For your information... Amanda at CTLS Dear All, If you have not yet placed your order for 2004 Texas Reading Club materials, or if you would like to change your order, there is still time to do so. Please go to http://www.tsl.state.tx.us/ld/projects/trc/forms/order.html and enter your library's contact information and the quantities of posters, manuals, bookmarks, certificates, and reading logs that you need. Since August, 2003, many libraries have placed orders for programming manuals, posters, mini-posters, bookmarks, reading logs (time and title), certificates, as well as marketing and planning manuals for the 2004 Texas Reading Club. The Texas State Library has entered these orders into an Excel Spreadsheet, which has been uploaded onto the web at: www.tsl.state.tx.us/ld/projects/trc/orderconfirm.html. Please check the spreadsheet to make sure that your library's order is correct. If you discover that your order is incorrect, please re-submit your entire order online at www.tsl.state.tx.us/ld/projects/trc/forms/order.html. At the bottom of the form, please indicate that you have made "Changes/Revisions to a Previous Order." If you do not find the name of your library on the spreadsheet, then TSLAC has not received your order. Please place a new order online at www.tsl.state.tx.us/ld/projects/trc/forms/order.html. At the end of the order form, please indicate that yours is a "New Order." When ordering, please estimate the quantity of each item that you will need based on your 2003 reading club participation. As a guideline, TSLAC recommends that libraries order items in the following quantities: Reading Club Manual: 1 for each librarian supervising the Texas Reading Club. The Texas State Library is pleased to announce that, for the first time, the 2004 Texas Reading Club (TRC) manual will be available on CD-ROM. We are excited to offer you the opportunity to receive the manual in this format, which has the following advantages! --Faster production -- resulting in faster delivery time. The manuals on CD-ROM will be mailed in November or December, at least a month earlier than the printed manuals. --Clip-art and craft illustrations and patterns will be downloadable in a digital format and printable. You will have the ability to cut and paste the text, clip art, and craft patterns and illustrations for use in flyers, brochures, bookmarks, and other promotional items and incentives. ---Direct links to web sites cited in the manual. 1. Posters and Mini-Posters: Please order only enough to display in your library, in local schools, and in your community to publicize your reading club. NOTE: It is cost-prohibitive for TSLAC to order sufficient quantities of posters for libraries to distribute them as incentives to reading club participants. 2. Bookmarks: Please order 1 for each child who will participate in your reading club. 3. Reading Logs: Please order a sufficient quantity of time and title reading logs for your reading club participants. Some children may request more than one reading log. 4. Certificates: Please order 1 certificate for each child who will complete your reading club. 5. Marketing the Texas Reading Club (1993) and A Librarian's Planning Handbook for a Read-to-Me Club (1993) may be ordered as needed. These are especially helpful to librarians who will host a reading club for the first time. Please remember to order the NUMBER OF PACKAGES of bookmarks, certificates, and title or time reading logs that you will need. Each package contains 100 items. For example, if you will need 500 certificates, please order 5 packages. Reading Club Manuals will be mailed by January 31, 2004. The posters, certificates, bookmarks, and reading logs will be mailed to libraries throughout the State by March 31, 2004.
