Subject: program brochures/flyers and tiger puppets
1. Program Flyers/brochures
We would like to revamp our program flyer/brochure to be more effective and
are looking for ideas. If you have a program flyer or booklet that you think
is effective and well designed, we would appreciate a sample or description.
You could send it by mail or fax. I will list the address and fax number
below.
Currently programs for children are listed on flyers by location for a month
at a time. We are open to all ideas to market programs more effectively.
2. Puppets
One of our staff members longs for a tiger, a BIG tiger puppet and all we have
been able to locate are small hand versions. If you have suggestions, please
send them our way.

Subject: End the censorship discussion!
Amy, thanks you! Hear, hear! Let's end it--once and for all--public
libraries may not act it loco parentis for families. Parents have the
right to determine what their OWN child does or reads, government
entities do not unless they are a group such as a school. I sure don't
want any right wing politician or outraged religious group deciding what
my child gets from the library--that is up to me.

Subject: Re: Summer Reading Registration
Could this query be discussed on the list? The way I see it, the
quicker and more organized the SRP registration process, the more time we
have to spend focusing on the child and his or her reading interests.
We're on Dynix and I have discussed with our Systems Administrators the
possibility of wanding in library cards and putting a simple mark in an
empty field to indicate SRP registration, and it seems doable. But
figuring out the details and making allowances for out-of-town children
visiting grandparents for the summer or parents who have several children
and don't want each child to have a card has always kept the project in a
low priority pile. I am beginning to think no one out there has automated
SRP registration. Am I wrong?

Thank you to all who responded to my request for stories of humorous ways kids
have stated requests for materials. Albeit long overdue, here are some you
shared.
A request for goat karts.
Gynecology for geneology.
Afghans--the blankets, dogs, or people.
A request for the geography of tuna, that is Tunisia.
a request for any craft books--it turned out to be a report on cheese and the
request was for books on Kraft Cheese.
A request for a book about boats with big rubber bands--determined to be a
request for books about aircraft carriers.
A request from a child for books about doctors, not finding what he wanted in
the 600s, it turned out he wanted Dr. Seuss books.
An adoloscent boy asked for the book "Poison Sex" and it turned out he
wanted
"Boys and Sex."
The request for a biography of Rosetta Stone, some woman found in Egypt.
A child requesting a book called "My Friend Scuba Diver" for Brinton
Turkle's "My Friend, Obediah."
An adult who asked for "reproductive" tax forms. She meant to say
"reproducible."

Those who care about children and their literature should visit this well
done site to inform themselves on the latest thinking on children books.
Kay E. Vandergrift has compiled and hyperlinked this Web site to the many
powerful African American images revealed in picture books.
Even for the youngest children who "read" pictures as adults share
text,
illustrations can have a powerful influence on their perceptions of the
world. Strong visual images of those similar to themselves, their friends,
and their families are life-affirming and can encourage children to reach
beyond the boundaries of their immediate life experiences and consider a
multitude of possibilities for their futures.

When I was an omnivoriously reading child,my parents never told me that I
could not read a certain book.My mother might say," I don't think you would
like this book" which ,of course , I took as a clue that it was probably a
really good adult type book, for example , Gone With the Wind , and I then
read it with enthusiam.
My father's technicque was to put his favorite classics out of my reach on
the top shelf and then say to me," I'm not sure I want you reading my
favorite books.You might get them dirty." So behind his back, as I now
expect
he had planned, I happily read War and Peace and Les Miserables,etc.,feeling
that I was putting something over him.

