming using Newbery-winning books.

Message-ID: <640435851FD7CB4AB3C4BE0D1963BA24648DAD6C@OSLEXCHANGE.osl.state.or.us.local> Jen Maurer has shared several ideas for promoting and celebrating summer reading in school libraries recently. Have you thought about how to engage principals, teachers, and school stakeholders in a conversation about summer learning and get their support for your efforts to promote and celebrate summer reading? The National Summer Learning Association recently published a tips sheet you can print and share with principals, teachers, and school stakeholders to get the conversation started and gain their support. View and print The Summer Learning Send-Off: Great Ideas for Principals, School Leaders & Teachers. For more information and resources, visit the National Summer Learning Association's website. I find their research briefs and tips sheets to be very good. You may be especially interested in the Top 10 Easy Summer Learning Tips for Parents tips sheet.

Hello, According to their website, Oregon Rising (http://www.oregon-rising.org/) is "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 [via a survey] the education Oregon students would receive, if it were up to you." The project is sponsored by the "Confederation of Oregon School Administrators (superintendents and principals), Oregon Education Association (educators and teachers) and Oregon School Boards Association (board members of districts, education service districts, community colleges and charter schools)." Survey results will be shared widely. Last week I learned about Oregon Rising at a community event hosted by the Forest Grove School District. They explained the project, showed some videos, had us team up to exchange thoughts and gave us time to complete the survey. Upon taking the survey, it occurred to me that this is a great opportunity to advocate for strong school library programs. I urge you to fill out the survey to document what you value in K-12 education. If that includes strong school library programs, here are some talking points you might share, although you are encouraged to add your own voice to the message. There are several opportunities to add open-ended input. For example, at the end of question 8 about priorities, one can include in the "Other" section something similar to "strong school library programs that include a licensed teacher-librarian." Or, this could be addressed directly in questions 6 or 12, or in later questions. No questions are mandatory. That enables you to click through the entire survey to preview the questions before answering them. * Strong school library programs correlate with increased student achievement in reading and on standardized tests. This is supported by impact studies conducted in numerous states, including Oregon. * The presence of a quality school library program that includes instruction from a licensed teacher-librarian, assistance from support staff, access to a current and plentiful collection, and access to the Internet and technology has the most impact on students, especially those in poverty. * Teacher-librarians teach to national standards and the Oregon School Library Standards, which include instruction in information literacy (how to do research and make your own learning from information), reading engagement (encourage lifelong reading), social responsibility (ethical behavior), and technology integration (using technology to support learning and creating). In the end, this fosters the development of critical thinking skills in students. * Teacher-librarians come into contact with students across several years. For that reason, there is an extra opportunity for connection with students, defining and fostering their interests in reading and other areas and facilitating growth in information literacy (how to do research) and other skills. Also, the library can be a key place for after school programs and activities that extend the school day. * Common Core calls for short and sustained research projects. Teacher-librarians help teachers update research projects to make them more meaningful to students and help students develop questions, assess the reliability of information, synthesize information from multiple sources to form arguments, understand when and how to credit information, and more. These are lifelong skills necessary for success in college and valued by employers. * In Oregon, the number of full-time equivalent teacher-librarians employed in K-12 public schools dropped from 818 during the 1980-81 school year to 130 in 2014-15. Despite Oregon Administrative Rule 581-022-1520 that calls for a "coordinated media program" that "includes instruction" in several areas, library media instruction is often not happening. Filling out the survey should take no more than 10 to 15 minutes, and it closes on Friday, June 10th. Please share this information with others, including your non-library colleagues and friends.

Attached is the presentation about play in Oregon public libraries last week. Of all the presentations I've given for the early childhood people at the state level, I think this is the one that surprised them the most. They were very supportive and enthusiastic of the work you are doing around play as one of the five early literacy practices! Hopefully they will spread the word to the early childhood professionals they work with in your communities. All the photos in the presentation say which library they are from so if you have any questions, contact that library and ask what they're doing, where they got their toys, etc. Library contact information is available via the Oregon Library Directory. Keep up the great work!

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...

