Subject: assignment board
Hello, everyone.
I would appreciate any opinions/advice about the following, especially if
anyone has had anything like this at your library.
We're hoping to start an assignment board, where current school
assignments are written on a dry erase board which would stand at the
entrance to the Youth Services Dept. I expect we'd also include
recommended library resources for fulfilling the assignment.
Does anyone allow or encourage the kids to write any of this information
themselves? If only the staff does the actual writing on the board, do
you wait to hear about the assignments from the teachers? Or do you go by
what you hear from the kids and parents?
Please reply to me privately. I will summarize responses to the list if
anyone wishes me to do so.
Many thanks --
Lyn Persson, Wilmette (IL) Public Library, lpersson@nslsilus.org

There are many books that can be used with props, etc. listed on it.

PU>Please post the following job announcement on your listserv. Thank you!
PU>Berkeley Public Library has an opening for SUPERVISING LIBRARIAN in the
PU>branches. We actively seek applications from women and minorities.
Has anyone ever come across a good working definition of who minority
people actually are? Does any non-European blood somewhere back in your
family tree make you a minority? In that case probably a majority of
the country are minorities. Are orientals minorities? If you're a
biological caucasian but were raised by a minority family in poverty and
are culturally minority, does that count? What about all the folks who
haven't a clue as to what the genetic makeup of some of their ancestors
was? Are you a minority if you look like a minority - and according to
who? It never ceases to amaze me that people presume they can classify
other people in this fashion ...
