Thank you, thank you to those who helped me find the answer to the stumper
about the girl who lived in Japan and made sushi. I especially
appreciated Torrie Hodgson and Mary Johnson who suggested a title I had
not thought of. But Kim Heikkinen came up with the title our patron was
looking for. *One Hundred and Eight Bells* by Jane Flory (Houghton
Mifflin,1963) is the title our patron wanted and she is so excited and
grateful and on her way to a branch to ILL it. So thank you to the pubyac
collective brain--it has yet to fail! elm

Subject: Harry Potter biblio
I've been thinking of putting together a biblio for those patrons (grades 4-6)
who want to read more books like Harry Potter. I already know about Platform
Thirteen and Wizard's Hall. I am interested in titles likely to be found in
the children's section, not the YA dept. Any suggestions? Please respond
privately and I will post the completed biblio to the group ASAP.

Greetings! I have a patron who hopes you can follow in your stellar =

searched A to Zoo - but she didn't recognize any titles. (She's not =
sure she would know it by title.) Here's the description: Picture book =
about a girl who loves dolls and has 6 dolls. Her dad is on a ship and =
he brings her dolls from the various places he travels. She wants a 7th =
doll so she can have a doll for every day of the week. He tells her he =
thinks she has enough dolls. In the story there is a dollmaker and the =
little girl takes her dolls in a wagon to the dollmaker. As the story =
concludes, she gets her 7th doll - and it looks just like her! Probably =
published around the 50's - that's when patron remembers reading it as a =
child. THANKS!!!!!!!! Kathleen, Minnesota

Subject: Please come work with us at the Haverhill Public Library!
Hi -- for those of you job hunting, I apologize that our listing is so
boring! I had to put in a plug. Haverhill is a wonderful place to
work. We have an energetic, knowledgeable, talented, team-oriented
children's room staff of 3 (with one 20 hour position open as well as
this department head one). In September 1997, we reopened with a
renovated building, and have a great space, with a separate program room
for our storytimes and other programs. Our friends group is very active
and supportive. We have grants to manage. Pages and volunteers do most
of our shelving. We desperately need a fearless leader, having been
without one since Sept 1998 when our dept. head left to take a
director's position.
The library is in the midst of several exciting projects, such as
creating a teen cyber center, maintaining a website that grows more
extensive each day, writing its own newsletter, circulating kits from a
science grant, doing programming for 1-2 year olds for the first time,
and creating a graphic novel collection for teens. HPL provides
unfiltered, guided access to the Internet for all ages, and we are the
only library in our consortium that purchases and defends books on
paganism, erotica, and risque movies. The Children's Dept. belongs to
NOBS (North of Boston Children's Services) a local organization that
meets monthly to share ideas on a variety of issues and topics. Library
organizations at the regional & state levels offer excellent continuing
education programs and workshops, which staff members are encouraged to
attend. Lastly, we are one of the highest paying libraries in our
consortium. The money isn't great, but hey, if you wanted to get rich,
you wouldn't be a children's librarian.
If you have the required experience but you don't yet have your MLS,
don't let that stop you from applying! You can get paid for up to 8
hours of class time (i.e. salary for 40 hours a week, while you actually
work 32 hours & attend classes for 8 hours). City employees get cool
benefits like discounted movie tickets, free flu shots, discounted BJ's
wholesale club memberships, deals on cell phone rates & more.
Haverhill is about an hour from Boston Massachusetts, and an hour from
Kittery Maine. Its proximity to the big city and hiking locations,
shopping areas and state parks, helped to name Haverhill the 7th best
place to live in the US in Boston Magazine (I believe in 1995).
The worst thing about our library is that the departments are quite
spread out. Sometimes the staff gets very departmentalized.
Our new head of children's should be articulate, and a strong advocate
for children so that the needs of the children's room don't get
overlooked.
We need to do more in the areas of outreach to underserved populations,
workshops for parents, and programs for school-age children. Also, our
summer reading program needs a boost.
Up for the challenge? Apply to come lead our team! I would love to
take this position, but I am having way too much fun working for the YA
department (20 hours there, and 20 hours in the children's room)! The
original posting is attached -- if any of you have any questions, do not
hesitate to contact me at gallaway@mvlc.lib.ma.us or
egallawa@concentric.net

Subject: War in Yugoslavia
FYI-- for all you folks looking for a great informational book to explain the
war in the Balkans, I'd like to recommend...
The War in Former Yugoslavia by Nathaniel Harris, Raintree: Austin, Texas,
c1998.
It does a great job explaining about the ethnic groups, the history of the area,
the war
in Bosnia, etc. So if you have a patron looking for information or just want to
understand
the situation better yourself, check it out. It's the first book that has
explained Yugoslavia in
a way children (and adults) can understand.
