Subject: hispanic american writers for teens
For my next book, a collective biography of Hispanic American writers
(both YA writers and adult writers of interest to teens) I am seeking
suggestions of writers to be included. Remember, this is biography, not
criticism. I am seeking to include writers useful to teens doing
assignments as well as leisure reading. Please respond privately to me.

We have a patron who remembers a poem that starts,
Ladies and gentlemen, I stand before you to stand behind you to tell you
something I know nothing about.
I have found bits & pieces of it on the 'Net but not the whole thing.
Does anyone have it? He remembers it from when he was in elementary
school in the 1960's.

Subject: Stumper: Take out the bed
Does anyone remember a picture book that's at least 30 years old about
a little boy who doesn't want to go to sleep and stays up all night.
His father says that he must not need a bed anymore and moves the boy's
bed out. It ends predictably. I have a vague memory of the book, but
can't find it or dredge up a title.

Subject: 2 Positions Open
Curtis Memorial Library (23 Pleasant Street, Brunswick ME 04011) has two
openings on its 5-person Youth Services team. Both are full-time,
professional (M.L.S.) positions requiring energy, enthusiasm and a sincere
desire to work with children and their parents in both library and outreach
settings. Knowledge of children's/young adult resources and programming is
also required. Although CML uses a team approach to service where all staff
are expected to be generalists, the emphasis area of one of these positions
will be youth from baby through pre-teen years and the other will be from
pre-teen through high school. Applications/resumes will be accepted until the
positions are filled with interviews beginning in mid-July. Starting date
for both positions is September 1st. For more information, contact Sally
Jeanne Kappler, Coordinator of Youth Services, at 207-725-5242 or

I had a woman come in yesterday asking if I recognized a story she
had heard on NPR several months ago. It sounded familiar but I
couldn't find it in our catalog or anything that sounded right to her
in A to Zoo. She believes it is a new picture book. I also browsed
the last couple of months of Scott Simon's page on the Internet, but
the patron wasn't here and the list doesn't include book
descriptions. It might have been the tribute to Shel Silberstein,
but I don't know.
Storyline: young girl wakes up one morning with a little girl in her
head telling her what to do. The voice tells her to do things that
are bad or wrong. She doesn't remember how it ended.
Please reply directly to me. Thanks.

Hello All,
I had a patron today looking for books for a girl going into third
grade. Her mother is in a wheelchair and the girl is getting very
frustrated by having to always be around to help her. The patron was
looking for books that might help the child deal with her frustration
and learn to respect her mother. I showed her Mama Zooms and Gramma's
Walk, but they were too juvenile. I looked through Best Books for
Children and A to Zoo and checked the online catalog under physically
handicapped and wheelchairs. I couldn't find anything that seemed
appropriate. Do any of you have suggestions of books that might work?
She said they don't have to be wheelchair-bound; another handicap that
would require the same type of care would also work. You can send
replies directly to me at the address below. Thanks so much for your

Dole Calls for Protecting Children and the Taxpayers from Sexual
Material on the Internet: Says Federal Funds Should Not Be Used to
Fund Internet Porn at Des Moines Public Library: Christian Coalition
Leader in Iowa Joins Dole in Call for Action
[The following is the prepared text of Elizabeth Dole's remarks at a
News Conference in front of the Des Moines Public Library today.
Spoken remarks may differ.]
"Children should come to libraries to read and learn. They shouldn't
be exposed to pornography. It's comforting for parents and teachers
to know that children can surf the web without running into
pronographic waters. That's the way it should be. The technology
exists for filters to be installed on computers to block easy access
to pornography. Unfortunately, public libraries in Des Moines do not
use these filters and I think they should."
"There's a bill moving through the Congress right now that will deny
certain federal funds to schools or libraries that fail to use
filtering software on computers used by children. While I'm pleased
to see Congress moving in this direction, I want to announce this
morning that this plan does not go far enough. This bill contains a
loophole that must be closed. Under this bill, computers used by
adults don't have to use this blocking software. In other words,
pornography is off limits to children, but it's readily accessible to
adults. That's wrong. That's not what libraries are for."
"Let me be clear. This isn't about 1st amendment protections. It's
about protecting our children and the taxpayers! Adults can and
should have access to whatever they wish in the privacy of their
homes. But federal tax dollars should never be used to poison our
children or provide free pornography for adults!"
"I have sent leters to Senator Majority Leader Trent Lott and Speaker
of the House Dennis Hastert asking that they close this loophole so we
can protect our families, our taxpayers, and our values. When
Congress addresses this issue next month, I think they should make it
a top priority."

Boats--the old standard "Row Row Row Your Boat" is useful,
especially with
added verses the kids act out, such as "Sail Sail Sail Your
Boat," "Steer
Steer Steer Your Boat" (with motor sounds), "Paddle Paddle
Paddle Your
Boat," etc. Another rhyme I've used for years that is very
popular goes
as follows: 3 times round went our gallant, gallant ship.
And 3 times round went she.
3 times round went our gallant, gallant ship,
Till she SANK to the bottom of the sea.
Pull her up, pull her up, said the little
sailor boy,
Pull her up, pull her up, said he.
Pull her up, pull her up, said the little
sailor boy,
Or she'll SINK to the bottom of the sea.
On "3 times round" the children turn around, either in place
or
in a large
circle with hands joined (or in pairs). When the ship SINKS,
children sink
to the floor. On "pull her up" the children slowly rise,
only
to SINK again.
This can be repeated ad infinitum.
Here's a boat song to sing to the tune of Down by the Station.
I wrote
the words myself.
Down by the harbor,
Early in the morning;
See the little sailboats,
All in a row.
See the happy sailor,
Turn the little rudder;
Puff, puff, whoosh, whoosh,
Off we go!
