Hello from the Children Services Division! We are preparing for our annual Spring Book Auction for 2026 and we need books! This auction will help us create scholarships to send a few youth librarians to the OLA Conference in 2026. If you or someone you know has been on an award committee where you've received free books and are now looking for a home for them--think of CSD! Or maybe you have boxes and boxes of children's books in great shape that you don't need. If you or someone you know fits the description, please reach out to [email protected] or [email protected] Thank you so much!

In addition to the Mock Pura Belpré, REFORMA is also hosting award-winning author Duncan Tonatiuh to talk about his work. OLA/PNLA Proposals - We’re looking for great youth-focused sessions for this year’s joint OLA/PNLA Conference in April 2026. From intergenerational programming to inclusive services, advocacy to partnerships, you can submit your proposal now And think outside the box (or library worker world!) - if you know a great community partner who would like to present at OLA to share their expertise, send their info to [email protected] and we’ll follow up! Save the Date - Monday, November 3, join the OLA Children's Services Division for a fun afternoon focused on Summer Reading! 1-2 pm: Get the sneak peek from iREADs, complete with artwork and resources, as well as 2027 previews and the opportunity to offer input for 2028. Register here for the 1-2pm meeting link. (You'll be emailed a recording if you can’t attend live.) 2-3 pm: We’re talking Oregon performers and presenters, with a mini-tutorial on using the Oregon Library Presenters Directory and breakout sessions for idea sharing. Register here for the 2-3pm Zoom meeting. (This meeting will not be recorded.) The final CSD Board meeting for the 2024-205 year will be rescheduled in July. Stay tuned for date and time. Thanks! 
It's been nearly a month since the 2025 Oregon Library Association Conference, but over here at CSD, we're still feeling all the joy and connection from the experience. Let us know in the comments what you enjoyed most about the conference.  CSD held its Spring Auction in April, many of us attended OLA, and now we are heading into the Summer Reading! We hope you are doing great. Please join us for the Meet-and-Greet meeting tomorrow from 8:30 a.m. - 10:00 a.m. Login to the OLA website for the zoom link.  Support the Children Services Division by purchasing books through our Spring Auction, now live on Auctria. Create an account and start your bidding! LOTS can be delivered to you at the OLA conference or mailed to you at your cost. Visit https://tinyurl.com/8hj926z7 to see all the goods.  Greetings from the Children Services Division! Just like OLA is going to be a little different this year, so too is the Evelyn Sibley Lampman breakfast. The Lampman Breakfast of Champions is an event at OLA to enjoy breakfast while giving a special shout-out to a youth librarian, author, or educator in Oregon who is making a difference in the lives of Oregon youth. There are only two requirements this year to nominate someone: the person lives in Oregon and has championed youth in Oregon. Complete the form here. If you choose to join us at the Lampman Breakfast of Champions, invite your Champion and you will get a chance to read your letter out loud to them and everyone at the breakfast. All shout-outs will be printed and displayed on a banner in the room for all to enjoy. Questions about this year’s Lampan Breakfast of Champions can be directed to [email protected] More information about Evelyn Sibley Lampman here.  Attend the Children Services Division board meeting on Friday, February 21 from 8:30 a.m. - 10:00 a.m.! You'll meet fantastic librarians in Oregon making a difference.
