Register now to take part in the FIFTH ANNUAL SWON Libraries Teen Reading Challenge. The Challenge will run from January 15 through April 15, 2010.
This popular activity brings together the reading minds and eyes of librarians throughout the region. The Teen Reading Challenge is a great way to learn about the literature available for your teen patrons, to learn about publishing in this ever-emerging area, or just to help you to connect to your own kids!
The Challenge will officially begin on January 15 and we will ask you to close your books on April 15. At that time, we will compile the statistics and announce the winners. Register now to participate. Team and individual entries will be accepted. The goal is to read the highest number of books and pages of teen literature. Prizes will be awarded for most books read by a team, the highest average number of pages read by a team, best team effort, and best individual effort. All participants will receive a rated bibliography of all books read during the Challenge and a certificate of participation.
Each team member should register individually, but list all members of the team in the comments field of the registration form. If you don't have a team selected, register individually and we will find you a team. Here is the link to register to participate in the Challenge: http://www.swonlibraries.org/viewevent?id=1839
The State Library of Ohio will be holding the ninth Library Leadership Ohio on July 25 – 30, 2010.
The mission of Library Leadership Ohio is to develop future leaders for Ohio libraries, to help Ohio library staff become leaders in the communities they serve, and to encourage Ohio librarians to support the mission of the State Library and the purposes of LSTA within their institution.
Library Leadership Ohio is an intensive, residential leadership education program held at the Inn & Spa at Honey Run, nestled in the heart of Ohio Amish Country near Millersburg, Ohio in Holmes County.
Individuals working in public, school, special, and academic libraries are eligible to apply for Library Leadership Ohio. LLO targets both support and professional library employees from Ohio who have exhibited leadership potential, a successful work experience, and dedication to the profession.
