From katie.anderson at state.or.us Fri Jan 2 14:53:41 2015 From: katie.anderson at state.or.us (Katie Anderson) Date: Fri, 2 Jan 2015 22:53:41 +0000 Subject: [OYAN] Summer reading ideas Message-ID: <640435851FD7CB4AB3C4BE0D1963BA24529C3E66@OSLEXCHANGE.osl.state.or.us.local> Hi! I just finished reviewing the 2013-2014 Ready to Read Grant final reports. You are doing some great things! Below is a list of some of the things Oregon libraries are doing for summer reading. I thought you might be able to get some good ideas from these. Summer Reading: * We found that all the families (tweens and their adults) who attempted the scavenger hunt through their favorite childhood books while using the catalog and sharing their favorite apps/websites completed it, 38 in total. One parent noted "It's nice to have this program together. It's a good way to communicate with my [tween]." This was an exciting discovery--that tweens and adults liked the opportunity to talk about books and reading. In the future, we will strive to provide more opportunities for tweens and their adults to connect with each other about books and reading. * We solicited input from the English Language Learners teacher at our local elementary school for titles that would be relevant for her students, and purchased many of them for our giveaway books. We had especially good feedback about the giveaway books this year. A few participants timed their completion to coincide with a birthday or other special event because it was such a treat to choose a free, new book. * Through a partnership with the elementary school, I was able to sign-up all the English Language Learners in K-5th Grade in the SRP. Before school got out I visited the ELL classes to present the program and reading logs and show them sample prize books, some of which were bilingual that would allow these children to read with their parents. It was a great incentive for these children. * Partnered with the school district to serve as a lunch site for the summer food program. Sack lunches were prepared by the school district and the library served them in the park across the street from the library. The library provided storytimes, activities, and giveaway books Monday through Friday for 6 weeks. * Kids who filled out and returned book reviews received a small incentive and their reviews went into a binder where other children can access them so they can find books to read recommended by their peers. Kids could fill out and return as many book reviews as they wanted. * Extra points were given to children/parents reading to each other and discussing story contents. Teamed up with a local pizza restaurant that offered kids who read 8 books over the summer a free mini pizza, 75% of participating kids took advantage of this offer. * We have a "dress code" for each summer reading program. I list the dress code for each program with the SRP sign-up information and programming schedule. The kids have to research to plan their outfit. If they dress the code for that program, they are entered into a prize drawing. While the drawing is being done, parents/caregivers take the time to do a quick survey. * Each performer provided a bibliography and program-extenders for their program. The library purchased the books from their bibliographies, created weekly displays for checkout, and distributed copies of the bibliography and program extenders. * Our biggest surprise was family participation in the mascot program. We had six stuffed animals at businesses in towns. When kids saw a mascot they came to the library and filled out a slip, each a chance to win that mascot. Some families showed up at the library for the first time because they saw a mascot at a business in town. We plan to expand it next year because many local businesses were jealous of the ones that got the animals. According to our survey results, this was the most popular part of our program that families did together. * We partnered with a local school and had the school library staff sign the kids up onsite at the school. * The library's SRP volunteer program is the largest teen community engagement program the library coordinates. 86% of the volunteers were in middle or high school, SRP volunteers logged a cumulative total of 15,000 hours. Teens built relationships with non-relative contacts for future employment, scholarships, and various other activities that require references; teens broadened their perspective "The most challenging thing was communicating with people I didn't know and people who spoke different languages"; teens were mentored by trusted adults "My favorite part of summer reading was spending time at the library and getting to know staff."; Teens get to provide direct service in their neighborhood "The best part is talking to all the regular people and kids who live near me and come in to the library to get a prize."; the community sees teens engaging in service to others; teens develop a sense of responsibility "Working with the staff and being able to experience what a almost real job would be like" Teens learn job skills "My favorite part of volunteering was that I got to work in the library and I gained experience in customer service" * The SRP was promoted in residents utility bills. * Adding passive programming for adults engaged them more in the theme and helped more families participate together in summer reading. * I have kids who only live her part of the time because of shared custody. SRP participants can earn points for attending events and these kids lost out on points because they were at their other parent's house. Next year I plan to make a sheet they can complete while away and turn back in to make up missed event points. * Each week in conjunction with our summer reading theme, the local Community Center/Parks & Rec offered arts and crafts. This was promoted as Fizz, Boom, Create. The summer reading coordinator attended it each week and found it to be a positive experience for the children. Most of the children who participated were those involved in the summer reading program. * In rural northeastern Oregon, the library's weekly summer reading program numbers were horrible so I decided to make a change. I decided to try an independent reading program where families read together and reported back to me when it was convenient for the family. Families earned tokens and would shop with me, discussing savings tokens for better prizes (books) or spending what they had that day on smaller prizes like puzzles. Last year we had 84 children sign up and almost all met their reading goal. It was incredibly time consuming and there is only one .75 staff person at the library. I was so busy and exhausted I didn't want to do it again, but decided to do it again anyway. In 2014 we had 119 children sign up and 72% met their reading goal. I will continue with this program because it just keeps getting bigger. Now the kids come in to the library all summer long. They get to know the library and what it can offer them. It is truly amazing. The kids love it. The parents love it. One family called it the highlight of their summer! * The new principal saw a librarian visit the elementary school's free lunch site to read stories during the summer. This opened the door for us to participate at their Back to School Night. From these great interactions, we were invited to join the school's Community Partner Team and more! * We recorded sign-ups, program participation, and completion for students at our target elementary school. The school was the only one in the area with more than 75% of students eligible for free/reduced lunch. At every library program we asked students who attended the target school last year to raise their hands to track their participation in programs. We also collected data through returned coupons from children enrolled in Migrant Summer School who received an extra free book as a bonus for signing up for SRP. * We created a weekly Bonus Ticket prize drawing. For this drawing, kids were asked to write or talk about their reading with a grownup. It was both a way to support comprehension skills development, and a way to offer an additional element for those super readers who always want to do more. The Bonus Ticket drawings were enjoyed by both patrons and staff. We had a good rate of participation, with many kids entering almost every week. The bulletin board display of entries was a great celebration of the summer's reading, and staff enjoyed having conversation with kids about their latest favorite book. It was unanimously decided that we will do this again next year. Survey results indicated that more kids participating in the Bonus Ticket improved their ability to describe what they read (68%) and express their opinion about what they read (70%) compared with kids who only did the independent reading log (45% described better, 53% expressed opinions better). * We created a spreadsheet to track reading progress, program attendance, and parent participation. * We included a new Community Reading Goal component this year. We calculated the number of minutes we felt would be attainable for our community to read throughout the summer (1.5 million minutes). Each age level's reading log included tracking the number of minutes read and the total reading time for all participants was added together. Throughout the summer we tracked our Community Reading progress on a public display. We happily reached our Community Reading Goal a few weeks before the end of the summer. In the end, the community read 2.6 million minutes! We believe this helped encourage excitement about reading among all participants and the library also received positive publicity in the local paper.

