Subject: Re: access policy for minors
As a branch of the San Mateo County Library, we do not restrict children's
access to library materials.
We require a parent or guardian's signature
for those under 18, but once a child has a card they can check out any
type of material; they may check out tapes, videos, CDs, magazines, etc..
We also do not restrict Internet access. From our Internet Policy:
What about children?
Although we have no age limits a child needs to be able to use the
Internet without librarian assistance. We encourage parent
participation in aiding children.
As with other library materials, restriction of a child's access to the
Internet is the responsibility of the parent or guardian.
Help ensure safe access on the Information Highway - keep in touch with
your child's use of the Internet. We urge parents to
request a copy of "Child Safety on the Information Highway".

Subject: STUMPER--Children's Book Review Magazine
Does anyone know what happened to Children's Book Review Magazine? A
reading professor asked me if I knew whether it was still in existence
or not. He had been receiving it for awhile, but the last issue he got
was Holiday 97, vol. 4, no. 2 (after Spring 97, vol. 4, no. 1). I
checked Ulrich's 1998, and find nothing listed by that title. Publisher
is Grove Communication, P.O. Box 5082, Brentwood, TN 37024-5082. I do
not have an ISSN (sorry!). Thanks for any help you can give me.

Subject: Re: special programs for homeschoolers
Although it is noble that Justin Cooley offers monthly programming for
homeschoolers - two programs actually, I cannot understand how it can be
justified.(His programs sound very good too btw!) If a boy scout troop,
or any other group came and wanted two monthly programs, should a
library do it? I apologize if my biases are apparent, but ongoing
library programs should be for all, not just a select group who wishes
not to partake in public schooling for whatever reason. We give library
tours and make up book bags for homeschoolers just like we do for
schools, but I think two monthly programs are above and beyond our call
of duty.

Subject: Short-term visitors from out-of-town
I have been asked by our circulation desk staff to put this out on
Pubyac:
For those of you in libraries which charge library card fees to
non-resident patrons,
how do you handle the situation of short-term out-of-town visitors who
want
to check out materials from your library? For example:
1. Someone who is visiting a relative/friend for a couple of weeks and
comes in without
their relative (therefore, the relative or friend cannot check items out
for the visitor).
2. Students taking summer classes at a local school; one student
renting a place in town
(and therefore no non-resident fee would be charged), but another
student renting out of
town (normally charged a fee).
Do you have special "short-term" non-resident fees you charge? (e.g,
by
the week or month)
Currently, our shortest period is 3 months.
Thank you,
Rae Kozloff (alib2@sos.net)

Subject: Re: Parent's Choice
Dear PUBYAC,
Yesterday we received a notice that _Parent's Choice_ will be ending
publication with the December 1998 awards. Apparently some of the
functions will be transferred to Wellesley College, but not the magazine
and awards part. This is a shame, as it was a place I looked to for
recommended toys, videos, music, etc. - some of the materials other
folks don't much evaluate.

Hi Wendy,
We have had an after-school program for kids in grades 4-6 here in the
past & the "sure-fire" hits we had were painting T-shirts (with
puffy
paints in tubes, local stores & radio stations donated some shirts, but
we asked kids to bring one to paint), decorating the meeting room for
halloween & a paper airplane contest. Hope this helps!

Subject: Cooking Workshop ideas
Hi!
I have posted this request before (last year sometime) but I'm hoping
for some new ideas so I'm posting again.
I do a Cooking Workshop with students in 5th and 6th grade. I am
looking for ideas for fun, easy, semi-quick things to make with them. It
is a weekly program that meets weekly until mid-December. I have an
hour with them and it is all for fun...it does not have to "tie in"
with
any sort of literary theme.
In the past, some of the foods that we cooked with sucessful results
were Chocolate Chip cookies, Pizza, Cupcakes, Pancakes, Falafel, Caesar
salad, Brownies, Rice Krispie Treats, Grilled Cheese Sandwiches, French
Toast and Baked Ziti. As you can see, they are all fairly boring. I
really would like to jazz it up a bit while still using some of the old
faithfuls. The only problem I have is that a lot of the kids are Kosher
and I try to keep it as Kosher as I can. I usually don't use any meat
and buy Kosher ingredients and that suffices.
Any great ideas out there? I appreciate any and all ideas.... Thanks
in advance! My class starts Monday...
