Library Association and was active in the Intellectual Freedom Committee and the Legislative Committee. For the last several years, George wrote a blog,
<a href="https://georgehbell.wordpress.com/">Polwatch</a>, which is required reading for insight into his intellect and passion. His

metrics that measure the effectiveness of the Ready to Read Grant Program. The metrics provide longitudinal data on public library youth services and public library usage statistics. 2014-2015 was the third time libraries selected a few outcomes from a list
provided by the State Library. Outcome based evaluation allows public libraries to see how their efforts impact library services to children in Oregon, and serves as a tool for setting local youth service goals. The
<a href="http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/Pages/youthsvcs/aboutready.aspx#Outstanding_Projects">
Best Practice Libraries</a> report lists those libraries that provide all three youth services best practices: outreach, summer reading, and early literacy training for caregivers.</span></span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p><span class="style101"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Each year, the State Library staff recognizes several public libraries for their outstanding Ready to Read Grant projects. The criteria for this recognition are as follows: the library adheres
to the original intent of the Ready to Read Grant, focuses on one or more of the three Ready to Read Grant best practices, promotes partnerships both in and out of the library, and creates a project that is replicable in other libraries, or enhances current
library services. Libraries recognized for their <a href="http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/Pages/youthsvcs/aboutready.aspx#Outstanding_Projects">
Outstanding Ready to Read projects</a> in 2014-2015 are the Cook Memorial Library (La Grande), Josephine Community Libraries, Mount Angel Public Library, Newberg Public Library, and West Linn Public Library.

Oregon author Beverly Cleary turns 100 years old on April 12, 2016. To celebrate, the State Library is partnering with the Oregon Library Association (OLA) and Oregon Public Broadcasting (OPB) to provide libraries access to resources for planning activities
and events this spring. Programming ideas are currently available on <a href="http://www.csdola.org/100-years-of-beverly-cleary.html">
OLA’s Children’s Services Division website</a>. OPB is filming a special Oregon Art Beat episode entirely dedicated to Cleary, including a new interview with her! The episode will be on the OPB website after it airs for school libraries to stream. OPB is producing
DVDs of the episode for public libraries to host screenings and add to circulating collections. The State Library will ship the DVDs to public libraries the first week in April with bookmarks.</span></span><o:p></o:p></p>

January 22, 2016, the Foundation at Umpqua Community College held a short ceremony to name the UCC Library after Sue Shaffer. Sue’s record of public service spans decades and includes service on state and national boards and commissions as well as numerous
aspects of community life. She was a member of the Legislative Commission on Indian Services (1984-2011) representing the Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Tribe of Indians, and served as its Vice-Chairwoman for a number of years.
</span></span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span class="style101"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Since the 1980s, Sue has been involved politically at the local, state, and national levels, guiding four significant Cow Creek bills through Congress. She was a strong advocate for state
laws strengthening the protection of archaeological sites, Indian burials, and historic preservation. Sue was the first woman to chair the Board of Trustees of Umpqua Community College, remaining a member for seventeen years.

Oregon State Hospital Museum of Mental Health (OSHMMH) currently occupies 2500 sq. feet of the historic Kirkbride building on the Oregon State Hospital campus in Salem. This special museum allows visitors to connect with the past by viewing artifacts to learn
about the experiences of the people who both lived and worked in the hospital. The museum is currently building a collection of oral histories to bring to life the voices and memories of those who called this hospital home.
</span></span><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><br>
<br>
<span class="style101">The museum is managed by a private non-profit organization which has been tasked to manage the state artifacts of the Oregon State Hospital and all past and present hospital branches. The museum is staffed by volunteers and has recently
hired a professional museum curator.</span><br>
<br>
<span class="style101">A conversation with Megan Lallier-Barron, OSHMMH Curator, highlighted some of the interesting projects and challenges that the museum faces in preserving its history. One of these challenges is finding storage space for artifacts from
demolished buildings, including those that represent the work and activities within a particular building.
</span><br>
<br>
<span class="style101">In the future, the museum would like to implement an outreach program which would include sending educational materials and perhaps traveling collections to schools and learning centers around Oregon to share the amazing history and life
stories of the hospital with all Oregonians. Please visit their<a href="http://oshmuseum.org/visit/"> website</a> to plan your visit and learn more about this wonderful museum.</span></span><o:p></o:p></p>
