Here is the campaign's official site: http://weneeddiversebooks.tumblr.com/keyposts What can you do at your library? * Does readers' advisory for diverse books focus on the diverse aspect of the book or its universal appeal? This cheat-sheet created by author Grace Lin might help: http://www.gracelin.com/media/press/diversitycheatsheet.pdf * Is the collection diverse? o Check out books on developing diverse collections from the State Library: http://osl-lis.blogspot.com/search/label/cultural-competency. o Visit the 'Where to find books in other languages' webpage http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/Pages/youthsvcs/rfhf.book.other.langs.aspx * Does each display in the library include diverse books/audiobooks? Establish a process that works for your library to make sure they always do. * Does book-based library programming include diverse books? Establish a process that works for your library to make sure diverse books don't get left out of programming. o If you have great book talks for diverse books, please share them via this listserv! o What are your favorite diverse storytime books? o What are your favorite diverse book club titles? Here is an article by Walter Dean Myers that describes the issue from his personal experience as a black man. We Need Diverse Books is about all types of diversity, not just black authors, characters, and themes so this article just address part of the issue: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/16/opinion/sunday/where-are-the-people-of-color-in-childrens-books.html?_r=0 * Of 3,200 children's books published in 2013, just 93 were about black people, according to a study by the Cooperative Children's Book Center at the University of Wisconsin. * In the dark times... I needed more than the characters in the Bible to identify with, or even the characters in Arthur Miller's plays or my beloved Balzac. As I discovered who I was, a black teenager in a white-dominated world, I saw that these characters, these lives, were not mine. I didn't want to become the "black" representative, or some shining example of diversity. What I wanted, needed really, was to become an integral and valued part of the mosaic that I saw around me. * Books did not become my enemies. They were more like friends with whom I no longer felt comfortable. I stopped reading. I stopped going to school. * Then I read a story by James Baldwin: "Sonny's Blues." I didn't love the story, but I was lifted by it, for it took place in Harlem, and it was a story concerned with black people like those I knew. By humanizing the people who were like me, Baldwin's story also humanized me.

I just learned about the following new national CSLP summer reading partner. I know the timing is bad, but don?t panic! This is optional?like most, if not all national CSLP summer reading partnerships. If you are interested in using CWIST this summer, be sure to use library policy to review this resources to make sure it?s a good fit for your community. CSLP is excited to announce the new partnership with CWIST, a parent-drive motivational system where kids embark on adventures with the goal of earning a wish once they?ve completed a fun, educational project. CWIST Services for CSLP Members ? cwist will create a short introduction video for libraries that describes the value of cwist to their library. o The video will describe how cwist works for families of K-5 readers. o It will briefly describe how a parent can easily sign in and assign reading challenges that will add fun and educational extensions to the reading the child does over the summer ? for each library-system that provides cwist with their summer reading lists, cwist will create challenges (or update last years) for each grouping of books they support. In some cases lists are grouped by grade or multiple grades, and in others there is one large list; cwist will reflect that library?s grouping. o The challenge will be CSLP branded inside the challenge itself o The challenge will have links to the unique list for the library system o The challenge main image will be the logo of the supported library ? Parents will be able to sign up their families for free ? Families will have access to a list of retail and free incentives to use as goals for completing the challenges.

Mind-Bending Mysteries and Thrillers for Teens: A Programming and Readers' Advisory Guide. Chicago, IL: ALA Editions. 978-0-8389-1204-1. There are plenty of mysteries in teens' lives, including physical and emotional changes, uncertainty about the future, and feelings between people. Seen in this light, the appeal of these stories for this age group makes perfect sense: through a progression of plot and clues, the ending of a teen mystery book provides expected conclusions after an entertaining escape from reality. Well known from her bestselling teen programming books, Alessio offers a complete guide to getting young adults hooked on mysteries. Included are * Book lists featuring every type of mystery subgenre, from cozies and romantic mysteries to suspense thrillers, police procedurals, and beyond, all thoroughly annotated * Titles published within the last five years, accented by a handpicked assortment of classics * Recommendations of some adult mysteries that older teens may enjoy * Profiles of today's teen mystery fans, drawn from first-hand experience * Interviews with several popular mystery authors to sketch in the genre's background and trends * Step-by-step instructions for more than 40 programming ideas, from creating a "Mind Bending Club" to puzzles and a complete mystery dinner script * Tips for displays, booktalks, and marketing * Multiple indexes to help find the right book quickly This one-of-a-kind resource will help YA librarians connect teens to mysteries they're sure to love.

