From katie.anderson at state.or.us Tue Jul 1 12:10:32 2014 From: katie.anderson at state.or.us (Katie Anderson) Date: Tue, 1 Jul 2014 19:10:32 +0000 Subject: [OYAN] Summer reading update (how to order more certificates and sweepstakes materials) Message-ID: <640435851FD7CB4AB3C4BE0D1963BA24457ECD84@OSLEXCHANGE.osl.state.or.us.local> As of June 27th the Oregon College Savings Plan has received 1,840 Fuzz Boom Save! entries-over 200 more than they had received at this time last year. In mid June, the Oregon College Savings Plan staff traveled to six libraries in eastern Oregon (Hermiston, Pendleton, Enterprise, La Grande, Baker City and Grant County) as part of their sponsorship of summer reading performers and the Ready to Learn program. They traveled with Jason Ropp, of Dragon Theater Puppets, who performed for families at each location. They truly enjoyed meeting staff at the libraries as well as the Ready to Learn team, and gained a genuine understanding of how hard everyone works to make summer reading and Ready to Learn a success. In an effort to promote summer reading at public libraries and saving for college beyond the 15 sweepstakes winners, the Oregon College Savings Plan also sponsors a KATU media partnership and a summer reading performer at legally established public libraries serving fewer than 10,000. * Watch the second AM Northwest spot and meet one of the performers. * View the KATU Fizz Boom Save webpage. * View the Oregon College Savings Plan's Fizz Boom Save webpage. Need more Oregon Summer Reading Certificates? * Order hardcopies while supplies last by emailing ferol.weyand at state.or.us. * Download and print certificates from the State Library's summer reading page.

Find a summer food site. Good Afternoon SFSP Contacts: Now that we are all in the midst of Summer Food Service Program implementation, we want to make sure to keep up the great momentum that has been created through all your promotion efforts. Food and Nutrition Service is planning a "Thunderclap". What is that, you ask? It is a barrage of messages on one topic released at the same time through social media. On July 29th, a message about summer meals will be sent out over Twitter, Facebook and Tumblr. It is very easy to sign up and have the messages automatically sent out from your accounts on July 29th. Just follow the link below and click on each icon (Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr), personalize your message, and voila, you are part of the Thunderclap. Please consider participating and sharing this message with partners. Sincerely, Libby Albert SFSP/CACFP Team Lead Children need healthy food all year long. During the school year, many children receive free and reduced-price breakfast and lunch through their school meals programs. But when school lets out many of these children are at risk of hunger, which can hinder the learning process. [cid:image009.jpg at 01CF9AB7.D353C950] USDA's Summer Food Service Program ensures children 18 years of age and below, living in income-eligible communities, receive nutritious meals even when school is out. To reinforce this value, FNS has just launched a summer meals support effort on social media to raise awareness about summer meals sites and how these nutritious meals benefit our nation's children. Through a platform known as Thunderclap, this important message can be heard when you and your friends say it together. By simply clicking a button of support here, a user agrees to share a message with their friends through their Twitter, Facebook and/or Tumblr accounts. That same message will be blasted by those that have agreed to support summer meals during the exact same established time, in this case July 29. Please consider using your social media influence to spread the word about this vital resource for families in need. In doing so, more folks will know how to help kids and teens find a free, nutritious summer meal site this summer!

As many of you know, I'm working on developing an evaluation toolkit for the Ready to Read/Reading for Success Grant program. I just drafted three sample summer reading surveys. I know it's a bit late in summer reading to add something new or make a change to your summer reading program, but if you are interested in trying out these sample surveys this summer and letting me know how they work for you and your SRP participants... that would be very helpful! If you aren't interested nor able to do it, I completely understand-feel free to delete this email now. The attached surveys are designed to be distributed to children, teens, and/or the adult accompanying the child or teen when they turn in their completed reading log. They should be self-explanatory, but if not... please let me know so I can fix that.

Message-ID: http://www.edutopia.org/blog/preventing-summer-slide-internet-research-cathy-knutson I just read this Edutopia article by Cathy Knutson, an elementary school librarian, in which she recommends simple Internet research as a way to prevent the summer slide in students. Much of what the author points out applies to younger teens, too. Here are some highlights: * The word "research" sounds so intimidating because many parents remember their own tortured experiences with research papers when they were in school. But in this digital age, most of us research everyday without even realizing it. * We should apply the following evaluation of our search results: * Does this website answer my specific question? * How do a variety of websites answer the same question? (We are comparing and contrasting without the Venn diagram!) * Are all web resources equal and accurate, and if not, how can I tell? * The ability for children to ask and answer their own questions is one of the most fundamental learning objectives for life. This informal research, with children seeking to answer their own questions, is engaging, motivating and empowering. A cyclic pattern of research is established -- curiosity leading to research and back again to curiosity and follow-up questions. Knutson then suggests some ways for parents to engage students in summer research and offers safety and search tips. I could see this as a summer reading activity promoted and modeled by public library staff.

