<p class="MsoNormal">Hello youth services library staff! I just got a great question that I thought many of you may be interested in knowing the answer:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Q: For the Oregon Reads 2014, are there specific dates for the program? It there something selected for kids to read?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A1: No, there aren’t specific dates—anytime throughout the year 2014.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A2: Yes, there are youth titles! <i>Everyone Out Here Knows</i> is a picture book appropriate for children,
<i>The Osage Orange Tree</i> is graphic literature appropriate for teens, and <i>
Ask Me</i> is also appropriate for teens—perhaps good material for a poetry slam! Find some resources for planning and implementing Oregon Reads 2014 on the website:
