Subject: Disney Adventures - Spanish edition
Is anyone out there aware of a Spanish language version of the
children's magazine Disney Adventures? A co-worker heard that there was
one, but I'm unable to verify if it really exists. My library would
like to subscribe if I can get the information.
TIA!

ubject: wolf program
My name is Marianne Ramsden and I am the branch head at a fairly small
library in Scottsville, VA. I have been reading pubyac for many years and
found much valuable information. This is the first time we have actually
needed help from all of you. We are planning a program for all ages on
March 19 centered on wolves. We have pretty much planned everything for the
older age groups (8 and up). What we are looking for are catchy little
songs, fingerplays and possibly easy activities for the preschoolers. We
expect around 35-40 participants in all with maybe half under the age of 8.
Please send any suggestions to me : mramsden@avenue.org
Thanks a lot!

Subject: Music for Kids
Here is the list of suggestions I received regarding great performers and
titles of CDs and cassettes worth purchasing.
John McCutcheon
Tom Paxton
Tom Chapin
"Coconut Moon" by Green Chili Jam Band
Hap Palmer
Ella Jenkins
Trout Fishing in America-"Big Trouble"(Appeal to different ages)
Gemini
Song sisters
Priscilla Herdman (lovely lullabye cassette)
Joe Scruggs
Babysongs
Barry Louis Polisar (the anti-Raffi)
Sweet Honey in the Rock-""All for Freedom" & "I got
Shoes". Great African-
and multicultural songs.
Jim Gill-"Jim Gill Sings the Sneezing Song" & "Jim Gill Makes
it Noisy in
Boise, Idaho"
Wee Sing
Cathy Fink & Marcy Marxer
Frank Cappelli
Bill Harley
Sally Rogers
I'll get them all.
Other suggestions were to continue to buy cassettes. Buy both if it is
popular, if listen along, get on cassette, if larger appeal, CD, depends
on economics of area, cassettes more common in cars and are cheaper.
Other places to look:
Silo catalog
ALA Notable Children's Recordings
Educational Record Center catalog
Borders, KMart, and stores which carry popular materials.
Thanks to everyone again.

Subject: Censorship - MLS student
I've been lurking on the list for a few weeks now and have found it
fascinating. As a future children's librarian I have been impressed
with your dedication to your patrons, your jobs and your passion for
children's literature.
All right, enough buttering up ;) But seriously, I am hoping that the
list can be of help to me. I am beginning a research paper on
"censorship of children's books by public libraries in the 1990s" and
wonder if anyone here has any suggestions of resources I could use,
particularly those that contain facts, not just editorials. I have
already begun my search using LISA and Library Literature, but I'm sure
that there is plenty more out there that experienced librarians would be
aware of.
Thanks in advance.

Does anyone know of a one-stop source or access to information about
children's and YA authors on the Internet. I already have the list
compiled by David K. Brown on the children's Lieterature Web Guide and the
one on the Internet Public Library Youth Division. Are there any others.
Please send the information to me directly and I will compile a list for
pubyac.
Thanks for your help.
