Subject: "Best" lists and book selection
After reading the posting by the librarian whose director compares her
purchases with SLJ's "Best Books" list, I realized that I was very
lucky
in that none of my directors has ever looked over my shoulder and
second-guessed my selection decisions. (I have been a librarian since
1985 and have worked under 5 directors in 2 libraries).
What has your experience been? Is this "hands off" policy normal for
directors, or have I just been lucky?

Subject: Re: bibliotherapy
Hi Marsha,
Thank you for shaing your personal experience with the healing power of
books. I present workshops on bibliotherapy with groups of teachers and
librarians and I try to get written or verbal antedotal information
about the use of literature and healing from folks using this process.
Not very many responses, so I was really pleased to read yours. May I
use it as part of my talks?
I agree that the term bibliotherapy is a turn off to many people. It's
scary sounding. And many people have the misunderstanding that a book
on a specific problem will be the solution! I love your comment about a
well written book conveys the human experience, etc.
I remember reading an antedotal story about AVI, the author, as a young
boy. He grew up with a speech problem and his mother described how
after reading about a particular hero in a book who overcame a problem,
Avi suddenly make the connection to his stuggle (at the age of 4 or 5 I
belive) and told his mother how wonderful books are and how he would
overcome his speech inpediment. And of course he did.
I have compiled a list of over 200 picture books that I have found
useful in dealing with children or adults having difficulty coping with
feelings stemming from dysfuntional families. I started this list as a
result of working with a local counciling center that developed a
program called Extra Step. This was a self help group for children to
be used after school with teachers as facilitators. If you would like a
copy I could send an attachment via email or mail you a copy.

I'm responding to the list rather than directly to Steven, because I
think this info is important to get out. Forgive my high-handedness.
Just a couple of days ago Microsoft was enjoined not to force
inclusion of Explorer as part of its Windows package. If this
decision is upheld, it will likely change the playing field
significantly, and Netscape (and other browsers perhaps) will start
moving in aggressively to have their browser included on new
computers being sold pre-loaded with software. So while it's
possible that at this very moment people are on the whole more
accustomed to Explorer (although I'm not convinced of this, as
Netscape has done a terrific job marketing itself despite
Microsoft's monopolistic practices), this will probably change.
Besides, kids are so adaptable, they probably will adjust to a
different browser within seconds even if they aren't familiar with
whatever you have loaded.
And Netscape is free to public libraries. (Don't know about
Explorer.)
Happy decision-making!

I am not sure if this is what you want, but I have started a "book

Susan Kapuscinski Gaylord. (ISBN0 590 48921 6)
She introduces (mostly) ancient book forms, then shows how to adapt them to make
with grade school age. You could just adapt the instructions to be more like the
examples. We've really had fun with it.
I can't remember the exact details, but I remember reading about a book
arts/making museum of some type in the Northeast (maybe Massachussettes) that
has for years been a site for field trips and educational excursions. They might
have some more sophisticated ideas for your YAs.
Also, I took a Continuing Ed class several years ago on different bindings. The
teacher was a local middle school art teacher. You might want to contact your
neighborhood middle & high schools' art teachers for ideas, too. Maybe even
a collaborative program?!

of presenters for any of these topics. Have you heard a great presenter

are: School and Public Library Cooperation (this is a top choice, but the
hardest one for which to come up with a presenter), Intergenerational
Programming (our state has recently made library services to seniors a high
priority, so this would fit well with some other things we are doing),
Young Adult Services (YALSA maintains a list of quality trainers in this
area, but if you have heard one recently, I would still like your opinion).
Any ideas? We are behind schedule on this, and need to move quickly

ubject: Re: "Best" lists and book selection
I think that directors in many libraries were responsible for all the
collection purchases. Over time, some directors began delegating that task
to other staff members. This is the case in both my previous and current
library. The director in my library has never second-guessed any of our
decisions. She may make suggestions for titles or subjects to buy, but
every staff member and especially the reference desk people make these same
suggestions to each other based on what patrons are requesting and
weaknesses we find in our collection.
I also don't buy a book just because it was an SLJ "best book". I look
at
that list for ideas and then select based on what I think my patrons want
or need. I buy lots of books not on the list that are extemely popular.
Some of the SLJ recommendations have absolutely bombed in my library. If
all people are going to do is buy what is on a best books list, then hire a
clerk to do it. It doesn't take a librarian or resource specialist to
order books listed in an article without evaluating the appropriateness of
the title for their collection.

An organization that is affiliated (somehow) with our frneds
organization runs a poetry contest each year called the Poet's Seat
poetry contest with two categories: adults and children. The judges
select the top 10 poems (without knowing who the writers are) from each
category and the winners are invited to an awards evening where each
reads his or her poem to the assembled crowd.
This year one of our very studious YAs had three poems in the children's
top ten. (We had NO IDEA that a poet lurked under his very serious
exterior.) Each poet can submit up to three poems, and I think we had
284 total from both categories.
It's a rewarding experience for the judges, the poets, and the
community.
Good luck.

The following report was not finished when we were discussing Jim
Casey's ideas about keeping school libraries open after school. This
is, of course, just one community's experience, your milage may vary.
And, it may be of interest that the reason for the report was the
public libraries' request for additional staffing. The response was a
request for a report on whether keeping school libraries open later
would answer the need without the necessity of funding additional
public library staff.

Subject: stumper: man & dog grow wings
Hello PUBYAC -
I'm asking your collective intelligence to help me track down a book for
an enthusiastic father and son!
Here are the particulars:
-It's a picture book, probably between 3 and 10 years old.
-It's about a man and his dog (named Ed?) who sprout wings, and go on an
adventure to an island. It ends with them deciding to return to their old
apartment building.
-Possibly by a Russian or Eastern European author/illustrator.
I've checked all standard sources and keyworded several library catalogs
to no avail. Does anyone remember it?
Thank you for your help.

Swim out to the sea.
Hey, hey, hey there croc-o-dile,
Please go the oth-er way,
Hey, hey, hey there, croc-od-dile,
You're chas-ing me a-way.
