This lecture is entitled, "When Heroes Weren't Welcomed Home" and features Willamette University professor of education, and Oregon Encyclopedia Co-Editor-In-Chief, Linda Tamura. She is the author of The Hood River Issei: An Oral History of Japanese Settlers in Oregon's Hood River Valley, the daughter of a veteran and was born and raised in Hood River, Oregon. After World War II was over, a group of American soldiers found themselves unwelcome in their Oregon hometown, even though they had served heroically in the South Pacific and in Europe. Community leaders, including veterans' groups, had removed their names from the local war memorial and proposed a Constitutional amendment to deprive them of their citizenship. The racist hometown homecoming of these Japanese American veterans gained nationwide notoriety. Linda Tamura's new book, Nisei Soldiers Break Their Silence: Coming Home to Hood River, is based on more than 100 oral histories as well as extensive documents, including files from the veterans' group that led the campaign and provides the research and material for this interesting lecture.

The metrics provide longitudinal data on public library youth services and public library usage statistics. This data allows public libraries to see how their efforts impact library services to children in Oregon, and serves as a tool for setting local youth service goals. The Best Practice Libraries report lists those libraries that provide all three youth services best practices: outreach, summer reading, and early literacy training for caregivers.

New Exhibit at the State Library to Focus on Early Exploration of the Pacific Northwest [Exhibit]The Oregon State Library is opening a new exhibit on February 6, entitled "The Early Exploration of the Pacific Northwest, 1778 - 1843." Using books from the State Library's Special Collections, this exhibit highlights many early expeditions in the Pacific Northwest, starting with the 1778 Oregon Coast explorations by James Cook of England to the United States Exploring Expedition led by Charles Wilkes in 1843. The exhibit will display many other key materials from persons and places such as Robert Gray, George Vancouver, Lewis and Clark and Astoria. Oregon State Library's Special Collections houses manuscripts, photographs, older Oregon documents, Oregon maps, and books and periodicals on numerous Oregon-related topics. Many items in the collection require special handling or protection because they are rare or fragile. 2011-2012 Outstanding Ready to Read Grant Projects Awarded Each year the State Library staff recognizes several public libraries for their outstanding Ready to Read Grant projects.

The Ready to Read Grant web page provides more information about these outstanding projects. State Library Staff Legislative Library Again in 2013 [StateCapitol]Need to know the status of a bill? Want to know what bills have been introduced on a specific topic? Need to contact a legislator? Need background research before providing testimony? The State Library can help. There's a renewed partnership in place to provide fast, on-site reference service to the Legislature this session. After a successful relationship during the 2011 session, the State Library's Government Research Services (GRS) team has agreed to once again partner with Committee Services providing staffing to run the Legislative Library located in Room 446 of the State Capitol. In addition to reference service, GRS staff will also participate in trainings for legislative staff, state employees, and the public on legislative related topics. Operating under a contract between the two agencies, GRS staff will split the 45 hours per week that the library is open. They will provide service to Legislators and their staffs, legislative employees, and the general public who come into the library. This partnership maximizes the service to the Legislature by drawing on the existing expertise of GRS staff and the tools already in place to serve state government. By emphasizing the State Library's role in providing the service, GRS can also raise the awareness of services available directly from the State Library when the legislature is not in session. GRS staff will be working in the Capitol from February 4 to June 30, 2013.

Return to top of page State Library News Join us for First Lecture of Oregon State Library 2013 Spring Lecture Series [cid:image002.gif at 01CE02E6.96D8B040]The Oregon State Library is pleased to announce our first lecture in our Spring series on Wednesday, February 6th in Room 103 from 12:00-1:00. This lecture is entitled, "When Heroes Weren't Welcomed Home" and features Willamette University professor of education, and Oregon Encyclopedia Co-Editor-In-Chief, Linda Tamura. She is the author of The Hood River Issei: An Oral History of Japanese Settlers in Oregon's Hood River Valley, the daughter of a veteran and was born and raised in Hood River, Oregon. After World War II was over, a group of American soldiers found themselves unwelcome in their Oregon hometown, even though they had served heroically in the South Pacific and in Europe. Community leaders, including veterans' groups, had removed their names from the local war memorial and proposed a Constitutional amendment to deprive them of their citizenship. The racist hometown homecoming of these Japanese American veterans gained nationwide notoriety. Linda Tamura's new book, Nisei Soldiers Break Their Silence: Coming Home to Hood River, is based on more than 100 oral histories as well as extensive documents, including files from the veterans' group that led the campaign and provides the research and material for this interesting lecture. Please join us on February 6th as our Spring Lecture series begins. 2011-2012 Ready to Read Annual Report Now Available The 2011-2012 Ready to Read Annual Report and Best Practice Libraries report are now on the Ready to Read webpage.

