materials. <o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">
Ask a local print shop to provide an in-kind donation—i.e. they would print the certificates at no cost to the library, and the library would acknowledge their contribution in some way.<o:p></o:p></li></ul>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Q: Why aren’t hardcopies of the certificates available anymore?<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>A:</b> In the past, printing and distributing hardcopies of the summer reading certificates was paid for by a donation. The donation funds are no longer available. The State Library surveyed public libraries to ask if they thought printing
and distributing the certificates was a good use of State Library funds. The results of the survey were shared with the executive boards of OLA’s Children’s Services Division and Oregon Young Adults Network, and both organizations recommended that the State
Library 1) discontinue printing and distributing hardcopies, 2) make a black-and-white certificate available to download for those who don’t have a color printer, and 3) provide a few local funding suggestions. The State Library decided to follow these recommendations.
