Ballard is working with Board Chair Sue Burkholder and an executive recruitment specialist from the Oregon Department of Administrative Services to develop the plan. The Board will consider adopting the plan at their June meeting. State Librarian Jim Scheppke announced in February that he will retiring at the end of the calendar year from the post he has held for 20 years. In other business, the Board will conduct their annual assessment of a key performance measure that deals with best practices of state boards and commissions. Prior to the Board meeting at 1:30 p.m., the Board will participate in the Annual State Library Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon. The Board meeting will be held in Room 202. An open forum is scheduled at 3:00 p.m. Anyone may address the Board at the open forum on any topic. LIBRARY BILLS HAVE HEARINGS IN THE LEGISLATURE At the end of March, the Oregon Legislature will have been meeting for two months with only three months to go. At press time a number of library-related bills will have had hearings, but none have moved very far in the Legislative process. The State Library's budget bill, SB 5521, was the first agency bill to have a hearing in a Ways and Means Subcommittee. The hearing took place on February 9-10. The second day featured public testimony from the Oregon Library Association and the National Federation of the Blind. A bill that was introduced by Governor Kitzhaber on behalf of the State Library Board, SB 111, was voted out of a Senate committee on March 17th and referred to the Ways and Means Committee. The bill would provide permanent funding for the NEWSLINE audio newspaper service for blind and print-disabled Oregonians. NEWSLINE has been funded with donation funds as a pilot project for the past four years. It provides access to the Oregonian, the Statesman Journal, and the Register-Guard newspapers in addition to national newspapers and magazines. HB 2649, which would establish a task force on school libraries, had a hearing on March 7th in the House Education Committee. HB 2710, which would change the funding method for county law libraries, had a hearing on February 8th but has not moved further in the House Judiciary Committee. HB 2859 and HB 3210, both of which deal with the preservation of heritage resources in the state, were heard on March 17th. The Legislature has set a deadline of April 8th for bills to be scheduled for a work session. Otherwise they will not advance in this session of the Legislature. This rule does not apply to appropriations bills that are assigned to the Ways and Means Committee. State Library News ARLENE WEIBLE APPOINTED TO THE DEPOSITORY LIBRARY COUNCIL Arlene Weible, Government Documents and Technical Services Librarian at the Oregon State Library, has been appointed to the 15-member Depository Library Council.

The Council, composed of 15 members, each of whom serves a three year term, advises the Public Printer on policy matters relating to the Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP). The FDLP provides public access across the United States to the published information of all three branches of the government through partnerships with more than 1,220 libraries. Weible has been at the State Library for five years. One of her key duties is to serve as the coordinator of the Regional FDLP for the state of Oregon. Working with three other research libraries, she helped negotiate a successful shared housing arrangement for this program. FREE SUMMER READING PERFORMANCE AVAILABLE TO SMALL PUBLIC LIBRARIES One free summer reading performance is available for public libraries with population service areas of 10,000 or less through the State Library and OLA's partnership with the Oregon College Savings Plan (OCSP) on Destination: College Savings (the 2011 summer reading sweepstakes).

STATE LIBRARY EXHIBITS "DOROTHEA LANGE IN THE WILLAMETTE VALLEY" In August and October of 1939, the acclaimed photographer Dorothea Lange traveled through Oregon recording the plight of farmers and migrant agricultural workers who were affected by the Great Depression. This exhibit focuses on the photographs Lange took in Marion, Polk, and Yamhill counties for the Farm Services Administration of the federal government. Lange's documentary motives are explored in detail, along with the social and political background of the pictures she took. Fifteen photographs by Lange are supplemented by materials from the State Library's collections from the time period. The exhibit is on view in the 2nd floor lobby, 8 am to 5 pm, Monday through Friday. FREE CATALOGING WEBINAR Cataloging: New Perspectives will be broadcast on Friday, April 8 from 9:00 am to 10:30 am. This webcast is part of the Library Futures: Staying Ahead of the Curve 2011 training series. Staff from Oregon libraries may participate in this webcast at no charge.

