The series is called Clue Jr., based on the characters from the Parker Bros.
game. Looking at a few titles, there are different authors, but Scholastic
puts them out and it is a Creative Media Applications production. Thanks to
all who responded!

Okay all you wonderful little helpers!
I am in need of enlisting your help again.
I have a patron who is looking for a book about a dragon who cannot
get along with anybody and the only way he makes friends is to
pop popcorn.
Thank you in advance for your help! This one has really got me stumped!
Thankyou,

Subject: Re: Listening Centers
Jennifer, you didn't give your email address, so I'm trying to contact
you thru Pubyac:
Yours was the most promising response I've received concerning setting
up a listening center. Could you let me know the type of equiptment you
have, and where you got it? Catalogs and how to get ahold of them?
Also, how did you attach it to the floor?
Thanks! Martha Simpson, Stratford Library

Subject: Area/collection name?
Hi to all -
We're in the process of getting new signage for our library, and I'm hoping
that someone has a catchy name for their area.
When you walk in the front door of our library, you're in the
adult/reference/circulation area, so most people can easily figure out
what's there. To get to the "children's" area, you take a right and go
through an arch.
So, how do we let patrons know that through the arch is the children's area?
If it were JUST children (i.e. preschool, elementary) it might be easier,
but the YA area is also here, so calling it "children's department" or
some
such won't work.
"Youth Services" won't work either, since that is what the probation
officers in our county call themselves!
Any ideas?
TIA!!!
