They actually involved Tim Gunn! You probably won't be able to duplicate that particular part of their program, but there are a lot of other great elements that could be adapted -- especially the part where a librarian shares information that could be useful to the teens in coming up with designs, like costume and fashion print resources & databases.

Local businesses and organization donate the prizes. In the past we have sold and drawn raffle tickets at the OLA annual conference. Last year we allowed for people purchasing raffle tickets online. Many local businesses have indicated they only offer donations to local libraries (K'lyn could not convince them that a state-wide organization covers their local area). It was decided last year that the best way to solicit donations was to have an OYAN member who works at a library in close proximity to the desired business/organization contact said business/organization. Thus, last year, donation request letters were sent by many of your fellow OYAN members (perhaps you were one of them; thank you if this was the case). We are going to do the same thing again this year. We'll will provide a basic template for the donation request letter. If you choose to help out (or I strong arm you into it) a brief, pleasant personal introduction could/should be included. I should have the template available soon. If you participated in this endeavor last year and would like to assist again with a particular organization (or several such organizations) let me know. If you can think of a local organization that you think we provide a nice prize for some lucky raffle-participant (and you or someone you know would be willing to contact them), let me know and we'll add them to our master spreadsheet. I have included a spreadsheet of businesses that were approached last year and some of the prizes that they donated. With this you'll have an idea of for what (or about how much) you should ask. If you are reading this on the list serve digest and did not get the spreadsheet attachment, please e-mail me personally and I will send the attachment to you individually. kris.lutsock at mcminnville.or.us Kris Lutsock Reference/Teen Services OYAN Vice-Chair/Chair Elect McMinnville Public Library kris.lutsock at mcminnville.or.us 971-237-1322 Give thy mind to books and libraries, and the literature and lore of the ages will give thee the wisdom of sage and seer. - Newell D.

At the January meeting we discussed the concern about funding for the Ready to Read Grant. As you remember, the State Librarian recommends that libraries talk with their key stakeholders and Legislators. It will be extremely helpful if Legislators have heard about your concerns around Ready to Read from you directly. I distributed a handout that I said I would email on this listserv. The attached 'advocacy-handout-template.doc' is for you to edit by plugging in your county's statistics following the links provided in the template. As I said in the meeting, please edit this however you want. This is just a template for those of you who don't have time to create your own handout from scratch. This handout can be shared with local key stakeholders and your Legislators to educate them about the value of early literacy and summer reading, and how the library can support those efforts. Please let me know if you have any questions. Those of you who aren't able to access the attachment can email me and I send it to you directly.

Kristine McConnell, Deschutes Public Library 14. Brian Carley, Multnomah County Library, Gresham Branch 15. Kim Richardson, Tualatin Public Library Dive Into Saving for College Recap: * 6,713 Oregon children and teens were entered into the drawing by their parents or guardians. * Entries were received from 201 libraries and branches in Oregon. * Oregon received the second highest number of entries among the 9 states that offered Dive Info Saving for College last summer. Announcing Destination College Savings: * The 2011 summer reading sweepstake will be called Destination College Savings. * Libraries ordered materials for Destination College Savings when they completed the summer reading survey in November. Libraries should start receiving these materials in the beginning of May. * Destination College Savings will begin June 1, 2011 and end September 2, 2011. * The entry age for parents and guardians of summer reading participants will be lowered from 21 to 18 years of age, and materials will more clearly explain that adults may enter both for their own children (teens) and their grandchildren (teens' babies). We are unable to lower the age more because federal law prohibits people under 18 entering this program. * Librarians and their families will be eligible to enter, as will most State employees. The only people not eligible are employees of the Office of the State Treasurer, TIAA-CREF, the PR firms marketing the sweepstakes and the employees' families. * Winners will be selected in a random drawing within the first few weeks of September 2011. Once winners' eligibility has been verified, they will be notified and given until approximately October 15, 2011 to complete and return the paperwork necessary to claim their prize. Libraries will be notified that they have a winner after their winner's paperwork has been approved and they have been confirmed as a winner. Libraries with confirmed winners will receive a sample press release so they can publicize their winner locally as soon as possible. Statewide publicity will take place for all winners who claimed their prize by approximately October 15-probably the beginning of November 2011. * There will not be a re-draw for prizes not claimed by the October 15 deadline. However, libraries listed on the entry form of the person who did not claim their prize will still receive $500 for participating in Destination College Savings. Please let me know if you have any questions about the changes.

ISBN: 978-1555706920. Expert author Rollie Welch, a longtime member of YALSA'S Best Books Committee and Quick Picks for Reluctant Young Adult Readers, makes collection building easy for school and public librarians through this extraordinarily sound, field-tested and diverse selection of recommended, acclaimed and award-winning titles. This remarkable new tool has been extensively revised and expanded to include a comprehensive, up-to-date guide to over 1,200 must-have titles across 34 different genres that will appeal to teens of all different ages, genders, ethnicities, and economic backgrounds. Along with material that spans the gamut of fiction and non-fiction subgenres, from action and adventure to fantasy to history to science-fiction, Welch includes a number of innovative new sections dedicated to more specific interests, like supernatural beings, edgier "almost-street" literature, coming-of-age tales, graphic novels, religious-themed fiction and new classics. Each title includes full bibliographic information along with an annotation that provides a brief plot and character summary, an audience recommendation, and content advisories. A companion CD-ROM offers titles and lists in various formats (Excel, Word) to facilitate easy collection maintenance, selection, and acquisition. Novice and veteran librarians alike will find this to be the ultimate go-to-source for YA collection development.
