Subject: Speakers
To All Pubyaccers,
We are hoping to do a series of programs in the Library in conjunction with
the local Parents As Teachers group. We want to target teenaged mothers
and fathers to encourage them to stay in school, read to their children,
become lifelong readers themselves -tht type of thing. What I need from
you are names of speakers you know are good. We will be paying for these
so I will need to know who, Where and How much.
TIA

I have used Hap Palmer's "Walter the Waltzing Worm" in worm storytimes
for both toddlers and preschoolers. We have used large chenelle pipe
cleaners as our worm and at the toddler program adults wiggle their worm
to the body parts as they are mentioned in the song, preschoolers do it
for themselves.

I have created the following poster which our library's print shop
will be producing for me:
Find a book you can read!
Read one page from a book.
Raise one finger for every word you do not know. Do not count proper
nouns (names of people or places).
When you finish the page and you have . . .
. . . fist = You will read this book quickly. Read it out loud to a
friend.
. . . 1 or 2 fingers = Read this one by yourself. If you like it,
tell a friend about it.
. . . 3 or 5 fingers = You will learn many new words. Ask for help
if you need it.
. . . 5 fingers or more = You have chosen a handful! Read this book
with an older friend.
Graphics of a child's hand holding up the approriate fingers add some
visual appeal.
Thanks for your help everyone!

Lawyers for Libraries II: The Internet and Libraries is a one and 1/2 day
training institute sponsored by the American Library Association Office
for Intellectual Freedom and the American Bar Association Section of
Individual Rights and Responsibilities. The seminar will be held November
13-14, 1998, in Chicago.
Lawyers for Libraries II will train attorneys in the applicability of
First
Amendment law to library policies, procedures and problems, particularly
those relating to the use of the Internet in libraries. The trained
attorneys
will then join the cadre of lawyers who make themselves available to
assist librarians in defending the freedom to read. They will commit to
being "on-call" to libraries and librarians.
Lawyers who might want to attend this training institute should call
Judith
F. Krug, 1-800-545-2433, ext. 4222, before October 15. The application
deadline is October 15, and the limited number of available slots will be
filled on a first-come-first-served basis.
There is no charge for the institute, but participants will be responsible
for covering their own travel. ALA will cover the cost of lodging for
Friday night. If the attendee stays over Saturday, the cost of the room
for that night is $137. Ground transportation to and from O'Hare and
Midway is approximately $15.00 each way by bus; $30.00 each way by
taxi.

Some third grade classes are doing a unit on Earthquakes, Tsunamis,
and Volcanoes. I've been asked to tell a few folktales or legends
from around the world. I'm considering Frog Girl by Lewis and maybe
The Wave by Hodges, but need more ideas. They have to be folklore,
not original stories, and I'm hoping for tales that work especially
well orally. Any suggestions?

We have just opened a new library in our community, so I am in the
process of identifying my homeschooling families and asking them what
they need.
What I am planning to do is create a mailing list of homeschoolers in
our area, publish notices in the local paper and in the regional
homeschooling newsletter. I want to at least provide one or two sessions
of library instruction, similar to when I give classroom tours of the
library. I am also planning to do a program in the spring to promote
Summer Reading Club. Basically, I am planning to provide the same
services to the homeschoolers as I do to in-school population.
We also offer evening family storytimes (ages 3-7) and one Saturday a
month we have a school age program with stories and crafts.
Homeschoolers and all the rest of the community come to these programs.

Greetings,
I would like to apply for a grant to set up a Listening Center in our
public library's children's Dept. Have any of you done this? I would
like suggestions on what listening center equipment to buy. I've looked
thru some catalogs that we have, but everything I've seen looks like it
would be too easy for the kids to pick up and walk off with. I want
something that has a cassette player and CD, that can be bolted to a
table or installed permanently somehow. I do not want a boom box with a
couple of headphones, which is what I've seen so far. I would like to
set this up on a wooden table we have that is already attached to a
wall. Also, is sound-proofing necessary? I expect one or two patrons
will be using the center at a time, rather that a whole class of kids.
The center would be mostly for pre- or beginning readers to listen to
books on tape while they read along, so the equipment should be easy for
little kids to use, and durable.
So... if anyone knows of anything that fits the bill, please email me
directly at: jsimpson03@snet.net
Thanks a bunch! Martha Simpson, Stratford Library
