If you subscribe to PUBLIB, you know that the PUBLIB folk get together
regularly at ALAs. I think they're going out for drinks on Fri evening, if
I remember correctly. I know I would be interested in getting together
with other PUBYACkers. It's _hard_ to find a time, though. When would
work? --W

Subject: Re: interview questions
Andrew, I am impressed by the idea of an essay question. It is one I had
not thought of but will put into my list. Thanks so much for sharing
this.
I will also say that as an interviewer, I dislike those who ramble on and
on and on. I do not remember who gave me this advice but it is what I
tend to look for - when you are asked the question, repeat it if
necessary, pause to think, say the answer and shut up. The person who
gave me the suggestion said that when you go beyond the answer, you begin
to spin around and get off track and do more harm than good.
Hope to see you in Washington D.C. this summer.

Have you ever tried using Reader's Theater skits with the kids. It is great fun!
You can get ideas from books like PRESENTING READERS THEATER by Caroline Feller
Bauer or other titles. Check your system libraries for Reader's Theater ideas.
Or, you can make up your own using favorite storytime books. Karen

ubject: Stumper: sandbox/learning (poem)
We have had a request for the copy of the poem: "Everything I learned, I
learned in the sandbox". Checked children's index to poetry, Granger's ,
Firstsearch, Infotrac, our adult reference desk. The only grasp we found
was Fulghum's "...Learned...Kindergarten". It was suggested that
"Sandbox" may have been in one of the "Chicken Soup" titles.
Appreciate
your help. Rich <rmcdonal@prairienet.org>

Subject: Stumper: 1906 Earthquake
Greetings all! A patron is asking for a children's novel, read a few years
ago, although it can be a book published anytime in the last 50 years! She is
sure the family in the story is called Allen (or Alan), and they move into a
mansion in San Francisco, with an aunt or other relative, and live through the
1906 Earthquake. It is not "Shaken Days" by Garthwaite. Any ideas?
Send
them to:
