A wipe down once in a while is really all you can do. I would also suggest
maybe on the front of the bag a polite plea to the parents to maybe clean
them before letting thier child use them - maybe they will do the same
before they bring them in? Would those new disposable antibacterial wipes
help? I know a paper towel and some mild alcohol swipe over our
board
books once in a while doesn't hurt either. We even go to the length of
cleaning and wiping book covers that are particularly dingy just to help
them stay attractive.
Just a few thoughts......

Hi Andrea:
We just started a Lapsit Program here at Sump Memorial Library in
Papillion, NE. I tried a 2 week session in October and enrolled 9
participants. I am doing a 2 week session in December, with similar
enrollment. The program will become a permanent part of schedule in
Jan.
My program is approximately 20-30 minutes in length. I try to read 3-6
simple books (large board books, life the flap, etc.), do a simple
flannel board activity, a few finger plays, and offer a simple craft.
For those too young to participant in a craft, I provide a selection of
our new board books for a "book sharing" time.
Hope this helps,
Sandy Belfi

Yes, I've ordered from them and have been very happy with what I got. They
are kind of pricey, but the merchandise is so appropriate for librarians,

Dear Pubyacers,
Here is a treat you or the kids can make to go with a
reindeer storytime.
You can make Rudolf sandwiches. Cut a piece of bread
in half. Have the triangle with tip down. Cover bread
with peanut butter. Then use 2 raisins for the eyes.
Put a cherry at the bottom for Rudolph's red nose. Use
pretzel sticks at the top for the antlers of the
reindeer. Enjoy

I'm doing a story time for toddlers on "Bathtime." I have a
really cute
poem about taking a bath that I'd like to type out and put inside a picture
of a bathtub. I'm just looking for the outline of a bathtub..black and
white, like a coloring book page, that I could use.
I looked through a bunch of my felt board books and coloring books and have
come up empty handed. Does anyone have a picture that they would be so
kind
as to fax or snail mail to me? Please respond and I will send you my contact
info. Or, if you know of a web site that would have something like this,
that would be great too.
Thanks so much!

Hello. Our library always offers programs to school-aged children based
on a certain theme during March Break. This year our theme is "rock
and
roll". We are looking for program ideas, decorating ideas, absolutely
anything that would apply.
If you could email me your ideas directly, I would appreciate it. And
this is a different request than that of the rock and roll storytime
request which was posted earlier.
Thanks in advance.

This appeared in School Library Journal a while back, and is pretty apropo
to the continuing additions to the list....
YOU MIGHT BE A CHILDREN'S LIBRARIAN IF...
...you have been told that "anybody can do your job".
...you can tell when the full moon falls on storytime days.
...you are supposed to remember the title of a book a person read 20 years
ago about a little boy who...
...you feel parents should supervise their children in the children's room
even if YOU are there.
...you can tell it has been cold and snowy one day too long for a mom.
...you want to punch the next person who says, "It must be nice to sit and
read kids' stories all day".
...you've learned to smile and bite your tongue when you hear "Now in my
library back home..."
...you find humor in other people's audacity.
...you can tell when a new baby brother or sister has just appeared in a
three-year-old storytimer's life.
...you are expected to know immediately, with no further information, the
answer to: "I need a book for my child..." or "I gotta do a
report..."
...you have trouble decifering what people want when they don't know
themselves.
...it irks you when people who have been in the library for three hours wait
until 30 seconds before closing time to get a new library card.
...you think all board members should have to work in the children's room
for at least three years before serving.
...you know that spring is here because of the wilted dandelions that appear
on your desk.
...you are supposed to know what every teacher has in mind as a
"classic".
...you refuse to write a child's report for him or her.
...you are to make an exception to the rule because it's "my child".
...after a frustrating day when you are seriously considering handing in
your resignation, a little one comes into your office and says, "I love you
Miss Jeanne" and the sun comes out for you again.
These were submitted by Jeanne Cooly, Youth Services Librarian at the
Cranberry Public Library. Thanks, Jeanne! You don't know how timeless these
were!
By the way, if anyone has help a list of the ones that have been on PUBYAC
recently, I'd love to have a complete list! You may send to:

