[LM_NET] SHARE: Oklahoma Only--- Information Matrix Camp (Growing Young Librarians)

[Shonda Brisco <sbrisco@GMAIL.COM>]

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!  Sharon
