Message-ID: Hi All-- After many years, we are parting ways with our VHS copy of the Video Encyclopedia of the 20th Century. The set consists of 77 videotapes and a 6 volume printed index. Alas, in the age of Youtube, the set's non-digital format limits its use. Read a description (courtesy of the American University catalog) here: http://www.library.american.edu/mediaservices/video_encyclopedia.html (NB: They have the videodisc version, a format perhaps even more orphaned than ours!) Any takers at the bargain price of FREE? Please be on the courier. First response takes it!

THE HIGH STRUNG are coming! Message-ID: <6892ec6d37cc3894cfbeb8f8aea0defc.squirrel@secure.goldmaninternet.com> Are you looking for a high-energy, summer reading program? For the past five years the quirky, carefree, energetic music of Detroit's The High Strung has been electrifying patrons across the nation with their sunny three-part harmonies and witty, lyrical bravado. This year the guitars that accompany the band?s catchy sing-along choruses are roaming the country again, headed in your direction, and the show is only getting better. Hailed by Rolling Stone magazine, the New York Times, and Village Voice as one of the best rock & roll bands in America, NPR?s Ken Tucker named The High Strung's debut album These Are Good Times as one of the Top 10 Rock Records of 2003. The band?s videos have been seen on MTV, including full features in Entertainment Weekly, Magnet, Harp, and Spin magazines. In August of 2006, in a segment touting the Library Tour, The High Strung was also featured on National Public Radio's This American Life. To listen go to http://www.thisamericanlife.org/pages/descriptions/05/294.html In addition to playing a full-set of their rousing Beatlesque jams, concert goers will learn what it?s like to tour year-round and what sort of enthusiasm it takes to maintain such faith in your art. With a new album coming out on Park the Van Records in spring 2009, The High Strung will perform a mix of favorites and new tunes, as well as writing and performing a new song at each location with the help of the audience. With more than 200 appearances at libraries in 48 states since 2005, the Rock & Roll Library Tour is a proven way to draw reluctant users into the library, often bringing crowds numbering in the hundreds to the most buzzed about event of the summer. Librarians note, ?The guys were so engaging with the crowd. It was quite literally a traffic stopping performance? and the tour ?took our summer programming to a completely new level.? For more information or to book the band for your library, call Bill Harmer of The Black River Group at (734) 612-5405 or e-mail bharmer at blackriverintl.com.

Although participation is free for ALCTS members and non-members alike, registration is required as noted below. "Breaking Down the Silos: Planning for Discovery in Library 2.0" is a continuation of the discussion initiated at the ALCTS Symposium of the same name held at the 2009 ALA Midwinter Meeting in Denver. Several of the Symposium slide presentations are available at http://wikis.ala.org/midwinter2009/index.php/ALCTS Libraries have collected a diverse set of resources which they have made available to their patrons.

As Jim noted below, this is a terrible loss not only to the library community but the entire state. It's my understanding that under current plans it will reopen in the near future to offer extraordinarily limited service supported by a skeleton staff, primarily providing access to and marketing reproductions of its photo collections as part of an e-commerce strategy. The Northwest History Network is organizing an effort to seek a sustainable solution to the virtual closure of the Library. As part of their effort they are circulating an online petition to demonstrate public support for the Library. Below is a link to a resolution they drafted and the petition. Please feel free to add your name and forward the link to colleagues. http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/Save-the-OHSRL-and-staff Best, Susan Susan E.

Anyone concerned about the future of this critically important library for the study and understanding of Oregon history should read this and actively voice your opinion as I have as a private citizen to legislators and to the OHS director and librarian. I think its closure will produce a hole in our understanding of what Oregon has been, what its problems were and how solutions were found to solve those problems. Without this research library, it will not be just students, scholars and citizens who visit the collections who will lose; the entire state will suffer from its closure as access to much of our heritage, our pitfalls and our triumphs will be curtailed. ------------------------------------------------------------ "Oregon Historical Society slashes staff" by D.K.

