Perhaps my word choice was imperfect; private pleasures might have
conveyed my thought better than private interests. I will turn the
world upside down and shake it to help my patrons pursue their
informational needsd and interests, but I don't feel as compelled to
assist them if they are primarily interested in erotic stimulation, an
activity which I consider to be better pursued in private. An opinion
which, I suspect, is widely shared by our patrons and law enforcement

Subject: National Poetry Month ideas (longish)
A few weeks ago I asked for ideas for National Poetry Month . Here is a
compiled list of wonderful things to do in April. Thanks to all who
helped!
Have open poetry readings, with local celebrities "seeding" the
audience.
Local teen poets read aloud, video-tape this for local communicty access
broadcast.
Local student poetry appears on city buses during April.
(great ideas from Suzette Dussault, Montana)
Use Fortune cookies--have participants open their cookies, and use the
sayings inside to write poems (and then eat the cookies!).
Type words out, large, on the computer, laminate them, and make "floor
poetry". Kids use the words in a like manner to magnetic poetry. Write
down the poems (perhaps "publish" them in the library?)
(these super ideas from Kathy Bauknight, SC )
Check out the website of the Academy of American poets--they have a
librarian's tipsheet at :
http:www.poets.org/npm/nmpfrmst.htm (there's lots of other poetry
sites out there too)
Invite a local poet to do a workshop--we had one last year, the kids
loved it. He guided them through writing a poem, then had them
illustrate it.
Have a poem give- away. I created a board with a poem holder, and typed
out poems to give away, a new one each week. Use old, public domain
poetry to avoid copyright troubles. Those dead poets are great!
Use a puppet during storytime to read poems. Amazing what kids will sit
for when a puppet reads!
Nursery Rhyme Time: poetry reading for preschoolers. Read aloud Nursery
Rhymes, Mother Goose. Kids KNOW poems!
Hold a POETRY DAY. Do several of the above activities.
Send poems to your coworkers during April.
I printed bright yellow strips that say "Get caught reading poetry"
and
slipped them into all the 811 books in the library. (small library, but
you could do it...)
Display poetry books in your display area.
Put a cookie sheet on your desk with a set of kid magnetic poetry (might
want to keep an eye on this, small pieces).
and one of my favorites, from Marin Younker in Tigard, OR:
She put a set of magnetic poetry on metal shelving in the YA area. Poems
just appear!
Have fun, and I will close with some alliteration, from Poe's THE RAVEN:
"And the silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtain...."

Subject: YA book reviews
I was doing some YA book reviewing the other day and found myself once
again getting aggravated big time by VOYA's consist ant editorial slant;
they really seem convinced that in this day and age disfunctional
families are the only reality and that protagonists who are not somehow
in mortal jeopardy and might actually get reasonably good grades and not
dread getting up in the morning are ridiculously out of date. God knows
I want YA novels to be exciting, and I have no desire for them to ignore
the problems that many kids are confronted with as they grow up BUT
there are still a lot of families out there where people care about and
for each other and even frequently find things to laugh about as they
muddle through together. Is it just me or have other people thought
from time to time that it's a shame the main YA reviewing publication
seems to take such a consistently disparaging view of
families/individuals who are not marginalized/in crisis? One can only
guess what the current crop of reviewers there would do to L'Engles A
RING OF ENDLESS LIGHT if it came out next month instead of when it did,
but you can bet it wouldn't be pretty; the heroine hasn't even got the
common decency to be alienated, for heaven's sake. And she's not
sexually active, so how can reader's possibly relate to her? She even
relates positively to adults and has parents who are still married and
enjoying each other - Ya; VOYA would feel duty bound to say rude things
about it. Wouldn't it be nice to feel as though you could read
reliable reviews without being constantly aware of the sound of axes
being ground in the background? (And no, I am not a Dan Quayle fan...)
Having vented for the morning I will now step off my soapbox.

I have done this with 5th graders. You pretty much have the steps, but after
making the pulp in a blender you need to pour it out onto some kind of screen
to let the water drain. After it is dry, press it between heavy books. The
final product is still a little bumpy but nice as an accent or border for
home-made cards. As a nice effect throw some flower petals, herbs, or
multicolored bits of paper into the blender. Enjoy!

