Subject: What's Heaven
Nancy,
You were looking for books that explain what heaven is and I recently heard
of a new one written by writer and news correspondent Maria Shriver. It's
titled What's Heaven? and is a picture book for children 4-8 explaining the
concept of heaven when a loved one dies. She apparently wrote this book
after explaining the death of her grandmother Rose Kennedy to her two young
daughters. It is supposed to be good for people of all faiths. I haven't
actually seen it but you can find more information at Amazon.com
Hope this helps!

Subject: stumper
Hi all.
I have a patron who is interested in finding some short stories by Jack
Adamson. These articles were published in the Pulp Science Fiction
Magazines in the 1940's.
Does anyone know of an index that would list these articles? Are any of you
science fiction buffs familiar with any articles written by this author?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
You can reply to me personally at terry@spidaweb.eils.lib.id.us.
Thanks Again
Terry Hyer

a patron is looking for a story called Golden Windows. She remebers some
of the story. A Girl looks out her window and sees a house that has Golden
Windows and she wants to live there. Eventually she goes to this house
only to find out that it has ordinary windows, and when she looks back to
her house, she finds out that it also has golden windows...it is the sun
that causes both houses to have golden windows....If anyone out in Pubyac
land recalls such a story could you pass on the information as to where we
might locate it.

Subject: stumper - different flavored sodas
We have a patron looking for a chapter book, approximately same vintage as
the Mrs. Piggle Wiggle books. She read it in the 60s. All she remembers
is that there was a babysitter (male or female unsure) who would get
different flavored sodas out of the different faucets in the house.
Ring any bells with anyone?

I have a patron looking for books for children under three about
careers. They must be colorful, durable, copyright must be less
than 10 years old and show boys and girls in different jobs. For
example: a boy nurse and a girl doctor. She is going for a
degree in preschool education. Any help you can give would be
greatly appreciated. I have looked in Best Books for Children and
through anything we had on careers. Thank you for any help you can
give.

Subject: University of Cambridge Programme on Censorship
The University of Cambridge International Summer Schools have been
running for some 75 years and attract over a thousand people to
Cambridge each year. This year University of Cambridge is launching a
programme on Censorship.
The first Univ. of Cambridge International Summer School on
Censorship will run from 1 - 14 August this year. This intensive
programme will address aspects of censorship world-wide and will focus
on the nature of censorship, current issues and the historical
perspective.

for a brochure and more information on the Censorship programme.
The school anticipates that participants will come from a wide
variety of countries and professional or educational backgrounds and
that many will bring valuable insights through personal experience.
The programme will be a balance of presentations by experts in their
field, discussion, and reaction from participants.
It is anticipated that it will be relevant to those in a wide range
of subject areas from literature, history, religion and politics to
journalism and communications.
Any suggestions on ways the school can identify and encourage
potential applicants would be very much appreciated.
