About the LSTA Advisory Council: The LSTA Advisory Council assists the State Library Board in carrying out Oregon's LSTA 5-year state plan by being involved in the review of project proposals and reports (including our annual LSTA competitive grants), making recommendations to the Board, evaluation, and advising the Board about any issues concerning the LSTA federal library grant program. The LSTA Advisory Council consists of thirteen members and is broadly representative of library entities in Oregon, including public, school, academic, and special libraries. Special consideration is given to ensure that the following are represented: geographic areas of the state, library users, the underserved and underrepresented persons. To nominate yourself or a colleague, please use this form by the new deadline of Sunday, December 10, 2017: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/LSTAcouncil2018-2020 The State Library Board will appoint new Advisory Council members in late January.

The work the libraries do to engage their communities and help get children excited about reading is incredible. Unfortunately, the Oregon College Savings Plan will not be able to financially support program activities this coming summer, including the Oregon Summer Reading Sweepstakes and funding performers for libraries serving communities of 10,000 or fewer. As with many agencies around the state, the Oregon College Savings Plan is dealing with a reduced budget for the coming year. We hope to work with Summer Reading again in the future. The State Library of Oregon thanks the Oregon College Savings Plan for their sponsorship and support of Summer Reading activities in Oregon's public libraries since 2011. This sponsorship has added value to many libraries' activities. We look forward to working with the Oregon College Savings Plan again in the future when funding becomes available. Libraries that have relied on performers funded by the Oregon College Savings Plan may want to alter their 2018 Ready to Read grant project to re-allocate grant funds to other activities. Please submit all proposed changes to Darci Hanning via email: darci.hanning at state.or.us.
