[R2R-OR] 2016 Ready to Read money is on the way, what's next?

[Katie Anderson]

2016 Ready to Read grants have been distributed!

Those of you who requested a check should receive it in the mail soon-Ferol put them in the mail yesterday afternoon. Those of you who requested electronic deposit should already have your money. Regardless of how you receive your grant funds, a hardcopy mailing of important grant documents has been sent to each library.

What do you need to know now?

  *   This money must be spent January 1-December 31, 2016
  *   This money must be spent on only early literacy activities for children 0-6 years old and/or summer reading programs for youth 0-14 years old
  *   You are required to report how your spent this money and the results of your  project at the end of the year (see below for details)
  *   You can change your project at any time, but you must get permission from me first (katie.anderson at state.or.us<mailto:katie.anderson at state.or.us>)-it's easy so don't hesitate to do it

What do you do next?

  *   Plan and implement your grant-funded project
  *   Track how you spend grant funds as you spend them
  *   Count the number of people participating in your project as you implement it-be sure to look at the attached working copy of the report form because it's different than the past two years, it's back to the easier/old way:)
  *   Plan how you are going to evaluate your project
  *   Evaluate your project

How do you do these things?

  *   Use your own resources, look at what other libraries are doing<http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/youthsvcs/ReadingGrantAfter2015/2016R2R-ProjectDescriptions.pdf>, the summer reading manual<http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/Pages/youthsvcs/summerreading/summerreadingmanuals.aspx>, and/or the State Library's early literacy webpage<http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/Pages/youthsvcs/rfhf.home.aspx> to plan and implement your project
  *   Use the attached working-copy of the 2016 report form to track your spending and record the number of people participating in your project as you implement it
  *   Use the online evaluation toolkit<http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/Pages/youthsvcs/aboutready.aspx#Project_Descriptions> to evaluate your project
  *   Read these grant management tips<http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/youthsvcs/ReadingGrantAfter2015/GrantManagementTips.pdf> and try doing some of them so you're have everything you need when you have to write your report at the end of the year
  *   Contact Katie<mailto:katie.anderson at state.or.us> whenever you need help or have questions

What deadlines do you put on your calendar?

  *   October 7, 2016: The report form will be available
  *   December 1, 2016: Your complete report is due at the State Library
  *   December 31, 2016: All grant funds must be spent, you can't carryover money into 2017

Please contact me if you have any questions about or need help with your Ready to Read grant.

Thanks,
Katie
