All of Prairienet will be offline January 3rd. Services will be restored as promptly as possible, but Prairienet is conservatively advising everyone to allow 8-10 days of shakedown time during which services may not be fully functional or available 24/7. Prairienet hosts over 150 mailing lists and its systems processes many hundreds of thousands of mailing list posts a day. For this reason, they have asked for our cooperation in reducing the load on the system during this transition period. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Please DO NOT post to PUBYAC or send e-mail to >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> listproc@prairienet.org as of midnight, January 2nd. Listowners will be notified when the Listprocessor is good to go. I will, in turn, post an all-clear to this list. Please refrain from posting to the list until you have seen the all-clear from me. You MAY send message straight to me at the e-mail address below, as that is on an entirely different server. Thanks for your cooperation!

Why do you have craft programs, or offer meeting room space? None of those services are connecting to reading, or may even be considered educational, but just about every library offers them. I don't understand why it it OK to give kids and adults all the fun things that they want, even if it attracts criticism (ex: popular videos, puppets, toys), but when it comes to teens we get super critical?

I'm wondering what those of you with video collections use as your criteria for weeding. Our children's videos are hugely popular, and seem to circulate no matter how old they are and what kind of condition they are in. Some of them have been hanging around for years, have numerous, numerous circs, and are getting pretty dog-eared. As we add new videos, we are beginning to run out of space, so the time has come to thin the ranks. Does any one use a certain number of circulations as the basis for video weeding? If so, what number do you use? How did you arrive at it? (I know I wouldn't want many of our older videos in my VCR - they've really been in too may other peoples'!!) Any other ideas you can share will be greatly appreciated! Thanks, and all best wishes for a New Year of Peace!

Date: Sat, 30 Dec 2000 10:28:54 CST First of all, a list of Storytellers in the area that would be willing = to do storytelling for X amount of dollars. This way all librarians = would have access to just the storytellers whose price would fall in = line with what the library would pay. Secondly, a short sentence or two = on the appropriate age levels for which the storyteller could tell = stories. There should also be included an email address or snail mail = address by which the librarian could reach the storyteller to request = more information directly from the storyteller without obligation. On = the part of he storyteller, it might be a good idea to have a one page = sample sheet ready to send, upon request, with a short list of stories, = age of target audience, possibly ages they have already told stories = too, and their style of storytelling ( i.e. participation stories, = props, etc.). Does the storyteller use music, interact with the audience = specialize in telling certain types of stories (i.e. African folktales, = scary, etc.) and can the teller offer a variety of tales. Does the = storyteller need amplification equipment? All of this information really = makes it easier on both the storyteller and the librarian requesting a = performer. If the storyteller is comfortable with the librarian, he/she = might also get a short paragraph of recommendation, from former = employers, which may be included later with their sample sheet. Also, if = the storyteller has a web site, please include it. For example, on my = web site I have some of the stories I have not only written but perform = for anyone to see. As both a librarian and a professional storyteller, I have been paid for = telling stories at a variety of functions, I have seen both sides of the = street and found that this works best for me. I do know some = storytellers that would be offended if asked for a sample sheet because = they feel that it pigeon holes them. So, I only suggest it as a = voluntary measure.=20 Katy Grant Shawnee Children's Librarian Louisville Free Public Library katy@lfpl.org ------------------------------ From: carmel <carmel@ulysses.sebridge.org> To: Curry Rose Hoskey <hoskey@capecod.net> Subject: Re: what can storytelling do for you? Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Date: Sat, 30 Dec 2000 10:31:05 CST In our library system the Youth Services Department sponsors a Performers Showcase each year. Storytellers, etc. are invited to make short presentations and distribute their flyers at a day-long workshop at system headquarters. Children's librarians and programmers attend and get a good idea of who to hire and how much they charge. This has worked out quite well over the past couple of years, so perhaps your system might be able to organize something similar.

Date: Sat, 30 Dec 2000 10:35:08 CST In Oregon we have a performers showcase every two years. We invite performers of all kinds to come and provide 5 minutes of their thing, whatever it is. Librarians from all over the state come and view the performers and this enables us to have an idea what we could expect from them in terms of quality and style. Performers also like it because they get statewide exposure and are able to make many contacts in one day instead of having to contact individual libraries.

