Another song sung to the tune of row row row your boat

Hi Jan!
The Romance Writers of America at http://www.rwanational.com includes a
Romance Novels Database. It can be searched by author, title, author's
city/state of residence and character's name. It also includes a list
of other links dealing with the romance genre. It also lists all of the
major awards given out each year. The site explains the different types
of Romance novels, and one of these is the Young Adult Romance novel.
It gives the names of popular young adult romance writers and gives
titles of interest. I have done a pathfinder for our young adult
department on Romance. The cover says "If you liked Sweet Valley High
and the Cafe #9 series, try these..." On the pathfinder I've listed
some romance writers for Y.A.'s such as Sherry Garlane, Arlynn Presser,
Cheryl Zach and Lurlene McDaniel. I've also given a list of titles they
should try with a brief synopsis of each title.
Good Luck!

Subject: RE: winter carnival activities
Hello - I don't know if you haven't already gotten several answers on
this, but a booktalk is something like a preview in the movies - what you
want to do is whet the kids' appetites so they'll read the book
themselves. I had to do a couple of these in my YA class in library
school, and the main thing I learned was, *don't* go on too long! Also,
try to talk about books you, yourself, like and know well. And relax!
There are a few books that can help you get started. If you do a word
search on booktalks or book talking, you should come up with several. In
my library, I found the "Books for You" series helpful. But you will
learn very fast by doing it! I practiced on my colleagues before facing
a class, and that was also helpful - if someone said, "I wnat to read
that one," I knew I'd succeeded. Good luck!

Subject: Mascots and videos as marketing tools
Hello, o collective intelligence,
We are thinking about "marketing the library" in a new way.
Two ideas--
A "mascot" for Youth Services -- some character or other who will be
associated with children's programs, flyers, publicity. This could be a
mere graphic, or maybe a costumed character who would show up from time to
time.
and
Videos promoting the library that target specific groups--one for kids, one
for parents, one for teachers.
Has anyone done either of these things, even in a remotely related way?
thanks in advance,
Laurel Sharp

Hello to all -
I have LOTS of good books about clothes (FROGGY GETS DRESEED, HUGGLY GETS

I need a quick craft to do with my 2-5 year old group.

Heck, I'm an under-30 male children's librarian with an MLS. That makes
me a bit of a minority in this field, eh? :)

Subject: chat rooms
We have a couple of terminals in the adult room that can be used for
chat, but you have to sign up. The children's room terminals cannot be
used for chat or e-mail. The e-mail restriction I think silly, but the
chat room one has a couple of good reasons:
1. Kids may meet extremely undesirable people.
2. Kids spend a lot of time "chatting" via computer with their friends
who are on other computers in the same library!