It?s time to nominate titles for the 2016 Oregon Readers Choice Award titles at the ORCA blog. Here is a general timeline of how the process works and what you can do. Which titles can be nominated? Titles for the 2016 ORCA need a 2013 copyright date. This delay ensures that the title will be readily available in paperback during the voting year. Categories are Upper Elementary (grades 3-5), Middle School (grades 6-8), and High School (grades 9-12). Who can nominate titles? Oregon students, this is your chance to nominate your favorites. Oregon teachers and librarians are also eligible to nominate titles. How long is the nomination link open? The link is open from January 1 until February 28, 2015. What happens next? The nominations are reviewed by a committee of librarians and educators. The committee selects the final titles based upon a number of criteria, including literary quality, creativity, reading enjoyment, reading level, and regional interest. Voting for the 2015 Oregon Readers Choice Award runs March 1-31, 2015. Ballots are available on the website or the blog. There will be links on both sites to submit your votes starting March 1. Who can vote? Oregon students in grades 3-12 can vote if they have read or listened to at least two books in one of the divisions. When are the winners announced? 2016 titles will be announced at the Oregon Library Association Convention in April and then posted on the ORCA website and blog. What else can you do? Let us know what kinds of fun things you did with your students and ORCA so we can share it with others. ----------------------------- Nina Kramer ORCA Chair orca at olaweb.org -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This group includes primarily young adults who do not have children, do not live in their own home, or do not have sufficient income to become fully independent in their early to late 20s. Emerging adults do not see themselves as adolescents, but many of them also do not see themselves entirely as adults. Four librarians ( Laura Liang, Jessi Snow, Vikki Terrile and Julie Winkelstein) are researching this age demographic in library settings and looking at how this age group is being served in terms of the programs, services, if there is a specific librarian assigned to work with this population (teen, adult or emerging adult) and how the library system is sharing and promoting this service area. We are beginning our research with a survey, to gauge how many libraries/library systems are doing this kind of work. We then plan to speak to some of those libraries/library systems to have a more in depth conversation about the services and the librarian(s) that provide the services. Ultimately the goal is to end with a research paper in a peer review publication. We appreciate your input as it helps us capture the work that is being done for this population. Please respond to the survey in Survey Monkey by January 30. https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/LWL8NLD Thank you for taking the time to participate in this survey!

