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.

Museum admission and tour.
