I am planning on doing a workshop for parents and their babies in either
Jan/Feb on fingerplays. One of my colleagues gave a similar workshop last
year and it was popular, so i thought I would give it a whirl at my branch.
What she did was give a brief description of the benefits of performing
fingerplays with your baby/toddler, gave handouts of different fingerplays
and had the parents perform them with their child. She limited the workshop
in age (babies at least 1 year old) and number (15 families -which
resulted
in around 40 people as in many families both parents attended.) I think
the
program ran 30-45 minutes.
It was successful, but I thought I would pick the collective brain for any
other additional suggestions of things I might do. thanks for any ideas you
might have!

Our YA nonfiction is interfiled with the adult fiction. There is a lot of
cross over between the Adult and YA books for research and general reading.
The YA fiction is in a separate section, "Teen Read Section" at the
end of
the adult fiction. This set up seems to work the best for us.

Our YA nonfiction is interfiled with adult nonfiction, but there is a YA
sticker on the spine. It helps staff as well as students more easily pick
out books on the student's level.
Presently our YA fiction is also interfiled with adult fiction, again with
a YA sticker on the spine. When we remodel next year we will have a
special YA section, but only for their fiction and career books.
Nonfiction will still be interfiled.

First of all, I apologize for cross-posting and for posting something that's
not about a book! But I'm hoping that someone out there can help ease our
frustrations.
We frequently have students ask for web sites where they can find maps of
(usually non-US) cities. Most often we can only find maps of the country
with the city marked. Lonely Planet has a few city maps available, and we've
found a few just with a web search. But I've looked on IPL, Google, Yahoo,
and some GIS sites for a collection of this type, and have had no luck.

At our library, the parent has to sign the application for the card. The
child does not have to be present. The child can pick up the application
to
take home, but I believe that the parent has to bring it in. The parent
does not have to have his or her own card, but he or she does have to show a
photo ID and proof of address.
Since a parent is usually agreeing to be held liable for a child's lost or
damaged materials, I think that's a pretty good reason to require the parent
to be part of the application process.

Subject: Re: Children's library card registrations
Date: Sun, 26 Nov 2000 19:11:34 CST
At our library we require anyone under 18 to have an adult sign for their
card. Someone has to take financial responsibility for the items they check
out. We also don't require the child to be with the adult when they sign for
a card (and since we're open most days 9-9 there should be some time when
they can come in).
I don't see how anyone can issue a card to a minor without someone taking
responsibility. As a parent (and soon to be grandparent) I would be VERY
irritated if I got a notice saying that my child had been issued a card and
then he ran up fines or lost charges. I know how angry I was when 2 of my
children snuck behind my back and joined music clubs, then I got stuck with
some subsequent bills when they weren't working. I don't think it's fair to
expect parents to pay a fine when they have no say in whether a card is
issued. Our library also leaves it to the adult's discretion whether to
allow video access (we go up to R rated movies). I have never allowed it
with my own kids because of the possible expense and have a note on my minor
children's cards stating that I am the custodial parent and no one has the
legal right to sign for anything on their cards (I have an ex-husband who
would happily run the tab up and then stick me with the bill). There are
serious financial consider!
ations to consider when you look at this issue. I don't see any way you can
legally hold the minor responsible for charges without involving the parent.
We do allow ANY adult to sign for minors, so if someone else signs they are
stuck- they signed, so they have to pay (we have many grandparents who have
signed because busy parents don't have time). Of course the address on the
card is the responsible adult's not the child's- this may help, too. We also
require an adult signature for internet access and an adult in attendance
for anyone 12 and under- we haven't really had any complaints even though
our terminals are all unfiltered (we have a strict use policy they sign- no
chat rooms, no porn) and the terminals in the children's department are
strictly 12 and under- 13 and up go to the adult department.
Don't know if this helps.

We are trying to come up with a policy regarding adult use of the Internet
stations, which will be filtered, in our Children's Area. Does anyone have a
policy that says adults can only use these stations if they are accompaied
by a child? If so, does it work or do you get complaints? What happens
during the school day when the stations are not in use but all of the adult
Interent stations are busy? If adults alone can use the children's stations,
are they allowed to call ahead and book the stations?
Any advice would be appreciated.

Dear Mr. Minkel: Yes, I display pictures of children who come to our
programs with permission of the parents or teachers who brought them.
Actually, I ask permission before I take the pictures in the first place.
Twice, I was forbidden because the mom and child were living secretly in a
shelter. Both these children (in two different cities at two different
times) were part of "Head Start" classes. I do not display
names, but do
encourage kids who visit the library to try to find themselves and their

I don't mean to be rude, but it will probably be taken this way anyway.
I honestly don't see that making one trip to the library to enable a child
to get a library card should be seen as an imposition by a parent. It can't
be any harder or take any more time than taking a kid to the shopping mall.
This reminds me of the days when I was teaching, and some parents felt it
was unreasonable of me to ask that they look at the child's folder each
night so that they could see what kind of work their child was doing in
class. Taking five to ten minutes each night to check on your child's
progress and let them see that their education is important was too much to
ask? How much time does a trip to the library really take, and what message
does it send to the child if you aren't willing to do it?
My two cents.

Dear PUBYAC World:
How does your library handle follow-up on incomplete items returned by
patrons? At this library, calls are made to alert borrowers about the
missing part. If we cannot speak to the person who borrowed the item, we
leave a general message - a tape is missing, for example - but we do not
cite titles. Parents or guardians are ultimately responsible for items
their minor children check out. Many are keen to know exactly what they are
trying to locate. How do you address confidentiality for the young patron
*and* the responsibility of the parents? Does your procedure vary with the
age of the child/youth?
Thank you!

You begin to take pride in how fast you can draw a glue gun.
You know the difference between Magic Treehouse, Magic Attic, and Magic
Schoolbus (at least half of the time).
You think the original really was "Do Your Ears Hang Low?"
You knew long before the avant-garde that objects of lasting beauty can be
made from toilet paper rolls.
You pass your recipe for slime down through generations.
You've considered buying baby food just for the jars.

Thanks to all who answered my stumper about the Teenie Weenie books from
the 50's. The author was William Donahey and he wrote several about the
Teenie Weenies including Teenie Weenies, and Teenie Weenies in the
Wildwood. They were originally published in the 1920's.
Thanks again to all that take time to respond to these messages!

I know I have this title somewhere in my head - but can't retrieve it!
I've looked in A-Zoo and our own library system and didn't recognize it
if I came across it.
It's a Christian based picture book about a little girl named Lucia who
never gets a star or dot as others in the story do -based on their
behavior/how they are judged. It's a moralistic type story speaking to
our uniqueness and individuality. Please send to me and I'll post
result. TIA!