Keep voting! Here are the instructions, in case you need them/missed it/forgot/etc. Thanks! Traci ________________________________ Hi, all, Survey Monkey is ready to start taking your votes for the Graphic Rave 2014: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/LWPY23P Please refer to the attached spreadsheet for more information about each nominated title. There is a choice for a "no" vote. If you feel strongly that a nominated book does not deserve to be a part of the Graphic Rave, please vote no. 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. I'll subtract no votes from the yes votes to get a total. If you like a title, vote yes! Survey Monkey uses IP addresses to remember votes; you'll be able to add votes as you keep reading nominated titles, as well as see how you've already voted (assuming you always vote from the same computer). You can vote until July 21st (since I'm a little late getting this out). Be prepared to discuss and debate the results at the Summer Membership meeting on July 25th. Thanks for voting!

As many of you know, I'm working on developing an evaluation toolkit for the Ready to Read/Reading for Success Grant program. I just drafted a couple sample surveys for school age projects (K-12)-book related school age projects and non-book related projects (e.g. Lego Club). These sample surveys will likely require you to do a little more personalization because non-book related school age projects vary widely. Attached is the 'SurveyTips' document I drafted to help you edit and adapt sample surveys or create your own surveys from scratch. Some of the tips are specific to the Ready to Read/Reading for Success Grant so may not apply or be helpful at this time. If you are interested in trying out these sample surveys and letting me know how they work for you and your program participants... that would be very helpful! If you aren't interested, I completely understand-feel free to delete this email now. The attached sample surveys should be self-explanatory, but if not... please let me know so I can fix that.

[Institute of Education Sciences - Newsflash] The Federal Interagency Forum on Child and Family Statistics Releases "America?s Young Adults: Special Issue, 2014" The Federal Interagency Forum on Child and Family Statistics has released America?s Young Adults: Special Issue, 2014. The indicators presented in this report provide a rich snapshot of the health, education, and well-being of America?s young adults. Report findings include: ? In 2013, 84 percent of young adult women and 81 percent of young adult men had completed at least a high school education. These percentages were up from 79 and 75 percent, respectively, in 1980. ? The overall college enrollment rate for 18- to 24-year-olds increased from 26 percent in 1980 to 41 percent in 2012. Among Hispanics in this age group, college enrollment during this time increased from 22 to 37 percent, the largest increase among all racial and ethnic groups. ? In 2011?12, about 68 percent of young adult undergraduates in their fourth year of college or above had received federal loans, non-federal loans, or Parent Loans for Undergraduates (PLUS, received by parents), compared with 50 percent in 1989?90. ? The mean cumulative debt per fourth-year student in 2011?12 was $25,400, up from $14,700 in 1989?90, after adjusting for inflation. ? A higher percentage of young adults ages 20?24 was neither enrolled in school nor working in 2013 (19 percent) than in 1990 (17 percent). This percentage also increased for young adults at various levels of educational attainment. ? The labor force participation rate for young adults was 65 percent in 2012, compared with the peak rate of 75 percent in 1986 and 74 percent in 2000. ? Fifty-eight percent of young men and 51 percent of young women lived with their parents in 2013.

Below is a great article from ALA?s Association for Library Services to Children about low-maintenance science activity tables for libraries. Summer is almost half over and everything may be going great so you?re looking for easy science programs to do throughout the year or things may not be working out like you planned so you?re looking for ways to improve your program quick. Here is an idea with a link to resources. Don?t forget your CSLP summer reading manual also has lots of ideas you can use all year round, which you can check out from the State Library if it got lost in the chaos: http://osl-lis.blogspot.com/2010/12/past-cslp-summer-reading-manuals-books.html Pinterest can be a great resources too: ?

Find a summer food site. ________________________________ The Science Explorer Table Posted: 08 Jul 2014 09:01 PM PDT A couple of years ago, we introduced a make-and-take craft table in our Children?s Room. The table sits right by our Reference Desk so that it?s easy for staff to keep an eye on it and refill supplies as needed. We found, however, that our craft table did not work so well during the summer months. To accommodate the increased traffic at our Reference Desk, we moved the table a few feet away and we found we were refilling supplies constantly, which was a big pain. So this year, we debuted our Science Explorers Table. Instead of a craft, we?ve put out various science-related activities for children to explore while they visit the Children?s Room. It?s been a hit! The table is very frequently used and provides a learning experience as well as entertainment for kids. [Science Explorer Table at the NAFC Library. Photo by Abby Johnson.] Science Explorer Table at the NAFC Library. Photo by Abby Johnson. The table is self-directed, and signage lets parents know that materials stay on the table for the next child to use. We may include some questions or guidance as to how to use the materials, but kids also have fun picking things up and exploring on their own. We switch out the activities every couple of weeks to keep things fresh. The table also provides some space to set out leftover program handouts (all relevant since we?re doing so much science programming this summer!). We purchased several of the Can Do! science sets from Lakeshore Learning, which are super easy since they come with everything you need. We?ve also used some of our own activity ideas like these magnet wands with pipe cleaner hair (SO simple and popular!) and the mystery boxes my colleage Miss T made. I?ve been asked by colleagues about keeping statistics and to be honest that?s a part that I hadn?t thought of and we didn?t figure out for this summer. Some possibilities for keeping stats on an activity like this might be: ? selecting a week or a few typical days during the summer to keep a tally and extrapolating statistic ? including some kind of take-home element or something kids can contribute to and then counting up how many were taken or how contributions were made (adding notes or pictures to a notebook, etc.) ? Angie Manfredi at the Los Alamos County Library System posts challenge questions and asks kids to come to the Reference Desk to answer the questions and earn a small prize (I think they use candy, but it could be a sticker or a hand stamp) I?ve blogged about the Science Explorers Table on my personal blog; see Fizz, Boom, Read: Self-Directed Science Activities for more ideas! Are you doing any self-directed science in your library this summer? Please share what you?re doing in the comments! We may decide to keep the Science Explorer Table year-round (in lieu of take-home crafts), so I need all the ideas I can get! ?

