Message-ID: <813A01DF90DA7C4489F0AFC875D99646F7C2019357@cesrv011.eugene1.net> Hi, all, At our recent Summer OYAN meeting, we determined the majority of the titles that will appear on this year's Graphic Rave. However, the manga and nonfiction titles received little to no votes during the first round. Since we must have manga and nonfiction on the list, we'll be doing a 2nd round of voting. Please look over this survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/7RBXPND Read all that you can, and vote for your 5 favorite titles by September 1st! Three things to remember: 1. There are certain criteria that must be met with the books on our list. By doing this second vote, we will be adding 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. There will be no "no" vote during this round. Only vote for the books that you really enjoyed reading and think should be on the list. 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 slide info-graphic: http://www.mediabistro.com/galleycat/books-help-kids-beat-the-summer-slide_b71386. Article on summer reading research by Matthew Boulay, founder of the National Summer Learning Association: http://www.oregonask.org/articles/research-summer-learning-loss. Some key points are: * the average American student - with data aggregated across subject area, grade level, student socioeconomic background, gender and racial/ethnic identity- experiences summer learning loss equal to one-tenth of a standard deviation, which equates to about one month's worth of math and reading/language knowledge on a grade level equivalency scale (Cooper et al., 1996) * The strongest and most consistently reported finding in the literature on seasonal comparisons is that inequality in cognitive skills emerges primarily during the summer months and is closely linked to family economic status (Downey et al. 2004; Entwisle and Alexander 1992; Alexander, Entwisle and Olson 2007; Heyns 1978; Cooper et al. 1996; Burkam et al. 2004) * the primary source of cognitive inequality lies in children's disparate home and community environments, not the school environment. * the "summer shortfall over the five years of elementary school accounts for more than half the difference" of the achievement gap between high and low SES at the start of ninth grade (Alexander, Entwisle, and Olson 2007, P.175). * Her study revealed, however, a strong relationship between learning and the amount children read; whether measured by the number of books read or the amount of time spent reading, the amount children read was the single activity that Heyns found consistently influenced achievement independent of socioeconomic class or race.

I just learned about this new online exhibit by the National Book Foundation and thought you all might be interested. It includes picture books, chapter books, and YA: Up All Night: A History of the National Book Award in Young People?s Literature- An Online Exhibition http://www.nationalbook.org/_nba_upallnight_ypl_about.html Remember what it was like to be a kid, so immersed in a great book that you stayed up past your bedtime voraciously turning pages? Or perhaps you?re a young reader now, struggling to find a story that speaks to you and reflects your surroundings and experiences. Whether you want to revisit your favorite childhood reads or discover a title or author that is totally new to you, you?ve come to the right place. The National Book Award in Children?s Literature was first presented to the Dutch-American author Meindert DeJong for Journey from Peppermint Street in 1969. Since then, the category has had many names and included several subcategories, from Nonfiction to Picture Book, and there were a number of years when the National Book Award wasn?t presented in this category at all.* It returned in 1996, however, and has been known ever since as Young People?s Literature?an umbrella that has covered everything from graphic novels to novels-in-verse. To present the 229 titles that have won or been nominated for the National Book Award in this category, we enlisted the help of past National Book Award Winners and Finalists, winners of our Innovations in Reading Prize, students in BookUp, our after-school reading program for middle-schoolers, and others. To view their contributions, which range from interviews and videos to collages and other artworks, click the Contributors link above. This exhibition is for everyone: grandparents, parents, children, teachers, librarians, writers, and, of course, readers. It?s also for all those self-professed non-readers out there. We guarantee there?s something in here even for you. Thanks for visiting, and enjoy the exhibition! *From 1950 through 1963, the National Book Award was presented only in the categories of Fiction, Nonfiction, and Poetry. Additional categories, such as Arts and Letters, were introduced in 1964, but the Award for Children?s Books didn?t appear until 1969. It continued in various forms through 1983, when the Awards were again reduced to only three categories. The Award for children?s literature didn?t appear again until 1996, when its current iteration, Young People?s Literature, was introduced. PRODUCTION CREDITS: ?

