Hi. I am from the Hicksville Public Library on Long
Island, New York. As far as the donations are
concerned, we check the condition of the books and see
whether we already own them. If we do, putting an
additional copy into the computer is less of a job
than if we don't already own the title. If it is a
new title, we check the computer to see if it is
popular at neighboring libraries. If it is not worth
the trouble of cataloging, we just put it on our
booksale truck. Hope this info helps.

It looks as though many of us go to the schools to promote summer reading.
A couple of years ago we went one step further - we now distribute our
reading certificates through the schools in the fall. They call the
children down to the office by name (over the PA) to pick up their
certificates - one class a day or so, so each child gets recognition at
school for their work over the summer. It has worked well.

I have thought in the past about doing something at the beginning of the
fall school year to acknowledge the children who participated in Summer
Reading but I wonder if that violates confidentiality to publicly list the

Tagging along with the discussion of resources mentioned recently for
storytime rugs... have any public libraries recently installed custom
carpet designs in the YS area? The Santa Fe, NM library just requested
some information about this. Their e-mail is down currently and they asked
me to post this query. They are interested in names of manufacturers and
descriptions of the designs. (Not free-standing rugs for a story area,
but broadloom carpet or carpet tiles that are integral to the design of the
youth services area. )
Many thanks! Patricia

Hello,
Our library needs to come up with a summer reading theme that would work for
an adult, YA and children's summer reading program. This is the first time
we are using a universal/unified theme. We are a suburban library near a
large city.
If any of your libraries have been successful with any sort of unified them,
please email me.

Date: Tue, 11 Jan 2000 11:19:18 CST
On Saturday, January 8, 2000, the Children's Division of the Oregon
Library Association hosted its annual Mock Caldecott Workshop, organized
and presented by Multnomah County Library's Youth Services Coordinator
Ellen Fader. Twenty-two interested adults from public libraries, schools
and school libraries spent the day at the Springfield Public Library
examining the 16 books on the local discussion list, and learning from
Multnomah County librarian and former Caldecott Committee member Steve
Armitage about various media that can be used to create art and how the
artists' choice of media affects the finished art. The actual Caldecott
Medal will be announced at 9 a.m. Central Standard Time on Monday, January
17 in San Antonio, Texas at the Midwinter Conference of the American
Library Association. Results are usually posted on the ALA Web site
(www.ala.org) within 1/2 hour of the announcements. The OLA group chose
David Wiener's Sector 7 as the winner, with honors to Jerry Pinkney's
retelling of Hans Christian Andersen's The Ugly Duckling, and At The Top
of the World: Climbing Mount Everest by Steve Jenkins. Make plans to
attend next year's discussion, which is generally scheduled immediately
before the ALA Midwinter Conference (hold Saturday, January 6, 2001 as a
possible date), and to bring a friend or colleague.

Subject: toddler color crafts (and other ideas)
Date: Tue, 11 Jan 2000 11:22:02 CST
I'd like to give a big *THANK YOU* to all who submitted great ideas for =
toddler color crafts ideas and other nifty toddler ideas you use. =
Several people asked me to compile the list and post it to PubYac, so =
here goes! By the way, if anyone else has any *great* toddler ideas for =
story time related to books, fingerplays, arts/crafts, etc., that you've =
just been dying to share, please send them my way. Thank you!
Here's the compiled list:
I'm Carol Goldman from the Queens Borough Public Library. (Queens is =
one of
the five boroughs of New York City.) I read your message on PUBYAC this
morning regarding craft ideas about colors to present to your very young
toddler group. One idea you might want to consider is the following:
1. Prepare kite shapes (that is, diamond shapes) from various colors of
construction paper. Make them large; if you have 9-1/2" x 12" paper, =
for
instance, cut the whole length of the paper. Little kids like your =
toddlers
will do better with larger surface areas to work with.
2. Then have kids merely glue a variety of torn-paper colored pieces
to their kites. These can be construction-paper pieces left over from =
when you
made your kites, tissue-paper pieces, or colored stickers. If parents =
will be
assisting, remind them to have a dialogue with their youngsters about =
the
colors of the kites their kids have chosen and the various colors =
they're going
to use to decorate the kites. In this way, the activity is not only a =
craft
exercise, but a language-development one as well. This is a very simple =
craft
that even the eighteen monthers can do with only a little help. I know =
because
I've done this craft with such small kids. If you use stickers, it's =
even
easier.
3. Top off the kites--or, in this case, BOTTOM them off--with
streamers made of a few crepe paper or colored tissue strips stapled to =
the=20
bottom.
4. Punch a hole in the top, attach a piece of string or yarn, and your
kids will have a lovely craft to take home, play with, and display! =
Have fun.
Dear Elaine,
A popular color craft I have used is to cut a paper plate in half. Let =
the
children decorate it with stickers, stamps, crayons, whatever then glue,
tape, staple crepe paper or tissue paper streamers around the curved =
edge.
Streamers shouldn't be too long or they are easily stepped on and torn.
Kids like to dance around waving their "rainbows".
There are lots of good teacher resource books with craft ideas for
preschoolers - Totline, Kidstuff, Toddle on Over; Developing Infant &
Toddler Literature Programs by Robin Works Davis, The Mailbos; The Idea
Magazine for Teachers (Preschool Edition), Monthly Idea Books from the
Mailbox, .....

