Jan,

Maybe they'll work with you. Our Parks and Recreation Department has
cooperated with the library for the past two years. We provide books for
their groups that meet in approximately 35 parks. They give us coupons for
their swimming pools and ice rinks as prizes for reading. We cooperate on
publicity, so everything has their logo and ours. They join us in our
kick-off party (which this year is in one of the parks because the main
library is being remodeled) and we join them in their finale carnival.

I don't know that it's brought in a lot of new children to the library but
those that do come love the new prizes.

Hello to all -

This summer our community will have a new swimming pool after having been
without for several years. It will be a really nice facility and is really
being hyped. (Rightfully so - the community has done a lot of work to have
it.)

My question is - has anyone dealt with a similar situation? I fear that our
numbers will be down with the new "competition" in town. Has anyone done
programs, publicity or anything in conjunction with a swimming pool? What
worked - what didn't?

Thanks for any ideas!

We have a huge public pool just down the street from the library, which
was expanded and renovated last summer. We run a six-week story session
at the pool every summer. We go from 12:30 - 1:00, when the pool is
closed between swimming lessons and the open swim. We encourage parents
and children to eat lunch on the grass or picnic tables and listen to
stories. The pool announces over their PA system that the stories will
be starting and we usually get a crowd of 15-20 kids of all ages. We
don't take books with us to circulate and we usually don't even take any
flyers, as they would end up all over the lawn. We will announce
upcoming programs so parents and children are aware. Many of the kids
come in to sign their reading minutes either before open swim or after -
we see lots of bathing suits in the summer! Even with the expansion and
renovation of the pool last year, our enrollment and completion numbers
for the summer reading program increased.

When I was young, I went to the public pool every day - and always had a
book with me!

It was easy for me too.

Hi all--
I have recently decided to cancel a few subscriptions of our magazines,
leaving me with some money to spend. Our community has a growing Hispanic
population, and I was wondering if there are any good children's magazines
in Spanish out there.
If you know of any, please email me at rkordatz@burlington.lib.wi.us

Thank you!

E! Online news From "Home Alone" to "Harry Potter" MARCH 28, 2000 - Forget
the New World, this Columbus is setting sail for Hogwarts. Warner Bros.
Pictures announced Tuesday that Chris Columbus, whose resume includes
kiddie-themed blockbusters like Home Alone and The Goonies, will helm Harry
Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, the first film adaptation of the
bestselling books about the teenage magician. "From the first time I read
Harry Potter with my children, I fell in love with these wonderful
characters and this world," Columbus said. "I'm thrilled and honored to
bring J.K. Rowling's classic story to the screen." In The Sorcerer's
Stone, the young Harry is summoned from his life as an unwanted foster
child to become a student at Hogwarts, a boarding school for wizards.
There, he meets fellow charmed kids who become his close allies and help
him discover the truth about his parents' mysterious deaths at the hands of
an evil sorcerer. Columbus won a fevered battle for what should be a
sure-thing project--Rowling's first three Harry Potter books have sold more
than 30 million copies and have been translated into 35 languages; the
fourth book, not due until July, is already topping Amazon.com's bestseller
list with advance orders. Up until last month, Columbus' mentor, Steven
Spielberg, was the top candidate to direct the first installment. But
Spielberg bailed over creative differences with Rowling and Warner Bros.
Spielberg wanted Sixth Sense spook spotter Haley Joel Osment as the
spell-spinner; the studio and author want to find an unknown British
schoolboy. Once the E.T. director dropped out, Columbus was tapped for the
Potter gig ahead several of A-listers, including Brad Silberling (City of
Angels), Jonathan Demme (Silence of the Lambs), Mike Newell (Pushing Tin),
Rob Reiner (The Story of Us) and Tim Robbins (Cradle Will Rock). "Since
the books have generated such a passionate following across the world, it
was important to us to find a director that has an affinity for both
children and magic," said Lorenzo di Bonaventura, president of worldwide
production for Warner Bros. Pictures. "I can't think of anyone more ideally
suited for this job than Chris." While the studio may be psyched, some
Potter-heads are already grousing about Columbus coming aboard. "Ugh. I
hope he doesn't make it like Home Alone," reads a posting on a Potter
fansite. "Harry is not Macaulay Culkin." Still, Warners and producer David
Heyman, who shelled out an eye-popping seven-figure sum for the film rights
to the mini-Merlin (unheard of for a kids' movie), got the pedigreed
director they wanted to launch a Potter film franchise. Columbus got his
start in Hollywood as a screenwriter on such Spielberg-produced kid flicks
as Gremlins, The Goonies and Young Sherlock Holmes before graduating to
director on films like Home Alone, Mrs. Doubtfire and Bicentennial Man.
Meanwhile, in other Harry haps, Rowling just announced her adolescent
wizard will discover girls in the forthcoming book. He'll also have to deal
with the death of one of the series' key characters.

