Subject: Serving the Underserved Trainers Offer Their Training Services
Young Adult Services Trainers Continue to Offer Their Services to
Public Libraries.
Are you looking for professional development or continuing education
activities for your public library staff? Do you need presenters at
your state conference? Are you planning a workshop? If the answer is
yes to any or all of these questions, you may want to contact one of
the YALSA members listed below who have been trained to help public
library staff members provide quality service to young adults.
YALSA has offered the services of this cadre of trainers since 1994.
They were trained in two seminars offered by YALSA as a part of the
Serving the Underserved: Customer Services for Young Adults Project
and have come to be known as the SUS trainers. During this time, the
trainers have made more than 170 presentations in a variety of
settings, including public libraries, and state, regional and national
conferences. The subjects they have covered include adolescent
development, reading interests, behavioral problems, youth
participation, facilities, and computer services for teens. The
trainers have been trained to work with adult learners and are experts
in the specialized field of young adult services.
The trainers keep in touch on YA-Train, their own private electronic
list, and meet for dinner at each of the ALA conferences. Just before
the 1999 Midwinter Meeting in Philadelphia, they will gather for a
seminar to learn of new developments in young adult services.
The names of the trainers presently active, their phone numbers and
e-mail numbers, are listed below. If you are interested in a
presentation, please contact the trainers directly. You can discuss
your ideas for a presentation with as many of them as you like until
you find the right fit. Each trainers handles his or her own
arrangements for presentations.
If you have questions about the YALSA training program, please
contact the YALSA office at 1-800-545-2433 x 4390 or via e-mail at
YALSA@ala.org

Hello all,
We are searching for a picture book that was probably published sometime in
the 50's. It is a Christmas story about a little mouse who bets Santa he
can put just one more thing in an already overflowing stocking. In the end
the mouse wins by chewing a hole in the sock! Thanks and an early Merry
Christmas to all! Ann-Marie ambiden@nancy.ci.san-marino.ca.us

Subject: STUMPER - medieval Lovell
A friend appraoched me with this stumper, a book she read to/with her now
21 yr old son and would like to identify and revisit.
In a medieval setting, the protagonist is a lame, orphan boy by the name
of Lovell. They recall a monastery garden and healing herbs as well as
many "Robin Hoodish" elements - castles, moats, fortresses. She
remembers
the book as being of about the magnitude of Secret Garden in terms of
length, reading level, etc.
Does it ring any bells for you? Please reply to me, not the list.

Subject: STUMPER: Good girl wins out/Old Golden Book
Had a patron come in to ask about a book (can we all say it together?)
"that she read as a child" at her grandmother's house. It was a Golden
Book printed in the late 50's/early 60's.
Young girl with 2 bad sisters - vague Cinderella type setup -
going through a trip through the woods. The sisters leave her
behind. She finds a cottage, but before she goes inside to eat
and warm herself from the snow, she takes care of the animals -
feeds them, gives them straw, etc. Then she goes inside. She
finds out that her sisters had already come through - and started
to stuff themselves only to be thrown into a dungeon? for their
selfishness. The patron can't remember if a prince comes out or
what exactly happens next - but that's the basic story.
Thanks for your help!

they qualify! I have L. Frank Baum, Rebecca Caudill, John Gardner, Jamie

This person has taught for years and done tons of community theater, so

We're already tried Plays Inc., and French's script service.
Anyone out there with a hot-shot drama department to ask???

I have a patron looking for a recipe for Amelia Bedelia's lemon cookies.
She was unsure whether it was included in an Amelia Bedelia book or a

anyone? She needs either the recipe or the book where it exists. Thank

25-30 years ago. A young wizard or sorcerer has a lisp. His siblings are
able to cast spells like turning cabbages into chocolate, but he can't
because of his speech impediment. The patron doesn't know if this is a
picture book or juvenile fiction.
We have checked Fantasy Literature for Children & Young Adults, Reference
Guide to Modern Fantasy for Children, Best Books for Children, A to Zoo,

Subject: BIB: Book/Video list: YA books on video
I have had many requests for my list of YA books that have been made into
movies. The titles listed below are ones owned by the Seattle Public
Library, but I hope this list will be useful to others. This list is
still in rough-draft form, so please excuse it not being in any particular
order.
The formate goes
Title (VHS/BOT)
VHS means SPL has the video, BOT means SPL has the book on tape
Hatchet (VHS=Cry in the Wild, BOT)
Outsiders (VHS/BOT)
Roll of Thunder Hear my Cry (VHS/BOT)
Where the Red Fern Grows (VHS/BOT)
Little Women (VHS, BOT)
Old Yeller (VHS, BOT)
Driver's Ed, by Cooney (no VHS, yes BOT)
Anne of Green Gables (VHS, BOT)
Flowers for Algernon (VHS=Charly, no BOT)
MC Higgins the Great (VHS, BOT)
Fahrenheit 451 (VHS, BOT)
That was then, this is now (VHS, BOT)
Tuck Everlasting (VHS, BOT)
Jacob have I loved (VHS, BOT)
Caddie Woodlawn (VHS, BOT)
Bridge to Terabithia (VHS, BOT)
>From the Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler (VHS, BOT)
Nightjohn (VHS, BOT)
Freak the Mighty (VHS=The Mighty (on order), BOT (on order))
I know what you did last summer (VHS (on order), no BOT)
Of Mice and Men (VHS, BOT)
Cannery Row (VHS, BOT)
Never Cry Wolf (VHS, BOT)
Incredible Journey (VHS, BOT)
As I said, this is the rough draft and doesn't even list authors yet. It
is by no means a complete list of YA videos and books on tape at SPL.
I can vouch for the quality of the books on tape, they are excellent.
HOWEVER, I cannot vouch for the quality of all the videos, I'm still
reviewing them. So far some are excellent, some are just okay.
For example; Nightjohn is excellent and Hatchet is kinda dorky. I
encourage everyone to preview the videos themselves before showing them to
YA's. I plan to star the videos that are really good.
Also, keep in mind things like copyright, fair use, and public performance
rights before using a video in a YA program.
Good luck, and have fun!

you hadn't all helped!
