For us Canadians, the second part of the rhyme is
"Not too big, not too small,
Just the size of Montreal."
Could this be used to segue into a geography lesson for U.S. children?

I am currently on a committee attempting to establish an electronic
newsletter, somewhat in the style of Barbara Feldman's Surfnet, to send out
to requesting library patrons or website visitors. Is it possible that
some
one (or more) of your libraries or departments has ventured into this
territory? We have seen some newsletters that have a web-based versions of
hardcopies that are usually mailed to cardholders but what we're interested
in is something that is e-mailed only. We'd like ours to have info
directly
related to books, interesting websites, or relevant department news rather
than programming which is already covered by a bi-monthly publication sent
to patrons.
If you are aware of such a newsletter, please e-mail me directly.
Thanks in advance

Hi all,
Please excuse any duplication.
The 13th Annual Young Adult Literature Conference will be held at Denver's
Auraria Campus on Saturday, April 28, 2001, with keynote speakers Rita
Williams-Garcia and Diana Tixier Herald, sponsored by Jefferson County
Public Library, Metropolitan State College of Denver and University of
Colorado at Denver.
We are now accepting proposals for program sessions at the conference.
This
is a great opportunity to try your hand as a presenter or even a moderator
of a discussion panel.
We are looking for workshops for both adults and young adults, by authors,
educators or experts in young adult literature. Traditionally this forum
has been an excellent event to network and learn about working with our teen
populations!
Any questions, or to request a proposal form, please call or e-mail:
Carol Burdick, Evergreen Library 303-674-0780 - Ext.3;
cburdick@jefferson.lib.co.us
Proposal forms should be mailed or faxed to:
Dr. Jane Chapman, Dept. of English, Metropolitan State College of Denver,
Campus Box 32, P.O. Box 173362, Denver, CO 80217-3362 by Nov. 30 2000.
Thanks everybody!

I have checked A to Zoo and Novelist. A customer remembers a book from

maybe called Harry or George that helped a boy and a girl in the kitchen
with homework. Ring any bells? Please respond to me off list.
Thank you.

Hi All!
At long last! I have the chance to pick the collective brain! :)
I have a patron looking for fiction or non books for an eleven-year-old girl
(above average reader) on leadership. She wants to highlight fairness in
dealing with others. Anything come to mind?
Thanks a bunch!

Subject: More Teen Read Week News!
Date: Sat, 7 Oct 2000 12:00:50 CDT
The theme for the third annual Teen Read Week is "Take Time to Read,"
which
is based on an online survey conducted during last year's Teen Read Week by
SmartGirl.com in partnership with YALSA. Of the 3,072 young men and women
surveyed (ages 11-18), nearly half (43%) said they enjoyed reading for fun,
but did not have time to do so. Tips, program ideas, research and resources
for this Teen Read Week are available on the Teen Read Week web site.
Furthermore, all the web site material is now available by ALA's
Fax-on-Demand. Dial 1-800-545-2433 and press 4. The
document numbers are
as follows:
920 - TRW 2000 Theme
921 - TRW Facts
922 - TRW Great ideas
923 - TRW Publicity Materials
924 - TRW Tips for Librarians, Teachers, Teens
925 - TRW Reading Research
926 - TRW Partners
927 - TRW Resources
928 - TRW Posters and More
929 - TRW Registration and Feedback Form
930 - TRW Press Releases
Teens can get involved during the week by logging onto
www.ala.org/teenhoopla and voting
for the "best book they have read this
year, so far." Librarians, teachers and booksellers are encouraged to ask
teen-agers to vote when they are participating in other Teen Read Week
activities. The results of the poll will be announced soon after Teen Read
Week has ended.

"The October 1 deadline set by a new Michigan law requiring libraries to
shield children from viewing sexually explicit material online set off a
flurry of eleventh-hour Internet policy reviews throughout the state. Some
libraries are installing filters, most notably the Herrick District Library
based in Holland, where voters overwhelmingly defeated a filter-mandate
ordinance on the February Republican primary ballot. "

Several of you replied that the Jeanne-Maire books were out of print.
Gayle
Richardson reported that three of the stories were republished in an omnibus
volume last year. The Adventures of Jeanne-Marie: Three Complete Stories
was published by Smithmark in 1999. I checked Books In Print and it's

A patron is looking for a chapter book she read as an advanced fourth
grade reader in the late 70's. A native American girl follows a
porcupine up a tree while trying to get some of his quills. The tree
grows and takes her up to the sky people. She forgets about her own
world and stays there until she sees the earth through the hole in the
clouds made when she pulled up a turnip. A hawk and a buzzard help
her get back to earth using a rope she makes. I found a three page
short story called, "The Girl Who Climbed to the Sky," an Arapaho tale
that must have been the basis for this full length book she read but I
can't nail down the book. Does anyone in the great beyond happen to
know this book?
Many thanks,

A customer remembers reading a book when she was younger that was the
story of a princess who could not cry until a cook or servant cut an onion
and that did the trick. She is sure it is not George MacDonald's The Light
Princess and thinks it had pictures throughout. We've tried the Folklore
Index, Bibliofind and several large databases.
Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.
