and in most cases you can participate whenever works best for your schedule. There are a few courses you may be particularly interested in given Oregon’s current education landscape and the role public libraries can play to support it.

<p class="MsoNormal">The Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC) encourages participants to sign up for Summer 2014 ALSC online courses. Registration is open for all courses. Classes begin

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Graphic novels are one of the best tools for motivating kids to read, and have become an essential component of many youth library collections. Learn
about the emerging trends in this genre, resources available to make quality selections, evaluating graphic novels for young patrons, and developing or building a collection. In addition to book selection, participants will gain the skills needed to successfully
market the collection and provide programming. Participants will come away from this course excited about using graphic novels in their library, and equipped with the tools needed to provide reader’s advisory and fun children’s programs.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Featured in this course will be live chats with popular graphic novel author/illustrators. Chats are optional, but provide students with a rare, inside