Due 11/15 Message-ID: <520BD469.4070304@cclsd.org> Dear Everyone who ever sees a teen in the library or in their community in the summer: Please pardon cross-posting. The time has come to put our outstanding minds together to contribute ideas for the 2015 Teen Summer Library Program Manual. The theme: Heroes. The slogan for teens: "Unmask!" The deadline: November 15. As your OYAN CSLP Liaison, I'll send another reminder as we get closer to November. Library staff around the country and beyond will turn to your ideas as they put together their own summer programs for teens. See below for types of categories and examples from CSLP headquarters. At the Spring CSLP meeting, the 2015 Teen Slogan break-out session featured a great deal of discussion about anti-heroes and the appeal of villains, the idea of having superpowers or a secret identity and what that feels like as a teen, and various definitions of heroes--from the Marvel/DC end of the spectrum, to heroic characters like Katnis Everdeen and Ender Wiggin, to everyday local heroes. "Runner-up" slogan choices will become chapter headings in the manual, including "Power Up...READ!", "Reading Is My Superpower", "Unleash Your Powers", "Novel Avengers", "The Hero Within", and "Begin the Quest". I know we'll make it a great manual. I can't wait to see all the ideas that emerge in the final edition! --Abbie Anderson OYAN CSLP Liaison Assistant Director, North Bend Public Library And now: the official call for ideas: *Unmask!* ** *Call for Ideas* *2015 Teen Summer Library Program* *Theme: Heroes* *Slogan: Unmask!* *Deadline: November 15, 2013* ** Below you'll find some programming ideas suggested at the Spring CSLP meeting including: Heroes-contemporary, romantic, historical, mythological, etc.; Superheroes-what makes one?

Content includes nearly 4,000 books, materials are for PK-12th grade, 70% are nonfiction, some are in Spanish, all can be read independently or listened to, and users can access them from the website or download a free Apple or Android app. There is one universal login that anyone in Oregon can use. For details, see the announcement below and the attachment. Please help spread the word. Permission has been granted to share the login widely within Oregon, and that includes posting the attached information sheet online. I also included two versions of the myON logo for those who choose to post an access point on their library websites. If you advertise library activities via social media, please consider promoting this opportunity there, too. By the end of next week, we'll add an access point on OSLIS that will stay through September 15th. What a great resource for summer reading programs! Questions? Please ask.

To: Oregon Educators Re: Oregon Summer Reading Opportunity: Free Online Books for Summer Reading on myON! There is little that impacts student success as much as strong literacy skills, and we are pleased to invite you, your children, and your community to join our statewide efforts to develop a culture of reading in Oregon. ODE is partnering with organizations including schools, libraries, Boys & Girls Clubs, scout troops, schools, faith-based organizations, United Way and other non-profits statewide to promote reading over the summer months. Join us by including reading within your summer programs this year. Thanks to a new partnership with myON BOOKS, students and their families across the state will have unlimited access to thousands of digital books on myON, giving families an opportunity to share rich, grade-appropriate, literacy experiences together regardless of socioeconomic status, access to a local library, or whether or not there is a proficient reader in the home. Through this summer partnership, Oregon students and families can access: * More than 3,000 digital books from Capstone and additional publishing partners, ranging from illustrated and picture books to chapter books, graphic novels, literary non-fiction, photo and informational texts spanning multiple eras and cultures. * Capstone imprints include Capstone Press, Heinemann-Raintree, Picture Window Books, Compass Point Books and Stone Arch Books. * Digital books from the following publishing partners will also be available: August House Little Folk/ Story Cove, Bellwether, Hothouse, Mikaya Press, Orca, Reference Point, Saddleback and Sylvan-Dell. * The collection includes 70% nonfiction, 10% Spanish or dual language, 20% high interest books for struggling readers, and is continually growing. * A wide range of titles and topics provides varying levels of text complexity and supports close reading in a range of genres and content areas, including history/social studies, science and technical works. * Users can read the books independently or listen to them, and they can choose whether or not to have sentences highlighted while in narration mode. * Through a secure environment, students have unlimited access to the entire digital library, within the parameters set by the Oregon Department of Education. We are encouraging all of our readers to read anything that interests them -including graphic novels, non-fiction books, magazines and newspapers- whether online or in print. We suggest that they: * Read with someone * Read to someone * Share with someone what he/she has read * Listen to someone read * Help others read * Read independently The Oregon summer reading partnership with myON will be available at NO COST until September 15, 2013.

For example, students can read articles from Cobblestone, Faces, and The New York Times or learn about their favorite creatures in Grzimek's Animal Life Encyclopedia.