An HTML version of this release can be viewed on BCR's website at http://www.bcr.org/about/newsreleases/index.html. ************************************************************************** FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Brandie Baumann, communications coordinator 800.397.1552; bcrpress at bcr.org Oregon State Library Joins BCR's Shelf2Life Program AURORA, Colo., March 12, 2009 - The Oregon State Library is participating in BCR's Shelf2Life program, bringing its collections of pre-1923 U.S.-published monographs in the fields of genealogy and family history to the public through a print-on-demand program available through hundreds of online book retailers. "Through this project, these valuable records and narratives of American families will be available to readers across Oregon and the world," commented Jim Scheppke, Oregon State Librarian. "The State Library is always striving to innovate and adapt their collections and delivery options. By participating in the Shelf2Life Program, the library provides their citizens access to this important content in ways we have never been able to in the past." "State library agencies are often overlooked as resources for substantive historical references," noted Brenda Bailey-Hainer, BCR President and CEO. "I'm delighted that the Shelf2Life Program will make these narratives and records housed at the Oregon State Library more easily accessible beyond the region." The Oregon State Library's Genealogy and Family History Collection is a project that sheds light on the wealth of materials hidden in U.S. libraries. The Collection brings to life critical pre-1923 books that catalog birth, death, marriage, property and migration records of specific families. Many of these families followed interesting immigration and movement patterns from western Europe and beyond to the United States more than 200 years ago. In addition to documenting lines of descendants, these books include information such as last wills and testaments, period photographs of towns, buildings and landscapes, portraits of family members and descriptions of business interactions. Encompassing such comprehensive and personal information, this collection will appeal to professional genealogists and family history researchers, as well as descendants and casual historians. BCR's Shelf2Life program was created to help libraries and cultural heritage organizations share their collections with new audiences. By making it easy for libraries to digitize and widen access to their collections, BCR's Shelf2Life program helps libraries increase the visibility, use and recognition of their important collections.? The program helps researchers, collectors and readers by putting these editions within easy reach - in print-on-demand or electronic format. About Oregon State Library Providing services for over 100 years, the mission of the State Library is to provide quality information services to Oregon state government; provide reading materials to blind and print-disabled Oregonians; and to provide leadership, grants and other assistance to improve local library service for all Oregonians.? In order to continue to meet this mission and their high level of service to the citizens of the state of Oregon, the Oregon State Library continually strives to innovate and adapt their collections and delivery options.? By participating in the Shelf2Life Program, the library provides their citizens access to this important content in ways they have never been able to in the past. About BCR BCR brings libraries together for greater success by expanding their knowledge, reach and power. They offer a broad range of solutions and their hands-on, personal attention to each member enables them to deliver effective and timely solutions that help libraries keep pace with new developments in technology and services.

"Molly has done a terrific job and we'll miss her," said Multnomah County Chair Ted Wheeler, who also lauded Raphael for her many accomplishments during her five year tenure at the library's helm: *Passage of the 2006 library levy with a "yes" vote of nearly 62%, the highest total votes for any Multnomah County Library levy; *Increasing diversity in library employment, collections and programming; *Opening all libraries 7 days a week; *Expanding the library's literacy programs and services; *Planning two new branch libraries, with anticipated openings in late 2009 or 2010; *Working with The Library Foundation to bring millions of private dollars to Multnomah County Library to enhance programs and services; *Maintaining MCL's ranking as highest circulating library in the country for four years, as well as its HAPLR standing as one of the U.S.'s top three urban library systems; *Developing new programs and opportunities for older adults through collaboration with multiple community based-institutions. "Serving as library director in Multnomah County is the most challenging and rewarding work I have done in my nearly 40 years as a librarian," said Raphael, who is also currently serving as the president of the Library Leadership and Management Association (LLAMA) of the American Library Association. A national search for Raphael's replacement is currently underway. ### Penny Hummel, MLIS Marketing & Communications Manager Multnomah County Library 205 NE Russell St. Portland OR 97212 ph: 503.988.5498 fax: 503.988.5441 e-mail: pennyh at multcolib.org www.multcolib.org -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The $410 billion spending bill, which includes the nine unfinished appropriations bills from last year, contains $171,500,000 for the Grants to State Library Agencies program within the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA). This funding level is an increase of over $10 million from last year and also allows for full implementation of a 2003 law to provide a more equitable distribution of state formula grants. ALA President Jim Rettig said this additional state funding will provide much-needed assistance to our nation?s libraries that are experiencing a spike in usage during the recession. *?Last year, libraries hosted more than 1.3 billion visits and are now averaging 175 million visits a month,?* Rettig said. *?As Americans deal with the weakened economy, they are turning to their libraries more and more ? not just for no-fee access to the Internet and free books, CDs and DVDs ? but also for assistance with online job searching, resume building, 21st century job skills training, and e-government. We want to thank Congress and the White House for recognizing the need to fund libraries at the full level of the LSTA, especially during this time when Americans need their libraries more than ever.?* Rettig credited many members of Congress with working to ensure this funding was secured, and he especially thanked U.S. Sen. Jack Reed (D-RI), whose leadership was essential to reaching this funding level. *?Libraries have always been a place where the community can come together, a source of common ground,?* Reed said. *?Today, more and more job seekers are turning to libraries for assistance in their search. I have long advocated for this funding level because it is the amount necessary to reach a key goal included in the 2003 reauthorization of the Museum and Library Services Act that I authored to double the minimum State allotment. This additional funding will help libraries respond to the growing demand for free access to all types of services and new technology.?* The spending bill also included $607 million for the Library of Congress, which includes $29 million to complete the transition of the Digital Talking Books program for the blind. A chart with selected program funding levels for libraries can be found here .

