INFORMATION:</P>
<P align=left><SPAN class=406385918-13052008>This is the <SPAN
class=030093317-25062009>third</SPAN></SPAN> year the Oregon Department
of Education, Oregon State Library, and Oregon Library Association have
coordinated their efforts to provide a joint Oregon Summer Reading Certificate
with funding from the Oregon Education Association. This effort signifies the
commitment of schools and libraries to the education of Oregon's youth.</P>
<P align=left>In the past, the Oregon Department of Education (ODE) awarded
Summer Reading Certificates for students who read ten books over the summer.
The certificates were distributed via education service districts, school
librarians, and public libraries. Nothing has changed about this program,
except for the certificate. The certificate now has the national Collaborative
Summer Library Program artwork on it and is signed by the State Librarian, Jim
Scheppke, and the State Superintendent of Public Instruction, Susan Castillo.
</P>
<P align=left>Public libraries will award Oregon Summer Reading Certificates
to children and <SPAN class=030093317-25062009>teens</SPAN>
who <SPAN class=843484019-09052008>complete their <SPAN
class=406385918-13052008>library </SPAN>summer reading program or who
</SPAN>provide a list of the ten books they read over the summer. <SPAN
class=843484019-09052008>Libraries </SPAN>are not required to keep records of
the names of participating children nor the lists of books they read.</P>
<P align=left>Educators may request the Oregon Department of Education to send
certificates for their classroom or school. Students may also receive
certificates by mailing their list of completed books signed by a parent,
guardian, or teacher and including a return address to Stephanie Parks, Oregon
Department of Education, 255 Capitol St. NE, Salem, OR 97310.</P>
