Hi,
I don't write a column, but how about "The Happy Booker" ?

Subject: Badge maker
I have the new 1999 Ellison catalog and they still have the badge maker
for $25 if you send the pattern. They also sell circle dies in various
sizes from 1" to 8" ranging in price from $20-$40, they are listed in
the
Math Dies section of the catalog pages 105 and 107.

Subject: carpet
Just read my own post and realized how unclear it is. The shapes are made
of carpet--different colors of carpet. They're inset; the layers cut out a
big shape from the already-laid carpet, and set in a shape of a different
color.

(snipped from a book supplier's message)
Do you know, the more I think about "U.S" rights to particular books
(and
by extension, to Canadian, New Zealand, &etc.) rights the less I like the
idea. On the one hand, we're protecting the author and original
publishing house's right to profit from their investment - hence only the
house in the *other* country that is paying their dues, so to speak, can
sell it. That is, only Scholastic has the right *in addition to*
Bloomsbury. But why shouldn't the original publisher also sell it?
Well, perhaps it's in their contract with Scholastic, so that they're
legally bound to refrain from dealing directly with U.S. customers. So be
it. But other contracts and other books might well be different. They'll
almost have to be as communication and transportation technology make the
world a smaller place and exclusive deals become less attractive.
Do such deals truly benefit the author and the readers (I'm not concerned
about the corporations per se - nonhuman legal constructs aren't exactly
neccessary objects of compassion)? Do they see to it that the author gets
a fair return, that the reader has reasonable access to the books?
Of course there are two dilemmas - the contract law and whether by buying
direct from U.K. (or U.S. if you live abroad) stores one is bending or
seriously breaking the same - and the question I raised above.

I will be most interested in a summary of the results that you
find. Last fall I had the opportunity to take a job where I was
the teaching librarian for library skills classes. There were
clerks to staff the library. I would have had five building for
grades K-8. There was only 2 hours a week that were not teaching
time. Lunch time would have been spent traveling. I turned it
down. I wondering if this is a trend? Sharon Mensing

Subject: At Risk Youth Programs
Our local junior high has started a new pilot program for youth that are
suspended
from school. They have hired a teacher/counselor that has them do academics for
part of the day and community service part of the day while they are suspended.
The program is housed at our library.
They have some monies for materials in their budget and would like to focus on
careers(school to work) and basic survivial skills for the work force and
everyday
life. I have the Rourke and Rosen catalogs for ordering some stuff and I have
checked all the BIBs I've saved from here but nothing seemed to fit. I wondered
if
any one else has an at risk program and could recommend materials that work well
for this level (jr high 7-8-9), low vocab and high interest NON FICTION
resources,
videos, books and CDROMs that have worked well or are well done. Send them to
me directly. If others are interested in the results, I'll compile and post.
Thanks.

Good Evening, I have a stumper for you.
Patron remembers a picture book she read in the the 70's but the
book could be older of course. It is in rhyme. There is a women who is
sick and the doctor wears a top hat and drives a horse and buggy. The
doctor pulls some wild things out of her throat, ie. a birdcage! The
rhyme goes like this "someone's sick, send for the doctor quick, quick,
quick". Thanks for your help!
