I was agonizing about this year's theme, because I felt it promoted screen-time and commercialism, and wishing that Heydi were still here, because I wanted her to take the lead with this theme, she would have rocked it. But I didn't have Heydi, and I needed to make the program work within my convictions. We had already chosen a few local heroes, then I had an idea: Why not ask the local schools to each choose a hero from among their staffs? The schools loved the idea, they got bookmarks and posters with their school heroes, the kids are totally stoked that one of their buttons (we give away buttons instead of toys) will have someone from their school on it. We have 2 custodians, a music teacher, a PE teacher and a Vice-Principal. So what I thought might be the most lame program ever is turning into one of our most popular programs ever. My hope is that more kids will participate because of this connection to their school. We plan a huge Super-Hero Training Day at the end of August and have invited all of the local and school heroes to join us! I'm trying to think of how to make this connection with the schools happen again next year if it works out as well as I hope it does. Here's a link to our Stayton Library Foundation's Facebook page, you can see the posters there! https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Stayton-Public-Library-Foundation/206008912825354 -- Casle Portner Stayton Public Library Children's Services 503-769-3313 casle at ccrls.org "I like the pages to turn.

When I go to the libraries to present the awards, I also visit nearby libraries so they can show off the cool things they are doing and get some face-to-face consulting. This is one of the primary ways I learn what libraries in Oregon are doing and what they look like. Now that the State Library has a facebook page, you too can learn what other Oregon libraries are doing and what they look like. Take a look, and be sure to read the captions to learn a little about what's going on at each library. You'll also get to "meet" the some of the librarians!

It costs $25 to register, and the webinar runs from 11:00 am to 12:30 pm Pacific. When it comes to helping children develop robust language skills, talking is essential. Equally important, however, is responding. Join us is Catherine Snow, one of the world's leading experts on language and literacy, provides perspective on the developmental approach to learning language from birth to the teen years. This live, 90-minute webinar - designed for educators, parents, or members of literacy organizations - will include periods of lecture and interaction, with participants having the opportunity to pose questions to Professor Snow. What You Will Learn * How very young children learn to talk and the role adults can play * Understand the importance of stimulating talk in preschool and answering children's questions * Discover the power of discussion and debate to promote effective reading and writing for middle and high school students http://www.gse.harvard.edu/ppe/program/learning-talk-talking http://www.gse.harvard.edu/ppe/usable-knowledge-webinars http://www.gse.harvard.edu/uk/about http://www2.smartbrief.com/ncle/index.jsp FYI, Jen Jennifer Maurer School Library Consultant Oregon State Library 250 Winter Street NE Salem, OR 97301 503.378.5011 jennifer.maurer at state.or.us FOLLOW US: [facebookSmall.png] [Slogan Text] Summer Reading 2015 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Read what other libraries are doing worldwide Message-ID: <640435851FD7CB4AB3C4BE0D1963BA2452AFF5B6@OSLEXCHANGE.osl.state.or.us.local> Hi! The latest newsletter from IFLA's Libraries for Children and Young Adults (http://www.ifla.org/node/9632) includes several articles about what libraries worldwide are doing for maker activities and maker spaces. Many of you are doing maker activities and some of you are considering creating maker spaces so I thought you might be interested. Things that stood out to me in the articles I read: * Maker activities/spaces should be about teen experiences not adult agendas. * Libraries are not schools and librarians are not teachers. "MakerSpace activities should have limited adult direction. This is not school... Because these activities take place in a library the experience is very different than it would be in a school setting. This is not structured, class-room based learning-even if it may look similar to or its organization takes on some aspects of a classroom." * Maker activities "must encourage teenagers to experiment, to explore and to be innovative." My personal opinion based on other reading/research is that maker activities/spaces should provide teens opportunities to fail and try again and again. * Maker activities should focus on creativity and problem solving, "with a splash of library awareness" * Maker activities/spaces for youth have a wider impact on other library users, program facilitators, and the community. Need to justify maker activities/spaces to decision makers? Use the 40 Developmental Assets for Adolescents (http://www.search-institute.org/content/40-developmental-assets-adolescents-ages-12-18)!