For more information, go to College of DuPage. This webcast is being made available free of charge to staff from Oregon libraries, paid for by the Oregon State Library with LSTA funds. A DVD of this webcast will be available to check out from the State Library about one month after the date it is broadcast.

Other Library News THREE OREGON LIBRARIES AWARDED OREGON HUMANITIES GRANTS Three Oregon public libraries were among the 23 recipients of a Public Program Grant from Oregon Humanities. The purpose of the grant program is to support programs that are timely, relevant, accessible and interactive, and that use the humanities in the public sphere to connect Oregonians to ideas that change lives and transform communities. The North Bend Public Library will receive a $2,500 grant that will support Title Wave 2011, a community reading project in eight public libraries in Coos County. The selected book this year is The Highest Tide by Jim Lynch and will include free talks by the author in April. A grant of $1,000 to the Newport Public Library will support their community reading program featuring Down in My Heart: Peace Witness in Wartime, the first book published by Oregon author William Stafford. The Library Foundation in Portland will receive a $4,100 grant in support of Teen Read and Hispanic Heritage Month at the Multnomah County Library. Author Matt de la Pena will present free library programs that celebrate Hispanic culture and explore the themes in his books. For more information about Oregon Humanities Public Program Grants, visit their website. PENDLETON PUBLIC LIBRARY FEATURED IN ICMA REPORT In 2009, the Pendleton Public Library was one of only nine public libraries in the U.S. to be awarded a Public Library Innovations Grant from the International City/County Management Association (ICMA). The ICMA received support from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to make grants that would demonstrate how libraries, working outside in partnership with other city and county departments, could address community needs in new and innovative ways. Over 500 communities applied for a grant. Pendleton's project, called Wired for Safety, brought together the public library and the police department to focus on a shared mission of creating a safe and productive environment for teens in the community. Results from the project, funded by a $60,000 grant, included the formation of a Teen Board that advises the library and engages with the police department on community issues involving teens. The library and police department collaborated on the National Night Out for Safety program and drew more than 1,000 people to the event. A total of 929 people were directly served by the 43 classes and events held during the grant period. An evaluation report, "Maximize the Potential of Your Public Library," has results from all nine grant projects and an analysis of the lessons learning from the nationwide project. P.S. (From the State Librarian) We are excited that our new Governor has a lot of ideas to change the education system in our state, and we are proud to be included in his plans. His goal is to create seamlessness between the providers of education services from birth through graduate school. We have been asked to participate in the Early Learning Council that brings together all the providers and funders of services to preschool children, and to begin, for the first time, to coordinate our efforts. The Governor wants the Early Learning Council to aim to have all Oregon children ready to learn when they enter kindergarten and to have all children reading at the end of the first grade. Next year, for the first time, passing the state 10th grade reading test, or the equivalent, will be a requirement for high school graduation in Oregon. If you go to the Oregon Department of Education website you can see the percentage of the Class of 2012 that may not graduate because their reading skills are deficient. You can look up school districts in your communities and see the numbers and percentages of kids at risk of not getting their diplomas. Statewide, 29% of the Class of 2012 did not pass the test in the 10th grade. They can take it again, and undoubtedly schools will make a big effort at remediation, but I expect there will still be lots of disappointment and finger-pointing next year when some of the students don't get their diplomas. The Governor is right about the fact that the long term solution to having all our students become proficient readers begins at birth. We will be advocating for a bigger role for public libraries and school libraries which research shows can make a huge difference. Our school libraries need to step up their reading promotion activities like Oregon Battle of the Books (OBOB) to turn more kids on to reading. We need OBOB in every school. Our public libraries need to do more outreach to preschool children who are not coming to the library, and they need to enroll many more children in summer reading. We estimate that about 167,000 children participated in summer reading last year. That sounds like a big number, but actually it only represents about 19% of all children 0-17 in the state. We need to do more. With Governor Kitzhaber's leadership, and with libraries stepping up their efforts, we might look forward to the day when not so many 10th graders have to sweat the 10th grade reading test, and when all of our students can graduate because they've become good readers. - Jim Scheppke Contacts at the Oregon State Library Library Development: 503-378-2525, MaryKay Dahlgreen, Mary Mayberry, Darci Hanning, Ann Reed, Jennifer Maurer, Katie Anderson.

