Technology and Literacy: 21st Century Library Programming for Children & Teens. Chicago: ALA, 2012. 027.625 Nelso ISBN 978-0-8389-1108-2 Technology may not be a magic wand, but innovative technology programming can genuinely help children become adept at navigating our increasingly wired world while also helping them develop deductive reasoning, math, and other vital literacy skills. One of the simplest and most powerful tools for technology-based public library programming is called Scratch. It s a free, easy-to-use programming language that can be used to create everything from 3-D animation and graphics to music-enhanced presentations and games. This book * Explains how to use Scratch, and how it has already been used in libraries around the country to create technology workshops for youth * Guides readers through workshop planning, focusing on targeting youth ranging from teens to younger elementary students * Presents advocacy tools so that organizers can make the case to their institution s managers, administrators, and other stakeholders * Provides reliable and field-tested techniques for time management, locating and training volunteers (teen and adult), and identifying and working with community partners * Includes workshop templates as well as sample participant evaluation checklists Storytimes for the digital age, technology-based workshops are important opportunities for supplementing and complementing education for all youth; this book fosters a different kind of thinking about what literacy in the 21st century really entails.

This list is based on the data reported via Public Library Statistics so includes best practices funded by any source, not just the Ready to Read Grant. To learn more about best practices visit our new website: http://orysbestpractices.wordpress.com/ 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: Summer Reading Log Redesign: Corvallis-Benton County Public Library A library intern, using the Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP) art, redesigned their summer reading activity sheet and reading log to promote reading across genres, experiment with different format, and explore Corvallis by reading in all the city parks. That's a combo of several components of high-quality summer reading programs! Temporary Summer Library Cards: Sweet Home Public Library Linn County has a number of people who do not live in a library service area therefore typically have to pay for library cards. In 2011, Sweet Home issued 284 temporary library cards so children and teens could fully participate in the summer reading program no matter where they live. This is another component of high-quality summer reading programs! Summer Reading Shirts for City Hall: Stayton Public Library Every year the library provides each city hall staff member with a summer reading shirt. City hall staff wear them proudly throughout the summer to show support for and promote the library's summer reading program. Summer Science Program: Wilsonville Public Library In addition to the traditional summer reading program, Wilsonville also provides a summer science program that works much the same way. Kids are provided with an activity booklet describing science activities they can do at home, the library presented several science programs, and kids filled out a log to track their completion of science activities. This is another component of high-quality summer reading programs! Just for Fun: Many of you send in wonderful photos of your Ready to Read projects. This year an unusual number of you sent in pictures of the Reptile Man featuring turtles. As many of you know I have pet turtles so I was delighted! I posted your turtle photos... I mean summer reading photos in my office. Thank you so much! (Note: My office is behind locked doors so kids in photos are not publicly displayed.) Thank you all for the wonderful library youth services you provide your communities!

I have just finished my first year as a member of the Amelia Bloomer Project, a selection list that focuses on the best books with a feminist message for children and teens. We worked hard at ALA's Midwinter meeting to create this year's list of 83 titles, which I have included below. If you'd like to track the ABP throughout the year, you can follow our blog at http://ameliabloomer.wordpress.com. We post all nominations to the blog, as well as stories of interest from our committee members. You can also learn more about the list's criteria, history, and how to submit a field nomination. The ABP is also on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/47238194018/. I'll be working on turning the list into a printable brochure which will be posted to the blog, or email me and I can send you a copy when it's ready. As the introduction to the list says, these books will certainly inform, inspire, and entertain! Amelia Bloomer Project 2012 List Introduction "One of my favorite phobias is that girls, especially those whose tastes aren't routine, often don't get a fair break... It has come down through the generations, an inheritance of age-old customs which produced the corollary that women are bred to timidity." - Amelia Earhart As we come to the end of a year emphasizing the intersection of feminism and social activism in the world around us, the defiance shown by the women featured in books on this list hold particular relevance. From a female Jesus to Victoria Donda, the youngest member of the Argentine Congress, these women and girls reflect the complexities of the female experience and the increased awareness of strong women and girls throughout history and around the world. Courageous choices include those made by women committed to insane asylums for excessive book reading, women using their bodies as art to express their rage, saving lives and standing up to institutional injustice, and trying on new identities under challenging circumstances. Women claim their voices through the confluence of revolutionary politics and artistic expression. Loud and self-possessed, they would not be silenced. Sometimes whimsical yet always substantive fictional characters and real-life heroines inspire us to consider new ideas. Even those bred to timidity refuse to accept limitations. The Amelia Bloomer Project is part of the Feminist Task Force of the American Library Association's Social Responsibility Round Table. The Amelia Bloomer Project committee members are Maureen McCoy (co-chair), Beth Olshewsky (co-chair), Jennie Law, Lalitha Nataraj, Linda Parsons, Kelly Rottmund, Angela Semifero, April Witteveen, and Joy Worland.

