[kids-lib] SRP reminder #3: Order sweepstakes material, print certificates, order free summer lunch bookmarks, and more!

[Katie Anderson]

Summer reading is almost over! Don't forget...



*         Contact Kathy Griffin (KGriffin at tiaa.org<mailto:KGriffin at tiaa.org>) to order more On Your Mark, Get Set... SAVE! materials for the summer reading sweepstakes<http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/Pages/youthsvcs/summerreading/sweepstakes.aspx>. A partnership with the Oregon College Savings Plan, Oregon State Library, and Oregon Library Association's Children's Services Division (CSD) and Oregon Young Adult Network (OYAN).

o   4,765 children and teens have entered the summer reading sweepstakes to date! Last year we had 5,271 entries and in 2014 we had 3,792.



*         Contact Cathy Brock (cathy.brock at state.or.us<mailto:cathy.brock at state.or.us>) to order more free summer lunch bookmarks. Only about 1 in 5 students who eat free or reduced meals during the school year also eat free lunch in the summer. Hunger negatively impacts learning and behavior so please help children and teens find free summer lunch sites<http://www.summerfoodoregon.org/>! A partnership with the Oregon State Library and Oregon Department of Education's Summer Food Service Program.

o   29 public libraries are free food sites and 1 public library is a sponsor and a site-that's 23% of Oregon libraries offering free food to hungry children and teens!



*         Download and print summer reading certificates<http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/Pages/youthsvcs/summerreading/summerreadingcertificates.aspx> from the State Library's webpage. The children, teen, and adults certificates are in full color, and the all-ages certificate is black and white. The children, adult, and all-ages certificates are bilingual. A partnership with the Oregon State Library, CSD, and OYAN.



*         For your readers who are print-disabled, borrowing books in accessible formats is easy.  Fill out an application for service<http://www.oregon.gov/osl/TalkingBooks/Pages/registration.aspx#Applications> for the patron and sign the back page for them.  Once that application is received by the Oregon Talking Book and Braille Library they will handle setting your patron up with plenty of titles in audio or Braille format. Print disabilities include, but are not limited to vision impairment, blindness, physical disabilities, or learning disabilities.

o   42 children and teens are signed up for the Oregon Talking Book and Braille summer reading program!


*         Watch AM Northwest! KATU is promoting summer reading<http://katu.com/station/station-events/on-your-mark-get-setsave> at public libraries and On Your Mark, Get Set... SAVE! with four AM Northwest spots, lots of commercials, and a summer reading webpage. Sponsored by the Oregon College Savings Plan, and in partnership with the State Library, CSD, and OYAN.

o   Watch Michael Parker from the Oregon College Savings Plan and me<http://katu.com/amnw/lifestyle-health/oregon-college-savings-plan-06-06-2016> on AM Northwest!

o   Watch Michelle Loh<http://katu.com/amnw/lifestyle-health/oregon-college-savings-plan-summer-reading-program>, youth services librarian at Beaverton City Library, on AM Northwest!

o   Watch the summer reading promo<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PB1o0luQ4Jw> that's been airing this summer on KATU


*         Oregon libraries that serve fewer than 10,000 people have already booked one free summer reading performer to promote summer reading and Save for College Save the Day. That's 51% of Oregon public libraries! Sponsored by the Oregon College Savings Plan, and in partnership with the State Library, CSD, and OYAN.


Please let me know if you have any questions.

I hope you enjoy the last days of summer!
