We are the Oregon Young Adult Network! We have the power to
transform...Summer Reading!<br>
<br>
Yes, even now as you zoom into Teen Read Week toward Mock Printz and
beyond to Teen Tech Week, you can project yourself even further into
the future for the Summer of 2014. That's right, 2014! <br>
<br>
Now is the time to prepare your ideas for the Teen CSLP Manual for
2014. The deadline: November 1. The theme, Science, is aglow with
STEM-y goodness. The teen slogan: "Spark a Reaction!" Think of Bill
Nye and exult: it's Science! Exercise your gleeful laugh.<br>
<br>
Attached in RTF format <font face="Verdana"><font size="3">you’ll
find science ideas generated at the annual CSLP meeting last
April for the teen manual. I'm including them at the end of this
message as well, just to cover our communicative bases. As
you’ll see, the librarians went even broader in their
brainstorming session this year. If you’ve done a successful
program along any of these lines, please share it with all your
CSLP-using colleagues. If you have other great ideas for "Spark
a Reaction", share those, too! </font></font>

interested in your ideas for Setting the Scene: how to do a
display; decorating your teen area; making a teen space
inviting; and what else to display besides books.</font></font></p>

All Oregon public, volunteer, and tribal libraries are members of
the Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP), and receive a
free summer reading manual. To get the most out of your
membership, create an account on the CSLP website (<a
href="http://www.cslpreads.org/">http://www.cslpreads.org/</a>)
and you will be able to access additional summer reading
resources. CSLP membership dues and manual fees are paid for by
the State Library with LSTA funds. Summer reading manuals are
distributed by OLA's Childrens Services Division, and both CSD and
OYAN members represent you on CSLP committees and at the CSLP
annual meeting. <br>
