<p class="MsoNormal">This year 7,339 people entered the sweepstakes, which is the most entries since the sweepstakes began in 2010—great job everyone! Attached you’ll find the list of how many people entered at each library. Keep in mind the library names on
the attached list are exactly as people who entered the sweepstakes wrote them. That means if a patron misspelled your library’s name or called it something slightly different, then your library will have multiple entries on the list and you will need to add
them together to find out exactly how many people from your library entered the sweepstakes. For example: Albany Public Library, which has one main/central library and one branch, has at least 11 entries on this list.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Nov 12, 2015<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">SALEM, Ore., Nov. 12, 2015 — Fourteen Oregon children now have a head start on saving for college, thanks to taking part in summer reading. Their names were randomly drawn as winners
in this year’s superhero-themed “Save for College, Save the Day!” summer reading campaign, sponsored by the Oregon College Savings Plan in partnership with the Oregon State Library and Oregon Library Association. The annual campaign is designed to help keep
kids’ minds engaged over the summer.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Overall, the Oregon College Savings Plan awarded $14,906: each of the 14 winners received a $529 Oregon College Savings Plan account, while the libraries where the winners enrolled
received a total of $7,500.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">“The Oregon College Savings Plan believes it is fundamentally important to support summer reading programs for Oregon families,” said Michael Parker, executive director of the Oregon
529 Savings Network. “Studies show that reading year round can increase a child’s academic performance, and that will help them to be college ready.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">According to the Oregon State Library, 206,425 youth from birth through age 18 signed up for this year’s summer reading program at public libraries throughout Oregon; collectively,
they read 144,643 books. At least 68,735 achieved their reading goal and completed the 2015 summer reading program. “This is the sixth year that we’ve partnered with the Oregon College Savings Plan on summer reading,” said MaryKay Dahlgreen, Oregon State Librarian.
“We appreciate their support of the importance of year round reading.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">The Save for College, Save the Day! campaign received 7,339 entries statewide, helping to spread awareness of the importance of both summer reading and saving early for college.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">As part of the campaign, the Oregon College Savings Plan also underwrote a series of free special performances in libraries in communities with a population of 10,000 or less. The
goal was to engage and motivate young readers, while helping these smaller libraries drive traffic and encourage summer reading. Select libraries and their patrons enjoyed entertainment from award-winning storyteller Christopher Leebrick, Penny’s Puppets,
Charlie Brown the Juggler, Rhys Thomas Jugglemania, and Rich Glauber’s Music in Action throughout the summer months.<o:p></o:p></p>