Come say hello and eat a heart-shaped cookie. Write librarian at streetbooks.org for more information. And now, a word about what we've been up to: [image: Laura Moulton presents at the Ford Foundation] We had a busy fall, beginning with our annual Street Books reception, on September 13th. This year it was held at Bud Clark Commons. Street Books board member Amy Dennis provided homemade cornbread, beans and salad, and Street Books patron Mark Hubbell did a reading from his favorite Ray Bradbury story. It was a lovely turnout, and we thank everyone who gave their time and energy to make it happen. There are a few exciting raffle items left from the event, so please see the bottom of this newsletter for details.* Street Books founder Laura Moulton traveled to New York City in November to accept an Innovations in Reading award from the National Book Foundation. The award is given each year to organizations around the United States who make reading & literature more accessible to underrepresented communities. She also had the opportunity to give a presentation about Street Books to an audience at the Ford Foundation. It was a great honor, and a chance to spread the world about Portland's unique street library. In December, we had a nice write-up in the Portland Tribuneby Julia Silverman. We are not currently operating weekly library shifts through the wettest part of winter, but look for our shifts to begin in late spring/summer. There are plans to expand to three shifts per week, and to cross over to Portland's east side. More on that soon. *If you've read this far, you're ready for a prize, and here's what's available: Northrup Station (NW Portland's Boutique Hotel) -- 1 Night Oregon Wines on Broadway -- 4 Pinots & 1 Cheese Plate Portland Center Stage -- 2 Tickets Portland Walking Tours -- 2 Tickets Portland Center for the Performing Arts -- 2 Tickets Dinner for 2 at the Blind Cafe Culinary Portland: Finishing Salts from The Meadow, 2 vouchers to Portland's Culinary Workshop & a year's subscription to Edible Portland Old Wives Tales: Lunch & drinks for 4 people Tasty & Sons: $20 gift certificate Some of these are big ticket items, and all of them have expiration dates (some beginning in June), so we'd like to get them into your hands asap.

