If you think you have some that fit the guidelines below, please submit them for review to: Jennifer Bromann 8449 S. Moody Prairie Trails Public Library Burbank, IL 60459 Or bromannj@hotmail.com Or Fax with attention to Jennifer Bromann at 708 430 5596 Guidelines for submission of booktalks. 1. Submissions must be booktalks for contemporary YA novels or adult novels with YA appeal, focusing on, but not limited to, grades 7-12. 2. Genres or types of books should be science fiction, historical fiction, short stories, realistic fiction, fantasy, short books, non-fiction, horror, mystery/suspense, humor, romance, adventure, fairy tales, sports, and adult books. Others, such as graphic novels, will be considered, as well. 3. Booktalks can be a variety of lengths, but we are especially looking for shorter talks. 4. Although any booktalks will be considered, we are mostly looking for those that have a direct relation to a young adults life, but that represent a variety of styles and approaches. 5. Talks should use an attention getting question, character, scene from the book, a real life situation, whether from the news or a teenager’s life, or pop culture, and plot summaries should focus on the young adults, although other talks will be considered as examples of different styles. 6. Booktalks should be tested in front of a young adult audience. 7. Submissions should be original and not be previously published in any other print or on-line publication or web site. 8.

I know it has been discussed before but, without archives, I must do it again! We are getting ready to add a graphic novel collection to some of our branches. What have those of you with collections done about cataloging and processing? Do you treat them as YA fiction, YA paperbacks or put them in nonfiction? We do not have a separate YA nonfiction collection - they would be treated as Adult. TIA for any advice - please respond directly to me. -- Robin Del Guidice Youth Services Specialist/Collection Development Services Tampa Hillsborough County Public Library 900 N.

------------------------------ From: Andrew Finkbeiner <ANDREW@rockford.lib.il.us> To: "'pubyac@prairienet.org'" <pubyac@prairienet.org> Subject: Harry Potter--Christian Viewpoint MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Date: Thu, 27 Apr 2000 14:21:15 CDT In the spirit of the recent PLA presentation "Intellectual Freedom and the Fundamentalist Christian," I would direct your attention to the following essay: "Exploring Harry Potter's World" by Lindy Beam, Focus On The Family magazine, May 2000 issue, pages 14-15. Those who are interested in learning why Harry Potter ranks as a "dangerous" book to many conservative evangelical Christians will find that this essay reasonably presents the problems based on scripture and offers solutions for families that do _not_ include banning the books from schools and public libraries. This essay is worth the time and effort of Interlibrary Loan if your library does not subscribe to the magazine. Perhaps some of your Christian patrons subscribe and could get you a copy faster!

Our regular performers include Tears of Joy, Celeste Rose's Oregon Fantasy Theatre, Carter Family Marionettes, Greg Harris's Indonesian Shadow Puppetry, the Oregon Shadow Puppet Theatre, and Mark Levenson's Punch and Judy. These are all great puppeteers but we would like to increase our possibilities. If you have suggestions and contact information, please send them to me.

I have seen many stumpers answered so maybe you can help. I have a patron who is trying to find a book that was read to her in the mid 70's when she was in third grade in Oregon. It's the story of children who discover little people entering their playhouse through a tunnel in the floor. The little people were from the land of OG. The children went back with the people to the land of OG. She has fund memories of this book and would like to find it. TIA. -- Sandra Pierce Youth Services Librarian Youth Services Department Northwest Regional Library System Bay County Public Library 25 W.

We have a patron who would like a list on the topic, with immigration stories that are fairly easy to read but cover a range of ages to early teen.
