Subject: your help needed
Hi all! I posted this quite some time ago and
rec'd no response, so I'm trying again.
A patron is looking for a Spanish book club, something
similar to Troll or Weekly Reader. Do any of you near
the US/Mexico border know of any? I'd appreciate your
help. Please reply directly to me.
TIA,

Subject: stumper
Hi everyone,
I'm always so impressed with the collective knowledge of us all. Now, I
have a patron with a stumper. The book is at least 20 years old and the
main characters are two girls, both wear eyeglasses. One has red
eyeglasses, the other purple. One day they trade glasses and see the
world through the other's eyes. If you could reply directly to me, I'd
appreciate it.
Thanks,
Tracy Taylor

Subject: Draw 50 _______ by Ames
I am going to be getting new/replacing some of those Draw 50 _______
books by Ames. Some of our copies have circ-ed up to 120 times. I
am currently trying to choose between Permabound, TurtleBack (Demco),
"Library Binding", or whomever.
What I would like to know is this: Does anyone have a preference for one
of these brands. I am looking for pros and cons.... how well some of
these products have held up. I have also heard that- with one brand
labels and bar codes do not stick.
Any information would be great!
Catherine

Subject: Re: Library Sleepover
We recently held an event at our library which was not quite a sleep over
(the kids went home at 9:30). The kids had a lot of fun and so did we.
The event started immediately after school, and began with about an hour of
running around. We had a basketball game, but relay races or any other
organized physical activity could work. Do you have a space appropriate
for this? I think letting off a little energy enabled the kids to be
calmer and more cooperative later.
We followed the game with snack, then a period of sustained silent reading.
After reading time, the kids helped prepare dinner, and then we ate. There
are all kinds of wonderful opportunities to cook food that somehow relates
to books or a particular story.
Prior to the date of the event, the kids voted on which movie to see. I
gave them a list of movies based on books from which they could choose.
Parental permission slips are a must! It is also very important to know
who is going to pick up each child and when, as well as to have an
emergency phone number for each child. We also had a brief meeting at the
beginning of the event in which we went over expected behavior, and we
conveyed to the participants that anyone causing a problem would be sent
home.
Our attendance was just under 30 children (all grades 5 & 6). We had four
teachers and several parent volunteers. I will say that we really had more
adults than we seemed to need. If you do an actual sleep over, you will
need more adults (and should stay awake around the clock!).
Everything went very smoothly & the kids had a great time. We would
definitely do it again.
Hope this helps,
Robin
