Gretchen: Rhymes and songs are the glue for my toddler class. Besides it is
fun to watch them shake their sillies and wiggle their piggies. Seriously,
songs and rhymes give cadence, repetition, and familiarity...all important
facets of learning to read. There are many good resources...check the
professional shelves.

Subject: Suncatchers-not working?
Hi everyone!
I am trying to make suncatchers out of waxpaper. I am placing little
pieces of cut up colored tisse paper in side of the wax paper and then
using an iron on it. The wax paper appears to stick at first but then
sections of it fall apart. I have the iron on a high setting. Should I
be using a low one?
Thanks for the help!

Actually. Vertigo is DC's line of "Mature Audience" comics. True, they
are sometimes disturbing, but some of the stories (like Sandman, Books of

Subject: Re: Rhymes, songs, and Toddler
Some people find that these work well and some people don't-- the success
of these (and other story hour material) varies due to many factors,
including the age and background of the children, the size of the group,
etc. But the most important factor in the success of any type of material
is the enthusiasm of the librarian. If you like doing rhymes and songs,
and choose ones that you really enjoy doing, you'll find that the kids
will really get into it. If you feel uncomfortable with them, the kids
will feel it and they won't have fun with it.
Try to observe other people performing some of their favorites, and
practice ones you like on friends and family (or even to the mirror) until
you feel really comfortable with them before you try them with the kids.
And don't be afraid to have fun with these, and ham it up a bit. Little
kids love exaggerated facial expressions, gesturing, etc.
And definitely take the time to look through a lot of potential material
and select things you really like. I found "Catch me and kiss me and say
it again" by Clyde and Wendy Watson to be full of great, happy poems that
were fun to do, but in this as in so many other things, your mileage may
vary!

Subject: r.e.:Church cataloging (LONG)
Wow...again, many responses, and many requests for "gathered" =
information. We must be the best YACCERS in the country! For those who =
asked, here's the information I received; there's still no definitive =
answer, though!
Kirsten Martindale
Buford, GA
Church Cataloging notes:
I was the librarian at my church library in Maryland and have the same
job here. At both, we have a grey book called church library cataloging,
which does put everything in the 200's, but has expanded numbers to suit
most Protestant churches. It usually can be found in a church supply =
store that also carries the
book pockets, date due slips, catalog cards, etc. I use Cokesbury. It's
possible that the standard library suppliers (Gaylord, etc.) also have
it in their catalog.
At the Baltimore church, the assistant pastor told me to check out what
was being done at a larger church of our denomination. He thought it was
better than the numbers. Of course, as a professional librarian I
thought he was crazy, but I checked it out. IT WORKED!! They used
colored dots on the spines of the books, with each color representing a
different genre of books. On each dot, a letter or series of letters
further designated the book (author's last name, or version of the
Bible, etc.) They didn't even have a card catalog. We adopted the
system, but with a catalog. I cut the dots in quarters for the catalog
cards.=20
Currently I am using the grey book to assign numbers for the church
library. We have just over 2000 titles. I do however use the CIP data in
the book, when available, even if it assigns the book outside the 200s.
By the way, I am using the dot system for the archives in our Girl
Scout council museum. There everything would have the same number if we
tried to use Dewey.
...
I saw your post on PUBYAC about church cataloging. Southern Baptists =
have a
very detailed book for church media specialists. Materials are broken =
into very
specific dewey # relating to church --missions, devotional life, =
disciples,
Jesus, denominations ETC!.. You can purchase a copy at any baptist Book =

(called Lifeway now, I think) Where you live you can also get in touch =

Hi,
When we do class visits to promote our summer reading program, we tell
children that we offer them prizes as an incentive--that we know that
children who like to read will read anyway for the fun of it, but that
children who have in the past had trouble reading, or who have not yet
found the joy in reading, or who have learned to dread reading because
they've been made to, might need an extra push--hence the prize. We hope
that this inspires enough reluctant readers to at least try to read during
the summer, and the kids who read anyway are happy to receive an added
bonus.helenmi@lori.state.ri.us

I don't think Dr. Laura knows how to "do" a civilized debate, which is

way she chooses to make them. It makes me shudder to think of ALA being on
her show, because nobody ever "wins" or is right but her, and all of
her
groupies would just have more fuel for the fire. I think anyone who calls
her show is just looking for a slap in the face! I have a hard time with
her implications that she is looking out for the morality of the next
generation....I really don't belive that ridiculing or shaming people (as
she does with almost every adult caller) is a very moral way to act.

Subject: RE: Rhymes, songs, and Toddler
I've found that songs and rhymes work VERY well with toddlers. They really
respond to the rhythm and the music. I've usually used songs under two
minutes, and those are hard to find! My favorites are Raffi and some of
Sharon Lois & Bram (especially their Mainly Mother Goose album), but that
may be because I really dislike most of the children's songs out there. I
have made flannelboards out of Mother Goose rhymes, and that seems to work
well, too.

Subject: YA events for just girls
HI, everyone,
I'm planning a YA event that's an opportunity for girls to learn about the
cars they drive. My idea is to have them sign up in advance for a 20 minute
slot. Then, they'll bring their car (or their parent's car!) and will be shown
the basics, like how to check the oil, the coolant, etc and just where the
parts are, like the distributor, the spark plugs, etc. There will be car
experts there to show them and then the girls will take home a sheet that
summarizes what they learn. There will also be books to check out if they
really are interested in following up. So, my questions are:
1. Has anyone ever done something like this?
2. Has anyone ever done a program just for girls or just for boys? If so, did
it cause any problems?
If this one is successful, I am planning on doing another one for boys..
Thanks for any information you can give me. Oh, and if anyone could
particularly recommend easy to follow books about the workings of cars...
Please reply to me at: jwialb@alam1.lib.co.alameda.ca.us

The best place to get graphic novels is from a local comic book store --

However, I was able to get most of my requests filled from Baker and

You can try Diamond Distributors, a graphic novel distributor for

You can also buy direct from places like Marvel Comics, DC Comics,
Kitchen Sink Press, and Archie Comics, all of which are on the Internet:

Dear friends - as many of you have done in the past, we are considering

I would appreciate it if - those of you who already have internet in your
children's department - could explain to me exactly how it was done and how
you reserve them for the kids. Do you have them make appointments or is it
on a walk-in basis. Do any of you also have computers where the kids can
play educational games? How much staff time does the Internet take? As far
as policies, that is already done and we have decided to filter - I am just