Nine of the challenged items were retained and two items were removed from libraries. I encourage you to incorporate this information and/or the titles of the challenged materials in your Banned Books Week displays and activities. Many people may not realize that book banning is not a thing from the past or that attempts to ban books are made every year right here in Oregon. This is a valuable educational opportunity to discuss the nature of the First Amendment-just as we have a right to access these materials in our libraries, we have a right to question whether they are appropriate to include in public collections. * Why might someone find these materials inappropriate? * Why should they remain in the collection? * Is labeling a book an effective way to inform people about content that may not be appropriate for everyone or is it a form of censorship? * What would you do if someone came up to you in your library and asked you to remove a book from the collection? * Why is a collection development policy the most important line of defense when library materials are challenged? * Does your library have a policy or established procedure for patrons to challenge material? You can find resources that may help you answer these questions at: http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/Pages/intellectual.aspx#Banned_Books_Week_Planning_Resources About the OIFC Annual Report Every year the Oregon Intellectual Freedom Clearinghouse (OIFC) publishes a report on challenges to all types of library materials in Oregon. This report provides a landscape of censorship activity in Oregon, and is submitted to ALA's Office of Intellectual Freedom to be included in their report on censorship activity in the United States. The Annual Report is also used by librarians and teachers to help them develop activities for Banned Books Week. The Annual Report is based on challenge reports OIFC receives from all types of Oregon libraries (school, academic, and public). All local libraries are encouraged to report challenges to materials on a voluntary basis. OIFC does not publish names of people, organizations, libraries, and towns identified in challenge reports confidential. I will be compiling the 2014 Annual Report in July 2014. Please submit a separate challenge report for each formal challenge to library materials that occur at your library between July 1, 2013 and June 30, 2014. Reports may be submitted as they are resolved or all together in June 2014. This information is complied to assist Oregon libraries currently facing a challenge as well as providing information that will help you plan Banned Books Week activities. The Annual Report will tell you what books were challenged in Oregon libraries the previous year. The more libraries reporting challenges to OIFC the better OIFC can help you! Please take time to report challenges to OIFC. The accuracy of OIFC's Annual Report and Title Index to Challenges is directly related to the number of Oregon libraries reporting challenges. To report challenges to materials at your library: 1. Download and print the form at http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/youthsvcs/OIFC/oifc.report.challenge.word.pdf 2. Fill out a challenge report form for each item that went through your library's formal process for dealing with challenges to library material. 3. Mail your completed form(s) to: Oregon State Library c/o Oregon Intellectual Freedom Clearinghouse 250 Winter St. NE Salem, OR 97301 For more information about OIFC visit our website (http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/Pages/intellectual.aspx) or contact the coordinator of OIFC, Katie Anderson, 503-378-2528. PS: Attention School Librarians! Submit reports to OIFC on challenges after they have gone through your school's formal challenge to materials process and a decision to retain, relocate, or remove the title has been officially made. Submit reports on informal challenges to OASL's Intellectual Freedom Committee Chair, currently Leigh Ann Morlock (intellectualfreedom at oasl.olaweb.org).

Transforming Young Adult Services. Chicago, IL: Neal-Schuman. In this vigorous call to action that encourages LIS students, researchers, and practitioners to question some of the underlying assumptions of their discipline, Bernier initiates an open discussion about how YA professionals perceive young adults. Exploring the question of what an LIS-specific vision of young adults should be, this book offers a wide array of provocative positions with implications for libraries in literacy initiatives, YA space, intergenerational interactions, and civic life. Research-based articles and essays from leading scholars and practitioners examine young adults in historical and conceptual contexts, such as the ways in which social theory is rapidly changing the essence of YA librarianship. The variety of perspectives and analyses offered will launch a vigorous new debate on how libraries and those in the field think of and serve young adults.

Our teens want to do an Halloween themed after hours party at the library that will involve a raucous game of Graveyard Tag, etc. I'm wondering what we need to do about liability issues, permission forms, number of adults at the event, etc. Does anyone have advice or experience with after hours programs like this?

I've attached the permission form we use. The first year we had 120 teens and only 5 adults (yikes!) so this year we had 10 adults at the ready but only had 65 teens show-- so we sent a couple adults home. I'd say having one adult for every ten - dozen or so teens would feel good to us. In order to get out of the library after a long, late night we try to get all the teens into one part of the library for the last half hour or so of the program so some of the adults can begin cleaning up (and some nice teens generally pitch in). Feel free to email me back off-list if you'd like more info. Have fun, this sounds like a blast!

Message-ID: <813A01DF90DA7C4489F0AFC875D99646FCA774E2AA@cesrv011.eugene1.net> A final reminder! Please vote for your 5 favorite titles by September 1st! Hi, all, At our recent Summer OYAN meeting, we determined the majority of the titles that will appear on this year's Graphic Rave. However, the manga and nonfiction titles received little to no votes during the first round. Since we must have manga and nonfiction on the list, we'll be doing a 2nd round of voting. Please look over this survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/7RBXPND Read all that you can, and vote for your 5 favorite titles by September 1st! Three things to remember: 1. There are certain criteria that must be met with the books on our list. By doing this second vote, we will be adding 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. There will be no "no" vote during this round. Only vote for the books that you really enjoyed reading and think should be on the list. 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!
