logs. Our communities are all different, and part of providing exceptional
library service is understanding those difference and working with our
communities to find a summer reading log and certificate that will encourage
reading and help our young customers feel successful.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

class=791582115-28052010>This summer I printed 2,500 reading logs, which I
realize isn't a big number for some libraries. This would cost me $150 from
Upstart. I frankly don't care about the loss of revenue for Upstart. They are a
business, and they make a lot of money. They can continue making money off
t-shirts and posters, and I do appreciate the wonderful art work (for
kids). My ever-shrinking summer reading budget is significantly impacted
by spending $150 on reading logs. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

to run upstairs and make more copies. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

the issue of copyright restrictions on the CSLP graphics was raised, I have been
mulling over how to proceed. I do not see a way we will be able to create the
Summer Reading hand-outs we need and comply with the copyright requirements.
Please add me to the growing list of Oregon librarians who feel the copyright
restrictions create an untenable situation for libraries. Libraries do not all
have the same summer reading programs, which means some of Highsmith’s
products, such as reading logs and certificates, will not work for us. I am
grateful to CSLP for the great graphics which we would not otherwise have, and
am pleased to have the opportunity to buy ready-made incentive items from
Highsmith, but it is more important that we have the freedom to design our own
programs. </SPAN></P>

things that your state representative (Katie Anderson)and Summer Reading Chair
need to know when bring our concerns to the national CSLP conference. While
there was not much discussion this year at the meeting regarding copyright
issues and reading logs, perhaps that was because many of the State
representatives were unaware of how many libraries prefer to create their own
reading logs and/or certificates using the CSLP artwork. This definitely sounds
like something that will be brought for discussion by your Oregon
representatives at this next year’s meeting and is exactly the kind of feedback
we need to have for representing Oregon at the CSLP national meetings. The past
years that I have attended, Oregon representatives have successfully lobbied for
the themes, slogans, and other items of interest that Oregon librarians have
expressed as being their top concerns so please know that your voices are being
heard and that your state representative (Katie Anderson) and Summer Reading
Chair are definitely working hard to make sure that Oregon is well represented.