Based on the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR), RDA moves away from the "unit card" or document approach to catalog entries, and toward an entity-relationship model. Over the past year some cataloging departments have been testing RDA as a set of rules for creating library data. At the same time, technical developers have been experimenting with RDA as data, and in particular as linkable data for the Semantic Web. The speakers will cover these parallel developments, and talk about some possible future directions. This webcast is 90 minutes in length.

If you missed the "Free Content for Library Collections" webinar by the College of DuPage Press you may now watch it online at: http://www.dupagepress.com/index.php?id=4106 Webinar Title: Free Content for Library Collections Speaker: Michael Galloway and John Mark Ockerbloom Cost: Free to Library Staff of Oregon Libraries Description: The Internet offers a treasure trove of free resources that can greatly expand the range of information and services that libraries can offer their patrons. But it's not always easy to find the best information to meet users' needs. In this program, Michael Galloway, Manager, Digital Collections for ipl2: Information You Can Trust, and John Mark Ockerbloom, editor of The Online Books Page, will give a tour of some of the millions of books, magazines, journals, and informative web sites that can be accessed online for free. They will discuss how they evaluate and describe online resources to include in their directories, how readers can find what they need in these directories and elsewhere online, and how they can distinguish useful information from unreliable or irrelevant sites. You'll find out how you can integrate free online resources with your local library offerings in ways that give patrons better service than either online or print alone can provide. And you'll also learn how your library and your patrons can contribute to this growing corpus of knowledge.

Moments ago, the House leadership passed the "Resolution of Disapproval" (see below). It's now en route to the Senate. In their desperation to score political points, members of Congress are handing companies like AT&T and Comcast unlimited power to block popular websites and services, and interfere with our ability to connect with others. President Obama has vowed to veto this resolution, but let's make sure it doesn't get that far. Please sign this letter to tell both your senators to "Save Free Speech Online." After you've signed, please share this action via Facebook and Twitter. Thanks ? Tim [image: SavetheInternet.com] *Take Action Now* Dear Diedre, Yesterday, the House voted to block the FCC from protecting our right to access an open Internet. If successful, the move would give phone and cable companies absolute, unrestricted power over the Internet. In the Senate, Republicans have introduced a "resolution of disapproval" that would strip the FCC of its authority to protect our right to free speech online.1 Both of these moves come at a time when phone and cable giants are already restricting our ability to connect with others and share information.2 We can stop the resolution in the Senate by getting 51 members to stand with us for online freedom: *Tell Your Senators: Defend Our Right to Free Speech Online* A House vote is on the books. It's now up to the Senate. If it doesn't stop this resolution, the FCC would be barred from enforcing its already weak Net Neutrality rule, and from acting *in any way* to protect Internet users against corporate abuses by AT&T, Comcast and Verizon. *This is not a symbolic congressional exercise ? it's a scorched-earth campaign that leaves Americans at the mercy of a corporate cartel.* Imagine a world where these companies are allowed to do anything they want, ban any speech they don't like, charge anything they can get away with, and hold innovation hostage to their profit margins. If this resolution passes, there's nothing anyone could do about it. The resolution is filibuster-proof. We need at least 51 senators to beat it. Will your senators stand with us? *Sign this letter to demand that Senators Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley protect free speech online. *We will deliver it to their offices in Washington and provide you with tools to spread the word across Oregon. Thanks for all you can do. Timothy Karr Campaign Director Free Press Action Fund www.freepress.net www.SavetheInternet.com 1. Sens. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Texas), Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) and John Ensign (R-Nevada) introduced the ?resolution of disapproval? on Wednesday. It already has 39 Republican cosponsors. In the House, Reps. Fred Upton (R-Michigan) and Greg Walden (R-Oregon) are pushing a similar measure. 2.

Even as budget-cutters take aim at libraries and their services, more than two-thirds of the 1,000-plus adults contacted in a survey in January said that the library?s assistance in starting a business or finding a job was important to them, according to the poll, conducted for the American Library Association (ALA) by Harris Interactive. Sixty-five percent of those polled said they had visited the library in the past year; women are significantly more likely than men (72 percent vs. 58 percent) to fall into this category, especially working women, working mothers and women aged 18-54. Overall, 58 percent of those surveyed said they had a library card, and the largest group was, again, women, especially working women and working mothers. College graduates and those with a household income of more than $100,000 were also well represented among card holders, according to the survey.? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

However, it was important to get a response ?on the record.? I have included it below. Thanks for alerting us, Barbara. Best, Roberta Roberta Stevens President, American Library Association 3432 Austin Court Alexandria, VA 22310 (703) 967-8035 Dear Editor, In the April 7 article, ?Mike Shatzkin in Montreal: Libraries make no sense in the future," Mr. Shatzkin was quoted as saying that there will no longer be a need for a [library] building, while acknowledging that the skills of librarians will continue to be in demand. He is both wrong and right. Today?s libraries are more than just book depositories. People are flocking to them for access to both digital and print resources, for free computer and social media training, to use the wireless environment, to take advantage of meeting spaces and to participate in cultural programs and family literacy events. Contrary to a decline, visits to library buildings in the U.S. grew to more than 1.5 billion last year and the support for constructing 21st century libraries has remained strong. Librarians guide users in accessing and evaluating the enormous array of information in this increasingly complex digital world. It is no surprise that Mr. Shatzkin recognizes that the ?navigating? skills of librarians are needed. So do the millions who use their school, public and academic libraries every day. Digital formats and the means of delivering content will evolve, but the need for libraries and librarians will endure.

Eligible institutions include but are not limited to public, research and special libraries; historical societies; museums; civic, community and heritage organizations; and institutes of higher learning. Funding for the exhibition and tour is provided by a major grant from NEH. Using the U.S. Constitution as its cohesive thread, ?Lincoln: The Constitution and the Civil War? offers a fresh and innovative perspective on the Civil War that brings into focus the constitutional crises at the heart of this great conflict. The exhibition identifies these crises?the secession of the Southern states, slavery and wartime civil liberties?and explores how Lincoln sought to meet these political and constitutional challenges. Two hundred sites will be selected to host the 1,000 square foot exhibition for a period of six weeks each from September 2011 through May 2015. Each site will receive a $750 grant to support expenses related to exhibition programming. Participating institutions are expected to present at least two free public programs featuring a lecture or discussion by a qualified scholar on exhibition themes. All showings of the exhibition must be free and open to the public. ?Lincoln: The Constitution and the Civil War? is supported by NEH?s We the People initiative, which aims to stimulate and enhance the teaching, study and understanding of American history and culture.

Chicago: American Library Association, 2011. ISBN 978-0-8389-1086-3 025.52 Murph Library users evolving information needs and their choice of search methods have changed reference work profoundly. Today's reference librarian must work in a whole new way not only service-focused and businesslike, but even entrepreneurial. Murphy innovatively rethinks the philosophy behind current library reference services in this thought-provoking book, which: * Rebrands reference librarianship on the model of a consulting business, providing a renewed vision of the reference desk by treating patrons as clients * Spells out the importance of the patron s voice, and details methods for building and maintaining relationships with patrons * Identifies the reference librarian s competitive advantage over Web search engines and shows how to capitalize on it Murphy adapts existing business practices and programs to the context of the library, allowing frontline staff and administrators in any type of reference department to monitor and continuously improve their library's services.

