Subject: toddler storytimes
Hey all:
I am a student at Louisianna State University. I am doing a research
project on storytime for 3-5 year olds. The main issues I am interested are
the pros and cons of allowing parents into the room or not allowing them in.
There are some good arguments for both in regard to child developement.
But, I need to know what public libraries are doing and why. I am very
interested in whether or not you have a policy and how you derived it.

Subject: Clifford program
We are planning a Clifford (the big red dog) program/visit for next week,
and have been working on what activities to include. We have some ideas,
but your vast wisdom and creativity would be greatly appreciated. Any
activity ideas? (We expect a large crowd, so we'll be doing the program
twice on the same night.)
Thanks for your help!

Subject: Library Tour Help Request
Our public library is exploring the possibility of charging for some
library tours. We currently do a large number of jobs search and
businesses (mainly outplacement firms) tours. General library tours are
also done for elementary and secondary school classes. The experience of
other (particularly public) libraries would be helpful in our deciding
whether and who to charge for tours. Policy statements would be
particularly useful. This request for help has been cross-posted to
several listserves. Please reply directly to Pat Tripp Business Library,

Subject: Internet Education
Does anyone have any kind of self-guided Internet learning program set up?
I'd also like to look at Internet Scavenger Hunts, but I'm more concerned
with something the kids can sit down with at the terminals and get a feel
for searching before sending them out on a hunt (I'm trying to educate -
not frustrate). Please respond directly to me, I'll summarize for the list
if anybody wants. TIA!

Subject: Re: Chocolate War
We have had a similar situation with the video _Stand By Me_ for the
same reasons. We explained to the parent that we serve BOTH the
children and the Young Adults of the county and need to have materials
to meet the needs of both groups. We also offered to put a message on
his file that movies could only be checked out if a parent was with him
(which was accepted by the parent).
We are currently going through a renovation and are adding a small, but
definable YA room and are planning on moving _Stand By Me_ and several
other videos in there once the room is completed. Hopefully, we'll then
have room for more 'kid' videos, a YA video rack to attract more YAs,
and one fewer parent complaint! :)

Subject: guidelines commercial reading clubs
We often receive unsolicited reading clubs' materials - from
McDonald's/Scholastic to Kraft Food, Inc., etc. All "promote" reading
while, of course, promoting their product(s). My task is to develop
guidelines for our library system so that we may either capitalize on or
dispose of these materials. How do you handle incoming promotional
pieces? Who decides whether to participate? If you have guidelines in
place or in your collective minds would you share them with me? I would
enjoy hearing from you directly and will share results with any
interested parties. Thank you in advance. A special thank you to all
who responded to my request for info. on public/school library mergers.
Our committee presentation was well received.

Watch my local TV programs? Isn't that rather above and beyond the call of
duty?
