Here is the list of mock Caldecott nominations: 

Dear CSD Members,
The CSD Board has prepared some amendments to our bylaws.  If you have any questions or would like to make comments, please email: csdpastchair@olaweb.org.  Looking for our full bylaws?  Click here.  We will send out the voting ballots in the near future.

2. Change the Performer's Showcase Chair to an appointed, voting Board position in article 11.051.
Reason for this change: The Performer's Showcase Chair is responsible for one of CSD's long-standing core activities that provides an important service to the library community.

3. Change title of Web Editor to Communications Chair throughout. 
Reason for this change: Communications Chair more accurately reflects the responsibilities of this position.

4. Remove article 11.0524 requiring 1/3 of ballots be returned for valid elections, to a simple majority of returned votes. 
Reason for this change: This change makes CSD election policy consistent with other OLA Divisions which allow simple majority for elections.

5. Specify nominations for Lampman Award are to be made by Oregon residents in article 11.103.
Reason for this change: During the most recent nominations we received several nominations from outside of the OLA organization,  Since the Lampman award honors "a living Oregon author, librarian, or educator who has made a significant contribution to Oregon in the fields of children’s literature and library services," it makes sense to open nominations to Oregon residents.

Thank you to Jane Corry, Holly Campbell-Polivka and the entire Lampman Award Committee for their work!

We are looking for committee members for the 2022 Lampman Award.  If you would like to participate, please contact csdwebeditor@olaweb.org.

The Spring Workshop Fundraiser: Virtual Auction
Thank you to everyone who participated in the CSD fundraiser this spring. Whether you bid, bought, or donated, your support is greatly appreciated.  The fundraiser brought in over $700.

What's next for CSD?
If you were a member back in 2019, you might recall our first Summer Reading Summit in the fall! We are planning on having a similar learning opportunity called the Youth Services Summit. We are unsure if this will be in person or virtual, but will very likely have a virtual component. Stay tuned for more info, and thank you for your support of CSD!
