You read stories out loud to your dog for practice, and he's so used to it
he sits attentively and listens.

Greetings,
I have two queries for our group.
(1) We are in the process of planning our Summer Reading Club 2001.
We
have been contemplating offering a Family Reading Club. Does anyone in our
group offer such a reading club, and if so, so you mind sharing the
particulars of it such as the structure and incentives.
(2) Another change that we are considering is offering our patrons a choice
of how to keep track of their reading. The choices would be (a.)
keeping
track of time Read or (b.) keeping track of the number of books Read.
If any libraries offer these choices please give us some input as to how
this has worked.
You may email me privately if you desire.
Thank you for your time and input in advance.

I remember that there were some posters doing some
dinosaur themed activities. Last week I went to the
Carnegie Museum. I learned some interesting facts.
There is now a debate about Tyranasausus Rex. It seems
he has camel like legs so it is now believed he was
not a hunted, but a scavenger. I guess all those old
movies are all wrong.
Now here is another debate. It seems when Marsh,
one of the foremost paleontologists found what was
then called a Brontasaurus it did not have a head
.Dinosaurs are never found with the head attached.
Anyways there was no head to be found. Since Marsh did
not want a headless dinosaur he took the head from a
different kind of dinosaur.THIS WAS IN THE LATE
1890'-EARLY 1900S.A paleontologist for the Carnegie,
Hollings found a Brontasaurus with the head next to it
in the 1930s. Since Marsh's dinosaur was in Yale and
he was the big authority on dinosaur so the Carnegie
had to make a plaster of the wrong head for the
dinosaur. It was not until the 1970's that the correct
head was put on the dinosaur.
If you live in Pittsburgh the tours at the
Carnegie Museum are very informative

Here's a few more:
You can't resist reading aloud in the mall bookstore and draw a crowd when
you do.
You save the cardboard rings from tape rolls--there has to be something they
can be used for....(my little crafters glued wadded up tissue paper to them
to make bracelets!)
Your refrigerator is covered with craft projects...even if you don't have
kids.
You always have glue, paint or marker on your hands.
You keep an apron at work for messy projects.

I'd love to hear more from other people!

Two Easies with "multi-cultural" characters are:
Hi by Ann Herbert Scott
More More More said the baby by Vera Williams (which pre-school - grade 1
really love)
The Scott title I introduce by saying that books sometimes show us that we
are not the only ones who have certain feelings.
Also, a book by Kathi Appelt, Oh my baby, little one
is darling: I say this is how the person who drops youu off at pre-school
feels about you.
And, of course, Pete's a Pizza by William Steig is very well appreciated.
I also wanted to say that I tell parents to teach discipline in other
areas besides the library: cleaning up rooms, being on time or polite or
whatever. But to punish them by not allowing book borrowing because of
overdues or even lost books only defeats our purpose of encouraging them
to love reading & libraries. I tell them that the cost of overdues or
even a few lost books is still less than if they were to buy books. (I
got this from Parents who love reading kids who don't by Leonhardt.) Then
they usually relent & let the kids borrow. I try to get them to
borrow
as many as the kids want & tell them to call & renew if some are
unfinished.

I agree with Sue about books on wolverines - the animal.
Here in in Michigan we find more on the University of Michigan Wolverines -
the football players.
I beg the indulgence of the list, I could not find the original e-mail
question. I have enjoyed seeing that others have needs similar to our
patrons.

Hello collective brain
We are in the process of preparing to teach a computer class on
web-based e-mail. We know that parents will ask questions
concerning e-mail for their minor children. Both Yahoo and Hotmail
now require parental permission for anyone under 13 to receive an
account. The permission requires identification of the parent by
declaring a credit card number. As parents, my director and I are
not comfortable with the idea of giving these sites our credit card
numbers, and we believe other parents will feel the same. Have
any of you encountered this dilema and how have you handled it?
Do these kids falsify their age, do the parents give the card
number, or do the kids do without?
Thanks for your help.

I can't believe nobody in my library has done this before, but we need
some beginning help on inviting an author to speak. Are there
clearinghouses to go through? Specific publishers or authors you would
recommend? We have a limited budget -- what should I expect??
Any suggestions can be sent to me at maggi@intranet.org

I have a patron who has heard about two Christmas stories that we can't find
titles or authors of.
The first is about people who were working in a vineyard when the Star
appeared to tell of Christ's birth. An angel came to them and told them to
stay and finish their work. Later on, they were rewarded for their faith
because their work was important in the greater scheme of things.
The second is similar to the poem "The Friendly Beasts". The
star tells the
story of how it helped on Christmas Eve. The stable told its story of how
it felt to hold the baby. A bird told its story and a cow or donkey told
its story.
If these strike a bell with anybody, please respond to me. Thanks!
