Subject: source for a fairy tale?

Hi, I need to call on the collective brain of PUBYAC. I'm reviewing a
book called The Blind Fairy. It has a lot of traditional folktale
elements, but I can't tell if it is an original story or a fairytale. I
've checked Read's Storyteller's Sourcebook with no luck, and the Index
to Fairytales. The basic plot is that a blind fairy is being tricked by
dwarves who have overrun her castle. They tell her everything is
beautiful and right, but are stealing from her, making mayhem, etc. When
her sight is restored, she throws the dwarves out.
If this sounds familiar, or you know some variation, please let me know!
Any help is appreciated.
Sincerely,
Robin

Subject: "morphing" books & 2 stumpers

As in the "invasion" of the Animorphs reaches my library I am trying to
find other books "like them" for avid readers. I will put in a subject
heading (doesn't seem to be a legit LC heading, yet!;-) ) - will
probably use "shape shifting".

I have brainstormed a list of children's and YA chapter books (not
picture books) that deal with humans that can change (or are changed)
into an animal or an animal that changes into a human. Some I know,
others I got out of _Fantasy Lit. for Children_.

Please send me other titles and I'll post the complete list. If I'm
wrong about a title, please let me know! Also, two stumpers - stories
I've read but can't remember title/author.

Stumper 1) Kids are turned into ants and have adventures in an ant
hill. Chapter book - probably written in 60's.

Stumper 2) chapter book about a boy who can send his mind into animals,
at the end he leaves his mind in one (maybe an eagle), author might by
Malcolm Bosse


Ok - here's the list!

Alexander, Lloyd _Cat who wanted to be a man_
Anderson _Going through the gate_
Bacon, Peggy _Magic touch_
Bethancourt, TE _Dog days of Arthur Cane_
Coville, Bruce _Jennifer McMurtley's toad
" _Monster's ring_

James, Mary _Shoebag_
Kindl, Patricia _Owl in love_
Klause, Annette _Blood and chocolate_

Can't wait to hear about more!

Happy morphing!

Subject: Stumper - William Matrimmatoe

A grandmother called the Boulder City Library after reading the book _My
Great Aunt Arizona_ by Gloria Houston to her grandaughter. The book
talks about children living in the Blue Ridge Mountains about 100 years
ago. In the book is the line, "At recess they played games like tag and
William Matrimmatoe." The litte girl wants to know what William
Matrimmatoe is. I have checked _Searne's Encyclopedia of Games_ and some
assorted books on party and outdoor games. Does anyone know any thing
about this game? (I admit, she's got me curious too!)

Subject: Several stumpers

Hello all.

I have several (well, six!) stumpers for you all.
If you can help, please respond to me directly; I will
post answers to the list.

Thank you for your shared knowledge!

Nicole Reader
Children's Librarian
Benicia (CA) Public Library

Book 1
Picture book read in the late 1960s. A lazy little boy
designs a machine to help him get ready in the morning;
it bathes and dresses him. After an electrical storm
the machine goes haywire and chaos ensues.

Book 2
Picture book, smaller format, turquoise cover. All
characters are Australian animals: spiny anteater,
wombat, koala. A frightening lizard threatens to eat
an animal hiding up a tree; afraid to come down, the
animal somehow tricks the lizard into eating a
distasteful dummy of itself instead.

Book 3
Novel (the patron thinks it's an adult novel, but I'm
not so sure) with a pre-1950 publication date. May
have the words "green" and "witch" in the title. A
witch switches a rich and a poor baby; at the end there
are happy family reunions.

Book 4
Novel, written for 9 to 12 year olds, read in the late
1970s. Perhaps by a British author: there are some
Briticisms (such as "tea-cozy"), puns, and word
puzzles. The main character, a girl perhaps named
"Anna Lavina," notices the sky has turned "lavender
blue" and sets off into the desert to a mirage oasis.
The words "oasis" or "nowhere" may be in the title.
The patron thinks there may have been a sequel.

Book 5
Picture book, perhaps nonfiction, used with a first
grade class in 1958. Entitled "Slim Green," it is
about a snake. Patron needs author information, or
anything else she can find.

Book 6
Picture book, also used with a first grade class in
1958. Entitled "Stick-In-the-Mud," it is about a
South American boy who builds a house on stilts to
survive the flood season. Again, patron needs author
info, plus anything else she can find.

Subject: Stumpers

Just joined PUBYAC and am enjoying reading the mail, especially the
stumpers. Of course, I'm doing a lot of "ooh, ooh!" but can't remember the
titles either.

here's one I've been looking for for a long time. A poem, rather long and
schmaltzy, about a boy on a train with his father. the little boy is being
rather obnoxious to the other passengers, but the father asks the people to
be understanding because the little boy's mother is in the baggage car.
They are taking her home to be buried. This is a really old poem I
remember reading and a patron asked me about it several years and several
libraries ago.
Thanks.

Hi to all on pubyac,
Thank you to all who responded to my query.
I have received several responses suggesting
Something From Nothing by Phoebe Gilman.
By the additional information included by
several of you, I'm sure this must be the
book my patron is looking for, although I am not
familiar with it myself.
Thanks again. I am still in school and also,
working in a public library, so I have much to
absorb. I am grateful for, not only the answers
to the questions I've posed, but also for the ones
I didn't think to ask yet. I appreciate your sharing.

