If you are planning on attending the OYAN Winter meeting at the Salem Public Library this Friday, January 21st and want to purchase lunch, please remember to notify me with your order no later than 3:00 pm on Thursday, January 20th (tomorrow!). Lunch is offered through Queen of Tarts Bakery & Cafe; please visit their website [http://www.queenoftartsbakerycafe.blogspot.com/] to view the menu and make your selection. (Please note: They are in the process of raising prices on some of their menu items, but don't yet have those prices on their printed menu, so you will still be charged the "old" price, rather than what you see on the website. Once you place your order, I will confirm with you the actual amount due). Hope to see you there! Susan Ludington Teen Services Librarian Salem Public Library sludington at cityofsalem.net 503.589.2062 P.S. Although the soon-to-be-opened Teen Library will be open for touring at our meeting, I'm sorry to say that we have not received shelving or other furniture as of yet, so this first look will only be a teaser of what's to come! Hopefully many of you will also be attending OLA in April, giving you the opportunity to see the finished product in full swing... -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Chicago, IL: American Library Association. ISBN: 978-0-8389-8559-5. Each year, the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA) sponsors two national literacy initiatives: Teen Read Week(tm), which encourages teens to read for fun and become regular library users, and Teen Tech Week(tm), which encourages teens to take advantage of the free technology available at libraries. Since 2003, YALSA's award-winning quarterly journal, Young Adult Library Services has offered guidance for librarians planning Teen Read Week and Teen Tech Week events. For the first time, YALSA has compiled the best YALS articles on teen reading and teen information literacy into one volume, Teen Read Week and Teen Tech Week: Tips and Resources for YALSA's Initiatives, launching its new Best of YALS series. Editor Megan Fink, middle school librarian at the Charlotte Country Day School and a former Teen Read Week chair, selected articles to form a manual that will offer guidance to librarians planning their annual events, with advice on best practices, collection development, outreach and marketing, program ideas and more. In addition, YA authors Walter Dean Myers and Cynthia Leitich Smith and Best Teen Read Week contest winners Elizabeth Kahn and Jennifer Vel?squez contributed original content about the importance of these initiatives and how they support teens' information needs, along with an introduction by YALSA past president Judy Nelson. This project was funded by a 2010 Carnegie-Whitney Grant from the American Library Association.

So far we have selected 15 titles. We have selected 14 other titles to possibly take up the last five spots and more fully round-off the list according to our guidelines. I have another survey monkey poll to vote of these spots. Of the 14, a couple of titles, which were not initially nominated, were added. Like the other 12, these fill a void left by 15 titles that are definitely of this year's Book Rave. These two books are Janis Joplin : Rise Up Singing by Ann Angel and Hush by Eishes Chayil. Please read as many of these titles as your able and vote by March 1st. Remember if you vote from the same computer, you'll be able to visit the poll many times over and it will remember how you've voted. Here is the Survey Monkey poll: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/YWXBTJW Kris Lutsock Reference/Teen Services 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.

Cedar Mill Community Library ? Douglas County Library System ? Eugene Public Library ? Lake County Library District ? Stayton Public Library. This year as I was reviewing your Final Reports the following projects really stuck out in my mind and I thought they may be of interest to other libraries: Book Art: Cedar Mill Community Library A select number of in-home childcare sites received 4 pictures with instructions and supplies for an age-appropriate art experience based on the stories in the books. Outreach volunteers read the books at the participating childcare sites and children created art corresponding art projects. Examples of the artwork with the children?s comments were displayed at the library. The children were given special invitations to share with families and friends for an ?Opening Night? event at the library. Baby Showers: Lake County Library District and Klamath County Library In partnership with the local Public Health Office and pediatricians, invitations to a baby shower at the libraries were sent to new parents. Local businesses and organizations donated refreshments and baby-related gifts such as bibs, blankets, and toys to giveaway to parents at the baby shower. The libraries, both Reading for Healthy Families participants, had ?a captive audience to spread the early literacy message!? Big Rig Summer Reading Kick-Off: St. Helen?s Public Library ?When families came to see the 17 different rigs, we gave them a voucher for a free hardhat to be redeemed inside the library. The line streamed out the front door of the library and our door count? was double for a typical day! We were able to sign-up participants that had not been in the library before? Other interesting items from your Ready to Read reports: Several libraries described successful partnerships with schools/teachers that brought teen parenting classes (parents with their babies!) to the library, and many libraries reported that circulation of Oregon Battle of the Books titles was very high during the summer reading program. Thank you all for the wonderful library youth services you provide your communities!
