But, being the hard-numbers-driven type that you are, you might be looking for a little proof. In this hour-long webinar, sponsored by Top Shelf Productions, ABDO Publishing Group, and SLG Publishing, Booklist associate editor Ian Chipman is joined by Christian Zabriskie, Assistant Coordinator of Young-Adult Services at Queens Library, whose research will open your eyes to the true potential for graphic novels, both for adults and youth, to spike those circulation numbers through the roof. And with looks at exciting new titles from our three sponsors, this is an event you can't afford to miss.

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 Dominican Study: Public Library Summer Reading Programs Close the Reading Gap. River Forest, IL: Graduate School of Library & Information Science at Dominican University This is one of the few existing studies on public library summer reading programs and their impact on student achievement. It was conducted by the the Graduate School of Library & Information Science at Dominican University in collaboration with the Johns Hopkins University Center for Summer Learning and was funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). This study includes results, of course, and recommendations to public libraries for increases the impact their summer reading program has on children and teens. You can read the executive summary (4 pages) and the final report (103 pages) online or by checking out hard copies from the Oregon State Library.

At the forefront is a response to our request to change the printing and custom paper product issue. As it currently stands, members may use the artwork "to create a quantity of less than 10,000 customized reading records or customized reading certificates to be printed in-house or by a local printer." All other customized paper items get "first right of refusal" from the Exclusive Vendor. Thank you to Oregon librarians for speaking up on this issue. It is because of your activism that use of the artwork with customized reading logs was resolved in such a manner. From the meeting it seemed like other states had the issue, but didn't voice their frustration like you did. Great job! Another issue that received attention at the committee meeting was that of partners/sponsors and their use of CSLP copyrighted materials. The committee clarified that partners/sponsors are great as long as they do not reflect negatively on CSLP (see article 2 of the bylaws if you need any clarification). Any recognition of a partner/sponsor on the library's website may not contain a hyperlink to the partner/sponsor's website (though oddly you can have their internet address without a hyperlink). Partners/sponsors may only use "the CSLP Approved Logos found in the Downloads section of the CSLP website" in any display they use to show that they are helping out with summer programming. They may not use "art/graphics in any form from the Manual/CD/DVD[.]" The committee also visited other issues during the year. They: * Registered the trademarked CSLP logos * Negotiated more logo use with Highsmith (CSLP Exclusive Vendor) * Added a FAQ section to the website * Responded to various questions from members and others * Wagged their fingers (and backed it up with lawyers) at people making money off their trademarked graphics, or misusing the CSLP name * Reviewed and edited the CSLP Rules of Use * Did a great presentation, IN SONG, of the above at the CSLP meeting! If you'd like more information on this subject, please review the full April 2011 Annual Report (from which I have quoted heavily in this update: http://www.cslpreads.org/about/rules-of-use.html.

Basically, it mandated that school districts must also account for a ?strong school library program? as part of their continuous improvement plans (CIP). Fairly soon thereafter, ODE added to the CIP requirements four library questions, which were drafted and recommended by an ad hoc OASL work group. For many reasons, ODE has not yet updated the related Oregon Administrative Rule (OAR). Currently, they are waiting for the results of SB560, which could modify districts? requirements to file CIPs. Ruth Murray, OASL President, testified against the bill at a Senate hearing in early April, on the grounds that if districts do not have to regularly file their plans, they may not take the planning and actionable items as seriously, and that could adversely affect HB2586. The Senate passed the bill on April 13th, and it is now awaiting review by the House Rules Committee. http://gov.oregonlive.com/bill/2011/SB560/ http://www.leg.state.or.us/comm/sms/sms11/sb0560asewd04-05-2011.pdf http://hb2586faqs.wikispaces.com/ (A review of HB2586 to help school library staff better understand it.) SB978 Would Have Created a Task Force on School Libraries SB978 was formally introduced in the Senate on April 18th on behalf of the Oregon Library Association. It would have created a 12-member task force on school libraries with the charge of ?making evaluations and developing recommendations to provide quality school libraries.? Because it did not move forward before yesterday?s deadline, this bill is likely dead. http://gov.oregonlive.com/bill/2011/SB978/ (You can read the text of the bill under Full Measure Text in the column on the left.) SB250 Allows Schools to Opt Out of Education Service Districts Among other things, proponents say that ESD bureaucracies eat up money that schools could spend on their own speech therapists, classroom teachers, etc. An argument opponents make is that allowing schools to opt out would create or widen an inequity in districts and services across the state. According to Oregon Live?s bill tracker, the bill is being reviewed by the Senate Ways and Means Committee. http://gov.oregonlive.com/bill/2011/SB250/ http://bit.ly/lIl2FK (sampling of news coverage and opinions) SB240 Requires School Employees to Report Bullying Should it become law, Senate Bill 240 would require ?school employees to report acts of harassment, intimidation or bullying and acts of cyberbullying.? It would also allow ?remedial action for failure to report? and require schools to ?prominently post? related policies. Yesterday it was passed by the Senate, so it should move to the House. http://gov.oregonlive.com/bill/2011/SB240/ http://www.oregonlive.com/politics/index.ssf/2011/04/oregon_senate_passes_bill_to_i.html HB 2732 Requires Students to Apply to College, Apprenticeship, or Military Before Receiving High School Diploma ?Or, students can attend an officially sanctioned orientation about an apprenticeship or training session.

If given time, we might discuss them at the OYAN membership meeting at the Fernridge Public Library. We, the graphic novel subcommittee, discussed and made the on our best intuitions about what we thought would be most useful. However, we would like input as to your thoughts. Items to consider- Focus on popular titles: YALSA makes a great list featuring some of the graphic novels of perhaps more "literary" nature. Rather than recreate YALSA's wheel, we decided to have the list focus on popular titles, helping librarians make decisions among requests for characters/genres they are more often hearing from their teen user community. Number of books on the list: Are we going to get enough librarians to participate (and those that do to read enough of the nominees) to get are targeted number of titles? Publication dates. Are we giving ourselves enough time, given the world of mouth nature of the format, to read these titles before they are out of our consideration range? I will try to remember to bring enough copies of the guidelines for everyone.
