[Libs-Or] FW: 1911 Commemorative Oregon Blue Book

[YAMAKA Julie A]

Dear Oregon Blue Book fan,

A limited number of the newly released 2015-16 Oregon Blue Book are still
available. This new edition features an expanded color section exploring
Oregon's early rural schools with photos, artwork and memorabilia from
Oregon¹s
historical societies. The purpose of the exhibit is to look back at the
Colorful history of rural education in Oregon before World War II when
small town
Life revolved around the local schoolhouse.

The 2015-16 Blue Book also features ‹ for the first time ‹ winning essays
From a statewide contest that asked elementary and middle school children
what
They loved about Oregon. These essays provide a fresh perspective on our
state
And create a time capsule for Oregonians in the future.

The Oregon Blue Book, Oregon¹s official fact book and almanac, has been
updated and re-published every two years since 1911. It is an institution,
a state icon and a collector¹s item. This year's Blue Book had a limited
run and
Only about 1,300 remain. They can be purchased from the State Archives
online at: https://secure.sos.state.or.us/prs/shopBlueBook.do
or at the Capitol Gift Shop, Powell's Portland locations and a limited
number of bookstores around the state.

If you would like more information about the Blue Book and its
availability you can contact Julie Yamaka at 503-378-5199 or