We bound each set together (I can't remember the name of the system, but it is
sort of spiral bound, similar to the binding often used for reports and the
like), but they still must be fixed about every five or six charges. I have
been told that, despite the popularity (they are rarely in), I would not be
reordering them!

To all who sent suggestions,
Thank you for your suggestions. Teddy Grahams crackers/cookie and gummy
bears were most widely suggested as well as ants on a log. I had thought of
the latter, but wasn't sure how messy it would be. It was reassuring to
hear that others have used that "recipe." Thanks again!

Thank you very much to the people who took the time to share about their
books by mail programs. I had several requests to post results to the
list so here goes. Let me add to those who asked about $, this will be
through grant money so it will probably run on a trial basis. Also,
several people are sending me info. by mail so for anyone who is
interested email me and I will share that info. offlist when I get it.
1.Some libraries offer this service for free, others for a small fee.
2.I was cautioned that some of the bags that are sold for this purpose
do not accomodate certain sized picture books.
3.Decide ahead of time exactly which types of materials will be allowed
to circulate this way.
4.Consider checking the books out for twice the normal circ time.
5.Most libraries focus on adults for this service.
6.Talk to your local post offfice to work with them.
7.One library uses a staff of 2 for this service for 700 patrons.
If we do manage to get this up and running this summer I'll report back
whether it was a good idea or not!
Thanks again.

If you have the staff, one way to compromise might be to
have a handout of all the stories and fingerplays that you do.
This makes a wonderful resource for the parents to have.

We do not invite parents to our preschool program (3 1/2 - 5) mainly
b/c we feel it is a good way to prepare for nursery school, or if they
are
already in it, reinforcing the newly acquired independence. Some moms
need to sit at the doorway for a couple of times, but otherwise we think

the parents enjoy the time to browse, read, socialize or whatever they
choose.

The main point brought out here is, if we all do what feels right and
comfortable
to us, we will more than likely have a successful program.

Happy reading,

Wow! I can't imagine story hours so big! We have 12 -15 kids plus sibs and
caregivers for our infant, 18-30 month and 2 year old programs and 15-18 kids
(1 parent only for backup - different parent each session) for 3's and 4-6's.
While it's true that you couldn't fit any more in our room and still move
around at all, we still feel more comfortable giving one-on-one attention
with groups this size. We must do registration for all our daytime programs,
but are more flexible with our evening pj hours, where we also encourage
parents, but we have a wider age range for these and a less consistent
attendance. Programs for school age kids also have limits of 15 to 25,
depending on the program. We do a lot of programs, but feel more comfortable
with fewer children in a group.
Hope this helps.

having his net (he thinks the fisherman was throwing a net) get tangled up
with a manta ray. A struggle ensued. The gentleman swears it is NOT "The
Old Man and the Sea." His fiancee remembers this story, too, and how
wonderful it was (fiancee doesn't remember a title, even though both patrons
remember how much this story held their attention). We have searched Books
