Participants are expected to attend all 10 training sessions over the course of three days (see schedule below). The sessions concentrate on the principles of public library services to children and teens, and how to put those principles into practice. Session topics may change from year to year based on research, library practices, and trends which change and improve continually. Feedback from the previous Focus Institute participants is also considered when planning session topics. Training sessions are presented by highly skilled, experienced Youth Services Librarians in Oregon. Presenters are typically active members of the Oregon Library Association's Children's Services Division (CSD) and Oregon Young Adult Network (OYAN). Participation in the Focus Institute is limited to 25 people, thus registration is somewhat competitive. You will be notified by August 5th if you have been accepted or put on the waiting list. Please let me know if you have any questions.

A: Yes! You just have to send me an email letting me know that you're going to make this change to your 2016 Ready to Read grant budget, specifically letting me know which budget item you're taking the money away from to pay for the Focus Institute. Then I'll reply with an "official" email you can save and put in your 2016 Ready to Read file for your records. It's important to document these types of changes to your Ready to Read grant budget in case your library gets audited. Please let me know if you have any more questions.

Learn more about this five-module course and how to enroll for free. If you are interested in the free five-module course, but concerned about the staff time, remember you can use Ready to Read funds to pay staff. You might extend a part-time staff person's hours so they can take the course off the public service desk but on the clock or you might hire a sub to work the public services desk, freeing up staff to take the course.
