<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">The 2012 Oregon Summer Reading Certificates are at the printers! Ferol Weyand, the Library Development Assistant, will start shipping them out as soon as they arrive at the State Library. We are hoping to
get them shipped to you by the first week of June. Questions? Contact Ferol at 503-378-2525 or

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">The State Library is in the midst of changing content management systems for our website so I am not sure when I will be able to post the digital copies of the certificates online for you to print on demand.
I will announce when they are available online via this listserv—hopefully the first week of June too!

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><u><span style="font-size:12.0pt">STATISTICS TO COLLECT FOR THIS SUMMER<o:p></o:p></span></u></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Many of you requested that I send out a reminder about what statistics you will be asked to report on the 2012 summer reading statistics and ordering survey so you can be sure you’re collecting the right data
this summer. The 2012 summer reading statistics and ordering survey will be conducted during September 2012 and compiled into the 3<sup>rd</sup>
<a href="http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/Pages/youthsvcs/oregon.srp.certificate.aspx#Oregon_Summer_Reading_Briefs">
Annual Summer Reading Brief</a>. The link to the survey will be emailed out in September on the Ready to Read listserv to ensure that library directors are kept informed and that only one person fills out the survey per library. OLA’s Young Adults Network (OYAN)
will conduct a different survey in the fall that <i>all</i> library staff can take to share their feedback on the 2012 summer reading program and make suggestions for upcoming programs.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Below are the summer reading statistics your library will be asked to report this Fall. Keep in mind that Oregon libraries are at liberty to implement the statewide summer reading program in whatever way
works best for their communities therefore libraries may not track all of these statistics—that’s okay, you don’t have to report something you don’t track. Please let me know if you have any questions.
