SAS Shoes, also known as SAS Comfort Shoes, is located in San Antonio,
Texas. They make fantastic shoes: soft, lightweight soles; leather
uppers; good construction. I've been wearing the "Softie"
model--which
looks like a sleek loafer--for years: I've seen it in mocha, wine,
brown, navy, and black, and in all widths. They go well with tights,
short skirts, cotton jerseys, t-shirt dresses, and the occasional
jacket. Your local shoe store should carry them. They're really
great!! p.s. They make shoes for both women and men.

Monica,
Twice now, years apart, right before the summer reading club began we
went in and eliminated all juvenile fines. It made a difference.
We're
in a community where 70% of the children are eligible for free and
reduced lunches. When it's difficult to feed your children how can you
even begin to think about paying fines? And anyone that checks out a
great deal of books is going to incur fines (ask me, I know).

If it makes you feel better, Lon, I don't wear whimsical shoes
either. I might be inclined to wear purple high-tops, but they are both
hard to find for my size 9.5 wide feet, and disallowed by our library's
dress code. I do, however, have lots of other whimsical clothing, and
could
even be considered to have whimsical footwear if you count my
rainbow-striped tights (which both staff and patrons love, and which make me
feel as if I ought to have my hair in pigtails to match...).

I have to add my recommendation for SAS shoes. I LOVE them! In
California, they are available at Nordstroms and other pricey
department stores. The headquarters for these shoes is, I believe, in
Texas. I recently found a store selling SAS shoes exclusively and
bought three pairs of sandals. SAS has sandals and walking shoes,
leather and suede, no boot styles are available, unfortunately. The
shoes are super comfortable and very professional looking. The price
is $70 - $80 a pair, but with a 9 1/2 narrow shoe size and high arch, I
have never been able to buy those $7 shoes in K-Mart. They are the
perfect shoe for when you're on your feet all day.

Try going through your Health Dept. and Family
Resources. Also try the Youth Service Center or
counselor at the local high school. Not only can they
help you locate new moms, they can also help your
program by giving out information pertaining to their
organizations about nuturition, brain development etc.
Maybe you can even start a partership with them.
Hope this helps.

Hi. Please excuse the crossposting, our young adult programming
librarian is in a bit of a crunch. I know that I saw a thread regarding
permission slips for library overnight programs earlier this summer, but
of course didn't follow it carefully. Our library is doing a overnight
Teen Readathon to kick off Teen Read Week, and she needs to get
something from the parents in writing before this takes place. If you
have such a form at your library, could you forward a copy to me?
Thanks in advance!

Does anyone know where to purchase a good quality puppet stand (for adult

We
are looking for a better method of storage for our storytime puppets.

I've been reading all the discussion on professional dress for librarians,
and I have to agree with what Lisa has to say here. I have been a library
assistant in a public, soon to be district, library for almost three years.
I usually dress casually, but when I am leading storytime, you can find me
in jeans, a t-shirt, and sneakers. I feel that I am more approachable when I
am dressed down. The kids seem to like it, and, after all, they're the ones
I'm trying to reach at that time. I try to wear a t-shirt with a character
recognizable to them, so we can have that connection. I feel as much a
professional in jeans as I do in dress slacks or a skirt. I even, on
occasion, wear sleevless shirts which show off my kitty cat tattoo! The kids
really like that, and I've had nothing but positive comments from their
parents as well. So it's not necessarily the clothes (or tattoos!) that make
the professional. By the way, I'm 36, in case you're wondering, and my
director or board don't mind when my tattoo is showing, either. Just wanted
to add my two cents!