Announced at the Oregon Library Association's annual conference, the Lampman Award is Oregon's most notable and prestigious award for library service to children. Hope began her 20 year career as a bilingual classroom teacher, long before dual language programs were on the radar. In 1998 she moved from the Dayton School District to Woodburn, accepting a position as Library Media Specialist at Washington Elementary where she worked until her retirement in 2010. Many of her students come from migrant families, with parents who speak only Spanish and feel that they can?t help their children with homework. Hope held a monthly literacy event where she taught parents that they too could share their higher level thinking skills and discuss literature. This was empowering to parents and Hope influenced many families to read together. Using her twin passions-children and literacy, Hope was also instrumental intransforming the community D?a de los Ni?os y D?a de los Libros celebration from a small gathering of a few families to a collaborative event attended by hundreds and sponsored by the school district, the city of Woodburn, and numerous educational, social service agencies, businesses, emergency services, and religious partners. Hope?s influence has not been limited to the community of Woodburn. She has served on OLA?s Amo Leer Committee, helping to select books for the Spanish language collections provided to library recipients of the grant throughout Oregon. She has been an active member of REFORMA, the National Association to Promote Library & Information Services to Latinos and the Spanish Speaking, an affiliate of the American Library Association and helped found the Northwest chapter. She has served on the Pura Belpre Award Committee and on OLA panels and committees about programming for Spanish speaking families. In 2009 she helped bring Jose Luis Orozco, a preeminent Latino children?s literacy advocate and performer, to an OLA/WLA conference and arranged for concerts in elementary schools in Woodburn and McMinnville. For the past 5 years, Hope has also attended the Feria Internacional de Libros (FIL) in Guadalajara where she selected and purchased Spanish language books for the Woodburn School district. She has also served on the Salon de Novedades, a committee that selects from publishers? new book lists books to highlight at the FIL . At FIL she is also part of a committee that helps newcomers navigate the giant event. Hope spent the first few months of her retirement in Ecuador, helping to set up a central library for rural communities. She also has contributed to a new publication Celebrating Cuentos : Promoting Latino Children's Literature and Literacy in Classrooms And Libraries, co-authoring the chapter titled ?Latinos Children's Literature and Literacy in School Library Media Centers.? As a colleague, Hope guided other librarians and advocates for ESL children and families. She could be fierce in her adherence to the principles of cultural inclusion and to her high standards of literature for her students. But she was always a willing collaborator, especially if it was for the benefit of the families of the community. Not only was she generous with her ears and shoulders, she shared her tried and true literacy lessons. -- Jane Corry 2011 Evelyn Sibley Lampman Chair Belmont Youth Librarian- Multnomah County Library 1038 SE Cesar Chavez Blvd. Portland OR 97214 503-988-5382 We're fools whether we dance or not, so we might as well dance. -Japanese Proverb From KendraM at wccls.org Wed Apr 13 10:17:03 2011 From: KendraM at wccls.org (Kendra Jones) Date: Wed, 13 Apr 2011 10:17:03 -0700 Subject: [Libs-Or] 2013 Summer Reading Slogans and 2014 Theme Message-ID: <94DD37F0A1DC734096E7762868418AD503E97287@WCCLSWEBSTER.wccls.lib.or.us> Hello everyone!

(OYAN's Your Excellent Award!) On Thursday, April 7, Anne Tran, bi-lingual Youth Librarian at Multnomah County Library's Midland branch, was honored for her work with teens at a reception held at the OLA Conference. The OYEA! is awarded annually to "an individual . . . that has made a positive and significant contribution to teens in libraries in the state of Oregon." The award includes a certificate, trophy and a $100 contribution to the teen library program of her choice. Anne was nominated for having developed the largest teen council at MCL, for offering creative teen programs, and for her creative work on the MCL Teen Action Team. Nominated by a colleague, Anne also received letters of support from three MID Teen Council members. Teen Councilor, Cheryl Yee, said it all when she wrote, "Anne deserves this award for loving her library, loving her volunteers, loving to read to children, and most importantly loving her job. I can't think of another person that truly deserves this award and I hope she can be recognized this year. I personally am graduating high school this year and one of the things I will miss is being part of Teen Council with a friend like Anne." Congratulations, Anne!