The campaign is called EveryoneOn. The key message is to encourage people who are limited or non-Internet users, to learn how to do "one thing better online". Public libraries are key to the success of this effort because of their demonstrated commitment to providing free access to the Internet as well as to improving people's skills (e.g. using a mouse, applying for jobs online, or creating email accounts). Connect2Compete, the organization leading the campaign efforts, has more information that people are encouraged to review on their website. There are three resources currently available: 1) Program brief: Explains more about EveryoneOn and what to expect in the next few months and during the campaign. 2) Frequently Asked Question (FAQ): As questions arise, the document will be updated. 3) Pre-recorded, online session: Discusses much of the documentation. Can be helpful as a review or as additional staff become involved. Because campaign details continue to evolve, the Institute of Museum and Library Services will send updates will be sent as they become available. The first call to action will come later in February to update information about your library in a zip code locator tool to help people looking for digital literacy training or public access computers to see the library as a provider in their area. EveryoneOn is designed to raise awareness of the importance of digital literacy skills - which libraries have embraced for years. This is a great opportunity to promote public libraries as a trusted and valuable provider of free public access technology and training as we strive to build stronger communities. Look for more information soon! Thank you for all you do. _________________________________________________ Ann Reed, Federal Programs Coordinator Oregon State Library Library Development Services 250 Winter St. Salem, OR 97301 ann.reed at state.or.us phone 503-378-5027 fax 503-378-6439 http://www.oregon.gov/OSL/LD/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Patty Murray (D-WA) has announced a new website where citizens can voice their budget priorities. Sen. Murray is the Chairman of the Senate Budget Committee. Here is more information about the website from *CQ:* ** ** "Earlier this week, Murray announced an online effort to engage the public in the federal budget process. MyBudget, as it is called, is designed to provide members of the public with an easy way to pass along stories, ideas, values and priorities related to the budget to Congress." -CQ, 1/29/13**** ** ** Find the website at: http://budget.senate.gov/democratic/index.cfm/mybudget* *** ** ** ** ** You are encouraged use this platform to make sure libraries are a priority in the next budget. Here are some suggested talking points for public and school libraries:**** ** ** * * *Public Libraries***** - 84% of Americans 16 or older have been to a library or bookmobile. In the last year, 59% of Americans used library services.**** - Throughout the economic downturn, patrons have increasingly turned to the local library for information on a wide range of subjects, including job searching.**** - In one year, 30 million Americans used library connections to search and apply for jobs.**** - Over 92% of libraries provide access to job databases and online job applications.**** - Although in the last 10 years the number of computer workstations has doubled, 87% of urban libraries do not have enough computers to meet the daily demand.**** - Libraries provide an important link between the government and the public - when people need to research court cases, look up a fact from an Environmental Protection Agency study or file their taxes they come to the library to do it.**** - Studies show that a child's brain develops the most between birth and age three. Many of the 16,604 public libraries in the United States support parents and caregivers with early childhood literacy programs that train care givers in how to read to children, encourage parents in engaging in their children's literacy development and are designed to help young children learn to read.**** - Support funding for the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA). LSTA funding helps libraries meet community needs, better utilize technology to provide enhanced services, reach underserved populations, and much more.**** *School Libraries***** - Research repeatedly shows that an effective school library program is an integral component of a student's successful education -Across the United States, studies have demonstrated that students in schools with effective library programs learn more, get better grades, and score higher on assessments than their peers in schools without such resources.**** - Even though school libraries are where students develop skills they will need for the 21st century, only 60 percent of public schools have a state-certified school librarian. **** ** ** ** ** ** ** Ted Wegner**** Grassroots Coordinator**** American Library Association**** Washington Office-Office of Government Relations**** 1615 New Hampshire Avenue N.W., 1st Floor**** Washington, DC 20009-2520**** Phone: 202-628-8410**** Fax: 202-628-8419**** twegner at alawash.org**** ** ** -- *Diedre Conkling** Lincoln County Library District P.O.

The discussion points below provide an intellectual freedom framework for talking about the issue of violent video games and violence in media with library trustees, staff, and library users. Resources listed below the discussion points provide more detailed information and analysis about violent media and intellectual freedom. *Discussion points*: * Like literature and film, video games are a creative and expressive medium that entertains, educates, and tells a story. Many libraries collect and lend video games to their users and host video game festivals and contests just as they host book discussions and film festivals. * The courts of law that have examined the legal status of video games have ruled that video games are a form of speech protected by the First Amendment. These courts have also ruled that laws restricting minors' access to video games that are violent or are rated "Mature" are a form of censorship that violates minors' First Amendment rights. * For the same reasons it opposes the censorship of books, magazines, film, and the Internet, ALA opposes the censorship of video games. In accordance with the Library Bill of Rights and the ALA Code of Ethics , librarians should resist efforts to censor or restrict access to video games and other violent media, whether in the library or in society as a whole. * Current research does not conclusively link the consumption of violent video games or other violent media with societal aggression or gun violence. We know of no study that directly links violent behavior or reactions to a book, movie, or video game. ALA welcomes further impartial, systematic and scientific study about whether or not violence in media has an impact on young people. * Parents, not librarians, are responsible for determining what materials are appropriate for their children. While we firmly support the right of library users to voice their concerns and select different materials for themselves and their children, those objecting to violent media should not be given the power to restrict other library users' right to access these materials. * Libraries serve as critical community resources as the public addresses the controversy over gun violence. They supply information and research for the public debates over gun control, mental illness, and depictions of violence in the media. As our nation works to understand and find solutions to gun violence, libraries provide vital resources and spaces for community conversations. *Resources*: "Shooting the Messenger," an essay that explains why social science research does not support a conclusive link between violent media and violent behavior. While dated (2000) its findings remain valid. (PDF document ) "POW! CRACK! What we know about video games and violence," The Washington Post, January 17, 2013.

