I am a graduate student at Queens College, NY doing research for a paper
on lapsit programs and how they relate/lead to reading motivation. I have
looked at Linda Ernst's book Lapsit Services for the Very Young and Debby
Ann Jeffery's book Literate Beginnings. Does anyone have any other
suggestions or perhaps any research or studies that have been performed on
this? How about any websites or specific journal articles on this topic?
Thanks so much for your help and ideas.

This sounds all very wonderful but I believe the original message had to do with
parents who do not model good reading behaviours. Who on the contrary show by
their actions that reading and consideration for others is not important. We all
want participa
nts to enjoy the program and I encourage parents to take part but I think that
we are talking about the parents who aren't listening, aren't learning how to
share books or the words to rhymes etc. These parents take away from the
experience for those chi
ldren who want to listen to the stories and take part in a meaningful way.

Just my opinion, but I encourage my parents to stay with the children during
storytime. As one of you said, I plan it as an activity for both. Too many
times children are "dumped" at this or that activity. I would like for
the
library to be somewhere that families can come as a unit. I guess I'm lucky
that most of my parents are very well mannered and don't carry cell phones.

Many years ago my storytimes were sans parent. The kids were better
behaved, and more predisposed to listen and interact with me in
fingerplays and songs, etc. Some parents used the time to shop, choose
their own books or talk to each other outside, but most of them hung
around the door eager to see what their children were doing. Now we have
a children's librarian and an open room. She welcomes the parents as
participants. We are finding that young parents need and welcome the
exposure to nursery rhymes, good books to read to their very young
children and,yes, they really do enjoy being read to as well! We teach
them to love and respect good books and to be comfortable in the library
and with the librarians. The library is different from a playground
where a child can shout and run. Maybe I'm being old-fashioned, but we
don't see anything wrong with expecting a certain standard of behavior
from people using the library no matter who they are. Marilyn Schlansky

We participated in our local 4H fair a few times. We did have the
handouts, but we also did a mini-storytime. We had a rocking chair and a
little rug in our booth, as well as a basket of sure-fire books...(Caps
for Sale, etc). We would often get a handful of children sitting down to
listen to a story and loving it. The biggest crowd at any one time for
this, I recall, was about twenty. Volunteers signed up for two hour
stretches and read a story to any child who was interested during those
two hours. We also handed out balloons one year that said Putnam County
Libraries on them. Marilyn Schlansky Reed Memorial Library, CArmel NY

Thanks so much for introducing this topic to the list, as we all strive to
give the best service possible to our patrons.
I feel very fortunate to work in a library that manages to offer BOTH
family storytimes and children-only storytimes. Over the course of a
month, parents can make the choice that is right for their child. We
offer independent storytimes for older preschoolers, "storyhour
extravaganzas" which accomodate families and groups, and family-specific
events such as "family storytime" and "Bedtime stories".
I was surprised that some people who responded to this topic had the
idea that independent experiences for preschoolers were somehow
regimented and not fun! The goals for the family experience and the
independent experience may differ, but both formats are quite enjoyable!
Having done hundreds of both types of programs, my opinion is that these
older preschoolers tend to get more out of the independent experience, but
I'm glad to have the option to offer both.

That is very interesting, Susan. Out of curiosity, I went to my favorite
web search engine (Altavista) and did this search (with their Family
Filter off):
+"Girl Scout songs"
I got 121 hits. Exactly zero of them were "adult" sites. I tried the
same search with no + or quotes, and got the same set of hits. I tried
the same search with no capitalization (Altavista is sensitive to
capitalization) and got 177 hits, no "adult" sites. Finally, I tried
the
search again with the Family Filter on (girl scout songs) and got 110
hits, no "adult" sites.
Not that I disagree with anything you've said... but I'm very curious
to hear which search engine you're using!

Our story hour for 3-6 yr olds is without parents. It runs beautifully and
the kids have a great time. The few who can't separate from Mom are asked
to try again in a few months or go to the toddler storytime with Mom. The
parents enjoy getting to socialize out of the room where no one is asking
them to be quiet.
Story time for birth to 3 is run by the parents - each Mom signs up for one
week.

If there is room, I don't see why parents can't attend with their kids
provided that the children sit independently. It gives parents a chance
to see some of the books in the library that they might not have noticed
before, to learn a song or action rhyme to do with their kids at home
(extending the library experience, so to speak), and to see how well (or
not) their kids do in a group setting (especially effective if a child
doesn't realize his/her parent has slipped back in--often the case in my
library). I can make strong cases for both sides of the issue, but I
like the idea of a parent being involved as long as it does not detract
for the child's experience. If adult rudeness is an issue, I know of
one library in which a few of the regular parents volunteer during story
time to try to keep kids and parents alike more focused; although I
haven't observed the situation myself, it seems to be working well for
that library!

Becky,
I remember reading an article several years back in one of the library
journals about a public library that staffed a reference booth at the fair.
They had a cell phone to call the library for difficult questions, and they
had basic reference tools like the World Almanac on site.
The gist was that they would "prove" their skill at answering
reference
questions within a certain time frame. Fair goers could fill out a question
form and stop back by later, or the staff would find the answer for them asap.
Let us know what you decide and how it goes!
Blessings,

As a parent of four children I have attended storytimes where parents were
included and other storytimes where I have been excluded. Generally, the
cut-off for parents was three. I enjoy it alot more when I was invited in.
I get to listen to the books with my child and later can talk about the books
or borrow them. I do find it disturbing when parents talk to each other
during storytime. When this did happen the librarian used to stop and remind
them to be quiet. It was rare when a parent had to control her child's
behavior. Most children behaved better than their parents. I guess
librarians feel that parents should be excluded for just this reason. I
would offer the parents the option to remain if they wished but remind them
they should be quiet. I've been in libraries in Woodmere and Queens.

We have developed a minute counting program. The children collectively read
enough
minutes to reach Mars. I figured out how many days it would take for a space
ship
to travel to Mars and divided this to find out how many minutes it would take.
The
children are challenged as a group to read enough minutes to reach Mars in 62
days.
I worked this out for a group of 10 children. Each child would need to read 10
hrs
per day.
If there are more children, they would have to read a less amount of time.
I developed a thermometer chart with the days divided by hours. The hour bars
would
be filled in as the amount of time/per day is tallied. The thermometer chart
starts the kids off from Earth and they land in Mars at the top. I called it
Minutes to Mars.
Once an individual has read 24 hours they would receive a Mars drivers license
to
explore Mars and determine why the Polar Lander mission failed. There is an
internet site that actually prints off a Mars Drivers License and lets them
"explore" Mars.
Hope this helps.

Some libraries have had problems with parents using the libray as a baby sitting
service.
They have resorted to contacting the parents or guardians. If this does not work
or they cannot locate a guardian, the library phones the
government agency in charge of child well being and calls the police.
This has brought an effective end to the use of the library as a babysitting
service.

books? We have a patron with a son who comes to
storytime and has a prosthetic arm. We've been getting
requests for books about prosthetics and kids/people
who have them for ages 3-8. Any titles or suggestions
you have would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much!

Hello, pubyacers!
Some of you have mentioned in the past that you have the Bob Books for
beginning readers in your collection. I ordered them, and now that I see
them, I wonder how best to circulate them. They are small, thin, paper
booklets.
So far, the only idea I have is to split them up by color and put them in
Janway media bags, so that the kids borrow one bag (containing two or more
books) at a time.
What do you do with your Bob books? Your suggestions will be greatly
appreciated!