Elaine,
I don't have any specfic ideas, but have you seen the books,
Little Hands Art Book and Little Hands Big Fun Craft Book?
They are both by Judy Press. They are designed for chidlren 2 - 6=20
years old, but the ideas are so very basic you can use them with=20
younger children.
Louise Capizzo
Elaine,
If you haven't seen these two books you might want to take a look. They =
have
some really cute and simple ideas.
Storytime Crafts by Kathryn Totten
Toddle on Over by Robin Works Davis
As far as personal experience, parents love anything that has the =
child's
hand print!
Also, almost any picture, clip art, etc. can be made into a stick puppet =
by
taping a Popsicle stick to the back. This works really well with =
nursery
rhyme characters. The children can use them for participating in the
rhymes. Also, I have a "lap stage". It's just a medium sized cardboard
=
box
with the top and one side removed. Decorate and put a row of double =
stick
tape inside just along the top edge. This works great to perform =
nursery
rhymes with stick puppets (or any other story).
Have fun! =20

One thing I've done for colors: take a few strips of tissue paper, and =
glue
them onto a Popsicle stick. Of course they need help from Mom (etc) but =
they
love these, they can twirl them in the air to music. I always use glue
with little kids like this: take old jar lids, put a little of Elmers in =
the
middle. Give the kids Q-tips as glue "sticks"-- works really well with
toddlers.=20
also, I found the easiest craft with toddlers: Stickers. I bought lots =
of
those round label stickers, or nice shapes/colors ones, and collected =
all
the leftovers form whatever. They love to put stickers on ANYTHING! We =
have
a die-cut machine, I would just give them a shape, of construction =
paper,
cut for the dies, that had something to do with our theme. they love it. =
have fun!

In Storytimes for Two-Year-Olds by Judy Nichols there is a craft idea
which is basically a stoplight template - 4X9" rectangle with three
holes cut out for the lights. Kids could paste in the colors or could
take them home loose to play a game with parents putting them in the
right hole. She suggests paper or felt.

=20
I use this with the story Little Blue and Little Yellow by Lionni and =

craft stores) and they can't=20
wait to take them home to show everyone how they can make green, purple, =
etc. (The natural=20

I love Toddler time--but don't do crafts, but let's see if I can offer
some suggestions based on stuff I've browsed past. I like the stuff
produced by Totline. They have a series called Totline Beginning Art
Books. Each itty bitty booklet revolves around a craft material and
offers what I consider to be craft starters. They really recharge my
creative batteries without really offering full blown craft ideas.
Storytime crafts by Kathryn Totter published by Alleyside Press offers
fairly simple crafts--although most will require some fairly significant
prep time if done as suggested. Again, a good creative re-charger.
Things like creating a fish out of a handprint. Obvious, yet sometimes
you need to be reminded.
Another one I like, but didn't write down the exact information to bring
home, oops, is called "The Busy Classroom." The chapters are arranged
by concept and months as well as suggesting an age range. It starts at
age 3, but most can be adapted down with some additional prep time.
(Unless I'm thinking of another one I was looking at today about Math
activities for the preschooler!) I'll double check that on Monday and
send any correction if I have one.
As far as a color craft, what about something truly simple like coloring
pictures of Clifford and giving them only red colors (or Blue and
Magenta with only those two colors offered.) Or perhaps glueing colored
shapes onto paper. More like art projects, I know, but it could get you
through!! Make something to wear by stringing pre-cut color shapes onto
string, separated by 1 1/2" lengths of straws.
Hope that starts the creative juices flowing. At this age, it only
needs to be not frustrating, the result is not really important, IMHO.
Have Fun!
Kim Norris
I find toddler crafts to be a challenge as well. In theory, they should =
be=20
process, not product oriented. It is a balancing act to give them =
something=20
to take home (which parents can enjoy, too) and have it be simple enough =
that=20
they are actually doing it (also, keep the parents happy there).
I have had good luck with water colors. I xerox a picture onto =