If you decide to apply, it may be helpful to know OCF partnered with other foundations to help fund the Oregon Parenting Education Collaborative, partnered with Paul G. Allen Family Foundation to fund Reading for Healthy Families, and funded last year's Oregon Public Library Needs Assessment. If you have questions or want assistance from OCF staff, identify your local OCF staff person on their website.-Katie ________________________________ Hello. In 2015, The Oregon Community Foundation (OCF) partnered with our donors to invest in a statewide needs assessment of Oregon public libraries. Library leaders across the state participated in focus groups, personal interviews and responded to a survey to identify the greatest needs of Oregon public libraries. We are grateful for the library community's involvement in this research effort, which has garnered national attention as the first-ever needs assessment conducted of Oregon's public libraries. In the last Community Grant Program cycle, we received more funding requests from Oregon libraries than ever before. While the application process is competitive, we encourage you to apply for funding should you have a project that aligns with the Community Grant Program guidelines. The next application deadline is July 15th. We look forward to our ongoing partnership with you and are grateful for the important role you play in strengthening Oregon communities.

Above and Beyond: Developing a Culture of Organizational Citizenship Wednesday, June 22, 2016 / 12 pm Pacific / 1 hour Registration: http://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/developing-a-culture-of-organizational-citizenship.html A healthy and effective workplace often stems from strong leadership. For supervisors, it?s important to develop a team of individuals who work well together, do what needs to be done, and help each other succeed. Join us for a dynamic session to learn what it means to develop a healthy organizational culture, with an introduction to the concept of organizational citizenship behavior and its relevance to public libraries. You?ll learn techniques to build and support a team that is willing and able to go above and beyond, and to help your library succeed.

Before Bilingual Storytime: The Outreach Bridge to Engaging Latino and Spanish-speaking Families Thursday, July 7, 2016 / 12 pm Pacific / 1 hour Registration: http://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/before-bilingual-storytime.html If you want to attract Latino and Spanish-speaking families to your library, the instinct is to launch a bilingual or Spanish-language storytime. It?s the ?if we build it, they will come? logic for attracting community members who are not being served by the library. Libraries may be disappointed to discover that it doesn?t necessarily work that way. In this webinar, recognize the critical role that outreach plays in bridging the gap between Latino and Spanish-speaking families and library services. Hear real-world examples of outreach strategies from librarians who successfully connected with their Latino and Spanish-speaking communities, and learn a basic outreach process that you can adapt for your own community.

Many LGBT+, Muslim, and Latino families are especially struggling with the shooting in Orlando and are concerned about their safety. A simple way you might consider showing that LGBT+, Muslim, and Latino children and families are welcome in your library is to create a display or do a storytime using LGBT+, Muslim, and Latino themed books. You might also find out about organizations in your community that provide resources and support to these populations in particular or to all types of families and get brochures to make available to your patrons. Any other ideas? Specific book recommendations?

I hope it is also a comfort or commiseration to you around the state: I know I'm not alone in being heart-sick by the massacre at Pulse in Orlando. Florida was my home for the first 6 years of what I call my "actual adult life", and I have friends and family there affected by this tragedy. To say that this week has been difficult is an understatement. I wanted to share with you a comforting Twitter thread written by my professional hero Melissa Depper. I needed it, and you might too: https://twitter.com/MelissaZD/status/742370202302566401 The welcoming and consistent atmosphere you all create for children and families in your libraries is dearly appreciated by your communities and certainly by me.

Once Upon a Cuento: Bilingual Storytimes in English and Spanish. Chicago, IL: ALA Editions. 978-0-8389-1411-3. It is imperative that library programs reflect the rich diversity of the entire community. That includes Spanish-speaking children, who need opportunities to hear their home and school languages spoken, and to see their lives validated through engaging cuentos (stories) that reflect their cultural experiences. Additionally, when combined with other forms of targeted outreach, offering bilingual storytimes in English and Spanish is an effective strategy to attract Latino and Spanish-speaking families to your library. This all-in-one resource, written by two experienced specialists who understand the nuances of library services, collections, and outreach to this population, shows you how. Suitable for libraries just getting started as well as those with programs already in place, this guide * discusses the importance of bilingual programming in the lives of Latino and Spanish-speaking children, addressing the unique educational and informational needs of bilingual children; * provides 18 ready-to-use program plans for bilingual storytimes, suitable even for storytime leaders who don't speak Spanish; * includes several templates for designing bilingual storytimes, arranged by specific age groups; * recommends numerous children's books, songs, and professional resources to assist librarians as they plan their bilingual programs; * explores the opportunity for digital media usage in storytimes for Latino and Spanish-speaking families, with examples of apps that can help meet the multiple literacy needs of bilingual children; and * suggests ways to perform outreach to Spanish-speaking and Latino communities, emphasizing the importance of relationship-building and community collaboration.

