<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">One wouldn’t normally associate library staff with fighting wildland fire, but our Volunteer and Operations Coordinator, Cam Amabile, switches gears when the fire bell rings. Through
a collaborative partnership between the State Library and Oregon Department of Forestry, she deploys with a type one Incident Management Team as a Food Unit Leader intermittently throughout the summer. In this partnership, the State Library supports critical-need
positions in the fire world while also seizing the opportunity to send a staff member into hard-to-reach and distant rural communities.<br>

summer, Cam spent 42 days in rural towns across Oregon coordinating the feeding of over 2,500 firefighters. Her assignments took her to places like Mitchell, Wallowa, and Lakeview, where for brief periods she was able to change into her library hat and conduct
in-person outreach. With the two-year pandemic keeping most State Library staff from traveling, it was a welcome opportunity to have a team member temporarily stationed in these communities and be able to visit both school and public libraries. <br>
<br>
As conversations unfolded, common themes were apparent across these communities. Challenges like connectivity, technology access, staffing, and COVID-19’s impact were shared across the board. By being physically present and having these conversations, Cam was
able to hear the concerns of these communities, remind them about opportunities for funding and consultation, and ultimately offer that we are always there to help. <br>
<br>
There were also elements of positivity that came of these conversations in the form of feedback. It was apparent that the work the State Library was doing was having a healthy impact on rural libraries. In the simple act of sharing relevant pandemic-related
information, guidance on policy, and opportunities for funding, we were providing a critical service.<br>
<br>
Ultimately, time spent fighting fire served two critical roles: uplifting the morale of hungry firefighters to keep Oregon’s communities safe and strengthening relationships with library partners to keep communities connected.

year, 11 public libraries participated in Oregon’s first Edge cohort with a focus on data fluency. Edge is a subscription service that enables libraries to harness the power of data to make informed decisions, better serve their communities, and clearly demonstrate
their community leadership role.<br>
<br>
Participants in the cohort used Edge and additional data sources to build their capacity to access, analyze, and leverage data; develop goals and action plans; and use data to form or strengthen partnerships with local leaders. Participants met online numerous
times to learn, discuss, and share how to become “data leaders” in their library. They increased their capacity to answer questions, identify opportunities, inform decisions, and communicate with stakeholders by leveraging the information at their disposal
from circulation and patron management systems to web page analytics to demographic data.<br>
<br>
For the upcoming year, the State Library will be sponsoring two programs: a second Data Fluency cohort and a new Digital Inclusion Action cohort. The latter program has been created expressly to:</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black">

<br>
One member from last year’s cohort noted there were “great groups and conversations, and it was very helpful to see what other libraries around the state were doing,” while a second participant shared, “I believe the Edge platform, toolkits, webinars, and staff
are valuable in assisting libraries to assess their needs and put plans into action to benefit the communities served.” <br>

colleges, and tribes put the finishing touches on local and regional projects. These projects were funded through one-time Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act funding the State Library received via the Institute of Museum and Library
Services (IMLS).<br>
<br>
As part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act enacted by Congress on March 27, 2020, the State Library of Oregon was awarded $381,108, all of which was in turn offered as smaller, non-competitive subgrants to the nine federally recognized
tribes associated with Oregon, as well as to 40 public libraries and six community college libraries in 14 Oregon counties. The focus of these grants was to enhance digital inclusion for individuals and communities, and many grantees used their funds locally
to purchase and circulate Wi-Fi hotspots, expand their library’s Wi-Fi networks, and to provide training and resources to meet the growing digital literacy needs of patrons.<br>

Direct Access to Resources & Technology (DART) van. With mobile Wi-Fi access and a collection of laptops and tablets, JCLS DART has already proven to be a critical tool in providing safe (i.e., outdoor) Internet access for patrons throughout their large system
during COVID-related library closures, as well as reaching patrons displaced by the disastrous wildfires last year.<br>

Not every library offered a CARES Act subgrant was able to make immediate use of these funds. With the approximately $48,000 that was left on the table, the State Library of Oregon started pilot projects that will assess two different online training resources.

application so he could register with our library. We get calls like his all the time, but when he mentioned he found out about us from the Meals on Wheels people in his area, that piqued our interest. Looking further into this uncommon referral source helped
us learn about an awesome connection between the Deschutes Public Library and the Council on Aging in Central Oregon (CACO).<br>
<br>
As it turns out, the man who called for an application got our information out of an activity packet called The Library Corner (TLC for short) put together by the Deschutes Public Library and distributed by the CACO’s Meals on Wheels delivery drivers. The packet
was the brainchild of Graham Fox, who was hearing from activity directors at local care communities that their residents needed something to occupy their minds during COVID lockdowns. His solution was a packet specifically curated for local residents filled

packet was an instant hit, and the content grew to include poetry, book reviews, recipes, and other items of interest. Content creators were more than willing to allow their materials to be published in TLC, many of them excited to be a part of this creative
solution to a community need. The one problem Deschutes Public Library faced was how to print and distribute TLC on their very limited budget.<br>
<br>
That’s when Deschutes Public Library received a message from CACO offering to partner with them. Deschutes Public Library would continue to build each bi-weekly TLC issue. CACO would then pay to have it printed and distribute it through Meals on Wheels. The
partnership has been thriving, with 600+ copies going out to people across Central Oregon. And as seen by the man calling our library for an application, its benefit and impact are extending even further. Just another great example of a well-designed organic
solution to a real community need. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

terribly inspiring when it comes to fundraising. With a staffing change in 2020, the Talking Book and Braille Library sought to shake up the routine to energize donors and inspire new ones to emerge. Jazzing things up was the perfect challenge for new Fund
Development Coordinator, Cam Amabile. Having come from a background in heritage interpretation, she knows how important it is to tell a story, to personally connect, and to make our work relevant to those we serve. She hoped that some simple methodological
tweaks would help inspire folks to invest in the evolution of future services of the Talking Book and Braille Library. <br>
<br>
Our primary area of focus is greater personalization of the communications that donors receive, regardless of whether those communications come via snail mail, e-mail, or video. We’re also looking to offer other ways to consume information including virtual
town halls, video chats, and better plugging of our existing e-newsletters. Additionally, we have started to engage our donors in targeted funding challenges by asking for specific amounts and tailoring solicitations to only certain subgroups of donors. <br>
<br>
Within a year and a half, this tactic has already benefited the Talking Book and Braille Library by increasing average donation amounts, while simultaneously cutting mailer costs by narrowing the scope of our solicitations. Patrons have also noticed the change
in the nature of our letters, which are now more personable, casual, heartfelt, and addressed from the program manager herself. All of these changes, with more to come, will support the Talking Book and Braille Library for years to come.
