Message-ID: <813A01DF90DA7C4489F0AFC875D9964673C1A221C6@cesrv011.eugene1.net> Hi, all, At our recent Summer OYAN meeting, we determined 10 of the 15 titles for this year's Graphic Rave. We still have space for five more deserving titles. Please look over this survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/GN8DM6S Read all that you can, and vote for your favorite five by September 1st! Three things to remember: 1. There are certain criteria that must be met with the 15 books on our list. By doing this second vote, we will be adding 5 more books that will complete the list and fulfill all of our designated criteria. As a reminder, here's a list of criteria: a. A wide variety of genres is desirable. It may include fantasy, suspense, mystery, historical fiction, science fiction, romance, sports, adventure, animal stories, growing up, contemporary realism, poetry and non-fiction. A title may fulfill more than one criterion. The following will be mandatory each year: * At least one non-fiction title * At least three titles published by a non-major publisher. * At least three titles published by publisher located in the Pacific Northwest. * At least three trade collections of comics originally released as separate issues. * At least three titles created in the Manga style. * At least three titles should be published by a major publisher. b. A variety of books for younger and older teens must be included. c. A balance between male and female protagonists is desirable. d. Multiple titles by the same author may be considered if each title is in a different genre. e. Only one title in a series will be considered per year (it does not need to be the first volume). f. The list should reflect multicultural diversity. 2. Please, please only use the "no" vote if you feel a certain book is very inappropriate for this list - not just something you don't personally like. 3. Remember the booklist serves 6th-12th grades, so everything on the list is appropriate for Graphic Rave. Let me know if you have any questions!

SUMMER READING SWEEPSTAKES MEDIA PARTNERSHIP The Oregon College Savings Plan is pleased to announce a summer reading media partnership with KATU! Here is what you can expect: * KATU will create one 30 second promotional spot (TV commercial). The spot will promote the sweepstakes by encouraging families to go to their local library to participate in the summer reading program and enter the sweepstakes at their library. * KATU will run the promo 100 times on their regular TV station and 60 times on their digital cable station KATU.2 starting the first week of June. * KATU will run 4 summer reading segments on AM Northwest. The first three segments will probably air the first week of June, July, and August (no set dates yet) and the last segment will air later in September so we can announce the winners of the sweepstakes on TV. * KATU will have a summer reading sweepstakes banner on their website that, when site visitors click on it, takes people to a "landing page" with information about the sweepstakes, directs folks to go to their libraries to participate in summer reading and enter the sweepstakes, and provides suggested reading lists. * The State Library logo and the OLA logo will be on the KATU "landing page" just like they already are on the sweepstakes posters, flyers, entry forms, and bookmarks. SUMMER READING CERTIFICATES ARE COMING SOON The 2012 Oregon Summer Reading Certificates are at the printers! Ferol Weyand, the Library Development Assistant, will start shipping them out as soon as they arrive at the State Library. We are hoping to get them shipped to you by the first week of June. Questions? Contact Ferol at 503-378-2525 or ferol.weyand at state.or.us. The State Library is in the midst of changing content management systems for our website so I am not sure when I will be able to post the digital copies of the certificates online for you to print on demand. I will announce when they are available online via this listserv-hopefully the first week of June too! STATISTICS TO COLLECT FOR THIS SUMMER Many of you requested that I send out a reminder about what statistics you will be asked to report on the 2012 summer reading statistics and ordering survey so you can be sure you're collecting the right data this summer. The 2012 summer reading statistics and ordering survey will be conducted during September 2012 and compiled into the 3rd Annual Summer Reading Brief. The link to the survey will be emailed out in September on the Ready to Read listserv to ensure that library directors are kept informed and that only one person fills out the survey per library. OLA's Young Adults Network (OYAN) will conduct a different survey in the fall that all library staff can take to share their feedback on the 2012 summer reading program and make suggestions for upcoming programs. Below are the summer reading statistics your library will be asked to report this Fall. Keep in mind that Oregon libraries are at liberty to implement the statewide summer reading program in whatever way works best for their communities therefore libraries may not track all of these statistics-that's okay, you don't have to report something you don't track. Please let me know if you have any questions. Do children and teens have to sign-up (or register) to participate in your summer reading program? If yes, then: * How many children and teens total signed up? * If you track children and teens separately, how many CHILDREN signed-up? * If you track children and teens separately, how many TEENS signed-up? Do children and teens participating in your summer reading program fill out a reading record (reading log, game board, etc.) to track how much they read/listen to books over the summer? If yes, then: * How many children and teens turned in completed reading records (i.e. how many finishers did you have)? * If children and teens reported the amount of time they spent reading on their reading records, how many HOURS did they read? (For example: If kids had to read 10 hours to complete a reading record and your library received 78 completed reading records, then you would enter '780' as your answer to this question. You can report to your stakeholders that kids at your library read 780 hours over the summer.) * If children and teens reported the number of pages they read on their reading records, how many PAGES did they read? (For example: If kids had to read 100 pages to complete a reading record and your library received 52 completed reading records, then you would enter '5,200' as your answer to this question. You can report to your stakeholders that kids at your library read 5,200 pages over the summer.) * If children and teens reported the number of books they read on their reading records, how many BOOKS did they read? (For example: If kids had to read 5 books to complete a reading record and your library received 100 completed reading records, then you would enter '500' as your answer to this question. You can report to your stakeholders that kids at your library read 500 books over the summer.) * If children and teens didn't report amount of time spent reading, number of pages read, or number of books read on their reading records; how did they track their reading over the summer? How many CHILDREN'S summer reading programs/activities/events did you offer? How many people attended summer reading programs/activities/events targeting CHILDREN? How many TEEN summer reading programs/activities/events did you offer? How many people attended summer reading programs/activities/events targeting TEENS? Did your library have an adult summer reading program? If yes, then: * How many adults participated? * How did you track participation? Only include programs if they are an integral part of your summer reading program. For example, story times: Do track story times at which the books and activities are tied to the summer reading theme and/or kids can count story time on their reading records. This type of story time is integral to your summer reading program! Do NOT track story times at which the books and activities are NOT tied to the summer reading theme and kid cannot count story time on their reading records. This story time is not part of your summer reading program; it is just a continuation of the story time program your library provides year-round. This type of program is still very important and you will have an opportunity to report it when your library director submits your Public Library Statistics.

