<b>HOW TO VOTE:</b> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please send an email with the subject heading “Oregon Summer Reading Certificate” to Katie Anderson (<a href="mailto:katie.anderson@state.or.us">katie.anderson@state.or.us</a>) by the end of the day
<strong><span style="color:red">March 22, 2011</span></strong>. The body of your email should include the number and title of one children’s mock-up and one teen mock-up you would like printed and made available this summer.
<br>
<br>
The winning certificates will be announced at the end of March via an email sent out on the kids-lib, OYAN, and OASL listservs. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The winning certificates will be available in English and Spanish to download and print from this website. If you want hard copies, please read the following for details:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>PUBLIC LIBRARIES:</b> You already ordered hard copies of the 2011 summer reading certificates when you completed the 2010 Summer Reading Survey in November. Certificates will be shipped to you at the end of May.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>SCHOOL LIBRARIES:</b> The email announcing the winning certificates will also include link to an online survey for online ordering of hard copies of the certificates. Please start thinking now about how many children's certificates
in English and Spanish and how many teen certificates in English and Spanish you will need so you are prepared when online ordering is available later this month. Remember, these certificates are FREE!
<br>
<br>
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In 2007 the Oregon Department of Education, Oregon State Library, and Oregon Library Association coordinated their efforts to create a joint Oregon Summer Reading Certificate with funding from the Oregon Education Association. The joint
certificate has the national <a href="http://www.cslpreads.org/">Collaborative Summer Library Program</a> artwork on it and is signed by the State Librarian and the State Superintendent of Public Instruction. This effort signifies the commitment of schools
and libraries to the education of Oregon’s youth.<br>
<br>
Thank you to the librarians who designed these certificates. Regardless of which certificates win, you all did a wonderful job.
