Here is an important message from Christine McNew at the TSLAC. Amanda Dear Children's Librarians, If you have not yet placed your order for 2005 Texas Reading Club (TRC) materials, there is still time to do so. Please go to 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. Orders are due by Oct. 1, 2004. Since August 2004, many libraries have placed orders. The Texas State Library and Archives Commission (TSLAC) 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. The date that the spreadsheet was last updated is at the top of the confirmation instruction page. If you placed an order prior to this date, AND 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. When ordering, please estimate the quantity of each item that you will need based on your 2004 TRC participation. As a guideline, TSLAC recommends that libraries order items in the following quantities. Reading Club Manual: Please order no more than two per library building. The 2005 TRC manual will be sent to on CD-ROM. All chapters will be printable. It will contain color artwork, clip-art, and craft illustrations and patterns that are downloadable and printable. You may cut and paste the text, clip art, and craft patterns and illustrations for use in flyers, brochures, bookmarks, and other promotional items and incentives. You may also upload the artwork onto your library's web site. Posters and Mini-Posters: Use the posters (size 17" x 22") in the library and display the mini-posters (size 11.5" x 15.5") at schools, organizations, and businesses in your community. The slogan is printed in English and Spanish. There is space on the posters to add your library's name and address or other local information. Please order the large posters for use in your library building only. You may order sufficient miniposters to place them in the libraries of the schools you serve. We cannot supply enough posters or mini-posters to put one in each classroom or to give as prizes to Reading Club participants. If you have questions about the use of posters, please call Christine McNew at (512) 463-6623. 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. Bookmarks: For use in conjunction with school visits or as incentives to bring children into the library. The bookmark's reverse side is blank for your use. Order one per child. A Choice of Two Reading Logs: Since some children want to keep track of the books they read and some like to keep track of the time they spend reading, you may order logs that provide space for titles OR logs that keep track of time. Black and white masters are included in the clip art section of the manual if you prefer to print custom reading logs. Certificates: The certificate will remind each child of their reading adventures long after the program ends. Many libraries present certificates at a special celebration or award them individually when each child has completed the reading club. Texas Reading Club manuals will be mailed by January 31, 2005. The posters, certificates, bookmarks, and reading logs will be mailed to libraries throughout the State by March 31, 2005. Also, please complete your Evaluation Form for the 2004 TRC at www.tsl.state.tx.us/ld/projects/trc/forms/eval.html if you have not already done so. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
