[Libs-Or] Stop Drop and Read on May 28th at 1:30-1:45pm

[Katie Anderson]

*Please excuse the cross posting.

Reading For All's Stop Drop and Read program is expanding statewide from Yamhill County. Stop Drop and Read is a great and easy way to foster an all-ages culture of reading in Oregon. Individuals may participate at home and organizations, agencies, and businesses may participate at their offices.

If  you/your organization would like to participate in Stop Drop and Read... read on!

Easy ideas if you want to participate:

  *   Print the attached posters and display them in and around your building. At 1:30 on May 28th use the intercom to announce the start of Stop Drop and Read and at 1:45 to announce the end.
  *   Forward this email to your clients and/or community partners to invite them to participate individually, in their buildings, or at your work place.

A little more effort for greater participation:

  *   Print more posters and display them around town-perhaps add a sticker to the poster to personalize it and invite people to participate in Stop Drop and Read at your work place.
  *   Have any friends who are poets, authors, storytellers or other who might be amazing readers? Ask one or two of them to come to your workplace to do a reading/storytime/storytelling from 1:30-1:45 on May 28th.
  *   Create a display for Stop Drop and Read.
  *   Send out a press release announcing your Stop Drop and Read activity.
  *   Have an outreach program? Have staff bring Stop Drop and Read to outreach locations!

The State Library will be doing both of the easy ideas I listed. We will be forwarding this email to the Oregon Association of School Libraries, the Oregon Literary Coalition, OregonASK (statewide afterschool provider network), the state level Childhood Care and Education Coordinating Council, and summer reading partners at ODE and Oregon College Savings Plan.



Have fun!

Katie
