Subject: Re: Tie-dye options?
Hi Maureen,
We just had a tie-dye program last week. We used RIT die (I highly
recommend it). For the darker colors use two packets of that color in
the bucket. Also add salt to the dyes so they will hold to the cloth
better. These extra details should make the colors much brighter and
longer lasting. RIT is about $1.50 a package so keep that in mind when
trying to decide which colors to use. Scarlet, Denim Blue, Dark Green
and Yellow worked really well for us while the Rose Pink and the Black
were barely touched by the kids. Get LOTS of rubberbands of different
thickenesses so your kids can have some really great designs--the more
rubberbands they use, the better the shirt will look. And make sure they
wrap the rubberbands tightly around the material or the color will bleed
through anyway and the design won't look good. Overall, the kids at our
library loved the program and had a great time doing it. Have fun!

Hello all! I have been toying with the idea of starting a

something like this? I was thinking of a monthly meeting with story =
swaps, seasonal themes, maybe a "concert" , guest storytellers, trying

different modes of storytelling, attending local storytelling events as =
a group, etc. And oh yeah, refreshments! Please email me privately if =
you have any experiences or advice you would like to share! Thanks!

At our library anyone can get a library card.......even the newborns! All

Subject: Internet filtering software
Hi all!
I have been asked to compile a report for my library
system on Internet filtering software. My question to
the list is if any of you currently use filtering
software in your library, which software it is, and
any experiences, negative or positive that you have
had with the particular filter you use. You can email
me directly and I will be more than happy to share my
findings with the list.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Subject: Re: YA book discussion
Lisa,
YA's have been part of our Summer Reading Program for several years.
It has been my experience that this population responds with more
enthusiam to a book of short stories than to one book. Some of
the collections I have used in the past are: Something Like a Hero,
Who Do You Think You Are? and Connections. Participants often
read all the stories in the book although we don't discuss all of
them.
By the way "library" kids (those who attended programs as youngsters,
are more often than not those who attend young adult programs in our
library.

Subject: book character costume party
I've been out of touch with pubyac for a while but thought I'd ask your
assistance in offering ideas. We're having a book character costume
party in conjunction with our summer reading program. Any great ideas
out there for a participatory activity? We thought of having the kids
stand up and give clues as to who they are (if it's not obvious). Has
anyone ever done such a program? You can respond directly to me.
TIA You've been great in the past!