The first claims on the west coast were made by Spain and England. In the race to lay hold of the Pacific Northwest, many significant explorations and scientific discoveries were made. The Oregon State Library is opening a new exhibit, "The Early Exploration of the Pacific Northwest, 1778 - 1843." Using books from the State Library's Special Collections this exhibit highlights many early expeditions in the Pacific Northwest, starting with the 1778 Oregon Coast explorations by James Cook of England to the United States Exploring Expedition led by Charles Wilkes in 1843. The exhibit will display many other key materials from persons and places such as Robert Gray, George Vancouver, Lewis and Clark and Astoria. Oregon State Library's Special Collections houses manuscripts, photographs, older Oregon documents, Oregon maps, and books and periodicals on numerous Oregon-related topics. Many items in the collection require special handling or protection because they are rare or fragile. Apart from Special Collections, the State Library has an extensive collection of materials on Oregon-related topics including public documents from Oregon government agencies. The Oregon Documents Depository Program ensures continuing access to public documents, as state agencies are required by statute to provide the State Library with copies of their public documents for distribution. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

He traveled to the middle of Ohio for a crash course in interview techniques, field equipment, transcription software and much more. What followed was a burst of recording that transported Chris to exotic locations, including Hawaii and the Valley Library third floor conference room. This light-hearted and informative talk will recount the highlights of Chris' journeys and some of what he learned along the way. This study was generously funded by the Robert Lundeen Library Faculty Development Award. Presenter: Chris Petersen, Faculty Research Assistant, Special Collections and Archive Research Center When: Friday, February 15, 2013, 10:00-11:30am Where: Willamette Industries Seminar Rooms (3622), Valley Library, Oregon State University, Corvallis campus.

The dedication of the Braille American Flag will be in the lobby of the Oregon State Library on Thursday, February 21, 2013 at 2:00 p.m. This event is open to the public. In 2005, the Braille American Flag was created by the son of a now deceased blinded WWII veteran. In 2008, following the unanimous vote of the 110th U.S. Congress, a bronze replica of the flag was placed within the Arlington National Cemetery as a tribute to blind veterans of all wars and other blind Americans. In 2012, the first Braille American Flag in Oregon was dedicated at the Willamette National Cemetery in Portland. The Braille American Flag at the Oregon State Library, Talking Book and Braille Services, is the fourth permanent flag in Oregon to be dedicated by the Oregon Columbia Regional Group of the Blinded Veterans Association for all blind Americans and American veterans with gratitude for their time of service to America. Each year Americans observe important dates in honor of our nation's history and Armed Forces. The flag of the United States of America is a central symbol in each of our important events and in our daily lives. Now, for millions of Americans who are blind or will become blind, the Braille American Flag offers them the opportunity to see or continue to see one of our nation's most treasured symbols. Founded in 2000, the Kansas Braille Transcription Institute, Inc. is a non-profit corporation dedicated to serving the visually impaired. -30- ----------------- Elke H.

I'm not an attorney either but that statement doesn't seem to imply 24/7 mandatory reporting. Philosophically, I have faith in library staff to report alleged incidents of abuse. Not sure we need laws to make us menschs and would prefer the state support us with awareness and education rather than laws that hang liability over our heads. But, that's just me.

Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGuLhYGpMhw Description: Many libraries will be implementing Resource Description & Access (RDA) early in 2013. What will this mean for technical services and other library staff? How are RDA records different from AACR2 records? This webinar provides a general overview of the changes in RDA, particularly those affecting staff in technical services and those noticeable in the OPAC. No knowledge of current cataloging standards or MARC required! This session does not teach how to catalog with RDA, but it can be a useful foundation for catalogers new to RDA as well as other library staff and administrators. Presenter: Lori Robare is Head of the Monographic Cataloging Team at the University of Oregon Libraries. She recently served as Chair of the ALA/ALCTS Committee on Cataloging: Description and Access and has previously served as chair of the ALA/ALCTS Subject Analysis Committee. She has presented frequently on RDA to both specialized and general audiences. Lori, along with Jean Peick from Washington County Cooperative Library Services, will also be presenting a session on "RDA for Copy Catalogers" in April at the 2013 OLA/WLA conference.

I have a patron who is looking for a title of an old book that was possibly written in the 50s or 60s (maybe even 70s, he says). It's an old science fiction (possibly Steampunk?)/fantasy book. He remembers there were airships that needed helium, and the helium came from flowers... He recalls a war going on another planet, which seemed to be a tropical planet. It had the good guys vs. the bad guys theme going on. There may have been a lost colony on an alien planet. I've tried many searches and have asked a few folks around here, but none of us have had luck. I'm hoping this might sound familiar to someone.

FYI, the Locus magazine indexes only go back to the 1980s, but like the print indexes, Locus doesn't really offer a good way to search based on content. Marta ?

