The topic of the workshop will cover various aspects of juvenile reference. I was wondering if anyone on this list has attended, hosted, or presented such a workshop and if you could recommend speakers. We have not determined a format, so are open to one speaker to cover the entire topic or perhaps several speakers to address different aspects of the topic. We can be very flexible and topics can range from materials selection, Internet and electronic resources, working effectively with teachers, creating path finders, homework support, teaching research skills, collaborations between school and public libraries and probably a lot of other things I haven't considered. The audience for the workshop will be school as well as public librarians. If anyone has any suggestions or ideas, I would appreciate your help. Thanks.

I am posting this request for a school librarian that posted it to LM_NET- a mailing group for School Librarians. Please respond directly to Belinda as she doesn't have access to PUBYAC. Thank you. ======================================================================== I really need to hear from the Secondary Media Specialists who have had success in scheduling programs/presentations that attracted teens (really ages 11-19). I am working in a Part Time grant position this summer and my focus is to schedule any types of programming in public libraries that will draw the teenagers. If you have any great ideas, please send them directly to me. Thanks and have a great summer! Belinda Pope (BePope@aol.com) Media Specialist Seminole Presbyterian School Tampa, Fl. -- Mary J.

We had a craft for the younger kids. We precut strawberry shapes and then they glued some (our kids got 3 each) to a piece of paper. They used markers or crayons to put the seeds (dots) on, drew leaves, and then connected the strawberries with a stem of green yarn that they glued on. For kids that are older, the California strawberry association has a website http://www.calstrawberry.com/strawberryvile/berrymagic with a flip book the kids can make showing the growth of a strawberry. -----Original Message----- From: vmenor [mailto:vmenor@is2.dal.ca] Sent: Friday, June 02, 2000 2:20 PM To: pubyac@prairienet.org Subject: Strawberry Festival Ideas
There is a Strawberry Festival running from June 29th-July 1st, and I am looking for craft,games, or activities that the library can do. The library hasn't done anything for the last few years, and searching the web for strawberry fesitval gives a list of places that have festivals, but not what the activities/games/crafts are. I am not particulatly "crafty" so I would need something fairly simple, and preferably not too messy. Please reply to me off the list, and if there is interest I will compile the suggestions into one email. Thanks, Vanessa vmenor@is2.dal.ca ------------------------------ From: "Denise I.

I would suggest starting with two classics: "Adam of the Road" (Elizabeth Gray) and "Door in the Wall" (Marguerite De Angeli). The rest have been published in the last 5 years or so. In particular I suggest Cadnum's "Book of the Lion" (hot off the presses) and Morressy's "The Juggler." Both books are meticulously researched. Skurzynski's "Spider's Voice" was fascinating to me simply because I have always enraptured by the Abelard/Heloise romance. I included a few "legends" set in the middle ages.....

A patron remembers reading a book in the mid sisties about a young girl with a younger brother who lived in Florida in an apartment. There was an older couple in the picture--?relatives of some kind. These siblings meet another boy who is kind of an outsider and they become friends. Toward the end of the book a hurricane comes and they barely make it to shelter. The memorable part is the book opens with the girl reaching for the hot faucet and then pulling back because she realizes she should use cold water to clean up from her brothers bloody nose. She doesn't remember title or author and thinks there were few or no drawings, possibly line black and white and the length was about the same as a Trixie Belden mystery. I've checked our system and consortium for anything with hurricane as a key word as well as a few other databases, but we aren't sure if hurricane is in the title. Please let me know at carole@sonoma.lib.ca.us if you have any clues for me. Thanks much.

This one comes from a staff member who remembers a picture book from the 50's about a family that keeps adding on to their house as they need room for more possessions. They add rooms for the model train set and other items until their house goes over the hill and down the other side. She thinks the illustrations were "like Lois Lenski" but not really hers. The word "house" may be in the title. I've looked through A to Zoo, but haven't had success yet. Any takers? Please send any possibles to me: couillar@dakota.lib.mn.us Thank you!

One about a French Fashion Doll and the other about a boy and his uncle and their island/"rare earth" adventure. Thanks to Connie Rockman, the doll book is The Wonderful Fashion Doll by Laura Bannon. We were able to get it through ILL out of state and have a happy library user. Thanks to others who made suggestions. The biggest surprise of all was the price we found for a used copy of this book after the woman knew it was the correct one - two were listed at over $1000. each and are no longer on the site, but another is now available for over $500.

I have a patron who is looking for a book she read as a child in the 70's in South Africa. The book was set in Britain and involved three or four children whose mother is ill. The oldest child visits an antique store and buys a small wooden carved ship. They discover that the ship is able to grow to full size and take them on journeys into the past. She thinks it was a Viking ship. The children discover that if they pass their hand over the prow of the ship in the historical place, they are able to understand and speak the language of that time and place, and they are appropriately dressed for the times. They bring a girl from Norman Times back the present-day England. She thinks the title was "The Flying Ship", but the only thing we can find under this title is the folktale "The Fool and the Flying Ship" which is not the story we're looking for. We don't even know whether this was ever published in America. Does this ring a bell for anyone? Please email me directly at ldurbin@chuhpl.lib.oh.us. Thanks in advance!
