In Washington County, we are on our second (chime in, colleagues, if I have that wrong) of collaborative purchasing for the county at the Guadalajara Book Fair. Libraries across the county chipped into a pot and two staff from two different libraries went to purchase on behalf of the rest of the Cooperative. It was so successful as a county that we in Hillsboro are investing again, on our own, to send a staff person to supplement the collaborative purchasing -- it is very doable with the scholarships, as you mentioned.<br>

Hi all,<br>
<br>
Ruth's description of the CA Guadalajara-book-buying consortium caught my imagination! (In brief: that some CA libraries formed a collaborative to send delegates to the Guadalajara Book Fair (aka the FIL) to buy materials and gather information on behalf of the greater group.) *Have* any Oregon libraries collaborated that way already? If not, I think it could be a worthwhile conversation to start. (I know that this thread caught the interest of some of the Clackamas LINCC directors...) Maybe we could pull it off in the future. Like Barratt, I might also be able to help consult, coordinate or strategize.<br>
<br>
I was fortunate when working for Multnomah as a bilingual youth librarian to attend the Guadalajara Book Fair a few times to select juvenile Spanish-language materials. Although it's true that some material, even there, is in translation (my favorites are the translations from the French<br>
-- French picture books can be so surreal and hilarious!), we typically found lots of terrific, Spanish-original, mostly Latino material that we simply couldn't get through any publishers or distributors state-side. It really enriched MCL's collection with materials reflecting and honoring the origins of many in our service population.<br>
<br>
I know that sending delegates to the FIL is simply outside budget likelihood for many libraries, but I think a combination of capitalizing on the scholarships <<a href="http://www.ala.org/offices/iro/awardsactivities/guadalajarabook" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.ala.org/offices/iro/awardsactivities/guadalajarabook</a>> available and some collaborative strategizing might really be do-able. (And on the simplest end, even if we just organized for FIL attendees to share lists of the best titles and other resources they found, it could be helpful, since at least some of the titles can be bought in the US. As Ruth said, "Not everyone could afford to send someone to Guadalajara, but every library could participate, spend what they determined they could afford, and learn and be helped in the process.") And since some OR libraries do sometimes send staff to the FIL, perhaps there is already some momentum to build upon?<br>
<br>

<br>
p.s. I haven't chimed in for quite a while, so for background: I was with Multnomah (MCL) for 15 years as a Bilingual Youth Librarian, including coordinating a bilingual family literacy grant for them for a couple years; and am delighted to be starting in October as the brand-new Outreach Librarian for Wilsonville. I also do some library consulting and work as a family and early literacy trainer.<br>

<br>
Ditto what Stephanie said. WCCLS sent two librarians last year and have budgeted to send two or three (depends upon how much purchasing they need to do) this year.<br>
We paid for what the scholarship didn't cover. Member libraries identified the amount to spend from their book budgets and types of materials (children's, adult, etc). The two librarians worked their tails off to spend the funds! This was not a vacation in Guadalajara! In the end, all libraries in WCCLS benefited by shared access to LOTS of new materials.<br>
<br>
If you want specifics please contact Stephanie Lind or Mart?n Blasco, WCCLS Outreach services for details. <a href="tel:503-681-5090" value="+15036815090">503-681-5090</a> or <a href="tel:503-681-5093" value="+15036815093">503-681-5093</a>.<br>
<br>
Perhaps it's possible that several independent libraries could do the same thing - band together, identify what and how much to spend for each, and select a representative to go for you. Think outside the box!<br>

In Washington County, we are on our second (chime in, colleagues, if I have that wrong) of collaborative purchasing for the county at the Guadalajara Book Fair. Libraries across the county chipped into a pot and two staff from two different libraries went to purchase on behalf of the rest of the Cooperative. It was so successful as a county that we in Hillsboro are investing again, on our own, to send a staff person to supplement the collaborative purchasing -- it is very doable with the scholarships, as you mentioned.<br>

