<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">Here in CO, our Check Out Colorado State Parks program has been very successful. We provided 2 backpacks to every public library branch, military library, and interested publicly funded academic
library to circulate. Each sturdy backpack includes binoculars, Leave No Trace outdoor ethics card, state parks brochure, 2 laminated field guides (CO wildlife and CO trees and wildflowers), and the main item—a state park pass good for any of our 41 state
parks (see the backpack and contents at <a href="http://www.cde.state.co.us/cdelib/checkoutcoloradobackpackphotot">
http://www.cde.state.co.us/cdelib/checkoutcoloradobackpackphotot</a>). Patrons can check out the backpack for a week at a time. It began in June 2016; it was a lot of work to start up but the ongoing maintenance level and costs are very small for us. Library
staff and patrons love it, along with our state parks partners. A survey of both patrons and library staff shows its success:
<a href="http://www.cde.state.co.us/cdelib/checkoutcolorado2016infographic">http://www.cde.state.co.us/cdelib/checkoutcolorado2016infographic</a>. It’s also led to several other valuable state level partnerships for us with organizations focused on outdoor
activities. Several other states have a similar program (thanks to GA for helping us start ours!).

</o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black"> This is a great thread, it’s been very helpful to think about our services in this context.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">I want to echo what others have said about training and add that we also facilitate communities of practice through the
<a href="http://www.olis.ri.gov/youth/csrt/index.php">Children’s Services Round Table</a> and
<a href="http://www.olis.ri.gov/youth/csrt/index.php">Young Adult Round Table</a>. Our state library association does not have a youth division, so these round tables are the only opportunity for youth services staff to get together to collaborate. There is
no money behind the round tables (other than my time and the occasional presenter), yet they remain one of our most valuable statewide offerings.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black"> I’m not sure if this falls in to the category of a statewide service as it is a reading program, but
<a href="http://www.olis.ri.gov/youth/krari/index.php">Kids Reading Across RI</a> (KRARI) is one of the best things we do. We partner with the RI Center for the Book and have a committee of public and school librarians who select the KRARI book each year. (The
2018 book is <i>The First Rule of Punk</i>!) We distribute copies of the book to schools and public libraries for book discussions and we produce a discussion/activity guide that teachers and librarians can use. The author comes to RI for a big kickoff event
in May, and we also arrange for public libraries in underserved areas to have enrichment activities based on the book throughout the summer.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">Training for sure. I personally think it constitutes a state-wide service if you are making it available state-wide. If they opt not to take advantage of it, that is out of our control.

book, storytime, LEGO, and DUPLO kits. We have a statewide courier system (another great statewide service we offer) that allows us to send these kits for free to libraries across the state.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Maybe this is opening up a larger debate, but the term “statewide” can be hard to define. Is this a program that everyone gets to matter what? Something like Nebraska’s motion picture license is great because
it really does benefit every library. On the other hand, trainings that we offer in every part of the state may seem statewide because they are open to all, but that doesn’t mean that every library actually benefits from it if no one takes the training.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I think the majority of what we will be doing moving forward is offering training and participation in projects on a voluntary basis. The last thing that the State Library tried to implement statewide (online
summer reading) was a massive fail and it’s left a bad taste in a lot of people’s mouths. So choosing to participate in something is the way we’ll need to go for now at least.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">I’m interested in knowing what you think your best statewide project is that impacts youth services (beside summer reading, and let’s also exclude standard early literacy programs, as we already
have one of those). <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">This may sound like a very random and general question, but our state has a history of putting a lot of funding into subgrants. As a result, we don’t have many statewide projects, but in the
future, we may be interested in cutting back on some of the grants and using the excess funds towards more statewide projects.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">I’ve been asked to consider where I might want to put the funding, if we pulled back some of the funding for summer reading grants, and to be honest, I’m not even sure what the possibilities
are. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">I’m going to consider unique possibilities, but I would also be interested in hearing what’s already in place and working well in other states.