Make It Here: Inciting Creativity and Innovation in Your Library. Santa Barbara, CA: Libraries Unlimited. 978-1-61069-554-1. *This book appears to be about makerspaces for upper elementary children, 'tweens, teens, and adults. Libraries of all sizes and resource levels are finding ways to support community innovation and creativity through maker programming-and successful programs don't require dedicating an entire area of the library to makerspace activities or sophisticated technologies such as 3D printers. Make It Here: Inciting Creativity and Innovation in Your Library provides a complete, step-by-step guide for starting a makerspace program at your library and follows through with instructions for operation and building on your success. This book takes you step-by-step through starting your maker program-from finding the right "makerspace mix," making a plan, and working with staff to establishing funding and support, launching your makerspace, and evaluating and refining your programs. The authors provide guidance based on their personal experiences in creating and developing maker programs in their libraries as well as feedback and lessons learned from library makers across the country. You'll see how easy it can be to bring their ideas to life in ways that will empower your community, and be encouraged to be bold and think outside of the box when imagining the possibilities.

Contact BirdBrain Technologies info at finchrobot.com 1-888-371-6161 At Birdbrain Technologies we are firm believers that all kids should have the chance to learn coding and computational thinking skills. We aim to provide diverse access to our robots and get them in front of all students, so they can begin to imagine, create, and expand their exposure to computer science. The Finch robot loan [to own] program is one avenue for us to broaden the reach of our robots and inspire young coders across the country... Our goal was to catalyze coding and computer science learning experiences for students who might not ordinarily have the opportunity to program a robot as part of their typical classroom experience. During 2014 we loaned out hundreds of Finch robots to school districts across the country and reached over 15,000 students. Building on the success of our initial loan program, in 2015 we are expanding the program to serve not only schools, but also libraries. Currently the Chicago Public Library and the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh have fleets of robots available for public use. We are excited to see what other libraries around the country can do with the Finches! Libraries that create innovative and engaging content will be eligible for the program to convert from loan to own. We are excited to donate the Finches to organizations demonstrating high community engagement. We will be shipping robots in batches of 40, and we would like each robot to be used by a minimum of five different students during the course of the month.

