Hello, A few weeks ago I posted a request for permission forms for a library sleepover or lock-in, as some of you call them. I received several from you, plus tips, ideas and just plain encouragement. Much to the CEO's surprise the library board thought that it was a great idea in spite of the insurance company's very negative view. One of the board members is a girl guide leader and is willing to volunteer for the night. So thank-you all very much.

I am really upset. Aside from our own circulation system with its bibliographic search capabilities, CBIP is my main reference source. I am constantly using the series search for obscure paperback series, keyword when I need to replace something, and the reviews when I need to justify a purchase (or what I've decided not to purchase). I e-mailed Bowker but have not gotten an answer. I don't know how many of you have made the switch from those heavy, tiny-printed space-taking volumes, but maybe those who have would want to write to R.R Bowker and let them know how you feel. And if anyone knows why they have done this, I would really like to know!

They're going to be a big help in my developing this collection. A number of people requested that I post or send them the responses I received. So here is the list of recommendations: Try JOE SCRUGGS Jim Gill and The Learning Station. Joanie Bartels music Smithsonian collection of music for children The "Child's Celebration of..." (Broadway, classical music, folk music, etc) put out by Music for Little People Red Grammar's tape (or cd) called Teaching Peace Peter Paul and Mommy, and other Peter Paul and Mary tapes; Mike and Carlene; Sugar Beats Trout Fishing in America :Mine! ,Big Trouble, My World, Family Music Party (this is a live album) Dinorock, "Dreamosaurus" Tom Paxton, "Goin' to the Zoo," "I've Got a Yo-Yo" Peter Himmelman, "My Best Friend is a Salamander" Cheech Marin, "My name is Cheech the school bus Driver" Persuasions, "On the Good Ship Lollipop" Dan Crow, "Oops!" Los Lobos, "Papa's Dream" Buckwheat Zydeco, "Choo Choo Boogaloo" Tom Chapin, "Zag Zig" Papillon, "Cajun for Kids" Charlie Daniels, "By the Light of the Moon" Sugar Beats, "21 Really Cool Songs," "Everybody is a Star" Barry Louis Polisar, "Little Different" Gunnar Madsen, "Old Mrs. Mackle Hackle" Josh Greenburg, "Go With the Flow" "Radio Disney Kidjams" "Rubber Biscuits: Doo-Wop for Kids" "Space Ghost's Surf & Turf" "Saturday Morning Cartoons Greatest Hits" "A Child's Celebration of Silliest Songs" (there's about a dozen of these "child's celebration of song" CD's, but this is the most popular) Anything by the The Chenille Sisters, especially "1-2-3 for Kids" & "Teaching Hippopotami to Fly' Greg & Steve are popular also; the duo have many recordings but "Kidding Around with Greg & Steve" and "Kids in Motion" are two of my favorites. The later is a good movement disc for story time programs. I'm also partial to the "Classical Kids" series of discs. If you're not familiar each one focuses on a specific classical music composer and tells a story with classical music excerpts as background music. A very nice & entertaining introduction to the world of classical music! Sample titles include "Hallelujah Handel" and "Mozart's Magnificent Voyage". More singable songs by Raffi, Can a jumbo jet sing the alphabet by Hap Palmer, and various Sharon, Lois and Bram albums. These artists as well as Fred Penner, Marcus ;Wee Sing Silly Songs, Wee Sing Lullabies, etc. Buckwheat Zydeco :Choo Choo Bugaloo. For the teachers, I find the Folkways Collection from the Smithsonian to be a good resource. Their catalogue lists a lot of Ella Jenkins cds as well as some Woodie Guthrie classics. "So Big" by Hap Palmer "Learning Basic Skills through Music" (set of 4) by Hap Palmer "Wee Sing Songs and Fingerplays" "Piggyback Songs" by Jean Warren "Singable Songs for the Very Young Thanks again, Georgi

We have an automatic log-off program on our terminals, but the patrons have figured out they can just log back on. And, in reality, we do not have a big problem with stations being "hogged" and people having to walk away thinking there is nothing available. The idea of the timers was so we would not have to be enforcers and chase people off the stations. We have a lot of stations and people can usually find one available. Our biggest problem seems to be the parents who ignore (or get harsh with) their children, like I said. I think we will approach this from the "unattended children" angle, as was suggested by several people. Because, even though the parents are "there," they are not acting in a responsible fashion and seem to think being in the same room is paying enough attention. Thanks again for providing some additonal insights and food for thought. Karen Sonderman Taylor Library Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio ------------------------------ From: "Gretchen Krieger" <gkrieger91@hotmail.com> To: pubyac@prairienet.org Subject: Re: Outer Space Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed Date: Wed, 31 May 2000 18:17:43 CDT I planned and implemented an outer space story hour. I was able to get a large cardboard box (one that furniture came in) and I made a space ship out of it. The kids went inside, poked their heads out of the window I made and I took a picture of them. I also made a large moon and hung it on a wall. The kids then colored spaceships and I put them all around the moon when they were done. I also decorated the room with stars. I cut out different sizes of stars and put some glitter on them. I then hung them using invisible thread. I used the corner of the room where we had story hour. The stars hung over the children's head and the moon was in the background while the spaceship was to the side of me while I read stories. I also pretended that we were astronauts. We all put on spacesuits using sound effects to put the pieces of clothing . Then we counted down and blasted off to a planet. We float around the room and I had the kids tell me what they saw in space. For example, if we saw rocks flying we had to duck. The kids loved it!!! I can fax you photos of it if you like.

Istook (R-OK) offered a filtering amendment to the House Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education appropriations bill. The amendment would prohibit use of Elementary and Secondary Education Act Title III funds by any school not using "technology which filters or blocks -- (1) material that is obscene; (2) child pornography; and (3) material harmful to minors" while the computers are being used by children. It was included in the bill on a voice vote. ACTION NEEDED: During the Memorial Day recess, library supporters, and especially school library supporters, should urge their Representatives to actively oppose the Istook filtering provision of the Labor-HHS- Education appropriations bill. Legislators should know that federal filtering mandates are an inappropriate intrusion into a matter best addressed at the local level: how to provide safe and appropriate Internet access to minors. Legislators should be informed of how local schools and communities are addressing this issue.

Hawk" <hawks@mail.dekalb.public.lib.ga.us> To: yalsa-l@ala1.ala.org, PUBYAC@prairienet.org, CHLIB-L@LIST.DTAE.TEC.GA.US, ya-yaac@ala.org, alsc-l@ala.org Subject: Mehndi permission Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Date: Wed, 31 May 2000 22:00:18 CDT Please excuse cross-posting. A while back, some very nice person faxed me their library's permission form and info sheet for a Mehndi program. Unfortunately, between the time I received the fax and now that I'm ready to draft my own version, I have moved to a new location. I've been digging through all my boxes, crates, and unpacked files, but to no avail. The fax is lost. If you are the kind soul who faxed me the info in the first place, or if you are someone new who would like to send me their own form, I'd greatly appreciate receiving it anew. Please email me directly if you can send it as an attachment, or fax me at the number below. Thank you very much. *********************************************************** Susan R.
