Lampman Breakfast of Champions

2/21/2025

0 Comments

 
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.

OLA Legislative Day

1/17/2025

0 Comments

 
Meet our Legislators! Build community and connect with decision makers. We are gathering at the State Capital on Tuesday, February 11, 2025 between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. -- Please join us!
It all starts with an orientation session.  Then, at the State Library of Oregon in room 102, with books provided for them, Legislators will choose one to send to one of their local libraries.

Now is the time to call your Senator and Representatives' offices and schedule an appointment for anytime on February 11. 
Appointments are usually in 10-15 minute slots.
The OLA Library Development & Legislation Committee will provide you with issue briefs and talking points soon. You, a part of the professional library community, are the best people to talk with our state legislators and their staffers about library issues.


After you've made your appointments, please use this spreadsheet https://tinyurl.com/yx3cvmsj
to document the appointment time. The link to the spreadsheet is also available on the committee’s webpage:  https://www.olaweb.org/ldlc 
If you are unable to attend in person we hope you will plan on contacting your Legislators through email or by phone and let us know this on the spreadsheet.


Don't know who are your state legislators? 
Look it up with the Legislator Lookup tool: 
https://geo.maps.arcgis.com/apps/instant/lookup/index.html?appid=fd070b56c975456ea2a25f7e3f4289d1
You could coordinate your visit with others in your Legislative districts and bring along Board Members or others in your community interested in these kinds of library issues.
Keep this in mind, the Legislator’s offices easily accommodate 3 visitors.

Level-Up Listening Session

12/4/2024

0 Comments

 
CSD and OYAN invite you to this mullet-style meeting - business in the front, party in the back. The business is a listening session to voice your triumphs and tribulations related to the State Library's Summer Reading Program, iREAD, and to let us know what you value most in your SRP planning. We want to hear from you, but we also want to party with you! The party will continue with virtual games like, "What the Dub" and "Bring Your Own Book." Experience first-hand games that work great for library programs while partying with awesome youth librarians from near and far, serving youth from babies to teens! All Oregon Youth Librarians welcome! ​https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86703892312
