Georgi--
For summer reading club promotion, at least for the last couple of years,
our children's librarians go to the schools and do assemblies about the SRC.
Depending on the school, of course, we do smaller or bigger assemblies,
usually broken down by age (K to 2, and 3 to 5 most of the time), and we
talk about all the programs we have planned for the summer, focusing on SRC
kickoff, and what the theme will be, etc. It at least alerts the kids to
the fact that we have something going on for the summer, and we can
distribute flyers for the kids to take home to their parents, too. It's
fun, and all summer we have kids coming in, excited that they recognize us
from school.

You need to check the statutes for your state. In Florida (and I also believe
Texas), anything that can tie a patron to a service is considered confidential
information and cannot be released. Thus, reading children's names at an
assembly program or publishing the list of summer library program participants
in the local newspaper is a violation.

Pat --
You may want to contact Jim Keller of the Vitetta Group. He is based in
Philadelphia and his company has offices in several other places around the
country (including Orlando, FL and, I believe, San Diego). He specializes in
library interior design. He has done some fantastic things with the Free
Library of Philadelphia, and will be doing a presentation at the ASCLA Youth
Consultants meeting at ALA. I know part of the instillation and design was
custom carpeting. One of the designs included changing a non-working fireplace
and making it into a "roundhouse" for a "model train." The
carpeting were the
tracks leading children from the entrance of the room into the area. Very
enticing! I am sure Jim would be able to work with your people in Santa Fe.

After our 1999 SRP, I wrote a press release listing the names of all the
kids who completed the program. It was published in the local
newspaper. Since the paper regularly publishes the names of students who
make the honor rolls after each school marking period, I didn't think
publishing our readers would be a problem. Actually, I think kids (and
their parents) like seeing their names in the paper.

For many many years, we have listed all the SRP finishers in our local
newspaper and sent each school the names of their kids who finished the
program. Last year we were told by a lawyer at the Library of Michigan
that this violated the Michigan Privacy Act. So we added a line to our
reading records that said: "Sign here if you do NOT want your name to be
sent to the newspapers and the schools." There was apparently some
confusion by younger children about this, and this year we're thinking of
just saying "Do you want your name given to the newspapers and
schools?" with a box for yes and a box for no.

I recently started new position in a library where they have a young adult

dealing with fiction and I have a hard time wrapping my mind around the
idea of deciding which nonfiction is ya, j or adult. Sometimes it seems
too labor intensive to have three nonficton collections. If anyone out

What a great idea! I work with the schools as our school also does a
summer reading program. By working together we use each others reading
records for either the school or the library. This has help us both
because parents don't want to write all the titles twice. Also the school
does a party in the fall for those who participated. Sometimes they have
a performer come in and give the kids ice cream, other times it has been a
party at the local park.

We have an arrangement with one of our sponsors which is the local
county newspaper. They publish the names of the children who complete the
program. Staff inputs their names from a list onto a diskette which is
then given to the newspaper in the format they use for publication.
Parents sign a form which states they are allowing their child's names to
published. Most parents are thrilled to have the names printed. In the
multiple years, that we have done this in our system, there have only been
a few objections. The only one I personally received, was from an older
teenager (middle schooler), who didn't want anyone to know he had
participated and completed the summer reading program.
Our system has over 25,000 participants and usually over 5,000 completers
annually.
We have also published completer's names on our Library Website but some
libraries have had parents unwilling to have their children's names appear
there but don't mind the newspaper publication. The signoff form has a
column for each choice to be checked off by the parent.
In May/June some libraries make arrangements to have their staff visit
all/most of the classes in the local schools and talk about the summer
reading program. We have to have the county school system to signoff on
the distribution of our publicity before we can drop it off for each child
to take home or for us to hand out in the classes.
Some media specialists encourage their children to bring in their
certificates when they return in the fall and they receive some reward
or are honored in some other way at that school.
After years of frustration with booklists produced by the public and
private schools, public library staff develop graded booklists for the
public schools at the elementary level. The required lists by the middle,
high and private schools still create a demand for books which either we
don't own or don't have in the quantity needed by a particular grade or
for multiple schools reading the same book. This problem area is being
worked on.
One of the major roadblocks is the unwillingness by many schools/teachers
to determine which books will be read with enough lead time for the
library system to order some of the books in quantity. I think I have the
months correct but we want to order in February and the schools don't
decide the books until April. During the summer with the schools closed,
libraries bear the brunt of the anger of parents who can't get their
child's book when there isn't enough copies of a title.
Hope this helps.

A patron was in the library today looking for a book she first saw
here. It had a boy who at the beginning of the book was raising himself
(changing his own diapers, crawling in bed). He then decides to go look
for a mother. He comes across a man- he asks him "I need a mother. Will
you be my mother?" The man says no, he would be his old uncle. Then he
goes on asking bears and other creatures if they would be his mother,
they all respond no. They finally come across a woman pushing a buggy
that is empty- she proclaims that she needs a child- so they go home and
she is reading to him and he says "I need a father". He then goes out
to look for a dad. He finally finds a farmer and all ends well.
I looked at A to Zoo (orphans) and nothing rang a bell with the patron.
I also looked on amazon and bn.com using key words but no luck.