Kathleen,
I have bought several items from this company. The lady who makes most of
the
items goes to conferences, like our New England Library Conference (NELA).
I
always buy something new from her every year. The quality of the items is
very good. The denim shirts, sweatshirts, and T-shirts are well-made.
The
embroidery is very durable. I also bought the handbags (the non-laminated
ones) and I get a lot of compliments. She also hand-paints the pins.
I got a catalog at the last conference, so if you don't like the pictures on
the website, ask for a catalog. I passed the catalog around our library
and
several of us will be buying from it.
Happy Holidays!

Hi Nadine. I agree w/ you on both counts: I would
never let my boys take them out; they are extremely
popular in our library.
Our main branch just ordered @100 new puppets. Each
is barcoded w/ a laminated barcode and placed in a
plastic bag identifying the puppet. Most of the
puppets are solo. If there are any with books or
audio tapes, the contents are listed on the bag, but
there is only one barcode. A minimum bib record is
created with the name of the item, cost and bar code
number.
A new procedure for cleanliness is that every 6
months, the puppets will be taken to a commercial
laundromat for a thorough cleaning.
Hope that helps.

Hi!
I need information about providing PC's in the library with word
processing capabilities. If you are using such a set-up, what problems
have you encountered? Security has been the biggest issue. I don't have them
connected to the LAN for that reason. We also have patrons that bring in
floppies formated with the MAC format and our computers are PCs.
What benefits can you see for providing this service? We see the benefit as
provide a needed service to our patrons. A lot of people don't have a PC or
access to one. The schools are assigning projects that students have to do
on computers.
Are there costs beyond the equipment and software, especially relating to
staff time? We have two workstations set up with Word access only. We
don't
have to spend too much time working on these PCs. Staff time is more
significant on the part of assisting patrons with "how-to" questions.
Have you had to hire extra staff to deal withtraining? No
If you have such a set-up do you have a policy concerning use and will you
share it with me? We have a 30-minute time limit. If there isn't a patron
needing on that PC then we allow the patron more than 30 minutes. We also
post that we provide no assistance, but when asked we help where we can.
Please e-mail me off-list at
moffet@dcls.org.
Thanks in advance for your help.

We would like to hear from other public libraries who provide game

Sega? Nintendo? Gameboy? PC?)Do you prohibit use of games not owned

Any other aspects we might not have considered before we take the

We've done four poetry evenings for high school students and one for
elementary school. They have been very well attended (65, 70+, 30 and 35).
In fact, our high school advisory board is an outgrowth of the poetry
series. We plan to repeat them again in the spring.
We asked an english teacher to host the high school evenings. He brings
his
guitar and sings poetry set to music; the elementary school (grades 3-5)
evening is hosted by a local poet who teaches poetry at the school. We
provide refreshments, Barnes and Noble gift certificates, and hold the
reading when the library is closed so the kids can relax. Advertised with
signs at the high school (with rip off tabs ), announcements on their p.a.
system, the teachers talking it up in classes, newspaper articles, and
cable tv announcements. The amazing thing about the poetry nights is that
they attract so many different "groups" of teens who wouldn't consider
talking to each other at school but are really supportive of each other
here.
Because the poetry nights were so much fun, we held a scary stories night
behind the library in October, with a campfire, mulled cider, smores, and
Edgar Allan Poe. The next event we are planning is an open mike night for
acoustic music and stand up comedy which will be hosted by another high
school teacher the kids enjoy. We share a high school so it's been really
nice to get the kids from Salem to come to our library.