The State Library and OLA's Children's Services Division are talking about how we can better support public libraries working with their regional Early Learning Hub. To get started, we need a little information from libraries. I created an online survey to collection that information and sent the link to the survey to all public library directors. Below is the email that I sent to your library director. If you are working with your regional Early Learning Hub, I recommend you ask your library director about the email they received (see below) and work with them to decide which one person from your library should complete the survey. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks, Katie Email subject: [PL-Directors] Libraries and Early Learning Hubs: information needed by 2/1 Dear Public Library Directors, The State Library and OLA's Children's Services Division are talking about how we can better support public libraries working with their regional Early Learning Hub. To get started, we need a little information from libraries. Please have one person at your library complete this online survey by February 1, 2015: [URL to survey was sent to library directors only to ensure one person at each library completes the survey.] If your library is not working with your Early Learning Hub, the survey will take you less than 5 minutes to complete because you will only have to answer two questions. If your library is working with your Early Learning Hub, the survey will take you at least 10 minutes to complete. Most are multiple choice questions so shouldn't take you much time, but there are five optional open-ended questions at the end that will take you as much or as little time as you choose to spend on them. I will be sending an email out on the kids-lib, OYAN, and libs-or listservs to let your staff know you have the link to this survey. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Boulder, CO: Rowman &Littlefield. 978-1-4422-2967-9. *This book appears to be about makerspaces for upper elementary children, 'tweens, teens, and adults. A "makerspace" is an area in a library where users can use tools and equipment to design, build, and create all sorts of different things. It may be a dedicated room or a multipurpose space in which a collection of raw materials and resources can be utilized as desired. Projects range from prototyping product designs with 3D printers, to programming robots, to creating art out of recycled items. This practical guide will help librarians * develop, budget for, and implement makerspaces; * write grant proposals for funding; * and understand the mindset behind the maker movement in order to meet patron needs. Makerspaces: A Practical Guide for Librarians also includes useful case studies, descriptions of equipment and new technologies, and models for planning and assessing projects.

Making Makers: Kids, Tools, and the Future of Innovations. Sebastopol, CA: MakerMedia. 978-1-4571-8374-4. This is a book for parents and other educators-both formal and informal, who are curious about the intersections of learning and making. Through stories, research, and data, it builds the case for why it is crucial to encourage today's youth to be makers-to see the world as something they are actively helping to create. For those who are new to the Maker Movement, some history and introduction is given as well as practical advice for getting kids started in making. For those who are already familiar with the Maker Movement, this book provides biographical information about many of the "big names" and unsung heroes of the Maker Movement while also highlighting many of the attributes that make this a movement that so many people are passionate about.

Helping Patrons Meet Their Higher Education Goal March 26, 10:00am Pacific As information and education centers, libraries are an ideal place for patrons-teens and adults-to learn about higher education opportunities. What can you offer in response to patrons who are curious about college? If you or your staff feel flummoxed by college-related reference questions, this session will acquaint you with the different types of college-bound students, college-related resources to promote at your library, and ways to work with community partners on programs for each audience. Provide help for the many patrons who do not have access to pricey college prep programs and services.