"This is one of the most important things an ALA member can do this year. I want to encourage all ALA members to take a few minutes out of their busy schedule and help evaluate and shape ALA's strategic plan. The responses will remain confidential and help ALA evaluate its current strategic plan, guide the development of future plans and help ALA better meet the needs of all members. The last time we surveyed the members, their feedback was instrumental in developing the 2010 strategic plan. We really need member input to provide us with impactful and important information that will guide us in the future," said Jim Rettig, ALA President. Every five years, ALA conducts a major evaluation of programs and services and plans for the future. To see the 2010 strategic plan, go to http://www.ala.org/ala/aboutala/missionhistory/plan/index.cfm A series of discussion forums will be held at state and regional meetings in spring and fall 2009 to solicit additional feedback. Members can go to http://www.ala.org/2015survey and log in using their seven-digit ALA member number found on their membership card as well as the mailing label of "American Libraries." ### -- Portland State University logo Suzanne L.

Public, academic (university, college and community college) and medical libraries may apply to host the banner exhibition by downloading an application at www.ala.org/harrypotter. In order to be considered, applications must be received at ALA by May 1. Using materials from the NLM?s History of Medicine collections, the exhibition explores Harry Potter?s world, its roots in Renaissance science and the ethical questions that affected not only the wizards in J.K. Rowling?s books, but also the historical thinkers featured in the series. Exhibition panels feature the works of 15th- and 16th-century alchemists, naturalists and occultists, and explore the intersection between the Harry Potter novels an Renaissance thinkers, lore and practices. More information about the exhibit, including educational resources, is available at http://www.nlm.nih.gov/exhibition/harrypottersworld/index.html. Following the application process, 12 libraries will be selected to host the exhibition for a four-week display period between September 2009 and November 2010. All libraries on the tour will be expected to pay for incoming shipping for the exhibition, which will range from $250 to $450, depending on the distance between sites. The exhibition is composed of six fabric panels mounted on self-supporting stands and measuring 7 ft. high x 3 ft. wide x 15 in deep; panels are printed only on one side. It requires 30 linear feet of space, or 300-400 square feet.

We are located in the Wells Fargo Center at 1300 SW Fifth, between Jefferson and Columbia. Please come up to the 23rd floor. Parking is difficult downtown, so taking public transportation is your best bet. We're very close to the bus mall, and just a few blocks away from the MAX or streetcar. In these stressful times, I thought it'd be fun to focus on one thing librarians always like - books! What is the best book you've read lately? Which book do you pick up when you need a mood lift? What books do you recommend for fun, or work? If you'd like to email me titles ahead of time, I'd be glad to put together a list. Next month, the librarians at CH2M Hill will host our brown bag lunch. In the near future, we'll test out berry pie recipes at Emporia's SLIM Portland offices, and visit the BPA library. If you'd be willing to host in May or June, please let me know!

