Aletha Bonebrake, and Sue Burkholder. Also participating in the Committee were OSL managers and a representative from each program team. The Board also heard a report from Katie Anderson, Youth Services Consultant, on the recently completed Reading for Healthy

Oregon State Library is pleased to announce our first lecture for our 2012 Fall Lecture series. Our next lecture is Wednesday, September 5, in Room 103 from 12:00-1:00 and features Tracy Hill, coordinator for the
<a href="http://www.mcloughlinhouse.org/">McLoughlin Memorial Association</a>. Her presentation is entitled, “Oregon’s Holy Rollers: Murder and Madness in Oregon’s Love Cult”. This is the story of cult leader Franz Edmund Creffield and is a tale of religion,
the power of a charismatic leader, lust, scandal, insanity, devotion, murder and suicide. It’s a very odd, interesting story, and one that is now largely forgotten. In 1903, Edmund Creffield lured most of Corvallis's Salvation Army soldiers to his own church,
the Church of the Bride of Christ. Locally, they were known as the Holy Rollers cult. Most of Creffield's followers were women, and not just any women, but women who were the wives and daughters of respected men, women of high character and standing. The trouble
began as both the religious and sexual mores of the time were severely challenged and a community reacted swiftly and negatively. For the past 10 years, Tracy has been the Coordinator for the McLoughlin Memorial Association, working at the Dr. John McLoughlin
House museum in Oregon City, leading tours and coordinating special events. Please join us on September 5 as we bring open our Fall Lecture series.</span><span style="font-size:9.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

is a K12 website with three main features: information literacy resources; access to the statewide databases for Oregon K12 students and educators; and Citation Maker, a citation generator in MLA and APA formats. The website is a project of the
<a href="http://oasl.memberclicks.net/">Oregon Association of School Libraries</a> in partnership with the Oregon State Library. You may recall that because of intermittent access issues that could not be resolved, and on the advice of outside experts, last
fall we pulled down OSLIS and coordinated efforts to rebuild the site. For about the last nine months, OSLIS Lite was up instead, but it could only provide access to some OSLIS resources, not all of them. After much work and testing, the rebuilt version of
OSLIS went live in mid-July. Since going live, the site has been stable and access has been constant. Note that the rebuilt OSLIS is the same as the former fuller site except that it no longer has the My Stuff folder. That was a virtual space to store work
related to a current research project, and we did not pay to rebuild the feature because there are now many cloud applications, like Google docs, that serve the same purpose and do even more. If you run into any problems on the rebuilt site, please report
them. Use the feedback link found in the header on any OSLIS page, or send an email to
<a href="mailto:jennifer.maurer@state.or.us">Jen Maurer</a>, the School Library Consultant at OSL. Have questions? Please ask.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

Oswego Reads</span></em></a></span><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""> is an annual community reading program sponsored by the
<a href="http://www.ci.oswego.or.us/library">Lake Oswego Public Library</a> with the goal of strengthening civic pride, fostering thoughtful discussion, and bringing the community together through the common bond of reading a selected book. About 30 special
events are offered during the month of February to extend readers’ experience with and appreciation of the book, which is announced in January. “This year’s cumulative attendance reached over 10,000,” noted LOPL’s Coordinator of Volunteers and Programs, Cyndie
Glazer. <em><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Lake Oswego Reads</span></em>, which began in 2007, has expanded every year and has become such an integral part of Lake Oswego culture that it was recognized nationally. Earlier this summer, the program
won an Outstanding Achievement Award from the U.S. Conference of Mayors City Livability Award committee. The
<a href="http://usmayors.org/citylivabilityawards/">City Livability program</a> has existed for over 30 years and “honors mayors and their city government for developing programs that enhance the quality of life in urban areas.” About the award, Library Director
Bill Baars stated, “I am thrilled that our community and our library have received this prestigious national recognition for the
<em><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Lake Oswego Reads</span></em> program. I am continually astounded that this seed of an idea has blossomed into this incredible garden of activity.” For more information about
