Subject: library columns
Dear Searching in Mississippi, aka Patsy:
Our newsletter is called Library News and Notes, and is alos posted on
our website:
http://www.haverhill.com/library/libnews.html
The newsletter consists of press releases about upcoming events, book
discussion group news, storytime schedules, book reviews, websites to
visit, and lists of new books, CDs, videos, CD-ROMs, and more.
Sometimes we put it a short timely article, like the one the editor
wrote about the origins of St. Valentine's Day. Sometimes we include
interesting or common reference questions and their answers.
The entire staff is invited to contribute, but there are only a few who
do so regularly. We print it as a newsletter -- 2 columns, 2-4 pages,
and then send a copy to the local paper. Unfortunately, they select
whatever items they want to publish, and print it as a short article,
with whatever headline they chose, based on the content of the article
they create. So it doesn't get published as "Library News and Notes"
as
we would like.
It is extremely time-consuming to put together, and difficult to get the
paper to print it the way we wanted, but the patrons LOVE it, and
several have asked if they could contribute themselves! Best of luck!

No such scruples were encountered when ordering from amazon.co.uk - I even
ordered the third volume in advance. My copies of the second volume were here
quicker than a wink -

Subject: Re: "Books" song
I left the original poem on my desk where my resident Tomten could enjoy
it and the next thing I knew he was strollilng about singing in his
gruff but happy Tomten voice
"Many books have fancy covers, some have pretty pages;
Reading one is not enough 'cause books are so contagious.
Many books are quite exciting, some can also be inspiring;
Books can teach you many things your friends can't help admiring.
The tune sounded a lot like ODE TO JOY to me... and there's
still a week left in National Reading Month to try it out.

Subject: Library Sleepover
I'm writing to ask anyone who has hosted a Library Sleepover to please
e-mail me with any information about having one. We are considering
hosting a Sleepover as part of our SLP and I'm doing my homework. I've
already looked at the www site about sleepovers, which has LOTS of good
info but I'd like to actually talk to people who've done this. Please let
me know the good, the bad and everything in between. What ages? grades?
how many kids? permission slip? programming? chaperones - staff and/or
volunteers? what time was lights out? did you show a movie? games and/or
crafts? Thanks to anyone who can help - I think this would be a fun
program to host and great to tie into our SLP, I just hope our I can
convince our director of the same, so I need feedback from those of you
who have done it! Thank you one and all for your help!!

I have a patron looking for books on a child moving from the crib to a

The child has just turned two.

Subject: Helen Keller Play
This is the kind of stumper you think should be easy to answer but
isn't. Does anyone know of a play about Helen Keller easy enough for 5th
graders? We have both the Miracle Worker and Monday after the Miracle but
they are too difficult, I've also scanned the last ten years indices to
Plays without any success and Children's Magazine Index.
This has made me think of another question. Is there a good index to
children's plays online?
Thanks for all your help

Subject: ADD/Prosthesis Book Hunt
Dear Collective Brain-
I've got a patron with a son in 1st/2nd grade. He was born with only one
leg, and has a prothesis. He has also been diagnosed as LD/ADD. He is
beginning to note his differences from others his age.
His mother is searching for books for kids that show other kids with
prosthesis or missing limb. Pictures would be good. She is also
searching for good picture books about ADD/LD kids.
I've tried looking in BookFinder under prosthesis and amputees. Haven't
come up with anything that has really fit the bill.
Does anybody have any suggestions for my patron?

Subject: stumper
As a Kentucky librarian, I am embarrassed to send this stumper. My
excuse is that I am too young to know these books : ) This
question came to us via e-mail from a man in Massachusetts:
I read a series of books around
1950 about two young men growing
up in Kentucky around the time of
the French and Indian War. The
books were for young readers but
were full sized books. One of the
characters was named Paul. I don't
know how old the books were when I
read them but would guess that
they were 20th century. They were
excellent stories about nature and
adventure and I am trying to find
them for my grandchildren. But
first, I need the author's name.
Thanks for your help