(2016). Supercharged Storytimes: An Early Literacy Planning and Assessment Guide. Chicago, IL: ALA Editions. 978-0-8389-1380-2. Based on the groundbreaking research of VIEWS2-the first systematic study of storytimes done to date-this book recommends simple interactive ways to emphasize early literacy techniques and encourage children to use and practice their pre-reading skills while preserving the delight inherent in storytime. And unlike many other storytime resources, the authors use the findings of VIEWS2 to offer guidance in performing assessment, as well as giving tips for planning and conducting storytimes. Put simply this book assists storytime presenters, children's librarians, and others involved with early literacy by * presenting ready-to-use planning tools based on early learning benchmarks with a clear focus on developmental stages; * demonstrating how to foster early literacy development by inserting the VIEWS2 early literacy domains into the five practices from the second edition of Every Child Ready to Read(r) @ your Library(r); * interweaving testimonials from storytime practitioners throughout the text to provide real-world insight; * showing how storytime presenters can connect with parents and caregivers to promote family engagement; * providing guidelines, worksheets, and recommendations for storytime assessment, with particular attention to self-reflection and peer-to-peer community learning; * highlighting professional development resources that encourage sharing and problem-solving within the larger community of children's and youth librarians; and * providing administrators with research-based evidence that supports current and future advocacy for early literacy in public library programming for children.

Engaging Babies in the Library: Putting Theory into Practice. Chicago, IL: ALA Editions. 978-0-8389-1434-2. Public libraries across the nation continue to transform themselves into learning centers for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. There are many resources available to help librarians create baby-friendly play spaces and enhanced storytimes, but until now there has been gap in the literature addressing the developmental needs and changing behaviors of babies and toddlers. Parents and caregivers can also present unique service challenges. Focusing squarely on the how of providing quality library service to babies and families, Knoll's new book provides sensible, sensitive advice on meeting their physical, emotional, intellectual, and social needs. Geared towards helping public libraries foster healthy growth and development for their littlest patrons, this book: * explores multiple aspects in the developing life of a baby, discussing physical needs, emotional expressions, intellectual pursuits, and social development; * highlights real-life examples from public libraries that relate to how these developmental processes present themselves while babies and families interact in the library; * presents Baby Steps for each topical area, providing service tips and suggestions that can be easily or inexpensively put into practice; * offers Big Steps, conversational points that invite librarians to think creatively about further investment, support, funding, and collaborative efforts; and * includes carefully selected research findings and other information that can be used for planning, policymaking, and advocacy.