Date: Sat, 30 Dec 2000 10:39:02 CST This whole thing raises a very interesting question - if some specialties are much more in demand than others in a particular area - ie if there was a great dirth of good children's librarians, but adult reference people were a dime a dozen - as a director wouldn't you want to be able to offer more to a prospective children's librarian in order to have a chance at hiring one of the better people instead of having to settle for someone clearly less capable because the best people were going other places where they could make more? Seems to me as though it makes sense to be able to pay the most to the people who have the rarest skills.

Easy books are beginning readers and they are shelved in a different section. We have toddler books that are specifically aimed at 2 year olds and we also have board books that are kept in little wooden cubbies (no order to these, they can strew them around without a big shelving problem). Picture books can go up through elementary age reading levels, but we shelve the really wordy ones with our J chapter books. We have always dreamed of someday changing the call number on the E's to P so that people won't think of them as easys. Sigh.

Date: Sat, 30 Dec 2000 10:47:45 CST We separate out Toddler books and "E" picture books. Toddler books must have content/concepts that are appropriate for children under 3 years old. The Spot books go there, along with most Nancy Tafuri, Anne Rockwell and the Maisy books, for example. They are very popular, and are shelved close to the board books. We don't separate out the long picture books that are almost j fiction. In fact, sometimes they get cataloged j fiction instead. I personally loathe them because they fall between the cracks! --Jendy ------------------------------ From: "Rita Squires Smith" <rita@missoula.lib.mt.us> To: pubyac@prairienet.org Subject: Re: You Know You're a Children's Librarian When...

I have stolen, adapted for my branch, and passed on the ideas to the other children's librarians in my system. Here's a summary of what I was sent: Drama student reciting the I Have a Dream speech Coretta Scott King Award book display Spotlight on I Have a Dream -illustrated edition of the speech (Scholastic, 0-590-20516-1) Focus also on friendship and peace; stories Happy Birthday, Martin Luther King (Jean Marzollo), Upstairs Cat (Kuskin), Yo Yes (Raschka), and The Sneetches (Seuss), Horace and Morris but Mostly Dolores (Howe), Amazing Grace (Hoffman), Sitting Ducks (Bedard). Several fingerplays and friendship cards, bracelets, and dolls as crafts. Songs: The More We Get Together, the Happier We'll Be. Read-a-thon scheduled to last two hours featuring community celebrities using books with a peace theme. Co-sponsored by local reading council and university. Crafts: MLK Banner: print the words I Have a Dream on white felt, decorate with handprints using various skin tone shades of paint, fold top over string, glue edge of fold, and hang by knotted string. Friendship pins: puzzle pieces shaped like people painted different colors, glued together. Glue a safety pin on the back. Focus on civil rights for everyone. Bios on Gandhi, Aung San Suu Kyl, Susan B. Anthony, and others, books on affirmative action, Miranda rights, Korematsu v. the US, and human rights violations in China in an attempt to educate youth about the way civil rights affect their daily lives. Bulletin board featuring a large American flag with a segment of the Dream speech written across it. I'm using this idea with the theme We All Have Dreams with pictures of King, Lincoln, Washington, and George W. Bush, and having kids put up what they want to be when they grow up. This takes care also of President's Day. Preschool story time: Draw Me a Star (Carle), Dreams (Keats), and Yo Yes (Raschka). Craft: paper chain using hand and forearm shapes. Book display of historical fiction and "read for pleasure" non-fiction about the black American experience.

A patron came into the library today, and she wanted to find a book that she read when she was a little girl, and she gave us an entire plot summary but does not have any other information- The book is about a young boy (about 11 years old) who is orphaned, and is sent to live with his uncle in a really big house on Nantucket. The uncle has a dog which is a Mastiff, and the uncle spends a lot of time in the library in the house. There is a handy man whose name might be Gilly, and apparently he is up to no good. Somehow, the boy finds out and exposes him, and by the end of the story, the uncle and the boy form a very tight relationship. I think this might be a mystery/family relationship type book, and it is not a picture book, should be a novel. Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to give!