Subject: Filtering Update
Date: Tue, 3 Oct 2000 11:49:11 CDT
ALAWON: American Library Association Washington Office Newsline
Volume 9, Number 78
October 2, 2000
In this issue:
Filtering Update
Last Friday afternoon, meetings were held between Hill and
White House staff on policy issues related to the Labor,
HHS, Education apparitions bill (H.R. 4577). However,
discussions did not reach the level of final resolution on
all the many policy issues involved. It is unclear how much
mandatory filtering played into the discussion.
In the last week several Members of Congress and
congressional staff have said that they were not aware of
the extent of the filtering measures included in the
conference draft of H.R. 4577. Many have even indicated
that they were provided misinformation that characterized
these provisions as a "compromise." They have not been
aware that these provisions, unlike many other policy
issues, will take money from their states or districts.
ACTION NEEDED: Please check with your Senators and
Representatives to see if they are aware that there are
provisions included in the Labor, HHS, Education
appropriations bill that would:
1) Withhold LSTA funds for the purchase of computers or to
pay costs associated with Internet access from all
libraries that do not install on all computers
technology to block or filter access to material that is
obscene, child pornography and material that is harmful
to minors and ensure that the technology is in use when
a minor uses a computer;
2) Withhold E-rate discounts from those schools and
libraries that do not install technology to block or
filter Internet access to material that is obscene,
child pornography and material that is harmful to minors
and ensure its use at all times -- for adults to block
obscenity and child pornography -- for children to block
all above categories;
3) Withhold E-rate discounts from schools that do not
monitor online activities of minors by either
supervisory or technological means;
4) Withhold E-rate discounts from libraries that do not
hold at least one public hearing or meeting to address
the proposed Internet Use Policy that ensures the use of
blocking or filtering software; instead of offering a
community based Internet Use Policy as an alternative to
federally mandated filtering, Internet Use Policies
would also become a requirement for receiving E-rate
discounts;
5) Withhold ESEA Title III (focused on technology) funds
for the purchase of computers or to pay costs associated
with Internet access from all schools that do not
install on all computers and ensure the use of
technology to block or filter access to material that is
obscene, child pornography and material that is harmful
to minors.
The filtering provisions included in H.R. 4577 are extremely
complex and require different standards of mandatory
filtering depending on what type of federal assistance is
received and what type of institution receives that
assistance. For a detailed explanation of the new
requirements that filtering provisions in H.R. 4577 would
impose, see the Washington Office Web site at: http://www.ala.org/washoff.
Please, reiterate for your legislators that these provisions
are not what the library and education communities consider
to be a compromise, as there has been no attempt made to
address concerns that:
* Federal filtering mandates are unfunded mandates. They
will require libraries and schools to take on the onerous
burden of paying to install and maintain filters or be
stripped of key federal funding.
* Federal mandates trample on the decision making
responsibilities and capabilities of local librarians,
library trustees, parents, teachers, and school boards.
Mandates do not communities to articulate their own values
because they force community decisions to be turned over to
corporate entities.
* Federal filtering mandates are a one-size-fits-all, overly
broad solution to a complex and local problem. Around 95% of
public libraries already have in place a formal policy to
regulate use of the Internet.
* Federal mandates will worsen the digital divide in those
libraries and schools that most need E-rate discounts and
other funding. Low-income, poverty-stricken libraries and
schools will not have the resources to implement filtering
and comply with certification requirements needed to qualify
for the very funds intended to help bring them up to the
standards of the 21st century.
The last few weeks of this Congress are likely to be
unpredictable and frenzied. Please keep a careful watch on
ALAWON so you can continue to be a strong library advocate
in the federal arena.

A customer is looking for 2 books that he read during the 60's or 70's. We
have checked all the usual book and electronic references now we need some
good old fashioned brain power.
The first one he feels was about 3 giants and took place in old England.
The first giant stole a boy, the second giant who was bigger stole the boy
from him. The third giant who was even bigger stole the boy from that
giant. The boy finally escaped by getting red spots (he was not sure about
that). The book was in picture book format.
The second one involves a poor Southern family who was about to lose their
farm. The farm was built on a swamp and they planted seeds that saved the
farm. They also ate shoo-fly pie. The person who wanted the farm
looked
like Colonel Sanders. He also remembers this as being a picture rhyming
book.
Please respond to me.
Thank you
