<p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center">The 2013 Oregon Summer Reading Brief has just been published!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center"><a href="http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/Pages/youthsvcs/oregon.srp.certificate.aspx#Oregon_Summer_Reading_Briefs">http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/Pages/youthsvcs/oregon.srp.certificate.aspx#Oregon_Summer_Reading_Briefs</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The SRP brief is a compilation of data that Oregon public libraries reported this September via the Summer Reading Statistics and Ordering Survey. The SRP brief provides a picture of summer reading participation in Oregon. On the summer
reading webpage you will find the SRP brief in both <a href="http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/youthsvcs/srp.certificates/OSLsrpBrief2013-Final.pdf">
a pdf</a> and <a href="http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/youthsvcs/srp.certificates/OSLsrpBrief2013-Final.docx">
word.docx</a> format. Libraries are encouraged to use the word.docx as a template to create their own summer reading brief to share their statistics with their library board, city council, commissioners, and other library stake holders.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Based on requests from several libraries, the State Library also published the
<a href="http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/youthsvcs/srp.certificates/2013SRPstatisticsAndOrders.xls">
Summer Reading Statistics Spreadsheet</a>. This allows you to compare participation in summer reading at your library to similar libraries in Oregon. In addition, I included the population of children 0-14 years old from the 2013-2014 Ready to Read Grant
list and calculated the % of those children who signed-up and finished so you can get a better idea of the reach your program has in your community.
