How do other libraries handle their program registration for children's
storytimes?. We have a very popular storyteller and our regular story
time sessions are always overbooked with long waiting lists. We have
tried various methods, in person registration, telephone registration etc
and are now considering using a lottery system. Has anyone out there had
experience with such a system or with another way to ensure equity?

Another great library site for space related summer program ideas:

I read the posts about library sleepovers with interest. This has been
the only
activity posted to PUBYAC that I wondered about?
I just have always wondered what the benefits are of having
children/teens
sleep over at the library. Could anyone explain?

Does anyone have a poetry bibliography on their website or know of one that
is good? I have some money to spend on poetry books and would like a list
to work from...possibly classics (along the lines of books that one should
have in a collection) or multicultural suggestions. (I have looked but
haven't found anything yet that really suits my needs. I tried Children's
Literature Web Guide and Kay Vandergrifts site, among others.)
Thanks!

Do you give away library promotional items? If so, what types of =
items (magnets, pens, etc.) and where did you get them? What items did =
patrons like the best?
Thanks!

Our local gardening club put in a butterfly garden outside the children's
room windows; we have butterfly i.d. guides there for the kids to use. The
Friends of the Library sold "message" bricks ($75 per brick for a 3
line
message) that paved the front area and a new garden area around the
flagpole- raised a lot of money for library purposes. People LOVE finding
their brick.

I sent the following post over a week ago but never saw it, so I'm
resending:
Our SRP theme is "Dive Into Reading", and we plan to have sand castle
building as one of our programs. This will be an outside program. Water is
readily available and we'll have cans, cartons & other forms/tools for
children to use. If you've done this program and have any tips or ideas,
please forward them to me. We'll appreciate any help you can give us. TIA!

I'm leading a book discussion group for teens next Tuesday on the book,
"The
Road Home" by Ellen Emerson White and have had no luck finding information
about the author. I've checked Yahoo, Google and Something About the Author.
If any of you have seen an interview with White and could share it with me, I'd
be ever so grateful.

Does anyone know of a picture book with a mallard duck
with a proper name? Obviously I can find nonfiction,
but we are looking for a story.

Chicago: American Library Association, 2000.

"Peck's book has two specific strengths: it is written in language that is
clearly understandable, and it is a concise and thoughtful gathering of
contemporary legal opinion on a variety of first amendment issues as they might
have an impact on libraries.
He includes numerous footnotes with citations to cases that will assist not only
researchers but lawyers who may represent libraries. "

A patron is looking for a book she read about in her local
(rural northern California) free throw-away newspaper. It is
an anthology written by a high school class. She believes
the title may be The McMillan Chronicles and the school may
be located in Southern California.
If anyone has information about this book, please let me
know. I'd also appreciate information about any recent
book-length publications that were written by high school
students, anywhere in the US or Canada.
Please reply directly to me at the address below, not to the
entire list. If others are interested, I will be happy to
summarize the replies for the list. Thanks!

Hello, A patron is looking for two stories that were
read to her in the 1950's. Both stories were in the
same book. She thinks the title of the book was the
"Tall Book of ..." She is sure of the first title:
Granny Glittens and Her Amazing Mittens. The other
story has a character named Giant Grummer who ate
lindberger cheese. All the people in town held their
noses when they passed his house. I have checked The
Storyteller's Sourcebook and The Index to Fairy Tales.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Dear collective brains,
A patron of mine, working part time in a local high school media center, got
a stumper from a student, and we're stumped here too.
Here's the description (3rd hand now): it's a children's book about the
Holocaust (no idea how old) set in a forest. It's allegorical in nature.
An evil force (Nazi's) gradually takes away part of each kind of animal
group, little by little. She said there are a lot of foreign-born students
at her school, so it's even possible that the book wasn't published in the
U.S. (or even that it might not be in English!).
Any help would be most appreciated!!! Thanks in advance!

A patron ask about a book that contains caterpillars in a pile and when
asked what they were doing, they responded that they were "going to the
top." In the end, they turned into butterflies...Does this sound
familiar? I looked in A to Zoo, many possibilities, but no clue as to
which one it could be. Thank you in advance for any help you may give
me. Please reply to me off list at: jean@clarksville.org