Message-ID: The National Center for Education Statistics within the Institute of Education Sciences has released the report "Literacy of Foreign-Born Adults in the United States: 2003." This Issue Brief draws on data from the 2003 National Assessment of Adult Literacy (NAAL) to explore the English literacy of foreign-born adults living in households in the United States. The brief presents the English literacy scores of foreign-born adults age 16 and older by race/ethnicity, age of arrival in the United States, years spent in the United States, highest level of educational attainment, and language spoken before starting school. Scores are reported on three literacy scales: prose, document, and quantitative. Findings indicate that English literacy scores of foreign-born adults varied across a variety of background characteristics. For example, Hispanics, who represented approximately half of foreign-born adults, had lower average prose, document, and quantitative literacy scores than their foreign-born Black, White, and Asian peers. In addition, foreign-born adults who had been in the United States the least amount of time (1 to 5 years) had lower average s cores on each literacy scale than foreign-born adults who had spent the most amount of time (21 to 30 years and 31 years or more) in the country.

Safe Sound Archive's expertise in the preservation, conservation and/or restoration of audio media provides the assurance that any size project will receive the same treatment. They can recover and reformat many types of media, including virtually all analog formats, as well as early and current digital formats. "As libraries and other cultural heritage institutions expand their digital initiatives into their sound collections, BCR's Digital & Preservation Services began looking for quality programs to meet our member needs. Safe Sound Archive is one of the leading audio preservation formatting organizations in North America," stated Liz Bishoff, Director, BCR Digital & Preservation Services. Safe Sound Archive staff consults with collection owners to help them evaluate their needs, assess priorities and consider options, and the company's on-site storage facility provides climate-controlled storage of collections for long-term care or for the duration of a reformatting or digitization project. For 21 years, Safe Sound Archive has provided audio recording services, new recordings, storage and reformatting to such institutions as the Boston Public Library, the Museum of Jewish Heritage, the North Carolina School of the Arts, the Church of Latter-day Saints, the University of California at Santa Barbara, Pacifica Radio Archives and Columbia University Libraries. Safe Sound Archive's founder, George Blood, was a peer reviewer for BCR's CDP Digital Audio Best Practices, Version 2.1 document (http://www.bcr.org/cdp/best/digital-audio-bp.pdf). He notes, "Audio preservation is unfamiliar to most librarians and archivists. Most information available on this topic is oriented toward people who already have some background in the subject and are often fairly (to very) technical on the subject. The Digital Audio Best Practices guide from BCR is an excellent introduction to the main concepts, with clear and specific recommendations. I recommend it frequently to institutions as they prepare to confront their important documents captured in sound." Safe Sound Archive also was a primary partner during BCR's CDP project, Sound Model: Collaborative Infrastructure for Digital Audio (http://www.bcr.org/cdp/projects/soundmodel/index.html). Safe Sound Archive converted more than 2,400 hours of audio for 30 cultural heritage institutions in 10 western states.

My topic is about how we help ourselves and our coworkers work through change. It's a very interesting and important issue to me: sometimes I get to lead people at work through changes, but also am going through changes in my personal life (as are most of us due to economics, aging children and parents, and all those things that we face every day which demand intestinal fortitude). I would very much appreciate hearing from you about your experiences dealing with change. Specifically: 1. What worked in some situations and what didn't work in others? 2. For the times when change was difficult, what would you have preferred happen that would have made it easier for you? Many of us been through reorganizations; some of us have experienced major changes to our daily work assignments. Some of us have lived through library construction projects in which our office spaces moved around, sometimes more than once. Many of us are have been touched by software changes that have a huge effect on our daily work lives. Our libraries, cultures, expectations, and landscapes have changed a great deal over the past year. Staff positions have not been filled, supplies and services budgets curtailed, collections reduced, demand has increased for existing services even while demand for new services increases. To mitigate some of the effects of the economy there have been calls for greater collaboration among Oregon and Washington libraries, for sharing expertise as well as collections. Libraries are called upon to change how they do business. I'd very much like to hear from you about what helps you through change. I'd like to learn more about how to present changes to staff, especially the kind that can be difficult to hear. If you would be willing to share your insights and experiences with me please respond off-list to chappell at uoregon.edu.

[Updated version 3/20/09] *ALA** Council Candidates - 2009* For a few years now I have been putting together a list of ALA Council candidates for the SRRT Feminist Task Force (FTF) and shared it with others -- here it is again. The list is based on the affiliations candidates put in their statements. This is not an endorsement of any candidates. This list includes candidates who state that they are members of FTF, SRRT , ACRL WSS , GLBTRT, REFORMA , CALA , BCALA , APALA , and AILA . I may have missed some of the candidates because my eyes blurred a bit scanning the statements and the many acronyms. If I left you or someone else who should have been on this list off please let me know and I will send out an updated list in the very near future. Please read the candidates statements before voting so that you will know more about them and will really be voting for someone that you want to serve on ALA Council. You do not need to vote for 34 people. In fact, your vote is stronger if you only vote for a few people; those that you really want to serve on ALA Council. *ALA** Council Candidates* * * Rose Albritton: BCALA Jose Aponte: REFORMA Mario A.

Besides the Winter, 2009 issue on school and public library cooperation, the President's Conference Issue (Summer, 2009) is in development. I am seeking writers and reporters on the conference theme of "Oregon Reads: One State, Many Stories." This can be broken up into Oregon Reads AND One State, Many Stories. With the conference less than two weeks away I thought there'd be a rich mine of stories generated there. Some ideas: 1. the conference experience of various categories of library staff (paraprofessional, new professional, seasoned professional, retired librarian, board member, school, public, academic, special); could be written in blog format 2. a presenter edits their presentation or showcase for publication 3. an attendee interviews a presenter/speaker/author for more in-depth perspective on their subject 4. a vendor's conference experience 5. the story of why someone is not at the conference--and what happens in the library when others are gone 6. your library's experience with Oregon Reads 7. your library's experience with a library reading promotion or other community reading project I'd also like to include sidebars with shorter stories about "why/how you became a librarian or came to work in a library"; or "the story of a meaningful library interaction you've had which is emblematic of the profession's ideals"; or professional literature/websites you've been reading/viewing that you'd like others in the profession to know about. The due date for the finished articles is May 15, 2009. Thanks for considering this request. I hope you are intrigued to help create a story filled issue! Let me know what type of article/reporting you are thinking of.

This is a ?Pie in the Ky? choice, but Lois Ehlert would be an awesome SRP artist I think. Market Day A Story Told with Folk Art Lois Ehlert ------------------------- ? Marjorie Priceman, author/illustrator of How to Make an Apple Pie and See the World ? ?Marjorie Priceman is the award winning author and illustrator of many picture books. After graduating from the Rhode Island School of Design, she made her debut in 1989 with Friend or Frog. ? Marjorie's illustrations enliven many fantastic stories through her use of bright watercolors and free flowing lines. In 1995, she won the Caldecott Honor for Zin! Zin! A Violin. The School Library Journal reviewed her work as "an inspired assortment of characters, who pose, prance, and float across the page and stage? the rich, swirling background colors change with each double-page spread. ? Using softer lines and more muted hues than usual, Marjorie illustrated Katie Couric's debut novel The Brand New Kid in 2000. In this story, "the artist captures a full gamut of emotion, particularly in the crabby faces of taunting classmates and a beaming portrait of Lazlo at the moment he makes his first real friend." (From the School Library Journal, 2000). ? After a sabbatical, Marjorie is right back to work on some new stories. Her next book, due out in the spring of 2004 is Katie Couric's second book entitled The Blue Ribbon Day. ? >From http://www.storybookart.com/meet_mpriceman.html ------------------------- ? Carolyn Garcia Carolyn works at Multnomah County Library?s Central Library in Circulation and also as an on-call library assistant. She does Story Stop in the Children?s Library and is in the process of being trained for age-specific storytimes. She?s the author/illustrator of the book Moonboy. ? You can see examples of her work at http://www.flickr.com/photos/7373968 at N04/sets/72157603690331370/ Her work is available for sale at Crafty Wonderland and she will be having a show at the Mary Lou Zeek Gallery in Salem in November. ? I love Carolyn?s art! Whether it?s drawn with a Bic pen or full color, her detailed drawings and paintings make me smile and would catch the eye of any child at who comes to a library. Any of her creations would be ready to travel the world! ------------------------- ? Artist's Name: Jan Brett http://www.janbrett.com/biography.htm ? Something About the Artist: According to Ms. Brett's biography she has over 34 million books in print. Her work is widely recognized, and many of her stories are based in other countries. Her work includes The Umbrella, Hedgie's Surprise and Berlioz the Bear. ? Link to Jan Brett's work: http://www.janbrett.com/index.html ? Why Ms. Brett is perfect for World Culture and Travel: Ms. Brett's biography acknowledges that her art is inspired by the countries she visits, and she finds travel a "constant inspiration."?Ms. Brett's work?has an intricate look and an international feel?that is perfect for our world and travel theme. ------------------------- ? Patricia Storms Additional information and online examples available here:? http://www..stormsillustration.com/ I?m recommending Patricia because of her unique ability to depict all races as delightful cartoons (see examples online) AND because she writes the Booklust Blog! ------------------------- ?

