So many of us use data to compare libraries, check salary rates, report on the impact of ready to read funds, etc., so we'd like to acknowledge those community-minded libraries who have reported their data! This year, a special acknowledgement goes to libraries performing way above the call of duty. For getting data reports submitted before 7/31/08 a diamond award goes to: Bandon Public Library Hermiston Public Library Sweet Home Public Library Umatilla County Special Library District Wallowa County Library The platinum star for stellar early filing of statistics before Sept. 1 goes to: Chetco Community Public Library Cottage Grove Library Enterprise City Library Joseph City Library La Grande Public Library Ledding Library Pilot Rock Public Library Port Orford District Library Scappoose Public Library Seaside Public Library Stanfield Public Library Ukiah Public Library Union Carnegie Public Library Weston Public Library The gold star award for filers by the deadline Adams Public Library Agness Library District Albany Public Library Arlington Public Library Astoria Public Library Athena Public Library Baker County Public Library Banks Public Library Beaverton City Library Brownsville Community Library Canby Public Library Cedar Mill Community Library Chemeketa Cooperative Regional Library Service Clackamas County Library Clatskanie Library District Coos Bay Public Library Coos County Library Service District Cornelius Public Library Corvallis-Benton County Public Library Crook County Library Curry Public Library District Dallas Public Library Deschutes Public Library System Dora Public Library Douglas County Library System Dufur School/Community Library Echo Public Library Elgin Public Library Emma Humphrey Library Estacada Public Library Eugene Public Library Flora M Laird Memorial Library Forest Grove City Library Fossil Public Library Garden Home Community Library Gilliam County Library Gladstone Public Library Grant County Library Harney County Library Harrisburg Public Library Hazel M.

Message-ID: Dear Directors: This is to inform you that as of today we have met our Books-for-China goal of 1,000 boxes to send to libraries in Fujian. Please don?t send us any more books. On October 15th members of the Oregon National Guard will come to the State Library to load a 40 ft. container that will be shipped to Xiamen, Fujian in a few weeks. I want to thank all of you who helped out with this project. It?s wonderful that we were able to meet our goal despite all of the challenges many of us are facing right now. The libraries in Fujian will be very grateful. Thanks again for your cooperation.

The closures will require state employees to take mandatory unpaid furloughs on those days, saving Oregon?s taxpayers about $2 million a day. The Governor?s executive team has worked with the unions who represent state workers to agree upon the dates of the closures, taking into account the need to minimize inconvenience to the public. We have thus avoided the costly and contentious legal battles that some other states have endured when public employees have contested the planned furloughs and closures. Here are the ten state agency closure days between now and July, 2011: October 16, 2009 November 27, 2009 March 19, 2010 April 16, 2010 June 18, 210 August 20, 2010 September 17, 2010 November 26, 2010 March 18, 2011 May 20, 2011 Be assured we will do everything possible to minimize disruption and hardship to those who rely on our services. We will have a plan in place to keep automated systems like Plinkit and OSLIS running. We will work hard to address any backlogs that may occur, and we will strive to help anyone who has suffered inconvenience because of the closure. We appreciate your understanding, and we eagerly await the return of normal economic times with a full resumption of our regular work schedule. Please let me know if you have any questions about this.

The old pdf and word.doc library directories were not searchable, there were 3 separate directories, they were difficult to use to create address labels for mailings, and were only updated quarterly. The new online directory is searchable, includes all types of libraries, you can update your library's info online so it will be updated continuously, you can create customized contact lists, and more easily create address labels for mailings for libraries on your customized lists. Please check out the Oregon Library Directory (http://libdir.osl.state.or.us/), and make sure your library information is up-to-date. We hope this will be a more effective tool for you and your staff.

The Oregon Library Association has a plan to draw attention to the Oregon Reads statewide reading project in its final days. The attached Op-Ed was written by George Bell, OLA Honorary Life Member and excellent journalist. It is George's recommendation that the most effective delivery of op-ed pieces is in person to your local newspaper's editor. If you are able to hand-deliver the attached op-ed by end-of-day October 30th please reply to me at this e-mail address: mjginnane at comcast.net. Those newspapers that won't be receiving a hand-delivered op-ed will receive it by e-mail or post office mail. This plan will help guarantee statewide distribution of the op-ed at approximately the same time-another recommendation for effective statewide coverage by George. If you have any questions about the op-ed or the facts about Oregon Reads that we feature please feel free to ask me, or Leah Griffith (Newberg PL), June Knudson (Hood River County L), or Sara Charlton (Tillamook Cty L). Leah, June, and Sara were our Oregon Reads Committee chairs over the course of the project and OLA stands in appreciation of their work on this successful project. Thanks to all participating libraries for your level of participation in Oregon Reads whether loaning books, conducting programs, or sponsoring complete community-wide reading programs. Finally, thank-you for your cooperation with this final promotion. Bat 6 Apples to Oregon over these Stubborn Twigs! It's been a great year!
