Subject: Re: Christian videos
I am familiar with the Odyssey tapes because I used to teach in a Christian
School. There are two sets of tapes... the audio tapes and video tapes.
They were fairly good, and my students really enjoyed them. They would have
several stories with "real" children going through something
difficult, like
someone cheating on a test in school or something like that... and then
there was always a moral of the story, along with a Biblical scripture. My
friend who loaned them to me bought them at a local Christian bookstore.
Hope this helps! Heidi Pastore

I've never posted before so here goes: I've just had a patron who's
family is going to India soon. She is looking for a book about Martin
Luther King where he talks about his role model being Mahatma Ghandi.
She can't remember if it is a children's book, but remembers it did have
pictures. She is 35 and read it when she was in fifth or sixth grade.
Anyone with any ideas can e-mail me at alnora1227@yahoo.com.

I was wondering if anyone could help me. We had a patron come in on my day

Longfellow. I'm not sure if she's seen a specific book she would like, or
if she's just looking for any version of the poem in book form.
We don't own anything, and I could find anything in BIP using a keyword

supply us with the publisher, illustrator, etc.?

Thank you all for the information on "Wuggie Norple." It was written

she will be delighted at least to know the correct title/publishing info; I

I also really appreciate everyone's input on their quality - most seem to

fine quality and very popular. Thank you all for sharing your wealth of

Greetings,
I've been lurking for a few months now, and finally have need for the
collective wisdom of the list.
A patron is looking for a book (a paperback) she read in the late 80's.
The pages were yellowed even then. It is set on Earth, in a futuristic,
utopian society. In this society, everyone is granted a "Universal
Guaranteed Income" (a phrase she remembers distincly from the book), which
they use to meet their needs financially. Only select individuals
are chosen to do "work." It is a great honor to be given a job in this
society.
Does this ring any bells with anybody?
TIA,