Hi all,<br>
<br>
Ruth's description of the CA Guadalajara-book-buying consortium caught my imagination! (In brief: that some CA libraries formed a collaborative to send delegates to the Guadalajara Book Fair (aka the FIL) to buy materials and gather information on behalf of the greater group.) *Have* any Oregon libraries collaborated that way already? If not, I think it could be a worthwhile conversation to start. (I know that this thread caught the interest of some of the Clackamas LINCC directors...) Maybe we could pull it off in the future. Like Barratt, I might also be able to help consult, coordinate or strategize.<br>
<br>
I was fortunate when working for Multnomah as a bilingual youth librarian to attend the Guadalajara Book Fair a few times to select juvenile Spanish-language materials. Although it's true that some material, even there, is in translation (my favorites are the translations from the French<br>
-- French picture books can be so surreal and hilarious!), we typically found lots of terrific, Spanish-original, mostly Latino material that we simply couldn't get through any publishers or distributors state-side. It really enriched MCL's collection with materials reflecting and honoring the origins of many in our service population.<br>
<br>
I know that sending delegates to the FIL is simply outside budget likelihood for many libraries, but I think a combination of capitalizing on the scholarships <<a href="http://www.ala.org/offices/iro/awardsactivities/guadalajarabook" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.ala.org/offices/iro/awardsactivities/guadalajarabook</a>> available and some collaborative strategizing might really be do-able. (And on the simplest end, even if we just organized for FIL attendees to share lists of the best titles and other resources they found, it could be helpful, since at least some of the titles can be bought in the US. As Ruth said, "Not everyone could afford to send someone to Guadalajara, but every library could participate, spend what they determined they could afford, and learn and be helped in the process.") And since some OR libraries do sometimes send staff to the FIL, perhaps there is already some momentum to build upon?<br>
<br>
Deborah Gitlitz<br>
<br>
p.s. I haven't chimed in for quite a while, so for background: I was with Multnomah (MCL) for 15 years as a Bilingual Youth Librarian, including coordinating a bilingual family literacy grant for them for a couple years; and am delighted to be starting in October as the brand-new Outreach Librarian for Wilsonville. I also do some library consulting and work as a family and early literacy trainer.<br>

This is a reminder that you are invited to an Oregon Archives Month Event this Saturday! Find details below.<br>
<br>
History: Feed Your Head<br>
<br>
Portland may be a foodie town, but it isn't always food that feeds our hunger. If your head is hungry for some knowledge, let us fill it with Portland history! Do you have a craving to know where you can find maps of the city from the 1890s? Are you hankering to learn about the history of Portland's Japantown? Do you have an appetite for local oral histories? Or does a sampling of strange, old medical tools interest you?<br>
<br>
We have that and more waiting for you as we kick off Oregon Archives Month with a smorgasbord of Portland-area archives. Join us on Saturday, October 3rd from 11 AM to 3 PM at the Portland Archives and Records Center. Take a behind the scenes tour of the City's archives and see history up close and personal.<br>
<br>
Talk with local area archivists representing 11 different archives:<br>
City of Portland<br>
Gay and Lesbian Archives of the Pacific Northwest<br>
Lewis & Clark College<br>
Mazamas<br>
Metro<br>
Multnomah County<br>
Oregon Health & Science University<br>
Oregon Historical Society<br>
Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education<br>
Oregon Nikkei Legacy Center<br>
Portland State University<br>
PSU's Architecture, Engineering and Construction<br>
<br>
Come hungry and feed your head!<br>
<br>
Saturday October 3rd<br>
11:00 AM to 3:00 PM<br>
Portland Archives & Records Center<br>
1800 SW 6th Ave, Suite 550<br>
Free and open to the public<br>

