Subject: YA poetry night
Has anyone done such a thing??
My assistant is doing a program in the Fall and needs as much
information as possible. We have both been looking like mad dogs in our
past issues of SLJ to find an article on Poetry night at the library.
We both remember reading an article about a poetry night program but can
not remember if it was actually in SLJ or VOYA. We have had no luck so
far on finding the article so we would appreciate any information on
this sort of programming.

We keep our cliff note collection at the end of our fiction collection.
We bought magazine containers and labeled the boxes A-Z etc. Shakespeare
needed a box all to himself.

Subject: June 29, 1999
[I thought I posted this last week...and if I have, my apologies for the
repeat...if not....]
A few weeks ago I posted a question about D. Wiesner's books _Tuesday_ and
_June 29, 1999_.
I received a few email's regarding this, and one of them stated that Wiesner
specifically chose June 29th because it was a Tuesday. Cute.
Here are some things you are doing on that literarily [word?] important
date:
1. Make giant vegetables out of paper mache for lawn decorations
2. Make origami frogs
3. Vegetable printing
4. make a window garden with lima bean seeds in a plastic sandwich bag
5. display Wiesner titles, book talk them, and do some bio info on him.
6. Have a fun science program.
7. someone is going to try and locate some gummy frogs.
Aren't people creative? Thanks for sharing your ideas!

Subject: after school programming
I am an associate at the Eau Claire, WI public library and I am interested
in starting and after-school program. My planning is in the very beginning
stages and I would appreciate any comments or suggestions.
My questions are:
Which ages are best suited to this type of program?
Did you require any "assignments" such as creative writing on their
own?
If so, how did they react to this type of activity?
Which activities were most popular?
What were the requirements?
How many kids were in each session?
How long did the sessions last? (how many weeks and how long for each
session?)
And most importantly...things that should be AVOIDED when plannning such a
program.
Any other helpful hints would also be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

I have worked in libraries which have used the
plastic. wire-handled baskets that they use in most
supermarkets. These worked very well, and were
appreciated by rural patrons who only came into town
(and thus, the library) every two or three weeks.

Subject: Re: summer reading
We give them a small group of coupons from local merchants once they have
completed their reading logs (children). Adults get to pick a book from a
special cart after each 5 books that they read. I have been saving donated
books that the library can't use if they are in pristine condition.
We used to have a massive drawing for the last program & give away hundreds
of prizes, but we just didn't have time this year to go find all those
prizes. A few special things did drop into our hands...some Tshirts &
coupons for free half-gallons of ice cream from Blue Bunny so I am having
special drawings before the Wednesday morning programs for the attendees.
We used to have a Stump the Librarian contest each year & awarded rulers or
pencils for those, but we didn't have time this year.
I am always disappointed when the first thing a parent or child asks what
they will get for reading. I always answer "The joy of reading" &
then
tell them about the certificate & coupons,
etc.

Subject: RE: summer reading
Karen--
We're not as prize-driven with our reading clubs, and even so, sometimes I
think that we give too many knick-nacks. We give prizes for reading every 4
hrs, up to 20 hrs, and the pre-readers get prizes for every ten books read
to them, up to 50 books. The bonus involves an extra 4 hrs. or ten books,
and the children can enter their name into a drawing for some nice, bigger
prizes. Our YA club requires 7th graders & up to read 3 books for a prize,
up to 12 books. The challenge is finding prizes they would be interested in
getting. They also get to put their names in for a drawing for every 3
books read, & the prizes include free haircuts, a ticket to Magic Mountain,
and books.
Hope this helps. It sounds like the prize situation at your library is a
little "too much".
