Kansas City Public Library does this. The kids link page is the home page

on all the computers located in the children's areas. It doesn't totally

discourage the people we would like to discourage but does serve the

excellent purpose of giving kids guided use of the Internet and still allows

them to search beyond the page and our links. You can check it out by going

to kclibrary.org and choosing KidLinks. One other thing,since we consider

the bringing up of inappropriate sites in the children's areas a behavior

issue we will not not let repeat offenders sign up for those computers even

if they are the only ones available at the moment.

How to Make a Wizard's Wand

You will need:

1 wooden dowel

2 or 3 watercolor markers

White glue

1 shooting star spray for the end of your wand*

Sequins

2 pieces blue masking tape (don't take these until you're ready)

(*shooting star spray is made ahead of time using the star garlands sold

for Christmas trees and packages around the holidays - cut into approx

three-inch pieces and bundle several together with tape)

Directions:

1 Use the watercolor markers to decorate your wand.

2 Wrap a piece of blue masking tape at the bottom, where your hand will

hold it.

3 Take your shooting star spray and hold it against the other end of the

wand. Use another piece of blue masking tape to secure it in place.

4 Dab white glue on your wand wherever you would like a "jewel".

5 Place a sequin in each dab of glue.

6 See the librarian for a special "glow-in-the-dark" addition to your wand

(we glued glow-in-the-dark stars on for them).

After we made these, I thought of using real "twigs" and attaching a

feather - more like the wands in the books.

Have fun!

Mary,

You raise an interesting point and I'm happy to hear that your leadership

resulted in more money. We have to be so careful today in how we ask

children to participate.

On the other hand, involving the children can empower them by letting them

know that their efforts are important - what they do matters - and may

provide new experiences. It may also give them a "vested interest", so to

speak, that lets them feel that it's "my library".

I hope there is room enough for both practices in our society today. I,

for one, will use your idea sometime while I also continue to support

children's efforts in fundraising.

Thanks for sharing.

We have a McElligot's fish pond. Typical carnival type - kids throw line with magnet on end into a scene painted on cardboard - they hook a fish and then turn fish in for prize. We do a storytelling of Hop on Pop and lay out huge pieces of the packing material that pops for kids to jump on.

Jan Wall asked an interesting question about how you keep yourself

fresh, and not burned out after you've been in youth services a long time.

It's one I've been wrestling with lately. For me, up to now, the

answer has seemed to be that there has been so much change in the field --

technology playing a major role -- that my job is very different in some

respects than it was 10 years ago -- not to mention 25 years ago when I

first got out of grad school.

It helps I think if you try not to settle in too much. I don't mean

change jobs necessarily, but try to look at what you are doing and evaluate

and change things around. What types of programs, when they are offered,

what parts of the population are you not reaching and how can you change

that, etc. Staying active in professional organizations helps a lot. Once

you feel that conferences and meetings can't tell you anything you don't

already know, you are in trouble!

It's hard work to not fall into a rut, and even harder to climb out

once you realize you're in one.

I'd love to hear ideas from anyone else, since I'm beginning to feel

the ruts getting deeper and burn out getting closer!

The "teacher" stores are loaded with these kinds of workbooks, at at cost

of under $3 each. Lots of homeschooling parents use them, I used them for

I've also noticed that many parents don't allow the children to answer the reference interview questions. I always try to talk directly to the child but sometimes it is hard. The parents seem to feel that they can do a better, if not quicker job of explaining what the kid needs. Any ideas to combat this or work around it to get the kids to talk to us?

Thank you for the compilation of the state summer themes.

To All,

I am interested in the space related summer themes and wonder if any

libraries with those themes have a web page with summer program ideas

available or in progress. If so, would you please share your URL either

directly with me or to the list if there is other interest.

Wisconsin is using Ticket to Tomorrow, but our state and library system

pages are not "up" yet. I can post the information when they are ready if

there is an interest.

I have list of other sites related to the theme, but would like to see

directly what libraries are planning.

Dear Colleagues:

We are looking to start a scholarship program (offered by the library)

to support staff who would like to return to school to complete

undergraduate work or to enroll in graduate programs. This would

include our young adults who have worked as pages and are going on to

college. If you have direct knowledge of such a program or can send us

on to a library that offers scholarships, we would love to hear from

you. Funding is clearly an issue, but we are also interested in nuts

and bolts procedural matters.

Many thanks for your collective wisdom. Please e-mail me directly.

I certainly can understand your problems, being a young adult librarian at a

library where the high school is right next door. We are constantly overrun

with high schoolers and middle schoolers during the after school hours. And

they can be very hard to handle.

One thing I have learned working with teenagers is that they are often not

how they seem. How you see them act usually has a lot to do with how many

friends they're with. If you get them alone they can be much different.

One of the biggest reasons they act out is they do not feel like they are

given any sort of positive attention. They feel that every single thing

they do is picked on, so they might as well act how people expect them to

act. You really ned to make an attempt to dialogue with them. And, of

course it helps if they have a place they can go to call their own. I take

it your library does not have a young adult area. If not, then I have to

ask why not? If the children's area is the only place they can hang out in

, then of course they are going to cause problems. They really don't belong

there. They need a place to go where they belong.

It also really helps to maintain a sense of humor. It's almost impossible

to maintain a sense of humor when you are trying to enforce a behavior

policy as strictly as you can. Teenagers are going to act a certain way,

whether there is a behavior policy or not. It's the nature of the beast.

I'm not saying you should throw it out the window, but you do need to know

how to pick your battles.

I know how frustrating it can be, and I don't mean to sound like there are

any easy answers.

Last year I had a "Seuss-a-thon". I had people from the community come in and

read aloud from Seuss in blocks of 10 minutes all day long. We usually had an

audience, but a few times we were reading and listening to each other! But we

didn't stop for 9 hours.

Of course, my aides and I were dressed like Cat in the Hat all day, too. It was

Date: Wed, 23 Feb 2000 12:58:48 CST

Hi folks,

A woman came in today looking for a book she read as a child, maybe

20 years ago. I haven't had any luck locating this yet (using all of

the usual sources), and I wonder if it rings any bells for any of you?

 

She thinks the title is Idlewild or Idyllwild or something like that.

It's a chapter book about a young girl (maybe 10 or 12) who goes to live

with two aunts in the country during the war (not sure which war).

There,

she got to know another young girl whose father was something of a

n'er-do-well river rat. There was some kind of flooding event. One of

the aunts may have been named Nora.

 

Sound familiar to anyone?

Thanks so much in advance!

www.oyate.org : website that lists books

Native author Cynthia Leitich Smith has just published a

new picture book entitled JINGLE DANCER about a young Indian girl. To

quote from Smith's website description of the book: "JINGLE DANCER is

the story of Jenna, a contemporary Muscogee (Creek)-Ojibwe (Chippewa)

girl who, in bringing together her regalia, draws strength from the

women of her family and her intertribal Native American Indian community

in small town Oklahoma." (2 people suggested this book)

Cynthia Leitich Smith has a bibliography of contemporary Native American

Picture Books at the following address:

<http://www.cynthialeitichsmith.com/newnativenowa.htm>

 

If you want to consider picture books with a contemporary Native American

theme, try *The worry stone* by Marianne Dengler.

a picture book called Red Bird by Barbara Mitchell. The story is centered

around a young girl named Katie, whose Nanticoke name is Red Bird. Each

September Katie and her family meet with Native Americans from more than 40

tribes to celebrate their heritage. The story takes place in southern

Delaware, and the book explains that the Nanticoke are an Algonquian tribe.
