Hi!
We have a patron who needs biographical information on the author
Sinclair Smith for a book report. I have checked all the standard
sources we have (Contemporary Authors, etc.) and have tried an internet
search, but have come up empty-handed. I'd be most grateful for any
information or source you might know of.
You can respond directly to me: YA_JAMES@dayton.lib.oh.us
Thanks!
James.

ubject: ?fairie book
A Patron remembers reading a children's fairy book in the 1970s about a
little girl who was half fairy, half human. One parent was human, one
parent was a fairy. She had a telltale birthmark which proved she was
indeed a fairy, but spent many years ignorant of a fairy heritage. She
grew up near the ocean with a dog guardian. She acquired magical fairy
powers as she grew older. At the conclusion she joins other fairies in
fairyland...
Any ideas of author or title?
Please reply to me directly, rather than the PUBYAC list. Thanks a lot.

Subject: YA Services in urban libraries
YALSA announces new electronic list, discussion group
After surveying the 50 largest public library systems in the
country, the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA), a
division of the American Library Association (ALA), developed an
electronic list and discussion group for librarians serving young adults in
large urban library systems.
Through the list and discussion group, urban library staff
members can network electronically, exchange ideas about programs,
facilities and resources, and seek solutions to common problems.
The electronic list, YA-Urban, will have as its first subscribers
librarians who coordinate young adult services in the systems that
responded to the survey. Directors and other staff members are also
invited to subscribe by contacting the YALSA Office: 800-545-2433, ext.
4390. E-mail: yalsa@ala.org.
The new discussion group, *Serving Young Adults in Large
Urban Populations,* will meet for the first time in Washington, D.C. during
the ALA Annual Conference, on Saturday, June 27, from 2-4 p.m.
Marilee Foglesong, coordinator of Young Adult Services for the New
York Public Library, will be the convenor.
YALSA President Michael Cart initiated the survey after observing
a *renascence of public library service to young adults.* Eighty percent
of the surveys were returned.
*More and more, large libraries and systems seem to be either
restoring moribund programs or launching new ones,* Cart said. *The
responses disclosed great variety in every aspect of young adult
service being offered by large urban libraries--from age of patron served
to type of personnel employed to kinds of services offered.*
Cart said that despite the lack of uniformity in young adult
services, there are some very hopeful signs that point to better service
for young adults in urban libraries, including hiring personnel specifically
for that area.
*At a time when the U.S. Department of Education is predicting
that in the next ten years the nation's schools can expect a 13 percent
increase in the number of students in grades nine through 12, it is in the
best interests of all public libraries to look to their programs and to be
prepared for the increase in use by this age group,* concluded Cart.
For more information contact: Linda Waddle, YALSA, 50 East
Huron Street, Chicago, IL 60611, 800-545-2433, ext. 4391, or

"Read to me riddles

Subject: Stumper: Planes for Bob & Andy
A gentleman in his mid-fifties is dying to get his hands on this
book: Planes for Bob & Andy (his recollection of the title). He
believes it was a chapter book, published in the mid-to-late 30s,
possibly as part of a set designed to encourage reading. He believes
the author was a woman. The plot concerns 2 boys, Bob & Andy, and
their enthusiasm for airplanes. They become interested in flying
when a barnstormer comes to the area to put on a show, and the boys
are conscripted to fill in holes in a field that will act as a
runway. They go on further to fly in a Jenny, which was apparently a
WWI-era training plane. When the story ends, one or both boys ends
up flying for the US Mail.
We have consulted LC, the Children's Catalog, the catalogs of several
major metropolitan libraries, including Boston Public's Children's
Literature Research Collection, and (on a long shot, since the
gentleman couldn't swear the story wasn't published as a short story
in a volume with others) "My Book House." Any ideas? The
gentleman's future happiness rests on finding this book.
Please respond directly to me. Thanks!
