[OYAN] Friday, September 25th Shoutout

[BERGQUIST Greta * SLO]

Hello everyone,

Happy Friday! I spent some time on the road in central Oregon this week visiting some of you. As always I'm so impressed with all the work you all are doing in your communities. I saw some great programming and passive programs, and wanted to share these end-cap games in Condon<https://docs.google.com/document/d/10y4gXASK2IKQb68DaP3up9Zk4kt0S9I49aT9q-Mb8Dk/edit?usp=sharing> - still up from summer reading because kids and families love playing with them! Shoutout to Deanna in Condon for creating these. Thanks to all I visited for sharing your creativity, joy, and challenges with me - there is really never a dull moment in a library.

Some of you asked this week about how to access the summer stats form here<https://www.grantinterface.com/Home/Logon?urlkey=slor> - when you login, click "apply" - you should see the form there if it's not already on your home screen. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Have a good weekend!

Best, Greta
