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.