Hello everyone,<br>
<br>
<br>
What are our requirements for children under 18 who apply for a library card? Must their parents sign the application and provide ID? Would you accept a student with a school ID and not a parent signature? At what age do you allow student instead of parent?<br>
<br>
<br>
Do you require a personal reference name and phone number?<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>

I'm looking forward to responses here. We require a parent/guardian be present unless they are 13 or older and have a local high school ID - we have a partnership with the high school for these students. If they're a student, they still need to bring in a signed application, but their parent/guardian doesn't have to be present. We've been considering other, less onerous alternatives.<br>
<br>
We currently require a personal reference for all cards, but have been seriously considering doing away with this requirement entirely (it's only been successfully used once to retrieve materials in the past decade).<br>

Hello everyone,<br>
<br>
What are our requirements for children under 18 who apply for a library card? Must their parents sign the application and provide ID? Would you accept a student with a school ID and not a parent signature? At what age do you allow student instead of parent?<br>
<br>
Do you require a personal reference name and phone number?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

I'm looking forward to responses here. We require a parent/guardian be present unless they are 13 or older and have a local high school ID - we have a partnership with the high school for these students. If they're a student, they still need to bring in a signed application, but their parent/guardian doesn't have to be present. We've been considering other, less onerous alternatives.<br>
<br>
We currently require a personal reference for all cards, but have been seriously considering doing away with this requirement entirely (it's only been successfully used once to retrieve materials in the past decade).<br>

Hi everyone,<br>
<br>
(TL;DR version: Send me an e-mail if you'd like CSD to give you some money to go to the Guadalajara Book Fair and buy a bunch of kids' books for Oregon libraries.)<br>
<br>
I'm so glad to hear that the collaborative purchasing model worked so well for WCCLS! I really would love to see something similar organized at the statewide level to support rural libraries who don't have the resources to pull this kind of project together on their own.<br>
<br>
While scholarships help, they aren't a panacea. Money isn't the only barrier small, rural libraries face. Some other things staff have to consider when assessing whether or not they can participate in these kinds of professional development opportunities:<br>
<br>
1. Travel costs are higher and travel times longer for those of us who don't live near a major airport, so people living outside the Portland Metro area often need additional scholarship funds to cover extra plane flights, gas money, train or bus tickets, long-term parking, etc.<br>
<br>
2. Smaller libraries usually have fewer employees. This means it's a bigger burden on the library for someone to be gone for a long period of time and there's less staff time available to plan such a big undertaking--especially if multiple libraries are involved.<br>
<br>
3. Many small libraries lack staff members with expertise in services to the Latin@ community, which means they have to spend additional staff time researching for the trip and, in some cases, might struggle to select appropriate materials for their collections.<br>
<br>
If we (meaning members of Oregon's library community) want to strengthen library services to Spanish-speaking communities throughout the state, we need to acknowledge the fact that geographic and economic barriers make it challenging for some libraries to provide or improve those services. Asking the institutions with the fewest resources to "do more" won't solve an institutional problem affecting Oregon's rural library staff and our Latin@ communities.<br>
<br>
Organizing a statewide effort to help get quality Spanish books into ALL of Oregon's libraries is something we can do. Providing training opportunities like the Mock Belpre workshop (and making virtual attendance possible) is something we can do. Providing scholarships to attend a conference or buy a webcam is something we can do.<br>
<br>
If I had the resources to go to FIL, I'd volunteer! Unfortunately, I'm already up to my eyeballs in CSD responsibilities and can't add another thing to my professional development plate. As CSD Chair, though, I want to "put my money where my mouth is" and reiterate that a) CSD can provide a scholarship to cover some of the registration/travel costs and b) I'll help with the behind-the-scenes organization if someone is willing to go and purchase books for small libraries at FIL.<br>
<br>
>From what WCCLS librarians have said about their experience, it sounds totally doable! We just need a volunteer or two to actually DO it. Let me know if you can help us out!<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Barratt<br>