ACTION ALERT: AMENDMENTS BY SENS. MCCAIN AND COATS ATTACHED TO
APPROPRIATIONS BILL; CONTACT YOUR SENATORS
_________________________________________________________________

ACTION ALERT: AMENDMENTS BY SENS. MCCAIN AND COATS ATTACHED TO
APPROPRIATIONS BILL; CONTACT YOUR SENATORS

In a carefully orchestrated move that left Senate opponents
scrambling, Sens. John McCain (R-AZ) and Dan Coats (R-IN) on July
21 attached S. 1482 and S. 1619 to the Commerce, Justice, State
and Judiciary appropriations bill. By doing so, they effectively
blocked Sen. Conrad Burns (R-MT) from offering his Internet Use
Policy amendment as a substitute for Sen. McCain's proposal.

Sen. Coats' bill is S. 1482, a bill to prohibit commercial Web
distribution of material that is "harmful to minors." Sen.
McCain's bill is The School Internet Filtering Act (S. 1619), a
bill which would require all E-rate eligible schools and
libraries to install filtering software on some or all of their
computer terminals in order to get the E-rate.

With only a handful of Senators on the floor, both the Coats and
McCain bills were adopted by voice vote as "amendments" just
after the Senate reconvened. Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA), spoke in
favor of S. 1619. Sen. Coats' bill was offered as an amendment to
the appropriations legislation; Sen. McCain's bill was offered
as an amendment to the Coats bill.

The Burns amendment would require local use policies as a
prerequisite for participating in the E-rate rather than have a
federal mandate requiring filtering on all Internet-accessible
school computers and on at least one computer in each public
library. However, it is unclear at this writing whether there
will be an opportunity for Sen. Burns to also add his proposal
onto the appropriations bill or to force a debate between the
McCain and Burns approaches.

Later in the floor debate, Sen. Burns said:

"...I continue to believe that local communities acting
through their school and library boards, rather than
software programs that are, at best, questionable, or the
federal government, are in the best position to make
decisions on this critical issue."

At this writing the full appropriations bill has not yet passed.
The Senate continues to debate a number of other amendments, many
of which are also not germane to appropriations issues. There
could yet be other strategies used by Senate opponents to S. 1482
and S. 1619 to try other ways to remove the language from the
appropriations bill or at least give some other alternative for
conference committee with the House version.

ACTION NEEDED: Please protest the adoption of Sen. McCain's
E-rate filtering amendment (S. 1619) and the Sen. Coats'
amendment (S. 1482) to the Commerce, Justice, State and Judiciary
appropriations bill by contacting your Senators, including Senate
Majority Leader Trent Lott (R-MS) and Senate Minority Leader Tom
Daschle (D-SD). The U.S. Capitol Switchboard number is 202-224-3121.

THE MESSAGE:
(1) ASK for Senate debate on other approaches to guiding
Internet access.
(2) EMPHASIZE that local use policies and decisions made by
local library and school boards are the best way to serve
students and library users.
(3) STRESS that federal mandates are not appropriate or
necessary for E-rate participation.

BACKGROUND: In the past few weeks both Sens. McCain and Coats
made efforts to bring their bills to the floor. Because of the
controversial nature of the bills and the pre-recess schedule,
unanimous consent was needed but neither Senator was successful.
By attaching both measures to the appropriations bill, the two
Senators bypassed the process of getting unanimous consent. They
also avoided any serious debate on the merits of their
legislation, repeating the pattern similar to the Communications
Decency Act--passing suspect legislation without full
consideration of the constitutional questions.

For now librarians seeking E-rate discounts must wait and see
whether filtering and blocking the Internet becomes a condition
for E-rate participation. More will be reported as soon as
further action is taken in Congress.

Subject: ALSC Leadership Institute

Prepare Yourself to Meet the Challenges of the Future

The Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC) and the
American Library Trustee Association (ALTA) are joining with the
Reference & User Services Association (RUSA) in presenting
two leadership institutes with several joint sessions to be held
October 29-31 at the Westin Hotel in Indianapolis, Indiana. Both
leadership institutes will help prepare today's librarians to meet
the challenges of the future. ALSC and ALTA's second National
Institute is Up the Leadership Ladder: Excellence in Library
Service. RUSA's Institute is Serving Users in the New
Millennium: Planning, Delivering, Evaluating.

Both Institutes will begin on Thursday, October 29 with a dinner
followed by an Opening General Session. The session,
featuring Ann Symons, ALA President, William R. Gordon, ALA
Executive Director, and a keynote address by Jim Fleck,
nationally known speaker and library board trustee, will set the
theme with a discussion of library services and leadership in
the 21st Century. Other joint sessions will include a lunch on
Friday featuring Anne Kappler, partner at Jenner & Block and
attorney for the Freedom to Read Foundation, who will address
intellectual freedom issues and current legislative initiatives in
this field. Friday evening, there will be an opportunity for
participants to unwind at a reception at the Eiteljorg Museum of
American Indians and Western Art. Saturday morning breakfast
will include a presentation by Paul O. Zelinsky, the 1998
Caldecott Medal winner for Rapunzel.

RUSA's Serving Users in the New Millennium: Planning,
Delivering, Evaluating is designed to provide practical hands-on
training for librarians and administrators on how to plan, deliver,
and evaluate future library services. Participants will choose one
of the following day and a half workshops: *The Other
Revolution: Creating User Focused Libraries*; *Process
Improvement for Customer-Centered User Services;* or
*Assessing Current and Future Reference Services.*

ALSC/ALTA's Up the Leadership Ladder: Excellence in Library
Service will offer nine workshops including: *Born to Read:
How to Nurture a Baby's Love of Learning;* *The Caldecott at
Sixty;* *Principles and Techniques of Fund Raising;*
*Computers in Your Library: Now That You've Got Them What
Do You Do With Them;* and *Recruiting and Retaining a Library
Director.*

The cost for the three-day institute is $295 for ALSC, ALTA or
RUSA members; $345 for ALA members and $395 for
non-members. Registration includes Thursday dinner, Friday
lunch, two breakfasts and a reception, plus materials. For