Fortenberry?s legislation will protect books from regulation March 25th, 2009 http://www.wo.ala.org/districtdispatch/?p=2401 Nebraska congressman introduces bill to amend consumer safety act FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Jenni Terry *WASHINGTON, D.C.* ? The American Library Association (ALA) supports legislation introduced by U.S. Rep. Jeff Fortenberry (R-Neb.) yesterday to amend the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) to exempt ordinary books from the lead limit within the act. This is a welcome step toward ensuring libraries will not be adversely affected by the law. In August 2008, Congress passed CPSIA, an important law to protect children from the real dangers of toys made with lead-based paint; however, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) misinterpreted the law to apply to ordinary books for children 12 years of age or younger. The law was set to go into effect on February 10, 2009, but in late January 2009, the CPSC issued a one-year stay of implementation for enforcement of the new lead limits in children?s products, stating that the commission will not impose penalties against anyone for making, importing, distributing or selling a children?s product to the extent that it is made of certain natural materials, such as an ordinary children?s book printed after 1985. Fortenberry?s bill, H.R. 1692, would remove the pre-1985 provision and states that CPSIA was not intended to apply to ordinary books ? those books that are published on paper or cardboard, printed by conventional publishing methods, intended to be read, and lacking inherent play value. H.R. 1692 also states that testing has shown that finished books and their component materials contain total lead content at levels considered non-detectable, and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has determined that there is little risk to children from lead in ordinary books. ?We are grateful for this bill since it supports what the ALA, libraries, teachers and parents know to be true ? books are safe and should not be regulated by this law,? ALA President Jim Rettig said. ?Reading is critical to child development, and libraries should be free to continue providing services to children without the fear of having to comply with unnecessary and expensive testing. Rep. Fortenberry?s bill corrects the CPSC?s misinterpretation that would deny our children access to books and limit their opportunities to learn.?

I have received information from Rhode Island Novelty, with permission to pass it on to you. As I receive responses from US Toy Company and Kipp, I will send them along. What follows is the content of the email and attached is their letter: 3/25/09 Hi BJ, As Heather explained to you, this letter is for products purchased after the Feb 10th 2009 date. If you have inventory of products (from us) before this date, we can look at each item on a case to case basis. As stated in this letter, we have always been compliant to the laws, but as the law evolves (over time) the requirements have changed. So if you are looking to see if a product that was purchased in "07", for example, we were testing for lead on the surface, but not substrate lead (the ins and outs of the products) so it is very hard for me to tell you that they conform to the "09" laws as we did not test for that. Obviously, we could not guess what the laws will be, but can only go by what they are. I hope this helps. Best Regards PS.

