At the beginning of the new year 2001, all Prairienet systems, including
Listproc (which runs PUBYAC) will be taken offline for a day, possibly more.
No services will be available. Restoration of mail services and Web access
will be Prairienet's top priority. Other services, such as Listproc, may
lag
behind, even for as long as 7-10 days during which the systems may not
be fully available or fully functional.
The main message here is after January 2, all e-mail you send to PUBYAC will
BOUNCE. Furthermore, the more mail you send, the more confused you will
make the situation. Therefore, in the new year, do not post to PUBYAC
until I give the sign.
Prairienet's systems have been starting to stagger under the ever-increasing
traffic to the Web, mail, Listproc and other servers. The Listproc in
particular has been putting an increasing strain on the system, so because
Prairienet is kind enough to host us without charge, I think we can
cooperate
with them during their switchover.
I will send out this reminder periodically throughout December so that
hopefully
everyone will remember. Save up your journal articles so you can still get
a daily
fix! :)

I forgot to answer this question:
Do you allow patrons to place hold on periodicals - Yes, but it is a very
complicated process so we don't advertise it. When you look up a magazine in
our database, you get all the issues at all the branches, so it takes a
while to find the exact issue you are looking for, but it is doable.

My library has a program that we call Roving Readers. It was initiated
with an LSTA grant. We train volunteers to provide programs at daycares
in the community. the training includes how to deal with a group, finger
plays, reading stories, pacing of the program. the initial training
also
involves using one of the daycares which is located next door to us coming
to the training and an experienced Roving REader or staff person doing a
program. The volunteers then practice with a group and are observed by a
staff member. We then start scheduling them. library staff provide a
collection of books and
puppets for each volunteer and program based on the makeup of the audience
so it is age appropriate. We provide services to approximately 18
daycares and it has been very successful. We currently fund it as a
regular part of children's services. Laurie

What about a flannelboard of "A Hunting We Will Go"? There is a
fox in a
box in that rhyme. Also, you could use the book "What's in Fox's
Sack?" by
Pual Galdone or the Aesop fable "The Fox and the Grapes" but this may
be too
sophisticated for 2s. Jan Hogan-Southwest Library

GENREFLECTING, TEEN GENREFLECTING and JUNIOR GENREFLECTING all have good,
usable definitions. Plus, they break down genres into subgenres--very
helpful!

We offer our day cares a monthly visit providing them
with a tote of picture books (25 titles), board book
collection if needed (15 titles), and a brief
storytime. Storytimes are very brief with only one or
two stories along with fingerplays, songs;
approximately 10-20 minutes.
Titles in our day care sets were selected by the
children's librarian and purchased in permabound
bindings for durability. Sets are rotated among day
cares; they are never available to the general patron.
So--we don't catalog them into our system. Manual
circulation count is no problem as each tote has the
same amount of books. We serve 17 day cares (visit
once a month) and are able to make all our visits on
Tuesday mornings (some day cares only want collection
drop off service). Each tote has attached to the
inside of the lid a list of titles contain in that
tote. Books have a label with set # for ease in
checking against list to make sure all are accounted
for. Basically, the staff member leaves in the morning
with one tote. As she drops it off at the first site,
she picks up their tote to take to the next day care;
etc. Storage for collections is not a problem as the
secret is to keep them rotating. Totes do need to come
in periodically for cleaning; and replacements.
Providing the tote helps I think for each day care to
keep "library books" in this special place and lost has
not been great. We also provide "seasonal
collections". You will need storage space for these
collections.
For more information feel free to contact me (Earlene)
or Darlene at our library. --Scott Co. Public Library,

you might check for some reading lists on the
internet...various libraries do them. Also state
library associations usually have yearly lists of
recommended reads for YA (I'm from TX and they have
both the Lone Star list and the TAYSHAS list online at
txla.org) you will find that a lot of the same authors
pop up year after year.

Hello,
I have a patron requesting an illustration from a picture
book showing
an African-
American/black adult (at this point I don't know if patron prefers a male or
female adult or if both/either are OK) reading to either a single child or a
group of children (also African-
American/black. I tried SO MUCH by Trish Cooke( which has been
mentioned
so much recently!) but no soap there. The patron wants to contact the
illustrator with a view to
obtaining the art work, so more recent sources would be better than old ones
(e.g. that book of National Book Week posters...) Any help or clues
appreciated.

Well, that pretty much sums it up. A colleague remembers this book as the
impetus for his learning to read, and he's been trying to find it for years.
Does this ring a bell for anyone? Many thanks for your help!
