[OYAN] Ready to Read advocacy template

[Katie Anderson]

Hello OYAN members!

At the January meeting we discussed the concern about funding for the Ready to Read Grant.  As you remember, the State Librarian recommends that libraries talk with their key stakeholders and Legislators.  It will be extremely helpful if Legislators have heard about your concerns around Ready to Read from you directly.

I distributed a handout that I said I would email on this listserv.  The attached 'advocacy-handout-template.doc' is for you to edit by plugging in your county's statistics following the links provided in the template.  As I said in the meeting, please edit this however you want.  This is just a template for those of you who don't have time to create your own handout from scratch.  This handout can be shared with local key stakeholders and your Legislators to educate them about the value of early literacy and summer reading, and how the library can support those efforts.

Please let me know if you have any questions.  Those of you who aren't able to access the attachment can email me and I send it to you directly.

Thank you,
Katie