You can track the progress of HB 2479 on the Oregon Legislature's website: https://olis.leg.state.or.us/liz/2015R1/Measures/Overview/HB2479. Please remember, if HB 2479 passes the Ready to Read grant will be replaced by the Reading for Success grant, expanding the program so libraries may use state funds on early literacy, summer reading, and school age (afterschool) projects for youth birth-12th grade. I've highlight the part in the email below that pertains to Ready to Read for your convenience. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Probably most important to us is that the 2015 Legislative Session will be getting underway on February 2nd. The legislators will be sworn in on Monday January 12th and then spend the next several weeks in training and organizing. We will be making our budget presentation before the General Government Subcommittee of the Joint Ways and Means committee. We don't know the schedule yet but will be ready to go in mid-February. In addition to our 2015-2017 budget the Governor, at our request, has introduced legislation to make changes to the Ready to Read Grant program. The bill number is HB2479 and changes the name from Ready to Read to Reading for Success, increases the ages served from 0 to 14 to 0 to 17, and allows libraries to provide out of school time activities for school age children in addition to early literacy and summer reading. Katie Anderson, our youth services consultant, brought together a group of stakeholders in early 2014 to develop the changes. She also spent some time on the road this summer introducing the concepts across the state. She will be doing a presentation at the OLA conference about the changes that will occur if the legislation passes. I will be in touch about this on a regular basis and welcome questions. The State Library is continuing to phase out Oregon Center for the Book activities. We still haven't found a new home for it and are working with the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress. The Oregon Poetry Collection has moved to the University of Oregon. The Oregon Poetry Association, State Library, and University of Oregon are hopeful that the collection will get more use in an academic setting where professors can integrate it into their curriculum and students can use it for assignments. The Oregon Poetry Collection will still be available statewide via interlibrary loan and the Oregon Library Passport Program. The Oregon Center for the Book's partnership with Literary Arts to promote the Oregon Book Awards in public libraries has also changed. The State Library will still communicate Oregon Book Award related information to the library community on behalf of Literary Art, but will no longer distribute finalists' titles to select libraries. Literary Arts currently plans to continue providing copies of finalists' titles to select libraries, but will likely make changes to that program. This is the last year the Oregon Center for the Book will run Letters About Literature, the national reading and writing contest for youth in 4th through 12th grade. I am having discussions with several organizations to gauge their interest in running this contest. As you may have read in the January Letter to Libraries Online, we are having a materials offering at the State Library on January 21st. The Willamette Valley Genealogical Society (WVGS) has been housing selected genealogical resources at the Genealogical Resources Center (GRC) at the Oregon State Library (OSL) through a partnership that began in 1987. These materials were purchased and acquired by WVGS. They are WVGS materials and will be moved to the WVGS new location which is expected to be the Salem Public Library. The partnership between the State Library and WVGS has ended, although the State Library will store the WVGS materials until May 2015. Genealogy materials added to the Oregon State Library collection prior to 1987 that meet established collection development guidelines will remain in the State Library collection. Materials that are housed at OSL but belong to other organizations will not be removed from the collection. Materials that do not meet the mission of the Collections of the Oregon State Library will be weeded from the collection, which is standard practice with library materials. Weeded items will follow the OSL collection disposal process and stipulations in the Memorandum of Understanding between the Oregon State Library and the Willamette Valley Genealogical Society. Disposition of these genealogy materials is being coordinated with WVGS and the genealogical community in Oregon. Materials are being offered to genealogy organizations and other libraries. If you have questions about the material offering process please contact Kate McGann at kate.e.mcgann at state.or.us. We have been working with the consulting firm, Coraggio Group, since August of 2014 to develop a strategic plan that will take us through the 2015-2017 biennium. We have almost completed that work and I am creating a publication that we can share with you. I am very excited about the work that has been done by both the State Library Board of Trustees and the staff of the State Library. The work we have done in the last several months has been based on all the input and work the library community and other stakeholders have done in the last two years. We have updated our vision and mission, created core values, and strategic imperatives. The strategic imperatives we will be working on are: Focus on the Customer, Build Awareness of the State Library, Build on Staff Strengths, and Enhance Partnerships. I will send out a link when we get the publication together. The Oregon library community has been incredibly supportive of the State Library over the years and I can't thank you enough for your support, your interest, and your ideas. I am very excited as we continue to create an Oregon State Library for the 21st century. Please feel free to contact me with questions, concerns, or if you just want to chat.

[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.

