We did this with the Girl Scouts. You have to hold the paper over a
flame
after the juice is dry. I don't think an iron is hot enough.
I don't know
if I would want to do this in the library with a large group, but it worked
well with my small group of Girl Scouts.

Hi everyone--
I'm in search of a new hello/greeting song to start my toddler storytimes.
I've found a few that I like, but I'm not sure that they would work
with a
larger group (naming each child individually, etc.). I'd like to keep
the
song short and simple, if possible.
Does anyone have any good recommendations?
Thanks!
:) ruhama

Cathy Norman posted an idea a while back about pockets with poems. I
printed this off and put it in my stash for storytime ideas. I ended
up
taking it a bit farther. I'm going to make a pocket board. I'll
cover the
board with felt, fabric, whatever. Then some folks are going to donate
pockets from old shirts and pants. Add those to the board, with the
tops
open of coarse! Print out poems on cards to fit in the pockets.
At the end
of storytime we'll read a poem from a new pocket. Maybe ask a child to
pick
the pocket of the day. The pockets could be labeled in some way (date,
day
of the week, color, pictures from a series of themes, book character, etc.)
and that could be the deciding choice as well. Ooh, these ideas just
keep
growing! I'm an outreach librarian/storyteller, so my things need to
be
transportable, durable and easy to carry. I may end up using the back
of my
traveling folding flannel board. I'll let you know how it works
out.......

I have been asked by a Homeschooling mother to
consider doing a book discussion for a group of
pre-teen homeschooled children. I am the children's
librarian at my library and my focus has always been
on preschool story times, etc. Our Young Adult
librarian does book discussions for the YA's, but says
that the group pretty much leads the discussion on
their own. Does anyone know of a good reference or
guide to running a book discussion, or have any
tips/advice?
Thanks in advance

I just wanted to thank everyone who responded to my "circulation of
periodicals" survey. Your input is HIGHLY appreciated. I'm
still trying to
put the results in a format that would be understood by anyone other than
me, but if you'd like to see what I learned, please let me know.
THANKS AGAIN!!

Dear Colleagues,
Wadsworth Public Library passed its levy in November
(hurrah), and
now we're planning for a new building. Our Board of Trustees has asked
a staff committee to make a recommendation about how to preserve patron
privacy while still allowing us to enforce our Internet Access Policy.
Hence, the following query.
What kind of action(s) has your library taken to secure
privacy for
internet users, especially those patrons desirous of doing research of a
private nature? Do you use some physical barrier, i.e., carrels,
privacy screens, shrouds? Do you use software interference -
filtering? Do you have a separate computer/internet room with or
without a staff monitor?
Please reply to this e-mail with your thoughts,
experiences,
observations, etc. to stacey.boycik@wadsworth.lib.oh.us
by January 19.
Your response will be shared among the members of the Library's
Electronic Committee and perhaps summarized for a report to the
Library's Board of Trustees..
Thanks in advance for your help!
