this summer. The 2013 summer reading statistics and ordering survey will be conducted during September 2013 and compiled into the 4<sup>th</sup><span style="color:#1F497D">
</span><a href="http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/Pages/youthsvcs/oregon.srp.certificate.aspx#Oregon_Summer_Reading_Briefs">Annual Summer Reading Brief</a>. The link to the survey will be emailed out in September on the Ready to Read listserv to ensure that library
directors are kept informed and that only one person fills out the survey per library. OLA’s Young Adults Network (OYAN) will conduct a different survey in the fall that
<i>all</i> library staff can take to share their feedback on the 2013 summer reading program and make suggestions for upcoming programs.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

works best for their communities therefore libraries may not track all of these statistics—that’s okay, you don’t have to report something you don’t track. Please let me know if you have any questions.