<br>
Ditto what Stephanie said. WCCLS sent two librarians last year and have budgeted to send two or three (depends upon how much purchasing they need to do) this year.<br>
We paid for what the scholarship didn't cover. Member libraries identified the amount to spend from their book budgets and types of materials (children's, adult, etc). The two librarians worked their tails off to spend the funds! This was not a vacation in Guadalajara! In the end, all libraries in WCCLS benefited by shared access to LOTS of new materials.<br>
<br>
If you want specifics please contact Stephanie Lind or Mart?n Blasco, WCCLS Outreach services for details. 503-681-5090 or 503-681-5093.<br>
<br>
Perhaps it's possible that several independent libraries could do the same thing - band together, identify what and how much to spend for each, and select a representative to go for you. Think outside the box!<br>

In Washington County, we are on our second (chime in, colleagues, if I have that wrong) of collaborative purchasing for the county at the Guadalajara Book Fair. Libraries across the county chipped into a pot and two staff from two different libraries went to purchase on behalf of the rest of the Cooperative. It was so successful as a county that we in Hillsboro are investing again, on our own, to send a staff person to supplement the collaborative purchasing -- it is very doable with the scholarships, as you mentioned.<br>

Hi all,<br>
<br>
Ruth's description of the CA Guadalajara-book-buying consortium caught my imagination! (In brief: that some CA libraries formed a collaborative to send delegates to the Guadalajara Book Fair (aka the FIL) to buy materials and gather information on behalf of the greater group.) *Have* any Oregon libraries collaborated that way already? If not, I think it could be a worthwhile conversation to start. (I know that this thread caught the interest of some of the Clackamas LINCC directors...) Maybe we could pull it off in the future. Like Barratt, I might also be able to help consult, coordinate or strategize.<br>
<br>
I was fortunate when working for Multnomah as a bilingual youth librarian to attend the Guadalajara Book Fair a few times to select juvenile Spanish-language materials. Although it's true that some material, even there, is in translation (my favorites are the translations from the French<br>
-- French picture books can be so surreal and hilarious!), we typically found lots of terrific, Spanish-original, mostly Latino material that we simply couldn't get through any publishers or distributors state-side. It really enriched MCL's collection with materials reflecting and honoring the origins of many in our service population.<br>
<br>
I know that sending delegates to the FIL is simply outside budget likelihood for many libraries, but I think a combination of capitalizing on the scholarships <<a href="http://www.ala.org/offices/iro/awardsactivities/guadalajarabook" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.ala.org/offices/iro/awardsactivities/guadalajarabook</a>> available and some collaborative strategizing might really be do-able. (And on the simplest end, even if we just organized for FIL attendees to share lists of the best titles and other resources they found, it could be helpful, since at least some of the titles can be bought in the US. As Ruth said, "Not everyone could afford to send someone to Guadalajara, but every library could participate, spend what they determined they could afford, and learn and be helped in the process.") And since some OR libraries do sometimes send staff to the FIL, perhaps there is already some momentum to build upon?<br>
<br>

<br>
p.s. I haven't chimed in for quite a while, so for background: I was with Multnomah (MCL) for 15 years as a Bilingual Youth Librarian, including coordinating a bilingual family literacy grant for them for a couple years; and am delighted to be starting in October as the brand-new Outreach Librarian for Wilsonville. I also do some library consulting and work as a family and early literacy trainer.<br>

