The only real back-talk we have had (and there hasn't been much) about this is the parents! When the kids register, they do get a coupon from a local hamburger chain just for registering, so they do get something (besides the joy of reading, of course!). This helps some with the record keeping, though not too much with the confusion (at least for the first 2-3 weeks when kids are really signing up hot and heavy). One reason I instituted this last year was because kids can count time or books with prizes for every five books or hours. Little kids can get five books in nothing flat; older kids counting hours don't have it so easy. We had situations where younger siblings were read at least 5 books before leaving the library while older sibs had to wait until they could read 5 hours.

These books are definitely picture books but whose concepts need a more mature reader (listener) than the average picture book user. We do not put books that are just long there if the maturity level is still 4-6 year-old. So Rose Blanche is there. As is The Story of Jumping Mouse and Just Plain Fancy and The Widow's Broom, but not Astrid Lindgren. We are very protective of this collection. More and more writers (publishers) seem to be producing this kind of book so we are grateful to have such a section. We find it very popular with parents.

The last time I checked, there were 1100 holds. But it's been a few days so I am sure there are more now. I hope we get our copies soon! I know there will be a great demand for them.

We have 70 copies of HP4 on order, with 567 holds. This exceeds our purchase alert ratio of 4 holds per copy, but I doubt whether we can afford to buy any more copies. We still have signficant hold lists on HP2: 241 holds for 70 copies, and HP3: 192 holds for 70 copies. We satisfied our holds for HP1 by buying hundreds of copies of the paperback. We can't wait for the paperbacks of 2 and 3, with 2 rumoured to be out this fall.

But I just checked the Salt Lake County Library System. This system has 18 branches. They have ordered 800 copies of the latest Harry Potter, and they currently have 2,149 holds on it. Here is their web pac: http://www.slco.lib.ut.us/ I'm anxiously awaiting my personal copy of Goblet of Fire from Amazon arriving via FedEx tomorrow. I've enjoyed the little tidbits that a few of you who have already read #4 have been sharing.

There are 143 reserves and we have ordered 150 copies. They haven't arrived at the branches yet, I don't know if they are in Processing or not. We also ordered through Ingram.

Has anyone experienced a loss of readership due to the availability of computers? Are kids doing computers instead of reading books? Jodi Cohen Principal Librarian Tampa-Hillsborough County Public Library System

My biggest difficulty was finding an intact fish with the head and one that was not cut open. Hopefully you can get one but call ahead.~vida

Sponges work excellently. They can be bought already shaped at craft stores or you can buy the flat sponges, at craft stores, and cut them yourself. Just wet them and they expand to full sponge size. I know this doesn't answer about the fish-on-shirt or shirt-on-fish question, but for fish-aphobic people, this might work! Good luck.

There is nothing more frustrating than trying to find a book and having to go through all the "S"s to do it.

As I mentioned earlier, I haven't bought the Left Behind Kids series. A young patron (she's 8) asked if we had them. When I said "No," she said,"Well, then, do you have something else scary--like Goosebumps?"
