Only one survey per library/library system should be submitted. If you are responsible for the children's, teen, and/or adult summer reading at your library, please ask your director what statistics they need from you and who at your library will be assigned to complete the online summer reading statistics survey. The deadline for completing the summer reading statistics and ordering survey is Tuesday, September 30th. The survey sent to your director and Ready to Read Grant key contact does not include an opportunity to provide feedback. You will have an opportunity to provide feedback on all things summer reading via the SRP feedback survey conducted and sent by K'Lyn Hann, the Oregon Young Adult Network's (OYAN) CSLP Liaison. The SRP feedback survey will go out to all Oregon library staff via the kids-lib, OYAN, and libs-or email discussion lists. This allows you and your colleagues to share your professional opinions individually. Be on the lookout for that survey from K'Lyn.

We now have access to National Geographic Kids (NGK) on OSLIS. What is National Geographic Kids? National Geographic Kids is a Gale database aimed at K-8 students. It includes access to National Geographic Kids magazine from 2009 to the present (3 month embargo), 200 National Geographic Kids books, and 500 kid-friendly and downloadable images. As the Gale NGK webpage points out, the database is full of authoritative nonfiction content, aka informational text, that supports Common Core and other standards. National Geographic Kids Webpage: http://www.cengagesites.com/Literature/776/national-geographic-for-research-libraries/ng-kids/ How Do I Access NGK? All statewide databases - the Gale suite plus LearningExpress Library - are available to the Oregon K-12 community via the Find Information pages on OSLIS. NGK is featured on both the elementary and secondary skins (versions). Remember that we have access to more Gale databases than we can feature. To see the full list of Gale databases, or common menu, click on PowerSearch on any OSLIS Find Information page. When prompted for a login, use the same credentials you use to access other Gale databases. If you do not know your district's or private school's Gale login, please ask me for it. Elementary Students: http://elementary.oslis.org/find-information Elementary Educators: http://elementary.educator.oslis.org/find-information Secondary Students: http://secondary.oslis.org/find-information Secondary Educators: http://secondary.educator.oslis.org/find-information How Can I Learn To Use NGK? You have a couple of options for getting familiar with National Geographic Kids. There are two short tutorials, one called Basics and the other Searching. Also, there will be two National Geographic Kids webinars just for Oregon school library staff and educators. As time permits, the trainer will also explain how to use the new Kids InfoBits interface. The first webinar is on Friday, September 5th at 8:30 am Pacific, and the other is on September 29th at 3:30 pm Pacific. One session will be recorded and available for later viewing. I will post more details about the Oregon webinars later. Please promote the learning opportunities with pertinent teachers in your building or district. Tutorials: http://solutions.cengage.com/gale-training/on-demand-tutorials/#N Why Do We Now Have Access to NGK? On behalf of the Statewide Database Licensing Program and after an RFP and evaluation process with the Statewide Database Licensing Advisory Council, the State Library just renewed the Gale contract. As part of the renewal and at no extra cost, we now have access to National Geographic Kids, Business Insights: Essentials was upgraded to Business Insights: Global, and over 250 ebooks were added to Gale Virtual Reference Library. You may have read the article about the new Gale content in the August issue of Letter to Libraries Online (LTLO), the State Library's newsletter. This announcement is available on the OSLIST archive at http://oslis.org/oslissupport/announcements/2014/august-13-2014. If you have questions, please ask. Thanks, Jen P.S.

