[Libs-Or] RRT presents: Ready for Oregon Reads 2009

[luke]

Ready for Oregon Reads 2009; Resources for Librarians

With the selection of Stubborn Twig, Bat 6 and Apples to Oregon, Oregon 
Reads 2009 will no doubt increase public awareness of the Japanese American 
Internment during World War II.  With this increase, it is safe to assume 
there will be more internment related reference questions and excited 
patrons looking for more to read.

The program will be held on February 6th from 10:30am-2:30pm at the Oregon 
Nikkei Legacy Center in Portland.

10:30am - 10:45am: Welcome and introduction to the Oregon Nikkei Legacy 
Center.

10:45am - 11:15am: Individuals will share stories from their time at an 
internment camp.

11:15am - noon: Patti Sakurai will give a brief overview on the history of 
the Japanese American internment.

Noon - 12:45pm: Nicole Bouche will share information on special 
collections/exhibits at the University of Washington.

There will be a 30 minute break for lunch.  Please bring your own sack 
lunch.  Some refreshments will be provided.

1:15pm - 2:00pm: Tour of the Nikkei Legacy Center.

A drawing will be held for Ansel Adams' book; Free and Equal: The Story of 
Loyal Japanese Americans.

Cost for OLA RRT members will be $27.  The fee for nonmembers will be $37.  
Space will be limited to 30 participants.