I?m hoping the hive mind can help me with a reader?s advisory question. ? I have a patron who is looking for a title of an old book that was possibly written in the 50s or 60s (maybe even 70s, he says). It's an old science fiction (possibly Steampunk?)/fantasy book. He remembers there were airships that needed helium, and the helium came from flowers? He recalls a war going on another planet, which seemed to be a tropical planet. It had the good guys vs. the bad guys theme going on. There may have been a lost colony on an alien planet. ? I've tried many searches and have asked a few folks around here, but none of us have had luck. I?m hoping this might sound familiar to someone. ?

Applicants can log onto the application portal at www.usajobs.gov/GetJob/ViewDetails/337969700 and apply to be a part of NDSR?s inaugural class until the closing date April 5, 2013. The new program, administered by the Library of Congress and supported by IMLS, will allow 10 recent master?s program graduates in relevant fields to complete a nine-month residency at various institutions in the Washington, D.C. area. Beginning in September 2013, accepted residents will attend an intensive two-week digital stewardship workshop at the Library of Congress. Thereafter, residents will move to a host institution to work on significant digital stewardship projects. These projects will allow them to acquire hands-on knowledge and skills involving the collection, selection, management, long-term preservation, and accessibility of digital assets. The Smithsonian Institution Archives, the World Bank, the Library of Congress, and the Public Broadcasting Service are just a few of the renowned institutions that will host the founding NDSR class. Each of these institutions submitted challenging project proposals, which can be viewed on the NDSR website (www.digitalpreservation.gov/ndsr/news.html). Application requirements include a detailed resume and cover letter, undergraduate and graduate transcripts, three letters of recommendation, and a creative video that demonstrates an applicant?s interest in the program. "The video requirement in the application process will help the selection panel identify which candidates are truly passionate about digital preservation," explained George Coulbourne, executive program officer at the Library of Congress?s Office of Strategic Initiatives. For additional information or press inquiries regarding the National Digital Stewardship Residency, go to www.digitalpreservation.gov/ndsr or contact the NDSR at ndsr at loc.gov.

The Obama Administration agrees that citizens deserve easy access to the results of research their tax dollars have paid for. As you may know, the Office of Science and Technology Policy has been looking into this issue for some time and has reached out to the public on two occasions for input on the question of how best to achieve this goal of democratizing the results of federally-funded research. Your petition has been important to our discussions of this issue. The logic behind enhanced public access is plain. We know that scientific research supported by the Federal Government spurs scientific breakthroughs and economic advances when research results are made available to innovators. Policies that mobilize these intellectual assets for re-use through broader access can accelerate scientific breakthroughs, increase innovation, and promote economic growth. That's why the Obama Administration is committed to ensuring that the results of federally-funded scientific research are made available to and useful for the public, industry, and the scientific community. Moreover, this research was funded by taxpayer dollars. Americans should have easy access to the results of research they help support. To that end, I have issued a memorandum today (.pdf)to Federal agencies that directs those with more than $100 million in research and development expenditures to develop plans to make the results of federally-funded research publically available free of charge within 12 months after original publication. As you pointed out, the public access policy adopted by the National Institutes of Health has been a great success. And while this new policy call does not insist that every agency copy the NIH approach exactly, it does ensure that similar policies will appear across government. As I mentioned, these policies were developed carefully through extensive public consultation. We wanted to strike the balance between the extraordinary public benefit of increasing public access to the results of federally-funded scientific research and the need to ensure that the valuable contributions that the scientific publishing industry provides are not lost. This policy reflects that balance, and it also provides the flexibility to make changes in the future based on experience and evidence. For example, agencies have been asked to use a 12-month embargo period as a guide for developing their policies, but also to provide a mechanism for stakeholders to petition the agency to change that period. As agencies move forward with developing and implementing these polices, there will be ample opportunity for further public input to ensure they are doing the best possible job of reconciling all of the relevant interests. In addition to addressing the issue of public access to scientific publications, the memorandum requires that agencies start to address the need to improve upon the management and sharing of scientific data produced with Federal funding. Strengthening these policies will promote entrepreneurship and jobs growth in addition to driving scientific progress. Access to pre-existing data sets can accelerate growth by allowing companies to focus resources and efforts on understanding and fully exploiting discoveries instead of repeating basic, pre-competitive work already documented elsewhere. For example, open weather data underpins the forecasting industry and provides great public benefits, and making human genome sequences publically available has spawned many biomedical innovations--not to mention many companies generating billions of dollars in revenues and the jobs that go with them. Going forward, wider availability of scientific data will create innovative economic markets for services related to data curation, preservation, analysis, and visualization, among others. So thank you again for your petition. I hope you will agree that the Administration has done its homework and responded substantively to your request. Tell us what you think about this response and We the People.

