Subject: Re: Library charges
Julie,
I sympathize with your plight, but libraries have to stay a basically
"free" institution! In Ohio, our funding had always come primairly
from
the state, but our systems have had to go to levies as that source has
become uncertain. Our library cards are free(do charge for replacements)
and fines are 5 cents and 10 cents respectively for children's and adult
materials.
Your situation seems to go to the very core of what libraries have
faced for year-a lack of respect for libraries, librarians and
especially children's librarians! I think we all have to learn to be
advocates of our profession and yes. . . even fighters!

Subject: Re: Internet filters
I'm curious as to whether or not keyword blocking is turned on with your
use of Cybersitter. When we tested it, we found that it blocked all sites
with the word "girl" in it (so we couldn't search on "girl
scouts"), though
it didn't block the word "boy". And the screen simply says that no
results
were found, rather than telling you that the sites were blocked. We
switched to CyberPatrol.

Subject: RE: Strollers in the Library?
If you don't allow strollers, then is there room for a wheelchair to get
through your library. We have to have room, eventhough we have VERY limited
space also! It is also fair to have wheelchair accessability, as some of our
clinets are handicapped and use the libraray for their children or grandchildren

Rubber stamp bookmark making is the way to go, but don't offer
blank sheets of bookmark stock. Instead, offer bookmark raw materials with
one-side blank/the other side filled with library hours, storytimes,
phone numbers, reading recommendations, et cet. That way the kids do
art on the back side of our information.

I wrote a paper this summer for my Database Searching class that looked
at five search engines designed for children and young adults:
1) Yahooligans
2) Kids Catalog
3) KidsClick!
4) JuniorQuest
5) Electric Library
The addresses of all of the databases are given, including those belonging to
other such search engines such as Disney's Dig and Ask Jeeves and over course
a bibliograrphy of the sourses I used in writing the paper. I would be willing
to share
it with anyone interested. Please reply to my address at a_long@ix.netcom.com.

Subject: Home schooling
Just in case you missed my posting a couple of weeks ago I'm posting
this again.
I am interesting to find out about services currently provided to home
schoolers or opinions from homeschoolers on what they use the library
for or what they'd like to see offered by libraries.
I promise I will post results of my inquiry for pubyac readers to share.
I suggest you reply to me directly so as not to bog the listserv.
Thank you for taking the time to respond - I appreciate it.

Hi All! I just found out about booktv. On Sundays at 10AM they have
children's book authors and illustrators. You can watch it on c-span
2. Check out the website:
http://www.booktv.org/children/
Today they had Kathy Jakobsen, who spoke about This Land is Your Land,
and My New York. Did you know she has an animal, Speedy the cat, appear
in almost all the scenes of My New York? Speedy also makes brief
appearances in her other books. Kids love this kind of stuff! I love
it too, one of my favorites is a "Taxi Dog" book (sorry, I'm at home
and
can't remember the exact title), by Debra Barracca, that has cats
throughout the book-- in windows, reflected in eyes, in the shape of a
pocketbook, etc. Great fun! --Diane Mayr

Subject: Taxi Dog title
Hi All! I just checked Amazon.com to see if I could figure out the
exact title of the Taxi Dog book with the gazillion hidden cats, it's
Maxi, the Hero. Aside from the Van Allsburg books, do you know of
others like these with a hunt and search aspect? I know about the Waldo
books and the other series like "Look for..." and "I spy,"
but what I'm
interested in, is a quest aspect that just happens to be an added bonus
and has nothing to do with the story. You know what I mean, right?

Subject: Stories needed
I am supposed to tell stories at our local festival, Lincoln Days, this
coming Saturday. These stories will take place outside on the town
square in between other children's events. I usually try to use stories
in keeping with the theme and/or time period of Abraham Lincoln, but am
really stumped for something different this year. With so many
distractions around, I like to do participation stories that will draw
the kids in and get them involved, but need something new. Any ideas?
Please email me directly at kathy_crawford@hotmail.com
thanks

Subject: History of Youth Services
Hello,
First let me apologize in advance, because I'm cross posting with Yalsa.
I'm a library science student in Queens College (as well as a trainee in BPL)
and am doing a term paper on the history of Youth Services in Public Libraries
in the United States. I'll probably narrow this down further, but I know I
want to concentrate on how it used to be and how it gradually changed. I also
want to include (naturally) any person or system who played tremendous role in
the evolution of youth services.
Does anyone know of any interesting sources I could get a hold of. Perhaps
someone read an article somewhere? Honestly, I haven't started yet. I
thought using the collective brains on these list serves would be a good
start.
TIA for your help.
Esther L.