Hi Everyone:<br>
<br>
I agree with Barratt. We have to make an effort to help small libraries better the services provided to their community.<br>
However, I think that for those library consortiums or cooperatives which already are buying books for several libraries is going to be difficult to add more orders from other libraries in the state. For those libraries which can afford to send attendees to the fair for acquiring titles for some or many small libraries, it will mean that the book fair attendees will need more hours a day to being able to get what is needed. Even consortiums or cooperative have restricted budgets to pay for the days librarians need in the fair.<br>
I would propose that libraries which can afford to send somebody to the FIL, even those libraries grouped as consortiums or cooperative/systems identify one small library which needs Spanish or bilingual titles and offer to help with buying titles. In this manner, it wouldn't be too much work for the attendees and it would facilitate the acquisition of material.<br>
As Barrat also mentioned, the Mock Pura Belpr? Award, can help this process through informative presentations, learning about how to select quality books that attend the needs of the Latino/Spanish speaking community and, during break, networking.<br>
OLA-CSD has offer a great opportunity to launch the first Mock Pura Belpr? Award which will take place at the Hillsboro Public Library - Main on Saturday, December 12 from 10 to 4 and everybody is welcome. We'll try, as suggested by Barratt to make "virtual attendance possible."<br>
As chair of the REFORMA Oregon Chapter and coordinator of the mock award, I'll start identifying libraries serving Latinos and Spanish speaking patrons and create a list so those bigger libraries and consortiums/cooperatives, may be able to help.<br>
I hope that these important conversation becomes the beginning of a needed service. Thank you Barrat!<br>
Have everybody a great day,<br>

<br>
Hi everyone,<br>
<br>
(TL;DR version: Send me an e-mail if you'd like CSD to give you some money to go to the Guadalajara Book Fair and buy a bunch of kids' books for Oregon libraries.)<br>
<br>
I'm so glad to hear that the collaborative purchasing model worked so well for WCCLS! I really would love to see something similar organized at the statewide level to support rural libraries who don't have the resources to pull this kind of project together on their own.<br>
<br>
While scholarships help, they aren't a panacea. Money isn't the only barrier small, rural libraries face. Some other things staff have to consider when assessing whether or not they can participate in these kinds of professional development opportunities:<br>
<br>
1. Travel costs are higher and travel times longer for those of us who don't live near a major airport, so people living outside the Portland Metro area often need additional scholarship funds to cover extra plane flights, gas money, train or bus tickets, long-term parking, etc.<br>
<br>
2. Smaller libraries usually have fewer employees. This means it's a bigger burden on the library for someone to be gone for a long period of time and there's less staff time available to plan such a big undertaking--especially if multiple libraries are involved.<br>
<br>
3. Many small libraries lack staff members with expertise in services to the Latin@ community, which means they have to spend additional staff time researching for the trip and, in some cases, might struggle to select appropriate materials for their collections.<br>
<br>
If we (meaning members of Oregon's library community) want to strengthen library services to Spanish-speaking communities throughout the state, we need to acknowledge the fact that geographic and economic barriers make it challenging for some libraries to provide or improve those services. Asking the institutions with the fewest resources to "do more" won't solve an institutional problem affecting Oregon's rural library staff and our Latin@ communities.<br>
<br>
Organizing a statewide effort to help get quality Spanish books into ALL of Oregon's libraries is something we can do. Providing training opportunities like the Mock Belpre workshop (and making virtual attendance possible) is something we can do. Providing scholarships to attend a conference or buy a webcam is something we can do.<br>
<br>
If I had the resources to go to FIL, I'd volunteer! Unfortunately, I'm already up to my eyeballs in CSD responsibilities and can't add another thing to my professional development plate. As CSD Chair, though, I want to "put my money where my mouth is" and reiterate that a) CSD can provide a scholarship to cover some of the registration/travel costs and b) I'll help with the behind-the-scenes organization if someone is willing to go and purchase books for small libraries at FIL.<br>
<br>
>From what WCCLS librarians have said about their experience, it sounds totally doable! We just need a volunteer or two to actually DO it. Let me know if you can help us out!<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Barratt<br>

