<p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center"><a href="http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/Pages/youthsvcs/oregon.srp.certificate.aspx#Oregon_Summer_Reading_Briefs">http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/Pages/youthsvcs/oregon.srp.certificate.aspx#Oregon_Summer_Reading_Briefs</a><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The SRP brief is a compilation of data that Oregon public libraries reported this September via the Summer Reading Statistics and Ordering Survey. The SRP brief provides a picture of summer reading participation in Oregon. On the summer
reading webpage you will find the SRP brief in both <a href="http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/youthsvcs/srp.certificates/OSLsrpBrief2013-Final.pdf">
a pdf</a> and <a href="http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/youthsvcs/srp.certificates/OSLsrpBrief2013-Final.docx">
word.docx</a> format. Libraries are encouraged to use the word.docx as a template to create their own summer reading brief to share their statistics with their library board, city council, commissioners, and other library stake holders.

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Based on requests from several libraries, the State Library also published the
<a href="http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/youthsvcs/srp.certificates/2013SRPstatisticsAndOrders.xls">
Summer Reading Statistics Spreadsheet</a>. This allows you to compare participation in summer reading at your library to similar libraries in Oregon. In addition, I included the population of children 0-14 years old from the 2013-2014 Ready to Read Grant
list and calculated the % of those children who signed-up and finished so you can get a better idea of the reach your program has in your community. Click on the tabs at the bottom of this spreadsheet to learn how many 2014 SRP certificates, 2014 SRP sweepstakes
materials, and 2015 SRP manuals your library ordered. <o:p></o:p></p>
