<p class="MsoNormal">Hello everyone, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I wanted to add to Wendy’s message below. I met with <a href="https://oregonask.org/">
Oregon ASK</a> folks this week. They do a lot of research about what happens for Oregon kids and families in the summer. As many of you know, lots of bills are currently waiting to be passed in our Legislature. One of them, Senate Bill 531, covers summer funding
through community grants, which typically places like Boys and Girls Club, YMCA, etc, often rely on to provide summer options for kids. You can see the
<a href="https://oregonask.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Summer-Without-Funding.pdf">
expected loss of summer learning opportunities for your county</a> in this fact sheet from Oregon ASK.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What this might mean for libraries is that we are likely to see more kids and families at summer programs, because options for working families are going to be limited. It may also mean better opportunity to partner - I visited Stayton
Public this week, and they mentioned meeting with their school district. Their district, like many others, is trying to figure out how to fund summer school and other summer programs they typically do, and were open to Stayton coming to their summer lunch
site for summer reading programming, which is great! The upside of this very real issue that will negatively impact families and kids is there may still be time for you to work with your schools and local folks serving kids. I know summer reading is upon us,
but I would highly encourage you to reach out, because people are trying to figure out what to do even now at this late date, and may be more open to seeing the library as a partner right now.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So my shoutout is to all of you as you get ready for summer reading, and for being flexible even as it starts! Best of luck, and don’t hesitate to reach out with questions.

<p class="MsoNormal">Summer reading season is here! As we enter this hectic and wonderful time, I wanted to encourage you to take this opportunity to invite library funders to your upcoming events that showcase the value and impact your library has in your
community. It’s also a great time to get pictures! You could include those in a summer reading follow-up that highlights major outputs and outcomes, including feedback from participants.
<span style="color:#2F5496"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This kind of relationship building with funders – be they county commissioners, city managers, mayors, or elected officials – can significantly contribute to the sustainability and growth of your library’s initiatives in the future. By
inviting them to attend or participate in your summer reading events and by sending a follow-up, you can grow their understanding of your programs and demonstrate the positive influence their support of the library has on the community.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you for your dedication and commitment to promoting literacy and fostering a love for reading of all kinds.
