Subject: STUMPER: PHOEBE
A patron is looking for a book similar to "Are you there God, it's me
Margaret" in which the main character's name is Phoebe. She remembers it
being around in the 1970s or so and the cover had a young girl under a
tree with a book. If anyone knows this coming of age story, my patron
(and I) would be most grateful!

A patron has requested a book from me that have no clue what it is.
She recalls the title as Miss Rumpius and is about a lady who spreads
purple flowers around.
That is all we know.
Can anyone help us?

Thank you to all who knew about Miss Rumphious. I did not, and no I am
not new, just more of a chapter book kinda person. I also didn't play much
with spelling in our database. I have the title and now the book will be
added, since the patron was asking because she wants to donate it to our
branch.
Thanks to all

Because she has a young son, a colleague on our staff wants to put together
a bibliography of books that might be helpful to boys. Specifically, she's

levels, including picture books, that speak to these aspects of boys'
growth and development:
Finding Themselves
Individuality and Acceptance
Creativity
Growth and change
Becoming Men
Courage
Fairness
Responsibility
Strength and Gentleness
Friendship, Loyalty, and Love
Fathers and Family Life
Fun
Humor
Adventure
Wonder
Wonderful PUBYACers -- do you have any suggestions?

Subject: Update on Mainstream Loudoun v. Board of Trustees
According to attorneys for Mainstream Loudoun, as reported by Declan
McCullagh, Judge Brinkema handed down this order today in the
Mainstream Loudoun v. Board of Trustees:
"Having reviewed the voluminous pleadings and exhibits submitted in this
case with great care and agreeing with the parties, all of whom have
submitted motions for summary judgment, that the current record is
sufficient to allow the court to decide summary judgment, the Court has
determined that an evidentiary hearing is not required. The Court will
decide the motions currently pending on the papers and issue a
memorandum opinion within the next few weeks."

Hello all,
We need to pick the collective PUBYAC brain. We have had some requests for
books about children's safety (safety at home and in the community). Does
anyone have a favorite book or series that is relatively new (last couple

Subject: YA fiction video collections
Please excuse my duplicate posting to Publib.
Our public library acquires fiction videos for our juvenile and adult
patrons. We have never specifically acquired fiction videos which may only
be of interest to the YA patron, although there are certainly items in the
adult collections which are of interest to both patron groups. I have been
asked to develop a collection profile, for discussion, for a YA fiction
video collection. If anyone is willing to share your policies, practices,
procedures regarding such a collection I would be most grateful.
Thank you.

Subject: Stumper/sunflower
We had a lady come in today that remembers a story that her mother used to
tell her and her sister. The lady is probably in her late 50s/early 60s.
She called it "The Legend of the Sunflower". The story tells about the
sunflower doing something naughty and that is why it hangs its head down.
I have checked the following:
our computer system using key word search
"The Storyteller's sourcebook" by MacDonald
"Hidden Stories in Plants" by Pellowski
"What's in the Names of Flowers" by Limburg
Thanks for your help!

Subject: Help! Need books about respect for 8yr old
Hi All!
I need help from the wise today.
A teacher has come in looking for books on respect for her eight year
old daughter. She is looking for picture books, easy readers or
beginning chapters. Any form of respect will do but she is looking for
titles that promote respect from a child to an adult or to other
children as individuals, not as a tool to teach about prejudices.
Manners books did not cover what she is looking for. I really
appreciated the list recently posted for young adults but couldn't find
anything in archives for a younger crowd.
I am brain dead and stumped. I leave for a week's vacation tomorrow and
thus have unsubscribed to PUBYAC. So please, if you have any thoughts,
reply to me directly and not to the list so my staff can receive the
suggestions and pass them on.
Thank you thank you thank you.
Melissa
