[PL-Directors] Announcing the 2012 Oregon Summer Reading Brief

Announcing the 2012 Oregon Summer Reading Brief<http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/Pages/youthsvcs/oregon.srp.certificate.aspx#Oregon_Summer_Reading_Briefs>

The 2012 Oregon Summer Reading Brief has just been published!  The SRP brief is a compilation of data that Oregon public libraries reported this September via the Summer Reading Statistics and Ordering Survey.  The SRP brief provides a picture of summer reading participation in Oregon.

Based on requests from several libraries, the State Library is now publishing the Summer Reading Statistics Spreadsheet.  This allows you to compare participation in summer reading at your library to similar libraries in Oregon.  In addition, I included the population of children 0-14 years old from the 2012-2013 Ready to Read Grant list and calculated the % of those children who signed-up and finished so you can get a better idea of the reach your program has in your community.

This year I have also added two additional pages to the 2012 Summer Reading Statistics Spreadsheet because libraries cannot print the statistics and orders they submit via the survey.

*         To view the order your library placed for summer reading certificates, sweepstakes materials, and summer reading manuals open the 2012 Oregon Summer Reading Statistics Spreadsheet by clicking on 'excel.xls' and clicking on the 'Orders Placed for future SRP'  tab along the bottom of the page.

*         To view information about how you and other libraries run summer reading programs open the 2012 Oregon Summer Reading Statistics Spreadsheet by clicking on 'excel.xls' and clicking on the '2012 SRP Details' tab along the bottom of the page.

Attached is a template you may use to create a summer reading brief specific to your library's summer reading statistics and personal success stories. Your library's summer reading brief may be useful for your library board, city council, board of commissioners, and other key stakeholders in your community.

Thank you,
Katie Anderson