This is Oregon Afterschool for Kid's fourth year convening Oregon's afterschool professionals. As a collaboration of public and private organizations and community members, we are thrilled to host this annual conference to afterschool professionals working in child care, recreation, education, youth development and specialized content areas. We anticipate 350 people! This year, our conference focus is on STEM in Afterschool. Our keynote presenter is Dr.Anita Krishnathurthi from Washington DC, from the Afterschool Alliance, where she is the Director of STEM Policy. She leads the Alliance's efforts to advance policies, research and partnerships so children and youth have rich STEM education experiences in their afterschool programs. Anita is an astronomer by training and has been deeply involved in science education and outreach to a wide variety of audiences for the past decade in a range of roles. As a scientist, she personally feels the urgency of expanding STEM learning opportunities and providing equitable access for a diverse group of children and youth. She strongly believes that afterschool programs play a critically important role in reforming STEM education and that they must be treated as strategic partners in STEM education. 2012 Workshop Topics: * The Adolescent Brain- How It Works and How We Can Work With It * An Intentional Approach to Positive Youth Development in Youth Programming * Hands-on Science 101 * Sustainability in Afterschool - Creating your Plan * Volunteer Management * P.O.E.T.R.Y. in Motion * Engaging Students in STEM subjects through FIRST Robotics programs * So Now What?

Not a Potter fan, you may be interested to know that they will likely have a "Lit Track" of other authors. The 2013 authors have not been announced yet, but here is the list of authors who were at Leaky Con 2012 to give you an idea of the caliber of authors involved: * Holly Black * John Green * Lev Grossman * Maureen Johnson * Stephanie Perkins * Margaret Stohl * Laini Taylor * Robin Wasserman * Jennifer Laughran * Rebecca Sherman * Kate Schafer Testerman The Leaky Con website has completely transitioned to the 2013 conference, but here is a decent recap of the 2012 conference to give you a better idea what it may be all about: http://www.chicagonow.com/geek-girl-chicago/2012/08/leaky-con-2012-recap-harry-potter-and-the-windy-city/#image/1. Needless to say, this could be a very significant literary event right here in our own back yard!
