<p class="style10"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">The Oregon State Library Board of Trustees met on Friday, December 5, 2014 at the Oregon State Library. The Board heard the appeal of staff decisions for Ready to Read grant
awards, conducted a post-transaction review of agency head financial transactions, elected members to the Oregon Talking Book and Braille Library Advisory Council and the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) Advisory Council, and reviewed the quarterly
board survey from the Governor's Office. The Board also approved the proposal to transition the Answerland virtual reference service from Multnomah County Library to the Oregon State Library. The next meeting of the State Library Board will be on Friday, February
13th at the Oregon State Library in Salem. </span><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

We contacted the Collection Development Coordinator for the National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped (NLS) in Washington D.C. and asked if it was available. The title was not being considered for recording, but, at our urging they
committed to either option the commercial audio or record it. By October, they learned that the commercial recording was not a possibility so they immediately put the book into production. We learned last week that the title is ready for our Multnomah County
patrons on BARD (Braille and Audio Reading Download). </span></span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><br>

we’ll contact NLS and request those books on Talking Books audio for our mutual patrons. We’ll send letters to every one of our patrons who lives in YOUR service area letting them know about your library’s Community Reads event. We will make sure that all
requests for copies are satisfied…we can make as many simultaneous copies as we need to. To give an example: we have 1,400 registered Talking Books users in Multnomah County alone. We will probably make about 80 copies of

About Literature is a national reading and writing contest sponsored by the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress and by Oregon’s equivalent at the State Library. 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-12th 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 Level III entries were due in mid-December of 2014, and Level I and Level II entries by January 15, 2015. In 2014, about 1,040 students in Oregon entered the contest, and 1 in 8 received cash prizes or
bookstore gift certificates. These prizes are made possible through support from the Oregon Reading Association and three divisions of the Oregon Library Association: Oregon Association of School Libraries, Children’s Services Division, and Oregon Young Adult
Network. For more information, please visit the <a href="http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/Pages/youthsvcs/aboutlit.aspx">
website</a> or contact <a href="mailto:jennifer.maurer@state.or.us">Jennifer Maurer</a>, coordinator of Letters About Literature activities in Oregon. Thanks for passing along the information and encouraging participation, including for homeschooling families.
Please note that this is likely the last year the State Library will coordinate the program because of changes within the agency. State Library staff are working to find a new home for Letters About Literature. However, if no organization takes it on, this
could be the program’s last year in Oregon.</span></span><span style="font-size:16.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p><span class="style101"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Since 1995, the Oregon Center for the Book has worked with
<a href="http://www.literary-arts.org/">Literary Arts, Inc.</a> to promote the <a href="http://www.literary-arts.org/what-we-do/oba-home/">
Oregon Book Awards</a> in libraries. During the month before the Awards were presented, the Oregon Center for the Book shipped copies of the finalists’ titles (which are donated by the publishers) to 25 public libraries and encouraged libraries to engage their
patrons in the Oregon Book Awards through local programming.</span></span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><br>
<br>
<span class="style101">In 2015, the Oregon Center for the Book will no longer be a program of the State Library, and thus will not ship finalists’ titles to public libraries. Literary Arts may continue to ship finalists’ titles to some libraries, but will likely
make changes to the program. The State Library will continue to provide a communications link between Literary Arts and the library community regarding the Oregon Book Awards.</span></span><span style="font-size:16.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

reference sets and tools, some Oregon related materials, and a collection of genealogical serials. Lists of items are being prepared and will be posted on the web at a later date.</span><br>