Murphy Date: Wed, Mar 25, 2009 at 2:12 PM Subject: [fllan] ACTION NEEDED: Please Ask Your Representatives to Co-Sponsor H.R. 1692 To: fllan at ala.org Dear FLLAN members, As you know, Congress passed legislation titled ?The Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008? last August. This legislation seeks to decrease the levels of lead and phthalates in products intended for children 12 years of age or younger and will be enforced by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). This legislation was misinterpreted by the CPSC to include books. Thankfully, U.S. Representative Jeff Fortenberry (R-Neb.) recently introduced legislation to amend the CPSIA to exempt ordinary books from the lead limits within the bill. This legislation specifically exempts books and would ensure that children continue to have access to safe, educational and entertaining reading materials. Mr. Fortenberry cannot do this alone, and he needs our help to ensure that his colleagues understand books are indeed a safe product, but our children?s access to them is threatened because of the CPSC?s current interpretation. *Action Needed: *In order to gain the attention this legislation deserves, please call or write your Representatives and ask them to cosponsor H.R. 1692. Time is of the essence; we have less than 11 months before the new implementation date arrives, and it is critical that we convince as many Members as possible to sign onto this legislation. Without our advocacy, this legislation will not move forward! *Background:* Currently, books are considered an unregulated product. This means they are generally considered safe and are not subject to the same rules and regulations as toys and other objects on the U.S. market. Under the new interpretation of the CPSIA, books would be subject to the same testing standards as children?s toys and clothing. Very few recalls have actually involved books; in fact, the recalls surrounding books have not happened because of the books themselves but rather the toys that were attached to the books that were considered potential choking hazards. In spite of this information, the standard hardcover and paperback books would be subject to the same testing standards as children?s toys under the new legislation. As a result, publishers have tested the components of books and found that the levels of lead in children?s books were far below the future legal requirements at the full implementation of the regulations three years from now. However, the advisory opinion from the CPSC says that not only must the testing be done by one of their certified labs but that this legislation also is retroactive, and every book currently in use must be tested. This situation will become even more complicated because the CPSC has not certified any labs to administer the lead testing. At this point, the CPSC has issued a one-year stay in implementation ? meaning, the legislation will not be implemented until February 10, 2010. However, the CPSC has indicated that they will not permanently exclude books without some sort of clear Congressional action. *Talking points on H.R. 1692:* - Though the CPSC has interpreted the act to include ordinary books, Congress did not intend for them to be included. - This legislation would exempt ordinary books only ? books that are published on paper of cardboard, printed by conventional publishing methods, intended to be read, and lacking inherent play value. - Testing has shown that finished books and their component materials contain total lead content at levels considered non-detectable - The Center for Disease Control and Prevention has determined that there is little risk to children from lead in ordinary books. - Libraries are grateful for this bill since it is proven that reading books is critical to child development, and libraries would like to continue to provide this service without the threat of regulation that would unnecessary and expensive testing. As always, please let me know if you have any questions.

BJ Toewe Youth Services Manager Salem Public Library PO Box 14810 Salem, OR 97309 503-588-6039 bjtoewe at cityofsalem.net >>> "Stacy Gicante" 3/26/2009 10:37 AM >>> Dear Ms. Toewe, All toys ordered since the CPSCIA was passed are being tested for the full range of tests required. This is not only for lead but other "heavy metals", PHTHALATES, flammability, small parts, sharp edges, tec. As our inventory turns over, we expect to have documented tests which we will have online for all appropriate products. We are not testing to the current CPSCIA standards on lead but to the stricter 90 PPM standard which is where the US standard eventually will be. Many of our items were always made to the 90 PPM level as we sold them to Europe and that is the European EN71 standard. To our knowledge, all of our current inventory is in compliance with the CPSCIA. We did have some items we suspected had PHTHALATES and pulled those items from sale. Until the CPSCIA, there were not PHTHALATE requirements and items were not tested fort PHTHALATES as there were not standards to test against. The new CPSCIA regulates "substrate" lead for the first time. Up until the act was passed, nothing was tested for substrate lead. To our knowledge, our current inventory complies. The laws are constantly changing as new regulation come out. As you are aware, at first children's books were covered and now those from the last 20 years are not; at first sporting goods were covered and now they are not; etc. we have a full time person in the office that does nothing but keep track of the changing laws and our testing; as we carry over 20,000 items, this is no small task. As to the items purchased in 2008 before the CPSCIA was passed, we have no reason to believe any of them have either surface lead or substrate lead in excess of the current standards. However, there is not testing on substrate lead on those products. We only buy from the most respected factories. We go to those factories to see how the products are made and that standards are met for the working conditions we require (no child labor). The largest of these factories test the raw materials before processing, during processing and then afterward; we use an independent third party lab to verify the findings.

They make great gifts: can't ever think of what to send your grandmother for her birthday? Go no further. And shipping costs are very low! They help you connect with other tattooed people; it's a form of cultural competency. They help you explore your creative side - the side you don't use in all those meetings you attend. You will be perceived as generous, charitable, and philanthropic for only a few dollars. That's a cheap way to make people think you're a good person! Drum roll, please. And now, the top reason to buy a temporary tattoo or so: You will be helping your colleagues (or maybe even yourself) by providing funds for scholarships for tuition for an MLS program-how cool is that! We will be offering these for sale at our table in the Exhibits area. Also, you can buy them from OLA Past Presidents touring the conference with Tattoo Trays (how classy is that!) And, this year we are also offering buttons! They will be different from the tattoos-come check it out! P.S. We need volunteers to help staff our table. I am sure that none of you want to be left out of this fabulous opportunity. To sweeten the offer (although I don't know how much better it can get than hanging with OLA past presidents...!), your volunteer time will earn you some free tattoos!

L-net has been providing 24/7 reference service since 2003 (our 6-year anniversary will be in April!) and demand for the service continues to grow. In early March we had our busiest day ever (over 300 questions) and it's likely that we'll reach a total number of questions answered of 100,000 within the next few months. If you're interested in learning more about L-net, virtual reference, and libraries and technology, please come to the 2009 Oregon Virtual Reference Summit.

The 2009 OLA Conference is almost here! This year there are several changes that you need to know about. We have included the changes as well as some tips to help you get the most out of your conference experience. One State, Many Bags-There _will not_ be conference bags available this year. Instead we are encouraging conference attendees to bring their own bag. You are welcome to bring a library bag to use yourself or swap for a different one. This can also include a bag from a library or from an earlier conference. You can also donate extra library bags that you no longer need. You can bring other types of bags to use yourself, but we can only take donations of library related bags. Don't forget to bring paper and a pen or pencil to take notes. Directions- You can find directions to the Salem Conference Center at http://www.salemconferencecenter.org/directions.php Parking Map-Parking is available at the Salem Conference Center/Phoenix Grant Hotel (access from Liberty Street), in the Pringle Parking Garage (access off High Street, top level only) or in the Liberty Parking Garage (access off Liberty Street, evenings and weekends only). The parking map is available online at http://www.salemconferencecenter.org/pdf/Parking_Map.pdf Our goal is to provide a greener conference this year so there will be a minimal of handouts available at the conference. You will be able to find conference handouts online at www.nwcentral.org listed under resources. Conference programs are available and will be given to each conference attendee. There won't be an internet caf? available this year, but there will be free wireless in the Salem Conference Center. Wear comfortable shoes! The Salem Conference Center is fairly large and you will want to spend time walking through the exhibits. A map of local restaurants offering discounts to conference registrants is also available at the registration desk. All you need to do is show your conference badge to receive a discount. It includes Alessandro's Ristorante & Galleria; The Beanery; Blue Pepper Internet Caf? & Art Gallery; Cascade Baking Company; Governor's Cup Coffee Roasters; J. James Restaurant; La Margarita Company Restaurant & Grill; Marco Polo Global Restaurant and Wild Pear Restaurant. The walking map is also available on line at http://data.memberclicks.com/site/ola/OLA_Walking_Map.pdf Support the OLA MLS Scholarship fund by buying a temporary tattoo from the OLA Past Presidents Round Table. Proceeds will help support future librarians. Be sure to fill out the conference evaluation which will be available online after the conference.

The letter will not be taken seriously, and it will appear as if Members of Congress do not care about libraries if we don't have hundreds of signers on the letter. Programs that don't have a vocal support network are in danger of being cut. The letter is addressed to the House Labor, Health and Human Services and Education Appropriation Subcommittees and requests that the House include $300 million for the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) and $100 million for the Improving Literary Through School Libraries program for FY 2010. *When you contact your Representative, you must ask him or her to call Joseph Mais in order to co-sign the letter at 202.225.2435.* http://capwiz.com/ala/issues/alert/?alertid=13037141 As always, please contact me if you have any questions.