How do you get teachers to use those great short story collections that

book talk your favorites, I guess--maybe with an eye for "teaching

Subject: Re: Do your staff do some form of outreach/community contact?
Two weeks ago I started going out to a childcare center each Tuesday
morning to do an intro to the library, a storytime and talk about book
care to 3-5 year olds. I bring a packet of bookmarks on book care, and
info on how to get a library card, a booklist of preschool related
resources for the teachers and our Activity Calendar. Stapled to tthe
envelope is a postcard sized evaluation card, pre-stamped, asking for
feedback and suggestions of other services childcare centers would like
from the public library. WE sent out letters to all the municpal
licensed centers promoting the OUtreach visits and a new volunteer run
preschool tour of the youth services section of the headquarters library.
I am a Youth SErvices librarian at the headquarters library, in a

Subject: Re: Internet filters
I'm sorry but...if a filter can't be reasonably expected to filter out
what you don't want in the way of internet access, aren't you opening
your library up to all sorts of bad community reaction when a patron's
child accesses a site they thought you had promised wouldn't be available?
I would rather tell the parents that they need to be with their child
while he/she is playing around on the internet than to mislead them into
believing that I'll be sitting there to steer their child away from
inappropriate sites. I can't be there. We aren't staffed at that level.
And I have yet to see a filter that can do the job the parents seem to
want done. - jeri

Brand new shoes, brand new shoes.
OH, DEAR NEW SHOES (to tune of "Oh, Susanna")
Oh, I come from the shoe store, with new shoes on my feet,
I feel so proud and happy, and my feet look so neat.
My old shoes were all worn out, all the way down to their soles.
My toes were squashed and crowded, and were peeking out the holes.
Oh, dear new shoes, you look so good to me.
I am so glad that we bought you, I'll take care of you, you'll see.
OTHER FUN STUFF
SMELLY SOCKS (sachets)

I take the loop and poke it through.
It's very hard to make it stay,
Because my thumb gets in the way!

Hide one shoe from each child around the room. Let the children hunt for
their
own shoes. VARIATION: Let children hunt until they find ANY shoe. Then find

POEM: BUNNY BOWS (Can be done as a fingerplay)
*copyright, 1997 Marie Noe (Used by permission)
Oh dear, oh dear, what shall we do?
Someone needs to tie his shoe.
Take both ends, one left one right,
Wrap them round and pull them tight.
Make two loops, now this is funny,
One's a tree and one's a bunny.
Run the bunny round the tree,
That will make a hole, you see.
Push the bunny through this spot
Pull both loops to make your knot.
That is all you have to do,
To make a bunny tie your shoe!
WHOSE SHOES?
Hang a sheet across room. Let 2 of children stand behind the sheet with just
their shoes showing. Have others try to guess who is wearing shoes. Switch
off and let others try guessing.
HOBBY HORSE
Make simple hobby horses by stuffing socks with cloth or newspaper and
fastening them around the ends of yardsticks with rubber bands. If desired,
sew on button eyes and glue on yarn hair.
SHOE MATCH
Cut simple boot shapes from different colored paper. (Cut 2 of each color)
Have children match the pairs.
CLOMP-TAP-ROLL
For imaginative transitions, have children pull on make-believe footwear, then
"tap dance" to their cubbies, "moon walk" to the snack
table, or "skate" to
the
playground.
SHOE SEARCH
1. Have children remove one of their shoes and place them in a line.
2. Arrange the children in a line opposite their shoes.
3. Have children close their eyes and mix up the shoes. Add your own shoes or
shoes from dress up corner.
4. Have children go up one at a time to find their shoes.
5. Repeat until everyone has had a turn.
FOOT FEELING
Place small objects such as marbles, plastic fruit, spools, etc in a bucket or
tub. Let children feel with their feet and try to pick up with toes.

each shape. Place the felt on top of the child's laced shoes. Thread the
shoelaces through the holes in the feet and tie.
BOOT RELAY RACE
To play this game, two pairs of large boots are needed. Any kind will work as
long as they are large enough for children to pull on over their own shoes.
Split group into two teams. Have first two children from each team put on
boots, and run to a predetermined spot. Turn around and run back, handing off
the boots to the next children in line to repeat the action. First team
finished wins. Can also be done with high heels, slippers, etc.
SNACK
FOOT SALAD

Left foot, right foot,
Now we stop. (stand still)

Ten little shoes to wear.
Ten little, nine little, eight little boot shoes, (you say out loud the kind

Seven little, six little, five little sandal shoes,
Four little, three little, two little buckle shoes,
One little shoe to wear.
Hope you have a fun program!

We made shoe books. Here's what
we did...
We photocopied on construction paper a tennis shoe shape. Then we
photocopied a sock shape and finally a foot shape. We also reversed these
using a sheet of overhead transparency. The kids cut these out, we
stapled a shoe, sock, foot, reversed foot, sock and finally the reversed
shoe together. We hole punched eyelet holes at the top of the shoe and
laced up with yarn. With the shoes laced, you couldn't open the book.
Unlaced and viola' there's your book. Kids loved it. I also let the
littler ones stamp their pages. I read Hello toes, hello feet for
toddlers. If you want the patterns, let me know. I'm about to file them
away. Anne Hall
