We are in the process of re-writing our selection policy and want to
include criteria for choosing internet sites that we link on our Kid's
page. I'm familiar with general guidelines--accurate, age-appropriate,
current--but was wondering if anyone had already written criteria. Could
you send me a copy?

I'm willing to post to the list a compilation if there is interest.

Last school year I started a book discussion group for children aged 8-11.
About half the group is homeschooled. The first year I had about 6 who
came regularly; this year we are up to between 10 and 12 kids each month.
At first, it was mainly girls but now there are 5 boys.
We all read the same book ahead of time and I either write up questions or
use ones from websites. The Multnomah Library website has a great book
discussion page with questions and links to publishers questions
http://www.multnomah.lib.or.us/lib/talk/index.html.
I usually ask the questions but I always start by letting them give their
opinion of the book and if there are kids who didn't read the book present,
I have someone give a quick summary. I try to include questions that
everyone can discuss even if they didn't finish the book - such as "What
would you do if you were in that situation?"
I interlibrary loan 10 copies each of two or three different titles ahead
of time each month so that they can vote on what to read for the next
meeting. They seem to prefer historical fiction and fantasy books.
We always have juice and cookies or pretzels too. I'd be happy to send you
a list of the books we read if you email me.

The Dark is Rising
by Julia Ecklar (copyright sometime in the early 80's, I think)
typed from memory by Maggi Rohde, so forgive any errors!

Iron for the birthday, bronze carried long
Wood from the burning, stone out of song
Fire from the candle ring, water from the thaw
These six signs the seeker at the last sign-seeker's call
Fire on the mountaintop shall find the harp of gold
Played to wake the Sleepers, the oldest of the old
Power from the Greenwitch that's been lost beneath the sea
All these things shall find the Light, the silver on the tree.

Chorus:=A0 =A0 When the Dark comes rising, six shall turn it back
=A0 =A0 Three from the circle, three from the track
=A0 =A0 Wood, bronze, iron, water, fire, stone
=A0 =A0 Five shall return and one go alone

On the Day of the Dead when the year too dies
Find the youngest in the oldest hills, the door where seabirds fly
There fire shall flee the raven boy and silver see the wind
And the Light shall have the harp of gold in safety once again
By the pleasant lake on Cadven's Way the ancient Sleepers lie
Where the Grey King's shadows hunt the land and wicked kestrels cry
There one great Thing of Power by the Light shall sing and guide
So the Sleepers find their long sleep's end and before the Light out ride.

Chorus

The grail is first to lead them over sea and under stone
A seeker soon to follow on a quest begun alone
Ways of old to guide and guard, paths to bring and send
Circles both in light and dark from starting until end
When light back from the Lost Land's shore shall in the end return
Six Sleepers all shall ride again, six signs shall brightly burn
And when Midsummer's tree grows up all silver fair and tall
Pendragon's sword against the Dark shall bring Dark's final fall.

Chorus

I agree, I never mind the older children. The only problems that I have with
the Parent/Toddler times are with parents. Often during the morning classes
the parents that typically send all day with their children want a break and
will talk to each other and let the children run free during the session.
Sometimes it can be one CRAZY ride!

I also think it is important to have a responsible adult attending the
children who are at the library enjoying story time. If one adult brings
in 15 children (who may or may not be of the same age range appropriate for
the given story time) and two of the children in that group need personal
adult attention, who helps the second child? The librarian? thereby
basically ending story time for all of the other children?
In many situations, there are no other library personnel around or able to
help. So it is important to have story time/library experience available,
but in a manner that takes the children's needs and safety into
consideration and the librarians ability to handle situations as they arise.

As with many of our discussions of story time practices, these factors
will be different for each person and each library.

I think it is important to remember that, as a national average, over 50% of

our children ARE in daycare. So it is quite appropriate for children in
daycare to take 50% of your storytime slots. If this really creates a
problem for you, consider offering a daycare-only storytime at a different
time of day and fill it completely with children in child care. All
children deserve an opportunity to be a part of library storytime, whether
their mom, dad, au pair, grandma, or child care provider brings them in.

"Why did we decide to become the public e-mail and chat provider?
What percent of our budget for staff and capital expenditures is

than 30 or 40,000 people exist without an in-house I.S. person anymore?
Do Internet users, who I often call "'Net scum" in moments of blunt, though
uncharitable stereotyping: borrow books? scare other patrons away? present
library conduct code problems far beyond their numbers? represent a
labor-and capital- intensive investment, not to mention occasional public
relations nightmare, we can ill afford?
Do children really ask for Internet services in your children's departments?

Do the constant broken machines, printer foulups, 'Net training miasmas, and

prurient page appearances tax your staff's patience, expertise, values, and
workload?
Sometimes I feel the very same way. But only sometimes.

***************

Why does a library have Internet access? Well, I feel it is the same reason

free public libraries provided books in the beginning. To "level the
playing field". Only people who could afford to buy books or belong to
subscription libraries had access to information.

Even though computer ownership is very wide spread, it does not spread to
everyone. And having a computer does not mean you have Internet access.