The ILAGO folks are hoping to get more public librarians (especially those serving teens) involved. This year the theme of the summit is accelerated learning (see description below), but presentations on other information literacy topics are also welcome. When I attended the OYAN meeting last week, we brainstormed some possible options, including having a panel of teens who are enrolled in accelerated learning programs. If you know some teens who might be interested, please let me know! Or, if you have other ideas, let me know about those, too! Julie and I can talk them over with the ILAGO folks to see what might be a good fit. Thanks, Jackie Partch ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Tracy Scharn Date: Mon, Jan 12, 2015 at 11:05 AM Subject: [Libs-Or] Call for Proposals for the Annual ILAGO IL Spring Summit To: "ilago at lists.chemeketa.edu" , oweac at lists.chemeketa.edu, libs-or at listsmart.osl.state.or.us, PNLA-L at yahoogroups.com Please forward to other interested persons. ----------- The 9th annual ILAGO Information Literacy Summit will be held May 16, 2015 at Columbia Gorge Community College's Hood River Campus. The theme for this year's IL Summit is Accelerated Learning, but we invite a variety of presentations related to information literacy. Oregon is implementing accelerated learning programs across the state, which enable high school students to earn college credit for courses that they take in a K-12 setting through partnerships with credit-granting community colleges and 4-year institutions. Examples include the Eastern Promise collaboration between colleges and school districts in rural parts of the state; and the Challenge and Senior Inquiry programs at Portland State University that serve the metro area. We are particularly interested in proposals for presentations that help us understand the implications of accelerated learning for librarians and for students acquiring information literacy skills, such as: - Perspectives of school librarians serving high school students enrolled in college classes - Impact of accelerated learning on public librarians - Partnerships between college/university libraries and accelerated learning programs - Insight on the new landscape of high school - Best practices for providing equivalent library resources and services to K-12 students - Success stories of students in accelerated programs and beyond - Other information literacy topics are welcome as well! The Summit typically has 60-80 attendees who come from many areas of practice (higher ed, public, K-12) and are eager to hear new ideas and ways to approach information literacy. We invite you to submit proposals for panels, presentations, discussions on best practices, and other programs. Programs should be designed to run for a total of 45 minutes including Q&A. Program proposals will be accepted until Friday, March 13, 2015. Please submit your proposals here: ILAGO IL Summit Program Proposal We look forward to hearing from you. *Sarah Ralston * Information Literacy Instruction Librarian Pierce Library Eastern Oregon University sralston at eou.edu (541) 962-3474 _____________________________________________________ Libs-Or mailing list Libs-Or at listsmart.osl.state.or.us http://listsmart.osl.state.or.us/mailman/listinfo/libs-or Hosted by the Oregon State Library.

Yesterday the Oregon State Board of Education (SBOE) adopted the Oregon School Library Standards. How that will affect school libraries is yet to be determined. The OASL ad hoc committee that sought the adoption and OASL?s Oregon School Library Standards committee will seek more information and develop next steps. Thanks to both groups for their efforts. OASL established a committee to write school library standards in the spring of 2010. They received a Library Services and Technology Grant from the State Library and used funds to meet to research and develop standards during the 2011-12 school year. Those standards were finalized and went online by late summer 2012. After that, the focus shifted to promoting the standards in the Oregon education committee and to getting the standards adopted by the State Board of Education. After some initial unsuccessful efforts, an ad hoc committee secured a meeting in November 2014 with members of the Oregon Department of Education (ODE) to present background information and propose the adoption. Nicole Dalton, the English Language Arts specialist, and Emily Nazarov, the ODE liaison to the SBOE, were impressed with the presentation and the standards. Nicole received approval from her supervisor to support the adoption, and Emily put it before the SBOE for a first read at their December 2014 meeting. During that meeting, Stephanie Thomas, OASL President, made a case for adopting the standards. The information was well received, and the chair of the SBOE moved the matter to the consent agenda for the January 2015 meeting. That meeting was yesterday, and as you know by now, the standards were officially adopted. The SBOE actions taken at the January 22nd meeting should be available online soon.

The Annual Report indicates the impact Ready to Read grant funded early literacy activities and summer reading programs had on youth 0-14 years old in Oregon. Data included in the Annual Report comes from Ready to Read Final Reports libraries submitted to the State Library December 1, 2014. The Ready to Read Annual Report also includes the list of libraries implementing all three youth services best practices in 2014 regardless of funding (data from the Public Library Statistics is used for this). Congratulations to the five libraries receiving the 2013-2014 Outstanding Ready to Read Project Award! I was particularly impressed to learn that small, rural libraries successfully improved their summer reading programs for 'tweens and teens. This effort may help these libraries engage older teens in summer reading if HB 2479 passes, expanding the grant to also include teens 15 years old through seniors in high school. * Coquille Public Library * Enterprise Public Library * Helix Public Library * Newport Public Library * Salem Public Library Want to learn what other libraries did last year? Read this list of early literacy and summer reading ideas I created from libraries' Ready to Read Grant final reports. Thanks for all of your hard work last year-great job!