Earlier this week, I sent the message below announcing the 2012 Teen Summer Reading Video Challenge. I've had some great questions since then, so I wanted to send you more information. Please let me know if there's anything else you'd like to know. ? CSLP Video Submission Criteria The video will include the teen's interpretation of the 2012 CSLP teen slogan "Own the Night" and promote reading and libraries. The video has a clear message and is delivered in a creative way. The video must be usable to promote summer reading at any public library nationwide: the promotion of a specific library is not acceptable, the video should not state "visit the ABC Public Library" but it is OK for the signage of a public library to appear in the video. The video must be designed for use at any library and be appropriate for viewing by audiences of all ages. All materials used must be created by the teen(s), or be in the public domain. The length of the video must be at least 30 seconds long and no longer than 90 seconds. The video entry form must have the name of a CSLP member library. All entries must include signed Model Release form(s). Once the winning video is determined, the state member will contact the winner and obtain a DVD of the winning video. As the criteria above states, videos should feature teen interpretations of the 2012 teen SRP slogan "Own the Night" and promote reading and libraries in general rather than specific library programs. Videos should definitely focus on teen programs over programs for adults and kids. Here's the link to last year's winners if you want some shining examples: http://www.cslpreads.org/winners.html Warmly, Lisa Lisa Elliott Young Adult Librarian Tigard Public Library lisae at tigard-or.gov 503-718-2654 From: Lisa Elliott Sent: Friday, December 09, 2011 1:26 PM To: oyan at listsmart.osl.state.or.us; kids-lib at listsmart.osl.state.or.us Subject: 2012 Teen Summer Reading Video Challenge [Please excuse any duplication due to cross-posting.] Hello all, It's time to launch the 2012 Teen Summer Reading Video Challenge. If you remember, last year was the first year of the contest and it was the brain child of folks at the Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP). Each participating state runs the contest locally, winners are selected for each state, and are featured on the cslpreads.org website. Oregon teens are encouraged to create and submit 30-90 second PSAs promoting the summer reading program. The deadline for submissions is Saturday, March 3. All submissions will be posted to a YouTube channel which will be open for users to vote for their favorite videos by "Liking" them. The final winner will be selected by a panel of judges from OYAN. I've attached Oregon's entry form which includes contest rules, and I encourage you to check out the contest resources on the CSLP website. I've also included some suggestions below about implementing the contest at your school or library. Please let me know if you have any questions. Note that while submitted videos must be posted online, paper forms need to be signed and submitted to me. Video Contest Programming * Plan a video making workshop using free video editing software like Windows Live Movie Maker. * Invite folks from local cable access or film centers to teach a movie making workshop and/or provide equipment. * Try animation workshops using Machinima or stop motion animation. * While the library is closed, make the space available for movie makers. Provide cardboard, markers and crayons to create set pieces. * Partner with a school or library. Many schools have media labs and may include PSAs as part of their curriculum. * Partner with local youth groups like 4H Tech Wizards. * Consider tying the contest into Teen Tech Week (March 6-12). You could screen submissions at a celebration. * Consider offering prizes for winners and runners up you select locally, but be sure that ALL submissions are sent to me for the state-wide contest. All Oregon public, volunteer, and tribal libraries are members of the Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP), and receive a free summer reading manual.
