If these are considerations for the award to be given in January 2001, at
least two of these books are not eligible since they were published in 1999
- "Listen to the City" by Isadora and "The Tale I Told Sasha"
by
Willard/Christiana were both published in April of 99. I didn't check all
of them, these two just caught my attention!

you won't let the neighbor's children leave until they've done the
fingerplays,
sang the songs and listened to all of the stories for your next program.
(On
the plus side, these were the same kids who had picked all of my flowers,
as well as everyone else's in the neighborhood, would just walk right into

Please excuse cross-posting, some of you will be seeing a lot of this
message!
Dear collective brain,
We are planning for our first teen summer reading program ever, and I am
trying to gather some information for an upcoming meeting. If your library
has a teen SRP, how does it work? What kind of response do you get from
the
teens? What sorts of programs do you have? What incentives are
popular?
We are especially interested in how the program is structured.
We are a 3-library system that serves a population of about 135,000. Any
information you send will be greatly appreciated. I will be happy to
compile and post a hit, so you may email me directly at the address below if
you prefer.

Maggi, may I suggest the Libraries Unlimited book that Jane Kurtz and I

In fact, if you, or any other PubYacker would like a Libraries Unlimited

We hope to create a new position at our library called
"Program Specialist." This person will perform and
prepare programs for all of our branches (we have 8).
We have librarians in most branches, so this person
will be doing extra stuff. Puppet shows,
storytelling, etc., and also preparing "program kits"
that branch staff can use for storytimes and special
events. Does anyone have a similar position in your
library? We're looking for other possible duties for
this person, and we would also like to hear how it all
works. Is this an efficient way to expand
programming? If you have any suggestions, please send
them to me at the address below. Thank you.

Try looking at the Sizzling Summer Reading Programs for Young Adults. It's

As

Subject: storytimes and being animated
Date: Fri, 1 Dec 2000 10:49:11 CST
I am not a very animated person and how do I get to be more expressive
in
relation to my storytimes? I think I would be far more effective if I
could be.
I'm not a performer by nature, I guess.
I wonder if a person can change that and if a drama class could help?
Some of the books I really like to read are not"mainstream classic
books".
Do I read what I like even if it is not super-popular with parents/kids
or
do I read something I don't like eg. "The Polar Express" by
VanAllsburg
but
that is popular here in the community? People say read what you like
best-but
I don't like some highly touted books, etc. Maybe because my taste is
off-beat-
then should I just go with the"classics" anyway to have better
attendance?
These are really unanswered questions-no one has a problem with my
crafts
or songs or how I treat their kids because they say I am kind. So in
those things
I know I'm OK.
I did get to observe another storytime, and the person was very, very
animated
and laughed and joked with the parents besides. I am not animated, but
am instead
a very serious conscientious person. A joke a minute is not my style at
all-not even
outside storytime. I tend to be a "helper"-I love doing reference and
helping kids
on the computers. I also love being a "coordinator"-thinking of
fascinating programs and making them happen by contacting the
appropriate people. I love pulling together new stuff and finding
funding for my library. But I wonder if I can loosen
up in storytimes or not? Can a non-performer become one?

for an older book with illustrations reminiscent of Shel Silverstein about
4 kids who build a treehouse was "We Were Tired of Living in a

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain;
Date: Fri, 1 Dec 2000 11:03:43 CST
We have a patron who is looking for a long Christmas poem that she read to
her daughters probably 25 to 30 years ago. She thinks the title be or
contain the words "Jeremy Creek". It is about 3 or 4 pages long
and it is
about a boy who got lost.
We have looked in the Roth Poetryfinder, searched the Internet, looked in
the Index to Poetry for Children and Young People from 1976-1987, and looked
in Granger's print edition.
We do not know the title, author or first line of the poem, so our searches
are necessarily incomplete.
It is apparently not the poem that inspired the video "The Town that Santa
Forgot".
Any help that anyone can give would be greatly appreciated. Please reply
directly to me, and I will post the answer to the list.
Thanks,

I have a patron looking for a book about a little
girl who visits the stars riding on th back of a tiger
named Grin. Does anyone remember this. I found another
book with a tiger named Grin (Mary's tiger) but there
is no trip to the stars.
thank for you help.

I have a twelve year old girl who is looking for something to help her
through the grieving process. Two of her cousins died (violently,
she
says) in a mass suicide about three weeks ago. No one in her family has
talked to her about how she might be feeling, and she is having trouble
dealing with the issues.
I have given her some fiction, but I am still hunting for suitable
non-fiction. The books I have on death talk about disease and old age
but not about other more tragic circumstances.
Any suggestions would be gratefully accepted.

In re: Shannon's message--there is a new book by Robin Roberts called
CAREERS FOR WOMEN WHO LOVE SPORTS (Millbrook, 2000). It has several
chapters about journalism and broadcasting.
