Dear Becky, Toni, Marge, and others who sent recipes and memories about
Knickerbocker Glories:
Thanks!! My kids of course want me to whip up a batch right away!
Here's the recipe for all who wondered:
Martha Simpson
Knickerbocker Glory
1 4-serving package raspberry jello
2 bananas
2 fresh peaches, sliced or 16-oz. can sliced peaches
1/2 cup whipping cream, stiffly whipped
Vanilla ice cream (or other flavors, if desired)
Nuts
4 cherries (fresh or glace)
Shaved chocolate, if desired
Melba sauce:
8 oz fresh or frozen raspberries
juice of 1/2 lemon
1/4 cup sugar
2 oz shelled hazelnuts, finely chopped
Make the jello according to package directions, then leave to set.
Meanwhile, make the Melba sauce: put the raspberries, lemon
juice and sugar in a pan and heat gently until the sugar has
dissolved. Remove from the heat, then strain into a large measuring
cup. Measure puree, adding water if necessary to make 1 cup.
Mix the hazelnuts to a paste with a little cold water. Return the
puree to the rinsed-out pan, stir in the paste and bring to a boil.
Lower the heat and simmer until the sauce thickens, stirring
constantly. Let cool.
Chop the jello roughly, then put 1 spoonful in the bottom of
each of 4 large sundae glasses. Put a few peach slices on top of
the jello. Peel and slice the bananas, then put a few slices on
top of the peaches. Put 1 scoop of ice cream in each glass, then
pour over a little of the Melba sauce and sprinkle with nuts.
Continue with these layers until all the ingredients are used up,
then pipe a whirl of cream on top of each glass and top with a
cherry and shaved chocolate, if desired - 'delicious'.
Serve immediately.

I would appreicate anyone sending me info on a source that sells some
type of "ribbon" or large button that says "Volunteer" or
"Libary
Volunteer". I found a pin in Rivershore's Reading Store catalog, but
it's rather small for my needs. I'd like our YA volunteers to wear a
ribbon/pin while volunteering this summer at the library - something
visible, reasonably price and of course, appropriate for the YA group.
Thanks in advance! Kathleen, MN

Hi! A patron came in the other day and was looking for a book for her
daughter. She's in 1st grade and is having trouble in school
(academically). We couldn't find any books that would help her feel better
about herself. I'm thinking Leo the Late Bloomer, but it may be too young.
Any other ideas?
We checked A to Zoo but were a bit overwhelmed with all the school books.
I'll compile and post back to the list any answers I get. Thanks so much!

I have received so many great ideas from all of you "out there" that
I've
decided to try again. I have plenty of books, but I need some program ideas
for a Pets themed storytime. Our story times are rather small (10-15 kids)
from ages 1 to about 6. Please send any suggestions to me off-list:
sesmith5@hotmail.com
Thanks,

Please excuse the cross posting.
Thanks to everyone for making reccomendations for my highly-partisan
science fiction/fantasy book group.
As a refesher -- My teen sci-fi/fantasy group is split among party lines
between the pure sci-fi and the dragons. They are having a hard time
picking books for everyone to enjoy. I asked for scientific fantasy books
or fantasic science fiction books for YA's.
Those of you who suggested spliting the group into two -- one exclusively
science fiction, one fantasy only had a valid point. Unfortunately, the
group isn't large enough to support this, and the kids themselves are very
much opposed to it. (They like argueing -- a lot)
Here is the complitation of your suggestions. I also asked the kids to try
to think of books that everyone would enjoy reading. I've included those
with the suggestions from PUBYAC and YALSA-BK, and noted those
"kid-approved" titles with a *.

Help me! I am doing an evening Family Storytime on
April 12th and I have no ideas. I have only been
doing storytime for a couple of months. I am an early
childhood librarian so the oldest person I have read
to is six years old. I need some amazing ideas that
include all age groups. Are there things that work
great for you or things not to do? You can respond
directly to me and I will post any results to the
group.
Thank You!!!!!!
