<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: monospace;">Dear Library Directors and Ready to Read key contacts,<br>
<br>
</span><span style="font-family: monospace;">I will be sending the following announcement on the kids-lib and OYAN email lists next week to make sure all children's and teen librarians have this information. However, I wanted to give library directors and
youth services managers (in most cases Ready to Read key contacts) a heads-up first. The 2011 summer reading sweepstakes materials should start going out today so please be on the look out to receive them in the coming weeks. If you don't receive your materials
by Friday, May 27th please contact Kathy Griffin (email and phone number listed below).<br>
<br>
</span><span style="font-family: monospace;">Please note that Destination College Savings is the name of the 2011 summer reading sweepstakes. Last year it was</span><span style="font-family: monospace;"> Dive into Saving for College. The name of the summer
reading sweepstakes will change every year to reflect the statewide summer reading theme.<br>
<br>
Please let me know if you have any questions. <br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>
Katie</span><br>

<p style="text-align: left;" class="MsoNormal"><font color="black" face="HelveticaNeueLTStd-Cn" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: HelveticaNeueLTStd-Cn; color: black;">Simply encourage parents (or guardians and grandparents) to enter Destination
College Savings when their child signs up for summer reading at your library (or any other way that works best for your library). They can enter by completing a short entry form and dropping the postage-paid card in the mail.
<i><span style="font-style: italic;">Please note that entry cards will not be available at Multnomah County Library so their patrons will need to enter online at OregonCollegeSavings.com</span></i>. Fifteen summer reading participants statewide will be randomly
selected as winners of a $1,000 Oregon College Savings Plan account, (three per congressional district). Plus, each winner’s library will receive a cash prize of $500 to use toward future programs. The contest begins June 1, 2011 and ends September 2, 2011.</span></font></p>
