Have a sign-in form for each group to fill out - doesn't have to be long
- just name of school/center, name of person in charge with the kids
here in the library, # of kids. This way you can document use for
potential additional staff requests (on all levels - professional,
clerical, and pages) and should you want to contact people to invite
them in or offer some service, you have a list.
We offer storytimes regularly for our day care ctrs - usually at the
centers. A few are close enough to walk over on a nice day, and some
classes/groups do, but they know that they will not have a program as
drop-ins.
If your faciltiy has grown - lucky you! The public may well expect your
service to grow. Seize the opportunity. There are lots of ways to
offer service. Of course, you will need MORE staff. Just the
building
with the books on the shelves isn't quite enough. The materials have to
be put to use. Be sure to record 'table count.'

We have been doing a reindeer program here at the Brunswick Library for
several years. We call it "Romp with Rudolph".
-we have the children play "Pin the red nose on Rudolph"
-we use a Hokey-Pokey tape that does not have words, and do the reindeer
hokey- Put your antlers in, put your antlers out....etc -same with
hooves and tails
-we have made headbands with traced hands for antlers
-this year we are tracing their foot, using traced hands for antlers,
putting on eyes, a red hat and red bowtie
-we have a set of twenty red hooves laminated, and a set of green hooves
laminted, and make two paths the children can follow around the room-
they love this
-there are several books, like Olive- this year we are reading SHHH!, by
Sykes
-we hand out ellison reindeer bookmarks
-we hand out envelopes with grass seed in them for reindeer food for
them to put on their lawns
Hope this helps! Have a great time- children love this program.

As a buyer of Chinese children's books for the Toronto Public Library i
would suggest you contact the following suppliers, both located here in
Toronto. There are a lot of books on tape perhaps not the ones you want,
but lots of others. Try:
Grand East Enterprize Ltd. 96 Buddleswood Court
Scarborough Ontario Mis 3M9 (416) 299-6779, Fax: (416) 754-1077
Sino United Bookstores.3280 Midland Ave., Unit 28, Scarborough Ontario.

Scarborough is a former borough of Toronto and now part of the new
amalgamated city. Both suppliers are reliable with sources from Hong Kong,
Taiwan and the mainland.
Good Luck!

Anne, I did reindeer games last week. We took turns being Rudolph and
leading the other reindeer around the room to music. When the music stopped,
we had another Rudolph take over. WE also did this rhyme that was in the
Dec/Jan. 97-98 issue of Mailbox:
8 little reindeer pulling Santa's sled.
One fell down and bumped his head
The elves called Santa and Santa said
"Can 7 little reindeer pull my sled"
7 little reindeer...
When you get to the end of the verse "One little reindeer..."
you say "The elves called Santa and Santa said.. "Call Rudolph!"
We also made a reindeer face with antlers, mouth, nose and eyes seperate to
go on a flannelboard. As we played music, the kids took one piece and put it
in the proper place on Rudolphs'face.
Hope this helps.

At a national retreat for my church, the teens had a similar dislike for
the word "teen." They wanted us to call them "young
elders." I think
it's an appropriate amount of overconfidence for the age, not to mention
the oxymoron (like "sophomore").

We sing "Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer," but you can't say the word
"reindeer" - instead you have to put your hands up on your head and
make
antlers. The kids catch on much faster than the adults! It's fun and
will
take up some time. My kids want to do it over and over again getting
faster
and faster!

Here's a reindeer fingerplay that I like to use:
Santa Claus and His Reindeer
Here is old Santa, [left thumb]
Here is his sleigh. [right thumb]
These are his reindeer,which he drives away. [8 fingers]
Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, [point to each one]
Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen
Away they all go! [fly away]
By the way, My sister lives in Berea and I go there every year for Christmas
Country Dance School. Maybe you know her.. she's Mary Colmer and she runs
Weaver's Bottom and Morninglory B&B. Anyway I hope the rhyme helps, Kathy

you know you're in children's when you find yourself singing The Bear Went
Over the Mountain (complete with motions) to the frantic parent on the
phone who needed to learn it for her child by the next day.
you know you're in children's when, after storytime, a young person follows
you saying "story lady, hey story lady", you smile sweetly as you bend
down, thinking she wants to say how much she enjoyed the stories tonight,
and instead she says "story lady, can you fasten my pants?"
(Certainly
burst my bubble, I had visions of having changed her life, she would
remember me always HA!)

Date: Thu, 7 Dec 2000 14:10:48 CST
Hi Bonnie,
I saw a lot of replies on PUBYAC but I wanted to say something to you also.
I am also not an animated person in public, nor am I theatrically inclined.
Others in my department are and at first I found that so intimidating! I
talked to my supervisor about it and she encouraged me to find my own
comfort level. I've only been doing this a few months but I have learned a
few things about storytime.
I do try to do a variety of little rhymes, fingerplays, movements or songs
each session. I practice them and write them on an index card which I lay on
my lap or just off to the side. This makes me feel more comfortable. Since I
am also a licensed teacher, I make my own outline lesson plan for each
session. It makes me feel more in control if I can look over and see what's
next. I find the children are very accepting of my quieter style, and they
like the fact that I take the time to talk with the group, ask their
opinions, etc each time. They have really warmed up to me since I started
doing that. I took over these groups from a lady who is very musically and
theatrically gifted, which put a great deal of pressure on me. I was sure no
one was going to like my storytimes after having the other lady. But I found
that not to be true. I am definitely NOT a performer, but I have found that
my love of reading comes through in the way I do my storytimes.
Forget the classics if you find them boring. Personally, I love the Polar
Express but rarely read it because it seems to go right over most kids'
heads. I prefer shorter books which can bring more variety. Or if you read a
longer book, break it up and talk to the kids about what's going on every so
often. I find if I read what I love, the kids are very receptive. The other
day I had a Christian school group and so I took two lovely Christmas
stories which we read and talked about. I told them right off that these
books were favorites of mine and why. Then after, I asked them what they
liked best. It really made for a lovely time of sharing.
I empathize because I am also more reference oriented and experienced so
this transition has been very difficult for me. I did find one other
librarian on staff in whom I could confide my weaknesses and she has been
very generous in sharing ideas with me. I hope it helps to know you are not
alone! In time you'll find your own style and comfort zone. I wish you luck!

Need some help from the collective wisdom. We want to do a sandpainting

been able to find actually give directions for doing this for kids. We
are planning on using cardboard as a backing but how do we mix color in
the sand, what type of colors to use (tempera?) and how do we affix the
sand to the cardboard. I do not want to mix paint, sand and water
together which makes a gloppy mess and which is all I've found so far
for doing with kids. Thanks in advance. E-mail directly to me.

Our library is planning to begin circulating periodicals sometime next year.
As a member of the Serials Review Committee, I was wondering if any of you
wonderful helpful people are currently doing this and have any advice to
give. We are particularly curious about:
Whether or not you have a limit on the number of periodicals each person is
allowed to check out
The time period that you allow periodicals to be checked out for
Which periodicals circulate--issues (i.e. current issues, back issues),
titles
Do you allow patrons to renew periodicals, if so for how long
Do you allow patrons to place hold on periodicals
What do you charge for lost items and overdue items
Do you circulate newspapers
Of course any advice you have on the subject is more than welcome.
We're hoping to reach our decision on policies by February 2001.
Please respond to me directly: JDepakak@ci.carrollton.tx.us
THANKS in advance for your help. I'm looking forward to hearing what you
have to say!

1,2,3,4,5 little reindeer
Sand beside the gate: "Hurry, Santa," said the five,
"So we will not be late!"

Santa said, "Please wait!"
"Wait for three more reindeer, and that will make eight."

You put your antlers in.
You put your antlers out.
You put your antlers in and you shake them all about.
You do the Reindeer Poky and you turn your self around.

Five Perky Penguins
Five perky penguins stood on the shore.
One went for a swim,Then there were four.
Four perky penguins looked out to see
One went swimming and then there three
Three perky penguins said, "What can we do"
One jumped into the water, then there were two.
Two perky penguins sat in the sun
One swam off, and then there was one.
One perky penguin said, "This is no fun!"
He dived in the water, and there were none.
Five little penguins, as happy as could be,
Standing on a rock, looking out at the sea.
Crash went the waves, oh what a din!
Said the first little penguin shall we all jump in?
Said the second little penguin, "the water's like
ice."
Said the third little penguin, that's not so nice."
Said the fourth little penguin, "let's bask in the
sun"
Said the fifth little penguin, "Hey, that's no fun!"
So the five little penguins took a leap and dive,
And splashed into the water, 1 2 3 4 5
Three seconds later, out they popped
And stood once again atop the big rock.
Tune: Twinkle little star
Penguins, penguins having fun

I have been recataloging some of the books in our

section. I am trying to be very specific with the
Dewey numbers, not mixing voles with mice, etc.
However, it appears that the Dewey numbers in this
subject area have changed within the past two years
and I cannot find a list stating what these new
numbers are. Any list I find is 1998 or prior, or
too abbreviated such as 599.3 where I am looking for 4
digits to the right of the decimal point (599.3232).
Does anyone know of a website where I can search by
subject and get complete Dewey numbers?

Today I received a catalog from Delta Education (800 442 5444) ON page 13
there is a photo for ANIMAL TRACKS to make authentic casts of real pig,
goat, checken, etc tracks.
Kit includes molds and casting plaster. Perhaps they sell the casting
plaster separately.

Hi Cindy,
I would appreciate hearing what suggestions you get. I
started in my position last week, and was floored as I
watched a daycare group come in and do exacly what you
described (and these were the ADULTS in the group
reshelving the books!); one of my pages spent almost
two hours fixing up that area.
What I have decided to try, because I am anticipating
that they might show up tomorrow is: I brought in a
milk crate and have set it up on a bookcase behind my
desk; as soon as I see them come in, I will go over
with the crate to the woman who seems to be in charge
and ask her to have any books pulled off the shelves
placed in the crate, and I will have my people put
them away. I plan on telling her where the crate is in
case I am not available when they come in. I will ask
her to just place the crate on my desk when they are
finished. If I am questioned about it, i will tell her
the truth about the problems created.
Hopefully, if this doesn't work, you will get a few
good suggestions...so please share!!!
Thanks greatly,
Nadine

PUBYAC-ers:
With teen poetry month coming in April, I was wondering if anyone has hosted
Poetry Slams for teens at their libraries? If so, what guidelines were
used, how was the turn out, etc.?
I've read a bit about poetry slams, but was wondering what your thoughts and
personal experiences were...
Thanks,

Help! A very nice lady just donated a wonderful 4-foot stuffed Grinch,
complete with Santa hat, to my Children's Room. So, we're going to have a
Grinch party in ten days. Of course, I didn't copy any of the ideas that
were shared on pubyac a few weeks ago, because I wasn't going to have a
Grinch program then.
I would be very grateful to anyone who kept all, or even some, of the ideas
to email them to me at paulal@rpls.lib.il.us
or fax them to 217/935-4425.

I don't know how large a community you have, but here are some
suggestions:
Contact all the daycares and HeadStarts in the area with a nice
flyer/brochure outlining your services, hours, etc, and inviting them to
bring their group to visit. Say something like, "we will be happy to
present an intro-to-the-library program that is age-appropriate if you
schedule your visit in advance". Many groups have no idea that you
would even do such a thing.
I'm sure you thought of this - have a card that is labeled very clearly
- Return all books to this cart. Try to train them?
AS a last resort, you could have a "canned" program that is always
ready
that you can pull out and do at a moment's notice if you happen to be
there and happen to have the staff available.

Here are a couple more responses on teen reviews, specifially how to
motivate them.
---------------------------------------------
...Maybe if you stress that you DON'T want a book report, more teens will be
interested. Isn't what you really want more like a movie trailer/teaser?
Something to SELL this book to another teen? How about "If this book were a
movie, the trailer would say:...?"
If teens are encouraged to think short and clever, perhaps more of them will
take up the challenge. I may try this myself! Getting teens to take the time
to participate, even when it's fun, is one of the toughest challenges we
face...
--Janet Dickey
----------------------------------------------
...Would it be possible to recruit a couple of teen readers from your
library to get the ball rolling on this review idea? If you recruit a
couple of your readers and ask them to recruit a couple of people and then
they would recruit etc. etc. Another thought might be to hook up with a
couple of English teachers at the middle school and/or high school and ask
if they would be willing to encourage their students to participate in this
review process. Maybe you could do a couple of booktalks in their classes
and ask the students to fill out the cards after they have read books from
the library. And, finally, have a book discussion program and then ask the
participants to complete the forms when they get the opportunity...

I've been waiting for an authoritative voice to chime out: "That's
the
begging of Turkey In the Straw", or else "That tune was taken from Did
You
Ever, Ever, Ever". Finally I went to my copy of The American Songbag
by
Carl Sandburg, and found that a) the tune doesn't exactly match the pickup
lines to Turkey In the Straw (p. 94)even though my mind remembers it that
way, and b) there is no music attached to the words for Did You Ever, Ever,
Ever (p. 329).