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <640435851FD7CB4AB3C4BE0D1963BA244584057A@OSLEXCHANGE.osl.state.or.us.local> Hi Drucilla, An overnight party at the library is a great reward! Other libraries who have done this? Yes, lots! Contact K'Lyn and Jessica directly, their libraries have been doing library lock-ins for many of years so they have lots of knowledge and experience to draw from to answer your questions. * K'Lyn Hann, Newberg Public Library, klyn.hann at newbergoregon.gov * Jessica Marie, Salem Public Library, Jmarie at cityofsalem.net * Ask all the other teen librarians in Oregon by emailing oyan at listsmart.osl.state.or.us (If you aren't subscribed to OLA's Young Adult Network listserv, you can here: http://listsmart.osl.state.or.us/mailman/listinfo/oyan) Legalities? Yes, there are legalities. Ask K'Lyn and Jessica what the legal issues are for them and how they address them. Then contact your library's legal council to get legal advice specific to your library and community. Forms? You will need forms for patrons to register to participate and to fulfill legal requirement. Ask K'Lyn and Jessica to email you copies of their forms. Ideas, thoughts? Here are some things to think about: * Teens should be involved in planning the activities and you should ask and consider teen input when making some other decisions-such as food, smart phone use etc. * What do you need to know about keeping the facilities open after hours? For example, Multnomah County Library's temperature control and some other electronic things are managed centrally off-site so at this time none of their branches can have after-hour events of any kind because reprogramming centralized electronics would be too labor intensive-i.e. expensive. * What areas of the library will the teens have access to during the lock-in and how will access to off-limits areas in the library be restricted, monitored, and/or enforced? * What ratio of adult chaperones to teens is necessary, who will the adult chaperones be and what will they be expected to do? * What will the rules be and how will they be enforced? * How will emergencies be dealt with? * What concerns will the parents of teens have and how can those concerns be address preemptively? * Food and beverages? What will it be, when will it be eaten, how will it be made available? * Sleeping? Where will people sleep, will there be a required lights out for everyone or will there be a separate sleeping/activity areas so teens have a choice of sleeping or staying up all night? * Activities? Whole group activities, activity centers teens can choose from, and/or time when there are no activities for kids to just talk, hangout, read, etc. * If the lock-in is really popular, how will you determine who can/can't participate? * Smart phones? Do you want to have rules for teens about cell phone use during the event? Do you want to leverage social media and encourage teens to use smart phones to post about the fun they are having at the library? More resources? * Teen Librarian Toolbox for the teen librarians short on time, short on money, but not short on passion has several blog posts about hosting teen lock-ins http://www.teenlibrariantoolbox.com/2013/01/a-day-in-life-of-library-lock-in.html * Library Lock-in, an article from the Vermont State Library: http://libraries.vermont.gov/sites/libraries/files/srp/lockininfoSM.pdf * Library Garden, a blog by New Jersey librarians: http://librarygarden.net/2009/11/10/teenlockin/ Hopefully this is helpful!

Do you have ideas, thoughts, forms, legalities, other libraries who have done this etc? I have not asked Christy yet and it may be a no but I would appreciate any information you have on this or people who have done it. Thanks and I hope things are going wonderfully for you.

Message-ID: Please pardon the cross-posting. This is an FYI and not an endorsement of the reviews. The books reviewed seem to be for variety of age ranges. The reviewer describes himself this way: ??a professional writer and cartoonist who spent way too many years working in the comic book biz, then became a librarian. Now I spend a great deal of time figuring out how to synergize those disparate parts of my brain.?

Greetings, Oregon librarians! For the past several months I've been writing spoiler-free graphic novel reviews at WWW.COMICBOOKLIBRARIAN.COM, and I'd like to invite you to avail yourselves of the material collected there! In addition to reviews, I've also got free downloadable training resources for librarians, as well as links to the educational comic books (yes, comic books!)
