The OYAN Fall Workshop brings a focus on building stronger, more useful
non-fiction collections, responding both to the interests of teen
readers and the changing needs driven by the adoption of Common Core in
the schools. At this FREE workshop, presenters will discuss best

excellent non-fiction graphic novels and narrative non-fiction, and
discuss the impacts and realities of Common Core adoption. Presenters
include:
·		 Jen Maurer, School Library Consultant, Oregon State
Library - The Low-Down on the Common Core and How Non-Fiction Selectors
Should Respond
·		 Ruth Allen, Multnomah County Library - Assessing
Non-Fiction Texts for Young Adults
