Subject: BIB: summary of teen humor titles (long)

thank you all for your contributions. my eyes are beginning to
cross, so here's the list. i tried to keep with the 1990 cut-off
date unless it was a classic or suggested more than once. the list
ranges from "j" titles to "adult" titles, typical and appropriate for
this age group. also included cynical, dark humor to
slapstick titles. apologies for the errors, and again, thanks!

I have a teenaged patron looking for a book she remembers as a child

recognize this:
A small picture book, with line drawings, very simple. The story: Older
brother is a pest, and thinks of many ways to pester younger sister. At the
end (perhaps, cant remember) they find a way to get along and do things
together. It is NOT "The Quarreling Book" by Zolotow. Anyone?

Subject: Stumper-books on fighting

A state social service agency is looking for books for a seven year old
foster child who has been told by his parents that he is the cause of their
fighting. He has a lot of guilt (naturally) about this, and they are hoping
to find something to read to him that reassures him that he is not the cause
of his parents' problems. The books on divorce that reassure the child he is
not responsible have not been helpful, because all the ones I've looked at
also say things like, "Your parents still love you, and things will be fine,
just different." There is also an addiction problem in the family, so I've
been working on that angle, too. The books I have so far are:
Loretta Holz FOSTER CHILD
Richard Langsen WHEN SOMEONE IN YOUR FAMILY DRINKS TOO MUCH
Judith Vigna I WISH DADDY DIDN'T DRINK SO MUCH

I think they will all help the child, but none of them directly addresses the
issue of guilt over parents' fighting. Any suggestions? Thanks for your
help.

Wow that was fast. Many thanks to Kirsten Edwards who knew the story by
Asimov titled "It's Such a Beautiful Day" from NIGHTFALL AND OTHER
STORIES. Also to Karen G. Jordan for suggesting another story called
"The Elevator" (or "the Magic Door") probably by Asimov or Bradbury
about a mom who never let her son out of his house because she was
worried aobut dirt and disease and stuff. This one is narrated by the
boy who has no idea what the real world is because his mom manipulates
his reality. He goes through a "magic door" and is "transported" to a
different world each time. Bonnie Janssen

_________________________________________________________________

LEGISLATION AND POLICY UPDATE AT ALA ANNUAL CONFERENCE

The June 27 Legislation and Policy Update, sponsored by the ALA
Committee on Legislation, included segments on copyright, E-rate,
Title 44 revision bill, and an opportunity to speak with staff
from the Institute of Museum and Library Services. The ALA
Washington Office made an appeal for action by ALA members to
protect fair use and the E-rate, and to respect local decision-making on
the Internet.

"If there was every a need for 20,000 library advocates to be in
Washington, D.C., now is the time," said Pat Wand, chair of the
Committee on Legislation. Carol Henderson, executive director of
the ALA Washington Office, urged attendees to contact their
members of Congress "any way they could."

The Washington Office has set up an e-mail alert service at
http://congress.nw.dc.us/ala/ that includes sample letters for
ALA members to e-mail to Congress. While Congress is on recess,
ALA members are also urged to call congressional staff at 202-224-3121,
or their visit their member of Congress at their local
district office.

Eric Peterson, staff director of the U.S. Congress Joint
Committee on Printing, and Kennie Gill, Democratic staff director
and chief counsel for the Senate Committee on Rules and
Administration, spoke on efforts to introduce a bill to revise
Title 44 of the U.S. Code, the statute that governs printing and
public dissemination of government information. The bill will be
introduced in July by Sens. Wendell Ford (D-KY) and John Warner
(R-VA) after Congress returns from recess. Gill asked that ALA
members tell stories to their members of Congress about "fugitive
documents" and ask them to support the upcoming Ford/Warner bill.

Tom Sloan, co-chair of the Ad Hoc Subcommittee on Intellectual
Property, summarized the current copyright and fair use issue as
a need to "balance economic interests with information needs" in
the digital environment. He encouraged ALA members to ask
Congress to support the Klug/Boucher amendment to H.R. 2281, the
"WIPO Copyright Treaties Implementation Act" The amendment would
resolve the fundamental flaws in H.R. 2281 that threaten the
future of electronic commerce, technological innovation and
Internet growth.

Tom Kalil, director to the White House's National Economic
Council, cited recent news that the number one constraint on
economic growth in the United States is that companies cannot
hire skilled workers. He said that the Clinton Administration's
concerns include how to continue support for the E-rate, how to
increase the quality of content on the Internet, how to finance
the production of digital libraries, and how to provide training
to the next generation of information professionals. "The
President and Vice President are committed to fighting off any
congressional efforts to derail the E-rate program," he said.

ALA Washington Office Deputy Executive Director Lynne Bradley
introduced Karen Hauptman, a ninth grade student activist from
Bethesda, MD who has organized People for Internet Education.
"We know how important [the E-rate] is," Hauptman said, "and
we've been writing letters" to lobby Congress and raise public
awareness. For more information, e-mail p-i-e@alloymail.com.

Michelle Richards, director of federal programs at the National
School Boards Association, spoke on behalf of the Education and
Library Network Coalition (EdLiNC) and characterized the E-rate
fight as "David and the well-funded Goliath." She added, "The
truth is on our side, and so are the grassroots efforts."

Richards explained that the E-rate is not causing long distance
phone rates to go up, rather, "Rates since February have gone
down 4.5 percent to their lowest rate in history." Adding,
"We're not out of the woods yet," Richards stressed the
importance visiting members of Congress, raising the issue at
local town hall meetings during this congressional recess, and
sending letters to the editor.

The update concluded with the staff from the Institute of Museum
and Library Services, including Diane Frankel, director, and
Betsy Sywetz, deputy director of the Office of Library Services.
IMLS staff members gave brief presentations and took questions.

DEADLINE EXTENDED FOR NATIVE AMERICAN LIBRARY SERVICES GRANT

The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) has announced
the extension of the application deadline for the Basic Library
Services Grants of the Native American Library Services grant
program to Friday, July 31, 1998. According to the IMLS press
release, "This extension will ensure that all eligible tribes

The deadlines for two types of special-purpose grants in the
Native American Library Services grant program, Technical
Assistance Grants and Enhancement Grants, have not been extended.
The Institute of Museum and Library Services published a notice
of the deadline extension for Basic Grants in the Federal
Register and is sending the guidelines to all 1997 grant
applicants who have not submitted applications this year, as well
as to others who have requested them.