The Challenge of Library Management: Leading with Emotional Engagement. Chicago: ALA, 2011. 025.1VanDu ISBN 978-0-8389-1102-0 Change is inevitable and essential to any functioning institution. But change can be stressful, especially when it upsets established routines and patterns. Library managers need to be able to lead staff through episodes of change while remaining empathetic, and this book shows them how to * Engage library staff in the process and encourage their active participation * Navigate successfully through common types of change, such as space planning, departmental reorganization, and changes in work responsibilities * Draw on concepts from psychology, communication, empowerment, planning, and evaluation to minimize friction Most workplace changes are not ends in themselves but part of a continuous process of transition. Peppered with short narratives that use real-life examples of change principles, this book helps managers reassure their staff that change can be an opportunity for reflection and personal growth.

We have not been able to confirm this percentage with the IMLS, but we expect to learn in about a week what the impact will be to Oregon?s LSTA allotment for FY 2011. The LSTA Advisory Council and the State Library Board have been very conservative in their budgeting, so we don?t anticipate any serious consequences from this in the current fiscal year.

The National Endowment for the Arts, the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Institute of Museum and Library Services will be faced with reining in their grantmaking between now and Sept. 30, when the 2010-11 budget year ends. As for their spending in the coming fiscal year, that will depend on a budgeting process that is expected to turn into a titanic battle between Republicans who are calling for massive cuts and no tax increases, and the Obama administration and its Democratic allies in congress, who want a combination of cuts and higher tax payments for high-income earners. The NEA and NEH each will take a $12.5-million cut this year, from $167.5 million to $155 million -- a 7.5% reduction. Spending at the IMLS will decrease from $282.2 million to $237.9 million, a drop of 15.7%. IMLS spokeswoman Mamie Bittner said Wednesday that the agency has been "very cautious on spending" since October, when the current fiscal year began, knowing that its allocation was not written in stone because Congress had failed to pass a 2010-11 budget. Instead, the federal government had operated under a "continuing resolution" that retained the previous year's spending levels but was subject to change. The resolution was about to expire when the deal calling for $38 billion in spending cuts was reached, averting a possible government shutdown. One of the questions to be decided now, Bittner said, is how to balance quantity and heft -- should the IMLS help as many recipients as it did before, allocating smaller average grants to each? Or should it keep grants as large as before, but issue fewer to implement the $44.3 million in budget cuts? NEA spokeswoman Victoria Hutter said her agency wouldn't comment until the president signs the budget bill into effect. The National Gallery of Art saw its $111-million allocation reduced by $8 million, a 7.2% cut, and the State Department's spending for "educational and cultural exchange programs" aimed at improving the nation's foreign relations was reduced from $635 million to $600 million, a 5.5% cut. The advocacy group Americans for the Arts issued a statement Tuesday saying it was "heartened" that cuts to the NEA and NEH were "more sensible and proportional" than the 26% reduction that House Republicans passed earlier this year, but which the Democratic-controlled Senate did not OK. Also, Americans for the Arts noted, an "Art in Education" program that had been in danger of elimination has survived, albeit with its budget reduced from $40 million to $25.5 million. While acknowledging current constraints, the group said, "the nation would be better with a more robust investment in nonprofit arts" than what's left following the cuts. Funding was not affected at the Smithsonian Institution, whose $761-million allocation is by far the largest federal investment in the arts and culture, or at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, where this year's federal support for operations and renovations totals $36.8 million. ------ End of Forwarded Message -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This budget will make $38.5 billion in cuts compared to the FY 2010 levels and includes a .2% across-the-board cut for all non-defense discretionary spending. Three of the programs of concern to the library community are shown below. As reported in the Senate Committee on Appropriations press release: *Library of Congress* *. *The CR provides $629.9 million in funding for the Library of Congress, a reduction of $13.4 million (-2%) below the FY 10 enacted level, but an increase of $27.4 million (4.5%) above the level provided in H.R. 1. The funding level provided in the CR proposal will require a hiring freeze, and core services and products will be delayed as staff levels are reduced. By contrast, the funding cuts contained in H.R. 1 would have require the LOC to furlough all library staff for approximately eight weeks, including a complete closure of Library facilities and services during that period. In other words, for two months of the remaining six months, the Library would have to be closed. *Government Printing Office* *. *The CR provides $135.3 million for the Government Printing Office (GPO), the same level as provided in H.R.1. As most reductions were taken from the revolving fund, the level of funding provided will allow the GPO to operate at the current level with no service disruptions. *General Services Administration.*The CR provides $82 million for construction and acquisition and $280 million for repair of federal buildings and courthouses. In total, GSA programs were cut by almost $1 billion (a cut of $986 million, compared with a net level of $652.7 million in FY10 and a cut of $1.1 billion in H.R. 1). Funding is provided for the first installment of the Integrated Acquisition Environment, a government-wide information system that will improve contract and grant award, management, and training, as well as provide a critical link in fulfilling the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA). The General Services Administration cut could affect their E-government fund, dramatically lowering the budgets for sites such as Data.gov. These decisions are not final and as the House and Senate will be on recess for the next two weeks, now is the perfect time to share your thoughts with them regarding these important government sites. It is now time to turn our grass root efforts to the FY2012 budget process. With both the Senate and House on recess for two weeks, you should take this opportunity to search out your representatives and senators. Invite them to your libraries and share with them the importance of what libraries do, express the necessity of continued funding for vital programs, such as that of the Census Bureau?s Statistical Compendia Branch.

