For those librarians and teachers who have "budding librarians" in their middle school programs, here's a wonderful summer camp that will help to inspire some of our best to follow in our footsteps! Please share this with those future librarians in your schools! ********************************************************************************** The Information Matrix Camp for ages 12-14 will be held this summer July 19-25. Past participants have found it the most fun camp they have ever attended. We visit many different kinds of libraries, archives and museums in the Central Oklahoma area. The camp is mainly supported by a grant from the Institute for Museum and Library Services and sponsored by the Oklahoma Library Association and Rose State College. The camp web site is at http://www.rose.edu/lrc/careers/camp.asp, which has the application, sample schedules, etc. The cost is $50 for the student. Hotel, food, transportation, and staff are all furnished by the grant, gifts from Friends of Libraries in Oklahoma, local friends groups, individual gifts, hosting libraries, library volunteers, and the sponsors. They key is YOU. Librarians and school media specialists need to relay the information that the camp will be in session and recommend the students to participate. You can recommend your favorite library volunteer or most industrious student worker or your niece or nephew, child, church friend. You get the picture. It is not limited to just young adult librarians or school media specialists. We want students from all over the state. Last year we had four or five from Poteau. We also invited back the previous year s participants. Eight of them attended again, having different activities. One is a homeschooled young woman who is indeed planning to become a school library media specialist. The objective of the camp is to introduce them to the variety of library careers and library materials and let them get to know some librarians personally. It is truly a great experience for everyone participating. Please let me know if you have any questions AND tell a middle-schooler about the Info Matrix Camp today. Thanks!