<br>
Ditto what Stephanie said. WCCLS sent two librarians last year and have budgeted to send two or three (depends upon how much purchasing they need to do) this year.<br>
We paid for what the scholarship didn't cover. Member libraries identified the amount to spend from their book budgets and types of materials (children's, adult, etc). The two librarians worked their tails off to spend the funds! This was not a vacation in Guadalajara! In the end, all libraries in WCCLS benefited by shared access to LOTS of new materials.<br>
<br>
If you want specifics please contact Stephanie Lind or Mart?n Blasco, WCCLS Outreach services for details. 503-681-5090 or 503-681-5093.<br>
<br>
Perhaps it's possible that several independent libraries could do the same thing - band together, identify what and how much to spend for each, and select a representative to go for you. Think outside the box!<br>

In Washington County, we are on our second (chime in, colleagues, if I have that wrong) of collaborative purchasing for the county at the Guadalajara Book Fair. Libraries across the county chipped into a pot and two staff from two different libraries went to purchase on behalf of the rest of the Cooperative. It was so successful as a county that we in Hillsboro are investing again, on our own, to send a staff person to supplement the collaborative purchasing -- it is very doable with the scholarships, as you mentioned.<br>

Hi all,<br>
<br>
Ruth's description of the CA Guadalajara-book-buying consortium caught my imagination! (In brief: that some CA libraries formed a collaborative to send delegates to the Guadalajara Book Fair (aka the FIL) to buy materials and gather information on behalf of the greater group.) *Have* any Oregon libraries collaborated that way already? If not, I think it could be a worthwhile conversation to start. (I know that this thread caught the interest of some of the Clackamas LINCC directors...) Maybe we could pull it off in the future. Like Barratt, I might also be able to help consult, coordinate or strategize.<br>
<br>
I was fortunate when working for Multnomah as a bilingual youth librarian to attend the Guadalajara Book Fair a few times to select juvenile Spanish-language materials. Although it's true that some material, even there, is in translation (my favorites are the translations from the French<br>
-- French picture books can be so surreal and hilarious!), we typically found lots of terrific, Spanish-original, mostly Latino material that we simply couldn't get through any publishers or distributors state-side. It really enriched MCL's collection with materials reflecting and honoring the origins of many in our service population.<br>
<br>
I know that sending delegates to the FIL is simply outside budget likelihood for many libraries, but I think a combination of capitalizing on the scholarships <<a href="http://www.ala.org/offices/iro/awardsactivities/guadalajarabook" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.ala.org/offices/iro/awardsactivities/guadalajarabook</a>> available and some collaborative strategizing might really be do-able. (And on the simplest end, even if we just organized for FIL attendees to share lists of the best titles and other resources they found, it could be helpful, since at least some of the titles can be bought in the US. As Ruth said, "Not everyone could afford to send someone to Guadalajara, but every library could participate, spend what they determined they could afford, and learn and be helped in the process.") And since some OR libraries do sometimes send staff to the FIL, perhaps there is already some momentum to build upon?<br>
<br>

<br>
p.s. I haven't chimed in for quite a while, so for background: I was with Multnomah (MCL) for 15 years as a Bilingual Youth Librarian, including coordinating a bilingual family literacy grant for them for a couple years; and am delighted to be starting in October as the brand-new Outreach Librarian for Wilsonville. I also do some library consulting and work as a family and early literacy trainer.<br>

With thanks in advance for your assistance ...<br>
<br>
We're doing some revisions to our Library Assistant certificate program at<br>
Linn-Benton Community College and am wondering if the Oregon Employment<br>
Dept's wage data and employment outlook seem correct / overly optimistic /<br>
understated. I'm hoping that some of you in the Willamette Valley, say<br>
between Woodburn/Wilsonville and Eugene/Creswell areas might look at the<br>
data in the attached tables and get back to me off-list as to:<br>
<br>
- Whether the wage data seems correct (based upon your own positions and<br>
recent listings you've seen)<br>
- Your own salary range for these positions<br>
- # of hires in these positions that you've made in the last 3 years<br>
- anticipated # of hires in these positions in the next 3 years<br>
<br>
These numbers can be rough - we're just looking for some estimates before<br>
going forward. Any information you're able to provide will be very valuable.<br>
<br>
