<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color:#1F497D">A: Nothing, the sweepstakes materials are free! If your library has a child or teen who wins the sweepstakes, your library also gets $500 to spend on your next summer reading program. Up to 15 youth, three
in each congressional district, win the sweepstakes each summer so that means up to 15 Oregon libraries also get $500.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Our partner, the Oregon College Savings Plan, works to help families save to send their kids to college. They are very concerned about the achievement gap. They know the research that about 2/3 of the achievement
gap is caused by lack of access to summer enrichment programs. Encouraging kids to participate in the summer reading program and supporting libraries in their efforts to offer high-quality summer reading programs is important to the Oregon College Savings
Plan because it addresses the achievement gap. Youth maintain or gain skills during the summer do better in school and are more likely to go to college.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