PUBYAKKERS [sic]: I want to remind those who want to filter the net that
the series of books published long after I was in school might be filtered
out--and not because of Puff and Jane.
Karen Schneider's superb writing and presentation about filters is
"must"
reading.
Recently, I used a filtered computer to ascertain how silly filterers could
be. I wanted info on multiple births and was informed on the screen that
such info was not available. I figured it out: sextuplets. I am not
planning to engage in multiple births, for those who may have been
concerned.
PRIVATE AND PERSONAL THEORY: People who wish to ghettoize children on WWW
are not protecting children; they are protecting their own butts. (And
that would be filtered out, too.)
Even scarier are those "smart cards" which can keep a record of what
children have accessed. When, I wonder, will parolees be issued such
"smart cards"? Scary. Reminds me of Hawthorne's story, "Earth's
Holocaust" (I think that's the name. I'll check it when I can find my way
to that bookshelf. But it does deal with a bonfire--and what people choose
to toss in.) Personally, I think adults who want filtering should be
allowed to filter themselves and let the kids find out what they need to
know or think they need to know. As we write on walls, "Filter you!"
Didn't the Nazis filter pretty thoroughly? Savonarola lives.

Subject: Re:Censorship debate
Hi Fellow Pubyackers,
After reading all of the postings on this subject I decided to throw in
my own contribution. As a child I loved to read. I read everything I
could get my hands on and that included my parents books. They didn't
notice any of this until I was 15 because they thought my obsession w/
reading was a form of brain damage (they had both been jocks who
tolerated academics when they had to) . My mother saw that I was on the
4th book of the Bicentenial series by John Jakes, actually picked it up
and read a couple of pages, and nearly had a heart attack. She ran to
my father and screamed that I was reading filth and they needed to put a
stop to it NOW. My father looked sort of bemused (I think it was a
Friday and he was on his way to a golf game) and told her that since I
was on the 4th book, didn't she think maybe it was about 3 1/2 books too
late? My mother went off in a huff and never mentioned it again. I
should also add that the library I grew up in (Granville Public, bless
their hearts) and particularly the Children's Librarian, at that time,
never said a word to me about what I read in the window seat of the
Children's Department for hours on end and she didn't even yell at me
when she new darn well that I had candy hidden behind the seat cushion.
My own children read what they want and have not suffered any permanent
damage from all the R. L. Stine books they have read. I guess my
opinion on censorship is colored by the fact no one ever told me "No".
I really don't believe in blocking children from print materials by word
or deed (and yes, I would have interloaned that Madonna book for a 13
year old if he had put in a request, because I figure if the book gets
home and his parents see it , then it is up to them to have a fit about
it).
I do believe in having the same internet access for adults and
children, I don't believe in filters for public libraries, but I do
believe in abiding by local statutes on internet pornography. Until
someone figures out a way to keep child pornography off the internet I
will not be in favor of full access on public terminals. I don't
consider this to be a side issue, or a minor issue- I consider it to be
a really major problem. If anyone has questions about how serious this
is, you are welcome to send an e-mail to Adam Walsh's father. If anyone
doesn't know who that is check out the America's Most Wanted website.
Happy reading and surfing!

dying ("When Dinosaurs Die") and a pet video "Paws, claws,
feathers and fins."
I also passed along your kind words and suggestions for helping the child
deal with loss. Thanks again...

Subject: pirate poems and fingerplays
PU>Hello again,
PU>For National Library Week (which happens to be spring break for the public
PU>schools here), we are having Pirate Week! Everything is pretty much
PU>planned out (pirate films, guest parrot program, recycled pirate hats for
PU>Earth Day...), but we have no pirate fingerplays, and would like to have a
PU>"pirate poetry reading".
PU>Any pirate poems and/or fingerplays would be most appreciated! Or good
PU>sea-related stuff, too!
"Ten fierce pirates sailed the 7 seas,
Looking for rich vessels to seize;
One, irritated, made a very rude sign;
Another pirate stabbed him, and then there were NINE.
Nine fierce pirates sailed the 7 seas,
Looking for rich vessels to seize;
One stole some gold pieces from the first mate;
They made him walk the plank, and then there were EIGHT...
The inherent possibilities here could get rather interesting if you
were raised a little differently; use your imaginations, people- the
sky's the limit!
