Campbell County Public Library System
Reading “Not Norman” -- Read for
the Record Day 2015 Valinda Trent and I on behalf of the Campbell County Public Library System put on a live performance for this year’s Read For The Record event on October 22nd.
As you know, this year’s book was “Not Norman”, which we performed with a comedic twist. To the audience, Norman was a “random man” pulled from outside the library who only wanted to use the library computers. Even though we BEAUTIFULLY wrapped Norman up, Valinda (the young boy in the story) was not excited to receive this very large (and bearded) version of Norman for her birthday. The audience got a huge kick out of the very kind and sweet Valinda being VERY ungrateful and dramatically grouchy throughout the story.
Our performance continued with Norman remaining silent and using a lot of facial expressions to convey his feelings. The book was read out loud page by page, acted out by our wonderful staff/volunteers, and had a lot of audience participation . . . like naming the young man in the story before we even began. We added many hilarious moments to make the pages come to life for our young patrons.
After the performance, all families were welcomed to light snacks and fruit punch. Some of the CCPL System circulation staff at the Rustburg Library even stayed later than normal library hours to help ensure that this event happened on the official Read For The Record day. Katie Lane, Program Manager, Campbell County Public Library

Library of Virginia Youth Services Notes, November 9, 2015, #227 Page 2
The Library of Virginia Mission
As the Commonwealth’s library and archives, the Library of Virginia is a trusted educational institution. We acquire, preserve, and promote access to unique collections of Virginia’s history and
advance the development of library and records management services statewide.
Vision The Library of Virginia will inspire learning, ignite imagination, create possibilities, encourage understanding,
and engage Virginia’s past to empower its future.
Finance The Library’s primary funding source is General Fund appropriations. The majority of the Library’s General Fund expenses represent transfer payments to local government for state aid to public libraries. Additionally, the Library earns special
nongeneral fund revenue from storage fees charged to agencies and courts for document and records storage and from local circuit court records’ preservation fees.
The Library also receives federal grant funding through the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) of 1996. This grant promotes access to leaning and information resources of libraries.
Goals 2014-2016
Collections: Strengthen and Preserve the Library’s collections and expand accessibility for the benefit of users.
Service: Deliver courteous, accurate, and efficient information services to our customers.
Organizational Excellence: Position the Library to effectively embrace new challenges and increasing responsibilities.
Educational Readiness and Achievement: Engage and educate parents, teachers, and learners through programming designed to enhance early literacy readiness and
to provide access to quality education resources for prekindergarten and K12 children.
This goal is critical in fulfilling the Library’s mission to provide Virginians with access to the most comprehensive information resources and to elevate levels of educational preparedness and attainment of Virginia’s citizens.
Associated State Goal Education: Elevate the levels of educational preparedness and attainment of our citizens.
Education Attainment Objectives ���� Increase the number of children who participate in the Winter Reading Program. ���� Increase the number of children and teens who are served by public libraries through out-of-school programs and summer reading programs. ���� Support the parent as a child’s first teacher by implementing Early Literacy Activity Centers in public libraries and providing training on their use.

YALSA News and Upcoming Events Continued from page 1
“The world of books is the most remarkable creation of man: nothing else that that he builds ever lasts;
monuments fall; nations perish; civilization grow old and die out; new races build others.
But in the world of books are volumes that have seen this happen again and again and yet live on.
Still young, still as fresh as the day they were written, still telling men’s hearts, of the hearts of men centuries dead.
~ Clarence Day ~
