<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">In past years, we've had minimal connection to our local OBOB teams, mostly just providing the books for check-out. This year, a local volunteer approached me with some ideas she had for raising awareness and
community support. We had a meeting with the various school coordinators in our district (some are the school librarians, others are parent-volunteers) last Spring to ask how we could help. Some of our schools have been involved for a number of years (and
have been doing a GREAT job at it!) while others are newer to the game and in need of more support. The main thing most of them asked for was MORE BOOKS!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">I was able to use some donation money to purchase more circulating copies as well as a few that we can give away. We have a specific "OBOB" shelf where everything currently available is displayed, and we have
a few of each title that are part of a "Lucky Day" collection. (With so many other cities in our Network participating in OBOB, the items are in high demand and in the past, the shelf was often empty because everything was out on hold. With "Lucky Day" books,
there is a shorter loan period - 14 days instead of 28 days - and no holds are allowed, you have to visit the owning library to pick up the book; it's your lucky day!!)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">The school representatives felt strongly that they didn't want a lot of unauthorized "practice rounds" taking place, so I'm just having "Reader's Circle" for-fun book discussion groups. We will have 4 monthly
meetings, two for 3rd to 5th Division, and two for 6th to 8th Division (September thru December) and discuss 2 titles at each meeting. We plan on having some kind of book-related activity, serve a snack, and then we'll raffle off the give-away books. The
community volunteer is also working independently on some fundraisers to purchase more giveaway books for the schools that need them.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText">At the Cottage Grove Public Library we start the excitement for OBOB in the summer. We book talk two of the titles each week at free summer lunch spots and offer extra summer reading incentives to kids who read OBOB titles and submit
a short book review. This is the first summer that we have tried this, but Iąd say it was a success. The titles we book talked checked out more than those we didnąt, even though we had a special OBOB book display in our library all summer that featured all
of the titles.<o:p></o:p></p>