Tiel Aisha Ansari of Portland, OR and Steve Jones of Corvallis, OR are the 2015 student contest co-chairs. All Oregon students, kindergarten through 12th grade, enrolled in public, private, parochial and alternative schools, and home schooled, are invited to submit a poem. There is no entry fee. The deadline for entries is February 10, 2015 (postmark). Ten unranked winners in each of four age categories receive $10 cash prizes. All forty winning poems will be published in Cascadia: The Oregon Student Poetry Contest Anthology. Each winner will receive a certificate and a copy of the anthology. The ten winning poems in both the middle and high school divisions are eligible and will be sent to the annual Manningham Trust Student Contest sponsored by the National Federation of State Poetry Societies (NSFPS). This national competition also awards cash prizes and publication in an anthology. Oregon students who have won awards in the national contest include South Medford alumnus Kylan Rice, whose poetry can be sampled online at http://dailydoseoflit.com/2012/08/21/poem-kylan-rice/ and http://www.softblow.org/kylanrice.html among others. Winning poems have also been featured in Chalkboard, the newsletter of the Oregon Council of Teachers of English; read them at http://www.octe.org/uploads/1/7/8/6/17860185/chalkboard.2014.spring.pdf Writing poetry to enter in the contest is typically a class project organized by teachers in the various types of schools. OPA urges parents and teachers to encourage students to enter the contest. This is an excellent opportunity both to encourage and to reward creativity in Oregon students. A note for teachers, from Steve Jones, Co-Director, Oregon Writing Project Collaborative at George Fox and Co-Chair, Oregon Young Poets 2015 Contest: COMMON CORE SUPPORTS POETRY READING AND WRITING Jim Burke in his recently published "Common Core Handbook" maintains that teaching writing well will always demand that teachers and students read widely in all genres, write daily with peer and teacher feedback with opportunities for student revision--while using mentor texts from all genres, including poetry, short stories and essays. Burke teaches us how Common Core supports this wide reading and writing in all literary genres. National Writing Project research also tells us that when writers strengthen their writing in any genre, they strengthen their overall skills as writers. Writers are people who write and write and write. So, teachers, encourage your students to write in all literary genres, confident that they will benefit and become stronger and more effective writers. Complete guidelines can be found at http://oregonpoets.org/contests/student-contest/ or obtained by sending a stamped, self-addressed envelope to: OREGON POETRY ASSOCIATION 1724 NE Prescott Portland OR 97211 or requested by email, Tiel Aisha Ansari, tielansari at gmail.com OPA is a not-for-profit association whose mission is to: ? build and sustain a diverse community of Oregon poets ? provide Oregon poets opportunities to exchange ideas and learn from one another ? further the appreciation of poetry throughout the state ? raise awareness of Oregon poets. The Oregon Student Poetry Contest serves to nurture poetic talent among young Oregonians by providing an opportunity for their poems to be widely shared and celebrated.

[LALimage2014.png] Letters About Literature is a national reading and writing contest sponsored by the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress (LOC) and by Oregon's equivalent at the State Library. Students write letters to any author explaining how that author's book changed their way of thinking about the world or themselves. Please help promote this program, including among homeschoolers. The LOC asks teachers and parents to allow students to choose a book that is meaningful to them and asks students to explain *why* or *how* the book was significant to them instead of summarizing the plot. The focus of a participant's letter is to make clear the connection one has with a book. Here's what Lynette Gottlieb, a teacher in Corvallis, had to say about the contest: Letters about Literature was a completely positive experience for my students...importantly, some of my students who do not identify as writers, and do not generally enjoy the experience, were able to write about something meaningful to them and participate in an inclusive contest that also recognized them...the process connects them to the human experience of literature. It supports my English classroom where I give students choice about reading whenever possible and teach that literature and writing are first and foremost about communication. There are three competition levels: Level I for 4th-6th graders, Level II for 7th-8th graders, and Level III for 9th-12th graders. Oregon's three winners - one from each competition level - will go on to compete nationally. Entry forms and guidelines are available online. All Level III entries must be postmarked by December 15, 2014 and Level I and Level II entries by January 15, 2015. Last year, about 1,040 students in Oregon entered the contest, and 1 in 8 received cash prizes or bookstore gift certificates. These prizes are made possible through support from the national Center for the Book, Oregon Reading Association, and three divisions of the Oregon Library Association: Oregon Association of School Libraries, Children's Services Division, and Oregon Young Adult Network. Thanks for passing along the information to teachers and encouraging them to participate. Please note that this is likely the last year that the State Library will coordinate the program because of changes within the agency. State Library staff members are working to find a new home for Letters About Literature. However, if no organization takes it on, this could be the program's last year in Oregon. Questions? Please ask.

Here are some of the findings we highlight: Millennials' lives are full of technology, but they are more likely than their elders to say that important information is not available on the internet. Some 98% of those under 30 use the internet, and 90% of those internet users say they using social networking sites. Millennials are quite similar to their elders when it comes to the amount of book reading they do, but young adults are more likely to have read a book in the past 12 months. Overall, 88% of Americans under 30 read a book in the past year, compared with 79% of those ages 30 and older. Young adults have caught up to those in their thirties and forties in e-reading, with 37% of adults ages 18-29 reporting they have read an e-book in the past year. As a group, Millennials are as likely as older adults to have used a library in the past 12 months, and are more likely to have used a library website. Among those ages 16-29, 50% reported having used a library or bookmobile in the course of the past year in a September 2013 survey.

There is a great conversation on ALA?s Association for Rural and Small Libraries listserv about serving youth on the autism spectrum. I know some of this information has been shared here before, but as more and more children are being diagnosed on the spectrum (new reports suggest 1 in 68 children so, whether or not you know it, they are in your community and in your library) we should be aware of their special needs whether or not we?re planning programs/services explicitly for autistic youth. If any of you have other resources or advice to share, please do share it on this listserv! There are a lot of great resources to support libraries serving youth (and adults) with autism available on the Libraries and Autism: We?re Connected website: http://www.librariesandautism.org/newresources.htm. TechSoup for Libraries has some resources available on serving youth on the spectrum: ?

