Subject: Rainforest Titles
A grade school librarian is partnering with a teacher in a rain forest
unit. They have approximately $300.00 to spend on support materials.
Any suggestions of great rain forest titles and/or teaching materials?
Please reply directly to me.

Subject: Re: Intergenerational programs
At Stratford Library, we have an annual intergenerational program called
Books Build Bridges. It involves Seniors and teens reading to children
from grades 1-3. I co-authored an article about the program, which you
can find in the February 1996 edition of VOYA. It requires a lot of
planning, but it's lots of fun, and the response is always great!

Subject: Re: Library School Synopsis
Interesting...I did an Independent Study at Wayne State University's
School of Library Science (Detroit) on library training/education and the
whole practicality vs. theory issue...this was in 1970. What I found
then, and what still seems to be the case is the pendulum swings from a
totally practical curriculum with lots of on-the-job practicum experiences
to the highly theoretical education. Doesn't matter if you are reading
library literature from the 1920's or the 1990's, the same arguments keep
being raised and the same compromise solutions of theory tempered with
practicality seem to make the most people happiest. Good points made on
all sides. - Just my own rambling, bemused thoughts. - jeri