H.R. 1473, the budget bill that will fund the government through September 2011, includes across-the-board cuts that may deeply affect libraries of all kinds. The bill, which cleared Congress Thursday night, includes a $28 million cut to the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), appropriating the agency at $237.8 million for FY2011. IMLS has 30 days to determine how they will administer these cuts. The Improving Literacy Through School Libraries program ? the only federal program exclusively for school libraries ? was absent from the bill text. The program was last appropriated at $19.1 million in FY2010. By not designating an appropriation for the remainder of FY2011 in this bill, Congress gave authority to the Department of Education to determine funds for school libraries. The Department of Education also has 30 days from the date of enactment of H.R. 1473 to submit to Congress an operating plan for school libraries. ?These cuts in funding hurt people throughout the United States who depend on libraries,? American Library Association (ALA) President Roberta Stevens said. ?We are putting our nation at a disadvantage as we compete in a world that realizes and values the importance of being educated and informed.? As the FY2012 budget debate proceeds, the ALA calls on Congress to restore support for libraries, which serve the American public now more than ever with job hunting and career development. In our schools, libraries provide students with the 21st century skills they need to succeed in the Digital Age. http://www.wo.ala.org/districtdispatch/?p=5990 -- *Diedre Conkling** Lincoln County Library District P.O.