Streamlined Library Programming: How to Improve Services and Cut Costs. Santa Barbara, CA: Libraries Unlimited. 978-1-61089-408-7. Is it possible to both cut costs and improve public library programming for all ages? Yes, it is; this book demonstrates how. In their roles as community centers, public libraries offer many innovative and appealing programs; but under current budget cuts, library resources are stretched thin. With slashed budgets and limited staff hours, what can libraries do to best serve their publics? This how-to guide provides strategies for streamlining library programming in public libraries while simultaneously maintaining-or even improving-quality delivery. The wide variety of principles and techniques described can be applied on a selective basis to libraries of all sizes. Based upon the author's own extensive experience as well as that of colleagues in other library systems, this book provides readers with a practical, step-by-step approach to maximizing resources and minimizing costs of programming without sacrificing quality, as well as insider tips and examples from the field that will help them to avoid known pitfalls. Features * Discusses centralized programming, explaining what it is, how it works, and how librarians can select and apply techniques to their libraries * Provides effective solutions to streamlining library services and improving efficiencies in a time of budget reductions * Offers useful sample documents and forms, such as program description templates, surveys, and storytime box logistics Sample Topics Centralized Programs Change Management Paid Programs Partner Programs Pitfalls to Avoid Programs in a Box Staffing Storytime Be sure to check out our Library and Information Science (LIS) blog to discover the most recent additions to our LIS collection and search our catalog for our complete holdings.

Read the full post here: http://www.alsc.ala.org/blog/2014/06/gender/ How can libraries better serve transgender youth? 1. Make books available for trans youths and their parents who may or may not be struggling with a child?s transition. There have been a couple of books for younger readers and their parents. In 2009, a Seattle mother, Cheryl Kilodavis, wrote a picture book called My Princess Boy: A Mom?s Story About a Young Boy Who Loves to Dress Up. Last fall a Southern California mother, Lori Duron, wrote Raising My Rainbow: Adventures in Raising a Slightly Effeminate, Possibly Gay, Totally Fabulous Son based on her blog of the same name. (Fran Fried) 2. Treat the trans books the same way you would any other books?place them in the stacks as you would any nontrans literature and let people find them? A little subtlety goes a lot further than neon arrows. (Fran Fried) 3. One simple thing we can do is to add a space on library card applications for ?preferred name.? Not enough room on the form for this extra line? Omit the gender question.

First Lady Michelle Obama to Celebrate National Summer Learning Day on June 20th The National Summer Learning Association (NSLA) is excited to announce that First Lady Michelle Obama, as part of her Reach Higher initiative, will join NSLA to tour student demonstrations and deliver remarks at the National Summer Learning Day Fair at the U.S. Department of Education in Washington, DC. The National Summer Learning Day Fair, co-hosted by the U.S Department of Education and NSLA, marks National Summer Learning Day on June 20th by bringing together high school students and education leaders from across the country to highlight the critical role summer learning plays in preparing young people for successful college entry and completion. On the same day, hundreds of cities and programs across the country will host local events to build awareness around the need for and benefits of high-quality summer learning programs. The First Lady's Reach Higher initiative focuses on the importance of pursuing and completing some form of higher education, and encourages students to do their part to answer the President's call to ensure that by the year 2020, America once again has the highest proportion of college graduates in the world. Follow NSLA on Twitter to keep updated on this exciting event! To learn more about National Summer Learning Day, visit www.summerlearning.org/SLD. ****************** Beth Unverzagt, OregonASK Director, will be attending the event and when she returns to Oregon - Senator Wyden will be joining her and other out-of-school-time key stakeholders for a discussion on summmer learning at several of Oregon?s summer sites the first week of July. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Voting! Message-ID: <813A01DF90DA7C4489F0AFC875D99646FFD446C983@cesrv011.eugene1.net> 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!

For example, If you liked Mia Hamm: Winnders Never Quit, then read Soccer Star by Mina Javaherbin next because "both picture books for young readers involve sporty characters who face setbacks, but ultimately learn how to shoot for a worthy goal." If you like Eleanor & Park, then read Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Saenz next because "both of these YA novels feature love stories between seeming opposites."

The site also offers quizzes and ways for teachers to track students' participation and progress. This is a free resource, but users must register to read articles. Note that you can preview up to four articles without registering. http://www.newsela.com Newsela is sponsoring a Summer Reading Challenge from June 16th - August 18th. From Joyce Valenza's SLJ blog posting, "Students earn points and quirky, colorful badges for completing a range of mini-challenges based on article assignments." Many of the instructions and guidelines for the challenge are geared towards teachers, but this would be a great activity to promote in public libraries. Common Core emphasizes reading informational text, and news articles are good sources of that and help develop youth's interest in current events. https://newsela.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/370171-everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-summer-readi blogs.slj.com/neverendingsearch/2014/06/26/newsela-free-summer-reading-challenge Note that for students to sign up, they need a code that they get from a parent who has registered. If students don't know their Lexile reading level, one can get a very rough estimate from this grade equivalent chart, and that can be used as a starting point. That being said, it should be noted that MetaMetrics, the company behind Lexiles, does not like to compare Lexile ratings to grade equivalents. The page with the chart explains more about that. https://www.lexile.com/about-lexile/grade-equivalent/grade-equivalent-chart/ At a minimum, Newsela might be worth sharing with teachers as you work with them throughout the school year.