Posted on February 22, 2013 by jmcgilvray Last week, Rep. Mike J. Rogers (R-MI) and Rep. C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger (D-MD) introduced the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act of 2013, H.R. 624 (CISPA) in the House. This is essentially the same bill (H.R. 3523) that the House passed in April of last year and that the President Obama threatened to veto . The President has again made his opinion known, this time via an executive order, Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity. In the absence of legislation in this area, the executive order provides policy for the federal government to increase its cybersecurity. *CISPA would make it possible for private companies to share information with the government while keeping info from the public, violating the spirit of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)*. Page seven, lines 10-13(pdf) of the bill clearly state that cyber threat information shared with the federal government "shall be exempt from disclosure under section 552 of title 5, United States Code (Commonly known as the 'Freedom of Information Act'". The ironic thing is that much of the information that the companies might share is already protected under FOIA! The American Library Association will again work with other civil liberty groups to oppose CISPA. Please stay tuned for more information as this movement progresses!

Who has made history at your library? Perhaps a group of women who helped shape you or your community's interaction with libraries? Maybe even someone whose portrait you pass every day? In celebration of Women's History Month this March 2013, the Feminist Task Force would like to invite submissions to highlight valued women in libraries. This is the perfect time of year to remember the contributions of these important women in librarianship--perhaps the founder or other woman (or group of women) who was significantly involved with your local library. The FTF will host a blog at womenoflibraryhistory.tumblr.com with daily postings of historic women of librarianship throughout the month of March. Why? Highlight the legacy that you still see alive today and share a piece of your library's history with your patrons and library lovers everywhere in celebration of Women's History Month. The write-up will be perfect for your library's own blog. Its inclusion with the submissions of other libraries to this project will illustrate the breadth of contributions women have made to their communities through libraries. To submit: Email an image and brief write-up about a historic* woman or group of women of librarianship to womenoflibraryhistory at gmail.com. If you are including this as a post on your own library's blog, be sure to include the link to your blog so we may include that in our posting to connect viewers to your library. If there is a book or other websites related to your submission, please pass that information along as well. Submissions will be accepted immediately and throughout the end of March. **While we fully appreciate that there are women who have recently done and/or are currently doing amazing things for libraries, only submissions regarding historic women of libraries will be included at womenoflibraryhistory.tumblr.com. However, if there is interest we would be more than happy to also collect submissions for a companion (sister!) site to highlight and celebrate women MAKING history in libraries! Please let us know if you have any questions or input regarding this.* ------ The Feminist Task Force is proud to bring voice and efforts to the intersection of feminist perspectives with issues related to libraries, librarianship, information services, and ALA.

The needs and opportunities of the communities libraries serve vary widely and there are countless worthy projects to support. This grant process is inspired by the California State Library's "Pitch an Idea" program and is intended to solicit a wide range of applications that reflect this diversity. $30,000 in funding is available; maximum grant amount per project is $15,000. Interested libraries can download the application form on this page, complete it, and return it per the instructions on the form. All applications are due by April 5th at 4pm ET. During the Selection Period selected libraries may be contacted by Better World Books for interviews or to provide additional project details as part of the evaluation process. Selection Criteria: As you develop your Game Changing Ideas, keep the following in mind: * Answer questions fully. Where questions have multiple parts, be sure to address all parts. Omissions make it difficult to evaluate your application. * Projects should address the literacy needs of underserved populations in their community. Literacy needs are defined by broadly identifying, understanding, interpreting, creating, communicating, and computing information to live a more fulfilling and productive life. * Libraries may pitch only one project each, with a maximum award of $15,000. Please be sure to clearly outline the project elements that require the requested funds. * Projects that will have a measurable and long term impact on an underserved population and will continue to operate after grant funds have been utilized will be looked upon favorably. * Better World Books looks forward to reviewing applications that bring a fresh and inspired approach to challenging issues.
