In answer to my previous inquiry:
Just an FYI to those who were interested in the new movie PLEASANTVILLE
(in which books play a major role). The director of the film, Gary Ross,
is a former Library Commissioner (board member/trustee) for the Los
Angeles Public Library. This was varified by a call to the LAPL. I was
hoping he was a former librarian, but commissioner will have to do... ;->
Thank you to those who responded.

We have an internet accessible computer in the children's area that we
limit to children in grades 6 and under. Preschoolers and/or
non-readers can use the computer with adult help. Children sign on to
use the computer for an hour at a time; limited to one use per day. We
do make adults wait to use the three adult internet accessible computers
if they are all in us.

Subject: Re: Adult use of children's internet stations
We do not restrict access to either the children's or the adults'
Internet computers by age--we felt it would be in direct
contravention of our policy not to restrict access to print materials
by age. What we have done is set the time limit in the children's
room to 30 minutes and the limit in the adult room to 60, except
between 2-5, when the limit goes down to 30 minutes. In this way, we
have enough turnover that most people are guaranteed a turn.
Practically, all computers are used mostly by adults (using the term
loosely) during the school day and then dominated by kids in the 2-5
period. No one has gotten huffy about the time limits or the
open-access policy (on these grounds, anyway).

Right now I have only one graphic internet workstation in the children's

children around. Obviously, when there are no children, adults are
allowed to use it, but I make it clearthat it is primarily for
children. The biggest problem has been the older teens more than the
adults. I do tell the oldre teens, 14 and up, that they have to wait
for a terminal on the adult side to use.

Subject: Adult use of children's computers
We used to let adults use our cd rom computers (actually, they were
apples) long ago. We stopped doing that when we had problems with our
homeless men who wanted to play PAC MAN all day (okay, I admit it - I
killed PAC MAN one day) ...and one of the guys we
discovered had a court order to stay away from children! And the smell
was horrible. So we stopped
letting adults use them, as well as Internet. We put signs on the
computers saying for children only...and we explain to people (or try)
that we are attempting to keep this area safe for children (including
THEIR children) - that kids can't use adult computers - that this is THEIR
space, no matter how many children are actually here at the moment. This
is my pet peeve, as you can tell. Adults who think their needs rank over
children's no matter what (how many times do you have adults interrupting your
work with a child? )
Consider a safe child policy with includes the idea that your space is
meant to be a safe place for children. We have had signs on our tables
saying they are for children and parents, or educators. And we do ask
people to move to adult services.
What a world, huh? But I feel my first obligation is the children's
needs, not the adults.

literature to undergraduate and graduate elementary education majors.
Recently, one of my grad students read _Out of the Dust_ and raved about
it, but then added that she wondered whether it had any appeal to children
or whether it was too painful or too adult for them. While I've seen
feedback on a number of other titles, I've never heard about children's or
young adults' responses to this book. Does the book circulate? Do children
seem enthusiastic about it? Have librarians received any feedback on it?
Feel free to send responses directly to me and I'll try to post a

If your library does food activities with its story time . Here is an
excellent and nutritious idea for a Halloween theme. You can create
pumpkin faces
1. First the children get a circle cookie cutter and use it to make
the head of pumpkin out of bread.With the cookie cutter they have
created bread circles.
2.Then you have the children mix their own cup of cream cheese with
orange food coloring.
3. The children can use plastic knives and spead the now orange cream
cheese on the bread circle.
4.After the circle is completely covered with orange cream cheese the
children can decorate the face with raisins to make the eyes , nose
and mouth of the
pumpkin.

Subject: Re: Adult use of children's internet stations
We have seven Internet terminals in our small municipal library (serving
an immediate population of ~42,000, although we are part of a large
metropolitan area).
We decided at the outset of offering public access Internet stations that
the one station in the Children's Department would be available only to
those who have children's library cards, i.e. age 12 and under. This
addresses the question of 'appropriate use' as well as having a station
that librarians can use to show young people how to look something up on
the Internet. (We do not give detailed training, but do get chidlren
started on their searched from time to time.)
Most of the problems arising are from young adults who try to pretend
they are still 12, not from adults, who know they can't make that claim!

Janis,
We are beginning the process of adding an Internet workstation in the
Children's Room at our central library. All the branches have public Internet
access, and at the Main Library there are several public Internet workstations
at the adult Reference desk. We have decided that the Children's Room
workstation will be reserved for use by children and their parents. Adults
have other points of access, and we don't want children to be pushed off their
own equipment by adults who by their very size can be intimidating. We plan to
have a search engine designed for children, such as Yahooligans, as the
default, both to encourage children to seek appropriate sites, and to
discourage adults from attempting to use this computer. Of course, I must
admit it will be easier for us to implement this policy because the Children's
Room is in the basement, away from the adult service desks, and "Out of
sight
is out of mind!" (we hope)
Good luck,

Subject: Really Wonderful Clip Art Source
Hi Fellow Pubyackers!
I'm so excited about an email I received today. I had used several gifs
from a particular site on the Children's Page as well as the Young Adult's
Page, after reading about their policy of allowing free access and use,
except for "corporate" sites. Then, another site I visited stated they
considered "non-profit" sites the same as corporate ones. I was really
worried, because I have used heavily from the Animation Factory site and
wondered if I had violated their copyright.
To make a long story shorter, I emailed them and I'll cut and paste the
reply:
"We have no problem with the use of our gifs that you describe. You are
not trying to make any money
from your site and it provides a worthwhile free service. We're glad you
enjoy our gifs and feel free to continue using them. If you haven't done
so already, please consider providing a link to the Animation Factory so
that proper credit is given for the source of the graphics."
I highly recommend, if you would like a few animated gifs for your site, to
visit it! (I did go ahead and buy the single animated gif CD, but it was
not necessary)

Subject: Redwall
Hi,
Thank you to those people who gave me ideas for doing a Redwall program. sorry I
have been so long in getting back to those people who expressed an interest in
the ideas. I figured I'd post to the list for everyone's benefit.
Using www.redwall.org as a start, I pulled information on Brian Jacques and his
books, plus cross-word puzzles and trivia questions. The program I am doing is
for three 1 hour sessions. This is what I plan to do:
Week 1--Trivia contest using question based on REDWALL and MOSSFLOWER. Winner
gets a book. I will then read the biography of Brian Jacques from redwall.org
and information on upcoming books and movies. From there, I will start a
discussion about which
book the kids liked best and why. www.carolhurst.com/titles/redwall.html has
suggestions for discussion questions. I will finish the session with booktalks
about other books like REDWALL and with food, of course. Probably fruit tarts
and hazelnuts.
Week 2--We will start making shields from cardboard. I will have a few examples
of different shield shapes and designs. The kids will look at articles and books
on heraldry and use stencils or draw freehand whatever designs they want on the
shield. The
n they can start painting the shields.
While they are doing this, I will be reading from Brian Jacques SEVEN STRANGE
TALES (or whatever the title is) and maybe from THE GREAT REDWALL FEAST. Scones
and fruit juice will be served.
Week 3--Finish shields, play a variation of 20 questions using characters from
the books and more food, discussions and booktalking.
That's the plan. Other ideas I'm not going to use included making banners,
standards or tapestries using muslin and stencils or yarn, making helmets,
creating costumes for kids or for stuffed animals--I have a hamster puppet for
which I have made a bow,
quiver, arrows and Robin Hood cap. Dueling with hard breadsticks, arrow shooting
contest and the like are also possible.
Hope this helps anyone else thinking of doing such a program. Thanks again to
those who offered suggestions.