You can read the full article What Does "Transforming the Workforce" Say About Developing Young Children's Language and Literacy Skills online. Below are my takeaways that apply to public library early literacy programs, especially storytime that include activities. The problem as stated in the article: * Many pre-K programs and elementary schools do not engage children in the high-quality interactions they need to develop their language and literacy skills. According to Transforming the Workforce, early grade teachers do not focus enough on vocabulary, reading comprehension, or conceptual and content knowledge. * the National Council on Teacher Quality (NCTQ) finds that only 59 percent of programs preparing pre-K teachers require candidates to take courses on developing children's language skills. * while it's known that read alouds are highly important for building children's language and literacy, only 20 percent expect prospective pre-K teachers to practice reading aloud to children. The solution as stated in the article is essentially a public library's storytime with intentional post-storytime activities and a language and literacy rich children's area: * Creating an environment that supports young children's language and literacy skills is crucial to children's success * By reading aloud to her students, the teacher is modeling fluent reading, introducing them to new concepts, and building their vocabulary. * She asks her students questions related to the story and encourages them to think beyond what is happening in the book, which can build their ability to represent ideas out of context and discuss past, future, and fictional events. * Most of the children in this class are not likely to be reading words on their own yet, but that doesn't mean they aren't strengthening their reading skills. * Conversation builds children's vocabulary and background knowledge and teaches them how words work together to form phrases and sentences. Children understand more words by listening and speaking, which eventually translates to reading. A few things that may be helpful to know: * The Child Care Division at the Oregon Department of Education has a cross-sector professional development committee (I'm on it!), that is reading the book this article is drawing on, "Transforming the Workforce for Children Birth Through Age 8: A Unifying Foundation", together and discussing it chapter by chapter in our meetings-wouldn't if be nice if all our meetings could be more like book clubs! * It is likely that the information in this book will become how the early childhood and education people talk about early learning. Oregon's standards for educating early childhood professionals, the Core Body Knowledge, are aligned with the information in the book-we checked! * Talking about your storytime and other early learning programs and resources with stakeholders using the language under the "solution" section above and other language in this book make help you get their attention, it may increase the perceived value of your early literacy programs and services in the eyes of early childhood and education stakeholders in particular. * This book is already beginning to impact how we in the library community talk about early literacy . For example, the term "background knowledge" is now being used by librarians instead of "narrative skills" when we talk about early literacy skills. Don't worry, that doesn't make Every Child Ready to Read 1st Ed. obsolete or incorrect! Background knowledge is a broader term that includes narrative skills, but it also includes culture, race, life/real world experiences, and everything else that makes up the story a child has to tell about themselves and uses as a lens to understand other stories and the world around them. This will be discussed more after summer reading-this just the soft-launch of the discussion.

Message-ID: <640435851FD7CB4AB3C4BE0D1963BA2464921B06@OSLEXCHANGE.osl.state.or.us.local> Earlier this month the White House announced a new federal policy statement from the US Departments of Education and Health and Human Resources about better supporting dual language learners (DLLs) in early childhood programs. The policy statement includes recommendations to state-level agencies and organizations as well as recommendations to early childhood programs-like library storytimes. In conjunction with this policy announcement, the federal government launched a dual language learner toolkit to help programs implement the recommendations. Here are the recommendations for early childhood programs, much more information and some suggestions about how to implement these recommendations are included in the federal policy statement: * Create a climate that is strength-based and embraces diversity * Partner with families * Identify and implement intentional approaches to language use in [the children's area and during early literacy programs, like storytimes,] to provide a rich language environment * Establish a culturally responsive learning environment * Ensure that [staff and volunteers have] the competencies to support dual language learners * Ensure [program content] is appropriate * Promote positive [staff]-child relationships * Support monolingual English speaking staff in serving children who are dual language learners * ...support children with disabilities who are dual language learners * Facilitate smooth transitions I highly recommend looking at the "Support Learning English" subsection within the "Teachers, Caregivers, and Family Service Staff" section in the dual language learner toolkit. There are about a dozen useful tips sheets on the topic of dual language learners. You will see a lot of what libraries have been promoting for years about related to language development in these tips sheets. Reading them made me feel less overwhelmed about this new policy statement-you'll probably realize you're already doing some of these things and identify some simple, no-cost and low-cost things you can do to start doing more. Most, if not all of these tips also help support monolingual English language development! Here are just a few things from the tips sheets that I think may be particular good for libraries: * How to identify and screen volunteers to be cultural guides and/or home language models and why these types of volunteers are important * Including children's home languages and cultures o Ask a parent to teach you a song or rhyme from their culture/home language and sing/say it in storytimes o Ask parents how they use language and writing in their home and find a way to incorporate a few of those practices in your storytime or children's area o Choose themes that could be relevant to many cultures, like dance or music, and have families share their traditional dances/music * Creating environments that include children's home languages and cultures o Use photos or pictures along with labels in English and the other major language in your community (don't do too many labels or too many different languages because it becomes overwhelming) o Ask parents to suggest toys, books, music, storytime props, clean empty food containers for toy kitchens, etc. * Selecting bilingual books, using bilingual books, and selecting and using culturally responsive books Don't forget, the State Library also has books specifically for libraries about supporting diversity. For example, we just got the following book which you can check out via interlibrary loan.
