(2010). Library Programs for Teens: Mystery Theater. Lanham, MD: Scarecrow Press. It's no mystery that fun and exciting programs bring teens into the library. Theater programs provide a venue for teens to express themselves creatively, encourage their participation in library programming, and offer them the opportunity for lively interaction with peers and adults. In Library Programs for Teens: Mystery Theater, Karen Siwak provides readers with complete instructions for creating a successful mystery theater program. With this guide, Siwak solves the ever puzzling programming issues of timing, setting clues, props, costumes, decorations, and food. In addition to providing a basic formula for such programs, Siwak presents nine original teen-tested scripts-from the intriguing "Medieval Murder" to the hijinks of "Case of the Looney Librarian"-that will appeal to a wide variety of audiences. Reproducible graphics, flyers, bookmarks, invitations, nametags, book tie-ins, and player worksheets are included with each script. Programming is no longer perplexing with this heavily-illustrated collection of original mystery theater scripts for teens. Public and school librarians will find this volume a valuable tool for educational and entertaining programming and also for simply planning a fun party.

Session details will be available in June. Registration will take place in July. The Focus on Children and Young Adults Institute seeks to provide a foundation of professional knowledge about youth services necessary for the operation of small public libraries. Participants will attend several training sessions over the course of three and a half days. The sessions concentrate on the principles of public library services to children and teens, and how to put those principles into practice. Session topics may change from year to year based on research, library practices, and trends which change and improve continually. Feedback from the previous Focus Institute participants is also considered when planning session topics. Training sessions are presented by highly skilled, experienced Youth Services Librarians in Oregon. Presenters are typically active members of the Oregon Library Association's Children's Services Division (CSD) and Oregon Young Adult Network (OYAN). The Focus Institute is held in September of even numbered years. Registration is limited to 24 participants. It is designed for library staff who serve children and teens, and have no graduate level education in librarianship. Staff from libraries that are not yet offering youth services programs constitute the highest priority for the Institute, if attendance will result in the library implementing programs for youth. The Focus Institute is able to keep costs low for participants because it is primarily supported by the Institute of Museum and Library Services through the Library Services and Technology Act, administered by the Oregon State Library.

And we want you to know that we understand how tight budgets are, which is why we are working extra hard behind the scenes to do what we can to help. We are writing to a select few of our clients and those who have expressed interest in our shows in the past to let you know that we are applying for an NEA (National Endowment for the Arts) ?Art Works? grant. Our proposal will enable us to bring you programs at substantially reduced rates (possibly even free) but first we need your help. We are looking to partner with community organizations (not schools) that are open to the public and that serve underprivileged and/or Deaf and hearing-impaired populations. This can mean kids and families at economic disadvantage (who isn?t these days?) or who wouldn?t otherwise have access to the arts, especially theatre, due to location. In conjunction with our show we?d be offering workshops to teach performing arts. Our proposal aims to reach 40 locations nationwide. Please feel free to pass this email along to any other organization you feel could benefit. Library systems are welcome to request more than one show. If we are awarded the grant, the shows and workshops would need to be scheduled after January 1st, 2013 and no later than the end of 2015, from September through May. We can decide upon specific dates later. The application is deadline is March 8th. If you are interested, we?d like to hear from you by Wednesday, February 15th so we can take care of the necessary paperwork. Our goal is to reach as many children as possible. Please give us an estimate of how many kids would be in attendance (we realize this is a ballpark figure) and a brief statement as to why this would benefit your community. In the event we have more than 40 applicants we?ll be choosing partners based on need. Please know that the NEA needs to know now who the beneficiaries will be, they are funny like that. As much as we?d like to we will not be able to add your location(s) later.

In formulating your questions, I recommend that you think about one or two attributes or characteristics that are important to you in this position. You are encouraged to email your questions in advance to me at Twyla.Lawson at state.or.us. As facilitator, I will do my best to fit in as many questions as possible. At the end of the forum, we will provide the attendees a survey link to collect your feedback regarding the candidates' strengths and challenges. The information will then be compiled and provided to the Board of Trustees prior to them making a final decision. After the forum, audio and video recordings will be posted on the OSL web site. The event will occur at the Oregon Department of Administrative Services (Executive Office Building), Conference Room B, 155 Cottage St. NE, Salem, Oregon. Please note, there is metered parking.