Founder and board chair of National Summer Learning Association, Matthew Boulay says "I am proud to share my passion and work with fellow Oregonians as we partner to provide summer learning opportunities for hundreds of under-served youth across the state of Oregon. We are excited to see SL3 ( Summer Learning, Summer Library, Summer Lunch) grow in the future, doing all we can to stop the opportunity gap." State Librarian MaryKay Dahlgreen shares "There are always more youth to reach, especially during the summer months, but we must be doing something right to see our 30 Summer Learning, Summer Library, Summer Lunch (SL3) sites highlighted on a national site. " We also want to take this opportunity to share First Lady Michelle Obama's video of support released for National Summer Learning Day last Friday. We hope you take a few minutes to watch these videos, share with others and look at the Summer Learning Map to find some of the summer learning opportunities happening in your community.

They are seeking motivated, engaged community members who have experience with building and organizing children and young adult book collections, who have time to spend building out the first two collections. Open eBooks will contain hundreds of public domain titles that are free for all kids. What makes Open eBooks different is that it will also contain thousands of popular and award-winning titles that will be free for unlimited usage by low-income students.

The latest report on national high school dropout and completion rates was just released (read below). You can find the dropout and completion rate for the schools in your library service area here: http://schools.oregonlive.com/. The current data looks bleak in too many cases, but take a look at the charts in the report. You'll see that since 1972 dropout rates have declined. Low-income, Hispanic, and Black teens still dropout at a higher rate than middle/high income White teens, but over time their dropout rates have declined the most. How does this related to library teen services? If a school with a high dropout rate is in your service area, you may be able to use this data to advocate for improving teen services at your library-especially outreach to low-income, Hispanic, and Black teens. You can look at reading, writing, math, and science test scores of students at schools in your service area too. This can help you plan the types of programs that may help students in the subjects they need the most help. NCES releases Trends in High School Dropout and Completion Rates in the United States: 1972-2012 On June 25, 2015, the National Center for Education Statistics will release Trends in High School Dropout and Completion Rates in the United States: 1972-2012. The report draws on an array of nationally representative surveys and administrative datasets to present statistics on high school dropout and completion rates. The report includes national estimates of the percentage of students who drop out in a given 12-month period (event dropout rates), the percentage of young people in a specified age range who are high school dropouts (status dropout rates), and the percentage of young people in a specified age range who hold high school credentials (status completion rates). In addition, the report includes state-level data on event dropout rates and the percentage of students who graduate within four years of starting ninth grade (adjusted cohort graduation rate). Data are presented by a number of characteristics including race/ethnicity, sex, and socioeconomic status. Key findings from this year's report include the following: On average, 3.4 percent of students who were enrolled in public or private high schools in October 2011 left school before October 2012 without completing a high school program. Event dropout rates have trended downward, from 6.1 percent in 1972 to 3.4 percent in 2012. Black and Hispanic students had higher event dropout rates than White students in 2012 (6.8 percent, 5.4 percent, and 1.6 percent, respectively). In October 2012, approximately 2.6 million 16- through 24-year-olds were not enrolled in high school and had not earned a high school diploma or alternative credential. These status dropouts accounted for 6.6 percent of the 38.8 million noninstitutionalized, civilian 16- through 24-year-olds living in the United States. Among all individuals in this age group, status dropout rates trended downward between 1972 and 2012, declining from 14.6 percent to 6.6 percent. The 2012 status dropout rates for Asian/Pacific Islander (3.3 percent) and White (4.3 percent) 16- to 24-year olds were lower than those for Black (7.5 percent), Hispanic (12.7 percent), and American Indian/Alaska Native (14.6 percent) 16- to 24-year-olds. White and Black status dropout rates fell from 1972 to 2012, from 12.3 to 4.3 percent and from 21.3 to 7.5 percent, respectively. Between 1972 and 1990, Hispanic status dropout rates showed no clear trend, but between 1990 and 2012 they fell from 32.4 percent to 12.7 percent. In 2012, 91.3 percent of 18- through 24-year-olds not enrolled in high school had received a high school diploma or alternative credential. Since 1980, the status completion rate has shown an upward trend, starting at 83.9 percent in 1980 and rising to 91.3 percent in 2012. In 2012, Asian/Pacific Islander (94.9 percent) and White (94.6 percent) young adults had status completion rates that were higher than Black (90.0 percent), Hispanic (82.8 percent), and American Indian/Alaska Native (79.0 percent) young adults (table 9). The status completion rate for persons of Two or more races (91.9 percent) did not measurably differ from the rates for White or Asian/Pacific Islander young adults.