I have to confess that at my branch I do not have the overwhelming problems.

But what I do see are grandparents getting e-mail from their children and
grandchildren (and in one case, great grandchild) from the other side of the

country, or even overseas. They are also learning to "surf the net" so they

do not feel useless and out of touch and they do learn something.

I have children writing out their reports and researching topics that I
cannot provide a lot of information on here at my branch. (And that they
need, NOW, of course.)

This is a subject that just makes the nerve endings grate when the day has
been long and full of aggravation, and when by providing it we become the
"bad guys" because the patrons cannot learn to control themselves in what is

a public place, the PUBLIC library.

And when it is DEMANDED as a basic right. Like in the "old days", when if
you did not have EVERY book that the difficult patron wanted, you were
cursed as being useless (actually that still happens, right?)

So, I guess we keep trying to work it out because it is the state of
information today.

Good morning all,

I have another unusual request for fingerplays to expand a storytime. Has
anyone done any with wolves? I don't necessarily mean just the Big Bad
Wolf, although that might be fun too. There have been some great books
lately on wolves and of course all the stories that deal with the Big Bad
Wolf. I'd like to add more fillers and wiggle breaks to the kit circulating

In response to Leslie's request for poetry activities for children, for the
past two years, we have had great success with a children's poetry contest
and a "poetry hunt" in the children's room.

First the Poetry Contest: We encourage teachers to have their classes enter
the poetry contest, but take individual entries also. Entries are taken in
March, and the poems are displayed on library bulletin boards during
National Poetry Month in April. The entry form is accompanied by an
informational sheet for kids about some different types of poetry. All who
enter are put into a raffle, and three names are drawn. Winners receive a
book of poetry for children. This is an easy way to get hundreds of people
involved.

The Poetry Hunt is like a treasure hunt. We created "poetry pockets" out
of heavy paper, hid them in various places in the stacks, and filled them
with postcard-sized poem cards created with Print Shop and printed with our
computer printer on card stock. There is a different poem in each pocket,
and the kids get to keep the cards they find. We ask them to let us know
if they find an empty pocket so we can fill it with another poem. A poster
at the entrance to the children's room gets their attention and shows them
what to look for. It's great to see kids hunting for pockets and
collecting the poetry cards. Many of them sit there and read them aloud to
parents or siblings. We keep this activity up for the entire month of
April and sometimes a little longer! Once the cards are made, it requires
little attention from the library staff. This year we will add a few new
poetry cards.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Folks-- I'm interested in doing a column for SLJ on this very topic (I just
returned from Midwinter, where I got involved in a discussion on the topic),
& so (with my apologies to Jeanne for butting in), I'd also like to see or
hear about Web site selection policies, & ask permission to quote yours.

Back in 1997 ALSC's Children & Technology Committee wrote a selection policy
for ALA's 700+ Great Web Sites that I still think is pretty good, at least
as a basis to start from. It's at
www.ala.org/parentspage/greatsites/criteria.html.

I think it's important in any policy to state:

1) That the library recognizes the fluid nature of the Net, and a resource
recommend today may change significantly tomorrow, and thus the staff will
check both the links and the sites themselves on a regular basis;

2) that many excellent sites are commercial in nature, and the staff will
select some commercial sites, but only those in which the advertising does
not overwhelm the content; and

3) that the staff will check, as part of the selection process, the
authorship and the accuracy of the material on a site under consideration.

There are a lot of other issues, too, but I'd like to hear what others are
thinking. Thanks, W

I agree that older children can usually be accomodated. Most often they
are content to find a corner and busy themselves with books, colouring,
etc. I do stress that it is a special one-on-one time between parent and
child. Younger children are a different matter altogether. Tiny babies who
will sleep through the program are obviously fine but it's the 4 to 20
month old at a Tales for Twos program that pose a problem. I had one once
who was very active and trampled over the children's crafts. Sometimes you
have to say no and in that kind of situation I do.

This is the first time I have needed help locating a book -- but the
response is always so helpful I am hopeful! I am looking for a book about
someone who's memory is bad -- and they blame missing items on someone who
comes in and steals their things. Of course, the items are just mislaid.
This is for a grandmother who is getting forgetful -- I would love to find
the book, but I have little information. I have a feeling it is fairly
new -- maybe there was a review in the newspaper within the year, etc. Any

Glad to hear it doesn't just happen to me! Although it is getting better =
since we changed our seating from chairs to floor!

I think if you are just starting out and adding Children's Programming you
need to keep in mind how many hours of programming you can prepare and
present. I think a weekly toddler/preschool storytime is a great way to get
children and parents to the library. For school age children, since you have
funding, you could hire outside professionals to present programs such as
animals, puppets, etc. In our community we have also scheduled speakers that
come for free, such as members of the Audubon Society. It would be great to
start a Summer Reading program. If you don't have a Friends Group yet, start
recruiting. They can be a big help. Good Luck!

I am doing a bibliography for a teacher of non-fiction books on scientists
or inventors who are not white males. Does anyone have such a list and if
so, would you be willing to share?

Thanks