The national Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP) is conducting a survey for all library staff at public libraries across the country. This survey is designed to find out what all types of library staff think about the having one summer reading slogan or 4 slogans (as we currently do) and if library staff want 1 artist for all ages or 4 artists, one designing artwork for each age-range (as we do now). It is okay if staff at the same library have a different opinion about the slogan(s) and art-this is everyone's opportunity to share their professional opinion. Here is the link to the survey: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/OneSlogan Here is the person to contact if you have any questions about the survey: Jasmine Rockwell Jasmine.Rockwell at state.sd.us Children's & Youth Services Coordinator South Dakota State Library 800 Governors Drive Pierre, SD 57501 (605) 773-5066 Katie Anderson, Library Development Services * Youth Services Consultant * Oregon Center for the Book Coordinator * Oregon State Library, 250 Winter St. NE, Salem, OR 97301 katie.anderson at state.or.us, 503-378-2528 _____________________________________________________ All Oregon public, volunteer, and tribal libraries are members of the Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP), and receive a free summer reading manual.

Message-ID: <813A01DF90DA7C4489F0AFC875D9964673A3F23BB7@cesrv011.eugene1.net> Hi, all! My name is Traci Glass, and I am the incoming vice co-chair of OYAN along with Aimee Meuchel. For those of you who are new to OYAN or the list serve, I am also the coordinator for Graphic Rave - OYAN's annual list of the best graphic novels, comics and manga for teens. This is our inaugural Graphic Rave, and I'm very excited to be coordinating the creation of the list of our recommended books in a graphic format! The process will be almost if not totally identical to the process we all go through to come up with our Book Rave list. Attached is the Graphic Rave nominations spreadsheet. New recommendations are in red, so this being the first publishing of this year's spreadsheet, all titles are in red. In future updates, previously suggested titles with a new nomination will get a red addition to the nominations number (always welcome as these might prompt others to give the book a try). Also included are the month and year of publication, author's name, and the book's genre. There's a "tags" field on the spreadsheet, in case a one word genre description just doesn't do it justice as well as a publisher field since one of our criteria will be highlighting works published by independent and smaller publishers as well as publishers located in the Pacific Northwest. Please note that books must be published between May 1, 2011 to April 30, 2012 to qualify. If you can't open up the attachment (which seems to be commonplace with those of you receiving this in the digest form), e-mail me and I can send you the file directly to your e-mail. When nominating a book, please include the author, title, genre, month and year of publication and publisher. Send all nominations to traci.l.glass at ci.eugene.or.us. The last day to nominate a title is June 1st. Here are some official dates to remember: * June 1: Nominations close. * June 15: Preliminary voting opens. * July 15: Preliminary voting closes. Again, please send all nominations to traci.l.glass at ci.eugene.or.us. Also, feel free to let me know if you have any questions! Thanks!

And many educators are now becoming more skilled at using technology in their classrooms, whether it?s laptops, digital whiteboards, or smartphones. But experts say that to get the best results for students, it?s important to be deliberate and thoughtful in the way technology is incorporated into curricula. Just layering technology on top of an already existing curriculum is often not the best way to enhance the learning process and maximize the effectiveness of the technology tools available. School and district technology leaders and curriculum experts must work together to find the best way to integrate technology into teaching and learning in order to develop the most innovative and successful methods for delivering curricula to students. For more information and to register for this program, visit: http://www.edweek.org/ew/marketplace/webinars/webinars.html March 1 (1-2 pm) Engaging Volunteers During Difficult Economic Times (Infopeople) With service levels at all time highs and funding elusive to meet the demand for service, many libraries are engaging volunteers more proactively or even for the first time. Involving volunteers in delivering library services can be rewarding, challenging, yet also time intensive. And, while volunteers may offer their services for free, there are still costs that need to be considered when planning a volunteer program.

(Montana State Library) With libraries providing more computing access to patrons, it is important to know how to use and be able to share the free tools that are available on the Internet.

Google Docs allows you to store many different types of files and only those not created in Google Docs count against your storage space. Any time you have access to the Internet you have access to Google Docs. The user has the option to keep the documents private to his account or to share them. Each document and each folder can be shared with specific people or it can be made public for anyone to view. This makes it easy for people to collaborate on a project as well as share information.

But there's so much confusion over what they mean, and what they mean to those of us in the business. A few truths: ? Social learning isn't new. ?

Those people likely don't think of what they're doing as "learning". In this session we'll spend some time looking at real examples of social and informal learning as it happens in workplaces all the time, every day.
