During the strategic planning meeting, the Board discussed the 2013-15 Governor's Balanced Budget (Governor's Recommended Budget) and the State Library reorganization. At the meeting on Friday, the Board approved appeals from Wilsonville Public Library and
Lake County Libraries, who were not on the list to be awarded LSTA grants due to a missed deadline. Both libraries have been approved to receive 2012-13 LSTA grants.

<p><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Letters About Literature is a national reading and writing contest sponsored by the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress. Students write letters to an author explaining how that author's
book changed their way of thinking about the world or themselves. There are three competition levels: Level I for 4th-6th graders, Level II for 7th-8th graders, and Level III for 9th-10th graders. Oregon's three winners -- one from each competition level --
will go on to compete nationally. <a href="http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/Pages/youthsvcs/aboutlit.aspx">
Entry forms and guidelines</a> are available online. All entries must be postmarked January 11, 2013. In 2012 over 800 students in Oregon entered the contest, and 1 in 11 of them received cash prizes or bookstore gift certificates. These prizes are made possible
through support from the Oregon Reading Association, Oregon Association of School Libraries, and the Oregon Library Association's Children’s Services Division and Young Adult network. Please visit the
<a href="http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/Pages/youthsvcs/aboutlit.aspx">website</a> for more information or contact