TechSoup also published a Spotlight article on Skokie Public Library?s work with accessible technology: http://techsoupforlibraries.org/spotlight/making-technology-accessible-to-everybody If you are considering including autistic children in your current storytimes or considering to start a storytime explicitly for autistic children, then here are two resources for planning and implementing what are typically called Sensory Storytimes: ?

[cid:image001.jpg at 01CFD26E.EDB21420] Angela Johnson, a multi-award winning author of children?s and young adult literature, is coming to Portland, Oregon! Join OASL on Saturday, October 18th at the Embassy Suites Hotel, Portland Airport to hear her speak on ?Diversity, Race and Culture in Schools.? In fact, Ms. Johnson will be in Oregon for over a week, visiting schools and library branches for smaller sessions, but speaking at a public event on the 18th. Hailed as a leading voice in both young-adult and children?s literature, Angela?s books celebrate African-American families, history and relationships. As one book reviewer eloquently stated, ?Angela?s stories touch readers in ways that endure. Rich with memorable characters, lyricism and meaning, Johnson transports us to new places and keeps us there by exploring the threads that connect us.? Ms. Johnson is a three-time winner of the Coretta Scott King Award, and a two time honoree. She's won the Michael L. Printz Award, and is a recipient of an Ezra Jack Keats New Writer Award. Clearly, Ms. Johnson has a unique talent for reaching readers of all ages, and in recognition of her talent, Angela was named a 2003 MacArthur Fellow. Born in Tuskegee, Alabama in 1961, she grew up in Alabama and Ohio. Ms. Johnson?s presentation is a culminating event for a day-long OASL Fall conference for anyone interested in connecting, collaborating and celebrating good reads for K-12 students. Everyone is invited to join us at the Embassy Suites, Portland Airport for the whole day, or just for Angela Johnson?s presentation.

We now have access to National Geographic Kids (NGK) on OSLIS. What is National Geographic Kids? National Geographic Kids is a Gale database aimed at K-8 students. It includes access to National Geographic Kids magazine from 2009 to the present (3 month embargo), 200 National Geographic Kids books, and 500 kid-friendly and downloadable images. As the Gale NGK webpage points out, the database is full of authoritative nonfiction content, aka informational text, that supports Common Core and other standards. National Geographic Kids Webpage: http://www.cengagesites.com/Literature/776/national-geographic-for-research-libraries/ng-kids/ How Do I Access NGK? All statewide databases - the Gale suite plus LearningExpress Library - are available to the Oregon K-12 community via the Find Information pages on OSLIS. NGK is featured on both the elementary and secondary skins (versions). Remember that we have access to more Gale databases than we can feature. To see the full list of Gale databases, or common menu, click on PowerSearch on any OSLIS Find Information page. When prompted for a login, use the same credentials you use to access other Gale databases. If you do not know your district's or private school's Gale login, please ask me for it.

Thank you tons for those of you who sent me very thorough responses about developing YA non-fiction collections and what kind of scope your collections cover, collection development philosophies, etc. The responses were great and I wanted to share some of the key points with everyone, in case this info could help another librarian! Highlights: - Some libraries are selecting research-oriented non-fiction for the adult and juvenile non-fiction collections, and using the YA non-fiction for health and wellness (sex, drugs, etc), and popular interest titles. However, these libraries might also be shifting the focus of their YA non-fiction collections to be more curriculum-oriented with the move to Common Core. o One library is looking for more "informative texts" as they are called in Common Core language, including titles that address different historical periods, social movements, and teen-friendly biographies. - Other librarians commented that research-topic books tend not to move much from the shelves of the YA non-fiction section. One librarian stated that he does collect the following, though: o Books on current controversies o Research-related books on staple topics, such as World War II, the founding of the US, etc o Good historical books with teen appeal, such as Steve Sheinkin's Bomb: The Race to Build... o It was pretty unanimous that, rather than investing in large, general non-fiction books/series about research-related topics, looking for books with genuine teen appeal or with perennial interest are a better investment - Several librarians commented that the following kinds of books are both important to have in a YA non-fiction collection and/or get a lot of use by teens: o Health and wellness topics, like information about drugs, abuse, pregnancy, divorce, including real personal narratives o College and test prep books - with weeding to keep them current o Research books/lit crit books on commonly-assigned topics and classics taught in local schools o Books about comics, graphic novels, popular movies, and current entertainment o Video game guides and gaming books, quirky craft books, drawing books (especially for comics and manga-style drawing), dating and personal appearance books, books about the paranormal Again, a HUGE thank you to the librarians who took the time to reply and share your knowledge and expertise with me! If anyone has further insight/ideas, please feel free to send it along at any time.