MIME-Version: 1.0

Date: Wed, 13 Dec 2000 18:03:24 CST
Hello Everyone,
This is a personal stumper. Years ago as a child
I saw Once Upon A Classic, hosted by Bill Bixby. I
read most of the books that were acted out on the show
including JOHN HALIFAX GENTLEMAN, ROBIN HOOD, LORNA
DOONE, HEIDI, AND TALES OF KING ARTHUR.There was one
book I especially liked, but I was never able to find
the book. It was called DOMINIC.
DOMINIC was about a boy about 15 (could be
younger) who is kidnapped by a tavern owner who is
also a smuggler. The smuggler wants Dominic to teach
"his daughter" how to read. It turns out the daughter
is the real daughter of a lord and the smuggler wants
to return the girl for money.
The headmaster of Dominic's school gets involved
after Dominic escapes with the girl's help. The
headmaster and the boy get involved in finding out who
is the head of the smuggling ring.
There is also a villianous who is raising the girl
Lucy who is believed to be the lord's daughter. In
reality the villainous is the smugglers wife who left
him without a trace and claimed her daughter as the
real heiress.
In the end the truth comes out. Lucy and the other
girl are half sister. As Sarah sees her husband for
the first time in 16 years she tells him that Lucy
was the lord's son daughter too and not his child. The
tavern smuggler is killed by the head of the smuggling
operation. It is revealed the foolish lord was in
actuality the head of the smuggling organization. The
lord dies and both girls decide to share the
inheritance.Dominic and the girl promise to visit each
other and stay friends.
I've looked in several libraries for the book. I
looked under the title Dominic and all I ever find are
picture books that have nothing in common with this
book.
Excuse me for the long legnth of the
message.Thanks in advance for your help .

Oh great collective brain...
A preschool teacher asked me to help her compile a list of picture books =

reinforce each number, Like "5 Dog Night" for 5 or "Mouse
Paint" for 3 =
"Seven Blind Mice" for 7. We found some, but I'd like more

particularly hard time finding any books relating to 4.

Thought I'd forward this one to the collective brain:
--------------------------------
A patron is looking for a book to try and order for a firend for Christmas.
Here's what I have:
It is about a church mouse whose name is Cheerful, but the title doesn't
necessarily have Cheerful - Church - Mouse in it. I checked the
chuch mice
books by Graham Oaklay ( the ones we had in), and she doesn't think this is
it, because the mice don't have the name Cheerful. The friend is 45 and
read it during her childhood.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jody

If this rings a bell, you can reply to me and I'll let Jody know--Thanks!

Thanks to all who have offered up de Paola's "The Knight and the
Dragon". I
bounced it off my colleague, who thought it was cute but not the right book.
He said the book he remembers was available in the early 70s (maybe late
60s).
He has been looking at books about dragons for ages now, hoping to find this
book but not holding out much hope. Many thanks for any ideas you may
have!

Collective Brain,
I have a patron looking for a book that she read in the mid seventies
about two girls named Bonnie and Emily. One was a poor orphan and the
other
was her wealthy friend or maybe cousin. The poor orphan went to live with
the wealthy girl. She thinks there were at least two novels about these
girls.
If this rings any bells please let me know.
Thanks,

A teen around the age of 16 is looking for a picture book her mother read to
her as a child. It is about a tree that had a funny name like
"brum brum
tree" or "zum zum tree" or something of that sort, and it grew
lots of
different fruits. She doesn't remember any human characters being in the
story, but possibly animals. She thinks there was a tree on the cover of
the book and pretty sure the word tree was in the title.
I've checked A to Zoo, booksinprint.com, and Novelist so far. If anyone
has
an inkling please email me at jpfeiffer@mail.mpl.lib.oh.us.

Can anyone think of any novels suitable for a 14 year old girl, who is
seeing visions/has some psychic ability? I gather that they want books
which show such things in a positive light.
The ones I've thought of so far are: The hounds of the Morrigan; The giver
(Lowry); Moonlight man (Wright), and River boy (Bowler) But most of the
books I found are either dealing with ghosts (and I don't know if that is
the case here) or time travel.
Any suggestions gratefully received. TIA

There's the fact that the Nurse is raped asa punishment for her domination
over
the men. It is a thoroughly sexist book. I wouldn't ban it, but I hate
it. --
