<p class="p1">Now might be time to plan out how you are going to promote Oregon's only student selected book award directed at 9-18 year olds. This is the fourth year of the ORCA (Oregon Reader's Choice Award) and it is free for all students, schools, and libraries
to participate. There are 3 divisions (Upper Elementary, Middle School, and High School) and you get to choose which grades/students would best fit in those criteria. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="p1">You can get information about the books and promotional materials at the ORCA homepage<br>
<a href="http://www.olaweb.org/orca">http://www.olaweb.org/orca</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="p2">Plus, students and adults can post comments, as well as get information and promotional materials, at the ORCA blog<br>
<a href="http://oregonreaderschoiceaward.wordpress.com">http://oregonreaderschoiceaward.wordpress.com</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="p1">Students have up through the end of March to read at least 2 books in any one division in order to vote. It's a great way to encourage students to read, especially to break out of their comfortable base, since the 8 books in each division cover
a wide range of genres. It's also a great way to involve students, since they get to suggest books that will eventually become the official ORCA Nominees.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="p1">You can find Prezis, booktalks, and bookmarks on the websites <a href="http://www.olaweb.org/orca">
http://www.olaweb.org/orca</a>. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="p1">Also, there will be a session at the October 12th OASL Conference to get a hands on experience of how to promote and run the ORCA at your library or school.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="p1">If you know anyone who works at a library, who is not on this listserv, please forward the message on to them.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="p1">If you have any questions, you can send an email to <a href="mailto:orca@olaweb.org">
orca@olaweb.org</a>.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="p1">ORCA is co-sponsored by 3 OLA divisions (CSD, OASL, and OYAN), plus the Oregon Reading Association (ORA) and the Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association (PNBA).<o:p></o:p></p>