The Town Hall will feature discussions about e-books and the future of electronic access in libraries, a presentation by President Roberta Stevens on advocacy initiatives during the past year, and an update from me on the "State of the Association" and our new 2015 Strategic Plan. A special "Open Forum" time will also allow participants to ask questions about any Association topics. This Town Hall is designed to solicit ideas, comments and questions about the Association from members. To foster this, an ALA Connect group is being set up and pre-loaded with reports from the President, Treasurer and myself so that anyone can comment and discuss them in advance of the Town Hall. Reports from the Task Force on Equitable Access to Electronic Content (EQUACC) co-chairs Michael Porter and Linda Crowe, and the OITP e-books Subcommittee Chair Bonnie Tijerina will also be posted in advance of their presentations for review and comment. Time will be reserved during each segment of the Town Hall for participants? questions, comments and reactions to these reports and the live presentations. Questions and comments will be taken in advance via the Connect group and during the Town Hall by either voice or chat. The i-Linc platform does support participation by voice, but specific system requirements need to be met by participants (Information about system requirements will be provided when registration opens on April 27th). Please note that all participants will have access to live chat for the Q&A sessions. I-Linc also supports a polling function that will allow participants to immediately respond to proposals and presentations. The Town Hall will be simultaneously captioned for participants on an open access website, and an archive of the event will be available for streaming via the ALA website and Connect group within two days after the event. Advance registration is required to be a participant in the Town Hall, and we have anticipated an initial capacity of 1,000 participants. Look for an email invitation to all members from Roberta Stevens on Wednesday, April 27th with more information. The Connect group will go live that day as well. Thanks to the ALA Committee on Membership Meetings for their leadership in developing this Virtual Town Hall. This opportunity for members to participate virtually, discussing issues that affect all types of libraries while helping to shape the future of the Association, anticipates a full virtual membership meeting in the future. The Committee will bring a report to Council at Annual Conference about the Town Hall, and invites you to participate in the in-person Membership Meeting in New Orleans on Saturday, June 25 from 3:30 to 5:00 p.m. Keith Keith Michael Fiels Executive Director American Library Association 50 East Huron Street Chicago, Illinois 60611 (312) 280-1392 *kfiels at ala.org* -- *Diedre Conkling** Lincoln County Library District P.O.

If you cannot call or e-mail your elected official on May 10, please do so sometime between May 9-13. Spread the word ? please share this opportunity to voice support for libraries to your Friends group members, Board of Trustees, library staff, patrons, and community at large.

You can find it online here: http://cslpreads.org/early-literacy-manual.html, but first, you must register for free at http://cslpreads.org/. The early literacy manual includes a wealth of information on how to structure your early literacy programming for this year's summer reading theme (One World, Many Stories), including tons of ideas for programs, storytime songs and rhymes and lists of great books to share with the little ones and families at your libraries. The early literacy manual is new this year, and it will continue to be part of the Collaborative Summer Library Program. Starting next year, there will be art created specifically to appeal to the early literacy set, including posters to promote your summer storytimes and other programs. Access to the early literacy manual is just one of many benefits of registering at http://cslpreads.org/. However, you don't need to register to view the national winners of the You Are Here Teen Video Challenge and embed or link to the videos on your blogs, Facebook pages and library websites. These teen-created PSA's are a great way to promote summer reading: http://cslpreads.org/winners.html.

In the fall of 2010, there were a projected 15.6 public school pupils per teacher, compared with 16.0 public school pupils per teacher 10 years earlier. The Digest of Education Statistics, 2010 is the 46th in a series of publications initiated in 1962. The Digest's primary purpose is to provide a compilation of statistical information covering the broad field of American education from prekindergarten through graduate school. The Digest contains data on a variety of topics, including the number of schools and colleges, teachers, enrollments, and graduates, in addition to educational attainment, finances, and federal funds for education, libraries, and international comparisons. Other findings include: * Record levels of total elementary, secondary, and college enrollment are expected through at least 2019. * The status dropout rate-that is, the percentage of 16- to 24-year-olds not enrolled in school and who have not received either a diploma or an equivalency credential-declined from 13 percent in 1989 to 8 percent in 2009. The percentage of young adults (25- to 29-year-olds) who had completed high school in 2010 was about the same as it was in 2000 (89 and 88 percent, respectively). * Expenditures for public and private education, from prekindergarten through graduate school (excluding postsecondary schools not awarding associate's or higher degrees), are estimated at $1.1 trillion for 2009-10. Total expenditures for education are expected to amount to 7.9 percent of the gross domestic product in 2009-10, about 1 percentage point higher than in 1999-2000. The Digest of Education Statistics (NCES 2011-015) and the Mini-Digest (NCES 2011-016) are reports from the National Center for Education Statistics of the Institute of Education Sciences.
