[kids-lib] Oregon Reads 2014 is for children and teens too!

[Katie Anderson]

Hello youth services library staff! I just got a great question that I thought many of you may be interested in knowing the answer:

Q: For the Oregon Reads 2014, are there specific dates for the program?  It there something selected for kids to read?

A1: No, there aren't specific dates-anytime throughout the year 2014.

A2: Yes, there are youth titles! Everyone Out Here Knows is a picture book appropriate for children, The Osage Orange Tree is graphic literature appropriate for teens, and Ask Me is also appropriate for teens-perhaps good material for a poetry slam! Find some resources for planning and implementing Oregon Reads 2014 on the website: http://oregonreads2014.com/.

by William Stafford, edited with an introduction by Kim Stafford

"These are verses gathered from the mountain of Stafford, poems that resound from one generation to another; they are poems of welcome and invitation, poems that expand our field of vision; they are wisdom poems, hard-earned poems, poems in conversation with loss and memory at a personal and global level."
