Hi Cathy,
The wax I was telling you about is put out by a company called Stockmar and
it is called Wachsfolien or Wax sheet for decorating. It consists of 12
different coloured beeswax sheets 200 X 400 mm. I hope you can find
it.
It is a wonderful product.

We always get asked for books on those little cars that you make with
elastic bands. I can't remember what they are called, but you wind up the
elastic bands and the car goes. I think it is a common project in grade 6
or so, and we only have one ancient book that I can think of. And of
course, I can't even find it just now, because I can't remember what those
cars are called.

I am relatively new to my YA position and will be ordering reference
books for our Young Adult and Childrens collections.
We have the 1988 ed. of Reference Books for Young Readers.- a bit out of
date.
In adult reference I was used to referring to ARBA. Katz, and all of
the Publishers Catalogs.
Can you recommend your favorite sources or Web Sites for Juvenile
Reference ordering?
I think we also take the Wilson indexes like High School and Elementary
School Catalog.

Our Friends group is sponsoring their third annual essay
contest/scholarship for college-bound seniors. The themes so far have
been
"How the Library is Important to me" and "How the Library will
still be
important in the 21st Century."
Have any of you sponsored similar contests and can you recommend a theme
you had success with?
Participation has been lower than hoped for. I am new to our Young Adult
Department this year and hope to increase participation through better
promotion and advertising.
Last year the prize was $500 and this year it was two $500 prizes.
Next year, the Friends only want to give out two prizes if there is a
sufficient increase participation.
They are considering asking for letters of recommendation seniors may
already have on hand through applying for college, as well as evidence
of community service. Students will still remain anonymous to those of
us judging the essays.
I would appreciate any advice or suggestions from those of you who have
successfully organized such contests in the past.
Flyers, web sites, rules etc. would be of help to me. I'll summarize...
Thanks very much,

Again, let me say that, while I don't set the borrowing policies for my
library,
I do understand the need to insist on parental responsibility in our
community.
We do not require cards for teenagers (or anyone) to use the internet or
word
processors, or anything else in-house. Parents can get cards for their
infants;
we don't have an age restriction. We children's librarians go out into the
schools twice a year to encourage kids to ask their parents to get them
cards.
I wish we had the staff to make meaningful outreach to teens. The ideas
about
sending postcards home, and limiting the number of items a child/teen can
borrow
at first, are good ones. I have passed them on the the appropriate person
here.

If the child is under 15, a parent or legal guardian must sign the
application. As someone else pointed out, since the parent is responsible
for lost/damaged items and overdue fines, it's good to have them be a part
of the registration process.
I admit I don't know why 15 is our cutoff age. Overall, our policy seems to
work very well.

We have two filtered terminals in the Children's Area. One is reserved
for children eighth grade and under at all times (with the exception that
we will allow a parent with young children to use it so that she [or he]
can supervise them). Children have priority on the other, which means
that an adult may use it for only 45 minutes (if a child is using it, s/he
may continue using it after 45 minutes if no one is waiting). We have an
additional eight terminals in the adult area, one of which has a 20-minute
use period while the others are 45 minutes. I have not had any adult be
upset with me over this policy. There are some who have questioned it,
but we explain that there are 8 terminals in the adult area and only 1
that's reserved exclusively for children; that even during the school day,
there are home-schoolers or parents with preschoolers who use it; and that
children often are not comfortable asking for it if an adult is on. This
has generally satisfied them.

How does your library handle follow-up on incomplete items returned by
patrons?
At our library we have a form letter we have been using for several years.
It
is very simple, something like: On 12/01/00 you returned a (here you
circle
video, cassette or cd) that was missing the video/cassette or cd. Please
return _title of missing item____ as soon as possible. The letter is
addressed to the last patron to have checked the item out. We usually get
the missing item back within a few days (longer if the patron lives out of
town. We do have a follow-up form letter that is sent out if item not back
within a month, though it is rarely necessary to send this one out.

Subject: Dividing large YA collections
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII
Date: Tue, 28 Nov 2000 10:31:53 CST
Do those of you with larger YA collections separate short stories,
science fiction and or other genres to better market them to teen readers?
What
about career books? We already have a "jobs" collection for
adults with
resume and interviewing books. But our teens really have to go to the
adult 331's for the vocational titles.
I was thinking of dividing our collection, which is fairly large. I don't
know how many volumes I have, but the collection (including reference and
biographies, fiction and nonfiction, plus new books) takes approx. 150
standard shelves or 50 or so sections of standard shelving units. I am
also starting a graphic novels collection, which
I intend to separate. Is anyone aware of literature that discusses this,
or can you offer personal recommendations based on experience? As
someone who worked in reference for many years I know I often found
it confusing trying to deal with all of the different collections in
our children's department: Easy, easy readers, easy nonfiction, juvenile
nonfiction, popular series, biography, juvenile fiction, easy
biography,
readalongs, books on tape, parenting collection, holiday, videos,
professional collection
foreign language...etc. Plus all of the colored dots and colored tape.
Assuming I am always around to help teens, I
suppose dividing the collection would be OK. I hate to cause confusion
for the rest of the staff, and kids browsing on their own, however. I'm
not sure if this question is any different than the same argument for
dividing or not dividing adult collections, except that the YA audience is
a lot smaller and more unique than our patrons in general.
I'm good at
Publisher and other graphics programs and could make
a nice map of YA, making it clear of what is where. I've started making
bibliographies as I see the need (short stories, sci-fi, mysteries, etc.)
but wondered what the rest of you do.

Our patron remembers a picture book from her childhood (1970s or earlier)
about 4 kids (2 girls, two boys) who built a tree house, then a sand
castle, then maybe a house in a swamp. She thinks the illustrations were
black and white line drawings, similar in style to those of Shel
Silverstein. Very little text. She says definitely not Boxcar Children or
Bobbsey Twins. She doesn't think that it was part of a series.

Hi, I have a patorn looking for a book called Nimble
Legs. It is an old book and is believed to have been
written by a monk whose name might be Capuano or
Cappadona. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks
