receiving, please review the attached list of orders to find
out.<BR><BR>Currently, State Library staff are working to repackage the books
from the boxes they arrived in into boxes of individual library orders.
In addition, each public library, branch library, and book mobile will be
receiving one copy each of <SPAN style="FONT-STYLE: italic">Apples to
Oregon</SPAN> and <SPAN style="FONT-STYLE: italic">Bat 6</SPAN> thanks to a
generous grant from the Starseed Foundation. The juvenile books will be
included with your order of <SPAN style="FONT-STYLE: italic">Stubborn
Twig</SPAN>. Staff at the State Library will be putting bookplates
signed by Deborah Hopkinson/Virginia Euwer Wolff, and recognizing the Starseed
Foundation into each copy of the juvenile books. Deborah and Virginia
were kind enough to sign each bookplate by hand, this is truly generous of
them!<BR><BR>Thank you all for your enthusiasm for Oregon Reads 2009.
This is going to be a wonderful statewide event!<BR><BR>
