Subject: STUMPER: 1492 (Thanks)
Thank you to Julie Rines and Cindy Christin for giving me the answer to
the question of who has recorded the song "1492" by Nancy Schimmel.
There are two answers:
1. The Singing Rainbow Youth Ensemble with Candy Forest published
by Sisters' Choice Recordings (http://www.sisterschoice.com).
2. Sally Rogers has recorded it on one of her CDs.
The patron will be thrilled, I'm sure. Thanks for your help.

Subject: FW: Thrasher mag.
Greetings,
Let me introduce myself as new to the list..and not a
YA/Children's librarian. I love and read mostly YA lit in my spare
reading time, but ended up with an adult services academic job upon
graduation from school.
I joined PUBYAC when I went to a Parent Teachers Association
meeting at my daughters school and the first thing
that happened was one of the parents started on a "thing" about what
public libraries have on their shelves for "our" children to read.
Her beef was with a magazine titled Thrasher. I need to get to the library
to
read it myself, but haven't yet. What do you in the field think of
the magazine, and what sort of problems have you had?
When the woman went on her "thing" at the PTA meeting, I told
the whole group that I strongly believe in parents
being at the library with children until the time comes that they
are old enough to be doing things on their own.
By that time, what the parent has taught the child about family
values and tastes will be what the child knows. This
quieted her for the moment, but I know that it will come back up
because she passed out copies of the ALA library Bill of Rights.
Recent postings from the group about computer-using adults with
children and parents rights in the library are great and I am keeping them
in my notes.
I have to hand it to you folks. On my job I don't have to deal with any of
this sort of thing. My daughter has read ^Harry Potter^ and is reading
^Hello God, It's Me Margaret^, so you can see how I feel about young adult
reading.
Cheers,
Julie Z.

Subject: RE: Sunday Hours
All branches except our smallest satellite branch are open Sundays
1 to 5 p.m. during the school year. Sundays are generally very
busy. We are paid time and a half but these hours are in addition
to our regular hours, which is great for part time staff but not so
good for 40 hour people, who may end up working seven days in a
row. We work a minimum of one Sunday in four. My only complaint is
that the desk is not staffed in the YA area on Sundays (I work at
an adult reference desk.)

I've seen a couple of mentions that this set exists - but has anyone
seen it? Does it live up to the standards of the regular World Book set?
I'm attempting to beef up my reference collection and this looks like it

Subject: RE: Thrasher mag.
While I myself don't care for Thrasher (its language and sexism in
particular) it fills a niche. We keep our copy in the YA room and try to
steer younger readers to SLAP, a milder skateboard mag. Thrasher generates
some comments from parents but normally those of younger kids who don't
regularly come in with their children and are ticked that their child wa
allowed to check it out. We also have one individual who inserts her own
"Jesus will save you" essay into the mag. She does this with Y&M,
SPIN, and
any item concerning homosexuality so we know to go into the YA room after
she leaves. All in all Thrasher reaches its targeted age audience and
captures the boarder culture quite well.
