One more addition to the dialogue: a number of people have suggested ways
of recognizing hanukkah and kwanzaa as well as Christmas; it's also perhaps
worth remembering that a plain winter scene amid the decorations might
acknowledge those who don't celebrate any December holidays (Jehovah's
Witnesses, for example).

Subject: Re: e-mail
One poster wanted to know why public libraries would either ban e-mail for
patrons or frown on it. In my library system, we are trying to present
the Brave New World of Internet access on some fairly old technology, and
we simply don't have the technical capability to allow everyone to access
their mail. They can't save their messages, they can't view attachments,
and frequently the machines freeze up if they write anything because of
hidden control keys. In the future, as our machines are updated, we hope
this will change, but for now we have to regard the public terminals as
ways to ACCESS information rather than ways to COMMUNICATE it. I realize
it's a very fine line.
Professional staff members have somewhat limited access to PINE. I, for
example, can read listserv messages and write to listservs, but I cannot
e-mail individuals. I am not sure why.

African-American kids who live in apartment buildings and on farms. I grinned

Subject: re: ornament ideas
Why not avoid religious connotations as much as possible?
-- One year we turned the tree in the Children's Area into a "Storytime
Tree."
I made simple ornaments to represent different books (some of these were
simply an illustration from the book, xeroxed and colored w/ markers,
then mounted on construction paper and laminated)
During Storytime, after we finished sharing a story, a child
would get to hang the ornament based on that book up on the tree. The
after-school crowd made additional ornaments, based on their
favorite books, and added them to our tree. (Yes, there were a lot of
"Goosebumps"-based ornaments that looked a little seasonally
inappropriate, but
that's ok)
We even had some families make book-related ornaments at home, and
bring them in to add to the Storytime tree. It was a nice way to honor the
seasonal tradition of the tree, without getting caught up in too much religious
symbolism, or running the risk of offending/alienating anyone.

If you were using a filter that relies on word blocking, and "erotic"
were
selected, any site containing the word "erotic" site would have been
blocked.
But word blocking is (mostly) a straw man, since the filters used by
libraries rely on address-level blocking of sites.
Now, some filters do block addresses by word. For example, "www.erotic.com"
would be blocked because it contained a stop word in the address.
Others block words by search engine. For example, you could not enter
"erotic" into AltaVista or Yahoo.
The better products allow you to turn all of these various forms of word
blocking off. Some of the worse ones, like CyberSitter, do not. I cannot
read pages my own site when I run CyberSitter because they contain words
like "sex" and "pornography".
You touch on an interesting point, which is innocent words bringing up
search engine results that are quite nasty. Words such as "toys",
"girls",
"boys", "watersports", as well as certain names, such as
"Lolita" or
"Pamela" will bring up results which are often very explicit in
describing
what the porn site contains.

The book "Our Guys" is the account of the Glen Ridge High School rape
case
in Glen Ridge, N. J. The tragedy occurred in a culture that accepts
"jocks" as special, young women as decorations for the jocks, and a
mentally handicaped young woman as totally vulnerable to mistreatment by
those a part of the "inner circle" of jocks and jockettes. My
assignment
(for Emporia State University, School of Library and Information Science)
is to relate this scenerio to relevant programming in the library. Do you
have programs that encourage the girls to be strong and unwilling to accept
mistreatment by boys? If we can do anything to affect the thinking of this
dangerous "jock"mentality (and I do think a boy can be involved in
high
school sports and not mistreat girls--I know some fine examples) we must
first be able to "connect" with the athletes. Do you have programming
to
do this? What about mentally handicapped high school students? Do you do
any special programming for them?
Part of this assignment is to gather hits from PUBYAC. I appreciate any

I am a recent graduate of the School of Library and Information Studies at
the University of Wisconsin-Madison and feel they have an excellent
program for future children's, young adult, and school librarians. I was
instilled with a true appreciation for literature in courses with Anne
Lundin (Children's Literature, Storytelling), Eliza Dresang (Multicultural
Literature for Children and Young Adults -- Dr. Dresang is now at Florida
State University's SLIS), Mary Jane Wiseman (Young Adult Literature &
Youth Services). Additionally, the presence of the CCBC (Cooperative
Children's Book Center), with monthly book discussions and mock award
discussions, taught me to think critically and really love and value
discussion. The CCBC librarians - Ginny Moore Kruse, Kathleen Horning, and
Megan Schliesman -- all contributed to my education. I also had good
timing -- the Information Management course was taught by Barbara Dimick,
former Head of Children's Services at Madison Public Library and now
Director. In courses that weren't specifically focused on youth services,
I was able to orient my papers/research towards children's services (for
example, for a Reference project in a course with Charles Bunge, I focused
on resources for Homeschoolers). One of the best courses was Dianne McAfee
Hopkins' Intellectual Freedom course. It was amazing to spend a semester
exploring many aspects of Intellectual Freedom -- very thought-provoking.
(Dr. Hopkins also teaches Young Adult Literature and The School Libray
Media Center). As you can see, I really enjoyed my time in library school,
and I would recommend UW-Madison to anyone!

Hello everyone--
This is the world's strangest stumper--at least in my experience! I was
working in the Central Library children's room and this was passed along to
me. I sure hope y'all can help!
A woman is looking for a series of fiction books she read as a child, about a
family of partridges that could turn into people--maybe due to seasonal
changes. One of the children, a girl, had to give up her bird-ness when she
married a human, and another child, probably a boy, was shot when he was a
bird and was still injured when he turned back into a boy. It might also be
a family of people who turned into birds. She is certain it's a series,
published in the 50s and 60s, but definitely before '65, which is when I
graduated from high school, and I absolutely don't remember anything about it
even though I was a voracious series reader as a kid.
This seems so off the wall, I can't imagine that she is remembering
correctly, but I told the children's staff that I'd ask you and see if you
could produce a miracle. And thanks in advance!

Living Books such as:
Grandma and Me
Dr. Seuss' ABC
Arthur's Teacher Trouble
Harry and the Haunted House
There is also a CD ROM game of "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom" which is
great.
Although, my grandchildren (5 years and 2 years old) love some of the
Disney CD's (Toy Story and 101 Dalmations) they don't always work as well
as the Living Books series. For music you might try "Kid's Riff." For

There is also a very old DOS Micky Mouse jigsaw game that my

Subject: stumper: Masquerade?
Is Masquerade the title of the book published in the 70s (I
think) in which readers searched for clues to a real treasure - an elaborate,
bejeweled rabbit? The book had gorgeous, detailed paintings, and was
popular for years, even past the time when the treasure was discovered.
Who was the author/illustrator? I believe he was British. Thanks.

Hi, I am currently looking for assistance in locating a South American
folktale about a weaver and a goat. Any ideas would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks in advance.