paper, such as the outline of a balloon, and then let the kids water =

Elaine,
A 'color craft' I use year round is a rainbow streamer.
Take a 3x5 card and fold it in half width wise so it is 2 and 1/2 x3 "
Cut 5 different colors of streamers in 22" lenghts
(tissue paper works, but there is alot more cutting)
Squirt glue on the inside of the folded 3x5 card
Place one end of each streamer inside the card (overlapping them)
Press 3x5 card together
They can be stapled but the glue works better
Then they can watch their rainbow streamer flutter around, just like a =
gymnast
which is where I got the idea from :)
Have fun.

An activity I did for rainbows, that could easily be adapted to colors,
was to take a paper plate and cut it in a "V" shape. The kids
decorated
the plate and we then stapled on long strips of colored crepe paper. =
You
could also use ribbon, tissue paper or construction paper. The kids =
held
the plate by the small end and waved it while running around. If you =
want
it to be easier to hold, you could attach a cardboard square or a craft =
stick
to the bottom. I have also seen something similar done where the center =
is
cut out of the plate, leaving a narrow circle, and the colored paper is=20
attached to the center of the circle.

Hi Yakkers!
Thanks for all the help!
The answer to the cardboard cake stumper is "The Baker's Daughter", a
story in the collection called
"Street of Little Shops" by Margery Williams Bianco.
Thank you everyone for your help.
My patron will be delighted!
And my system still has a copy in circ!

Subject: BIB: Gingerbread Man Variants
Date: Tue, 11 Jan 2000 11:32:45 CST
Thanks to all 36 of you who suggested variations of the Gingerbread Man
story.
Tara Lippman sent information from the research she had done, which
turned up a Norwegian version of "The Pancake," "The Bun"
from Russia,
"The "Runaway Bun" from the Ukraine, "The Johnny-Cake"
from England, and
"The Fox and the Little Bannock" from Scotland. In addition there are
other variants in Scandanavia, Holland, Germany, and Slovenia.
Some of the versions on this list are probably illustrated versions of
the Jacobs tale rather than true variants.

Thanks to all who correctly identified UNCLE JED'S BARBERSHOP by Margaree
Mitchell. I couldn't find it in our collection because we no longer own it!
(Stumper: African-American barber who saved for his own barbershop through
adversities.)
I apologize for the red herring about the fire-bomb. Another book of
Margaree Mitchell's (GRANDDADDY'S GIFT) has a church that is fire-bombed,
and I guess I must have combined the two stories.
Thanks again - I will order it to have it back in our collection!

We have a patron looking for a picture book folktale she remembers from 20
years ago about a peasant who digs up a magic samovar, and it continues to
fill up with riches and gold. Checked Storyteller's Sourcebook and our
folktale collection, but nothing specifically about a samovar. Any ideas?
Thanks!
Please, please respond to me directly, and I will let everyone else know if
we get an answer.

According to many many wise librarians out there, my query re: a book
about a sweater and hockey is The Hockey Sweater by Roch Carrier. It may
also be My Leaf's Sweater, a book for younger kids. I will pass the
information on, and thanks for all your help!

As promised, this is the list of books that people sent when I asked about a new
book that I thought readers of Lurlene McDaniels would like. I've tried to note
books that several people suggested. Many of these books are from a booklist
Penny Bohlen was kind enough to send. Not all of the books are completely in the
McDaniels mode, but they all have elements which might appeal to these readers.
Thanks again to the many people who responded to my question.

First, I'd like to thank everyone for the GREAT Harry Potter program
ideas! Second, Thanks to all those who sent me ideas of titles to use
for mentally and physically disabled children. Third, I need help. We are
in the process of planning an addition to our library. I have heard of a
library in Indiania that has a huge-built in gerbil "wall?" and
another
library ( I don't know where) that has a built in puppet stage. If any
one knows where these are or any other neat ideas for a children's room,
could you please e-mail me. Thanks alot, Shannen McMahon
