Subject: Monastery/abbey setting
Dear all,
Have a rabid redwall fan who just sighed to me and said, "I LOVE the
Middle Ages", and is seeking more fiction set in monasteries and abbeys
in particular (as opposed to castles and peasant hovels!) Any ideas?
I could have sworn there was a Geoffrey Trease I read almost 40 years
ago that might have fit the bill, but perusing his bibliography couldnt'
peg it. Thought I wouldn't start with MURDER IN THE CATHEDRAL......
TIA

Subject: stumper: pictures made from everyday objects
Hello Everyone!
I'm in need of your help again. I just had a patron ask about the books
where the pictures are constructed out of everyday objects, but it's not
real obvious unless you're looking closely. I know I just got one into
the library recently, but I don't remember the title and can't come up
with any subjects that will bring it up in the database. I'm not sure
if these books even have text. Does anyone know what books I'm talking
about and what a title might be? TIA for your help!

Subject: Stumper: Help finding title
I am hoping someone out there can help me find the title of a children's
book. The book is similar to "We're going on a bear hunt," only the
"hunt"
takes place in a boy's backyard. What I remember is the boy swinging over
a puddle of water only in his eyes it is a giant lake. His imagination
makes ordinary objects much bigger. Toward the end of the book, he
encounters some animal - what is not known - and retraces his steps to
"safety." I used this book in conjunction with bear hunt while student
teaching in 1994 if that gives any ideas for publication dates. I'm sorry
I can't give anymore information. If you have any suggestions, please send
them directly to me. Thanks bunches.

Subject: Storytelling job in sunny Orlando
Hi there all.
I wanted to let you know about two openings our library system has for
full-time storytellers. There are four positions in all, but due to
departures, we need to fill two openings ASAP. The storytellers do programs
for children of all ages, plus developmentally appropriate programs for
infants, toddlers, and pre-school age children. We have twelve branches
plus the main library in which we do "our thing". We also do gobs of
outreach to daycares, Head Starts, schools, and festivals. You need an
undergraduate degreee and transportation. For more information please
contact Carla Fountain at (407) 425-4694 (Human Relations).
Happy New Year!

Subject: Epilepsy book
Hi All!
There was a young adult book that I read a good sixteen years ago. I
remember that the title had something to do with hearing birds singing.
The main character in the book is a teenage girl with epilepsy. She is on
vacation or a school trip of some sort and goes into an antique shop where
she sees an antique painting with a girl who looks just like her. Later,
she falls and bumps her head and goes back in time. During this "trip"
she finds out that she was the girl in the picture during a time when
epileptics were treated like lepers. Anyone remember it?
Thanks in advance.
