I work in a public library and we have "free days"
where everyone knows fines don't matter. You could
tie in a free day with Valentine's day and give out
Conversation hearts or other holiday candy. I just
saw something in a teen summer reading manual that
could be adapted for you purpose too. They suggested
giving away coupons for cents off overdue fines or for
no fines. Since your really not worried about the
money (and I totally agree with you, it's getting back
the books that matter) that might be a good idea.
Hope this helps.

We just added some new comfortable furniture to our smallish YA area.
A
loveseat & two chairs. Some teens are using them, but so are many
sleepy
adults, who appreciate the fact that we now have a nice place for them to
nap. "Add more napping grown-ups" was not on my list of
things we could do
to draw more teens to this space. When I can I let the nappers know
that
we're really hoping teens will use this space, and so far they're agreeable.
But I'd like to find other ways to prevent this from happening. Any
ideas
for nicely worded signs, rules, or other strategies that might solve this
problem?

Dear PUBYAC people,
Later in the year I will be helping to organise a month-long "what you
can
get from your library" promotion. We plan, at this stage, to do a
few
things along the lines of promoting our genre labels, having a quiz and
scavenger hunt and enlarging some of our existing pamphlets to poster size
to display around the library - but I am still on the prowl for more ideas!
I would really appreciate contributions of ideas used in similar exercises
that have been successful for you in your library. Maybe you had/have
a
bright idea to share with everyone! I'm looking for things that will
be
relatively straightforward and cheap to implement, but effective in a
library setting.
Many thanks to everyone. I will post a summary list of promotion
ideas.

Sorry I didn't finish reading the whole message, but the last two years we
have had 8th grade volunteers manning our program desk, because of budget
cuts (we used to have two college students for three months full-time) and
by this time they all have keyboarding skills to rival ours. I do
periodic
checks on the databases no matter who is inputting the info, just to make
sure that everything is going OK.
We stress having the input person spell back the name as they are typing it
in the computer, as well as the school, for accuracy. We had 10 kids
helping us the summer before last, and the time at the program desk was
prime time, way above doing Ellison Die cuts, or any other jobs we came up
with. They really feel important, and when they are inputting into the
computer, it seems more like a REAL job!

Have any of you created a computer database to record participant info for
your Summer Reading Club? What program or software do you use?
Is it
worthwhile? Does it change the way you put together your statistics?
What

Please excuse cross postings.
Have you or your library ever used linear measurements to track
summer reading? We are *considering* using inches as our
benchmarks and I'd like to hear your thoughts and experiences
with using measurements besides time and number of books to
provide incentives. We are experimenting ourselves with actually
measuring different reading levels as well as formats (books on
tape or board books for instance) and deciding how that translates
into goals that can be acheived in the regular 2 month SRP time
period.
Pleae respond to knorris@huntleylibrary.org

post the results if there is interest.
Thank you.

At Scottsdale, we had five sections all together: J FIC, J Nonfic, and JE

FIC
was rough-sorted by title, NONFIC fine-sorted by Dewey. All five were
searchable on the computer catalogues, and other than getting mis-shelved
once in a while (like any book) I'm not aware of any problems. We
eventually got a video self-check machine as well.

I had a patron in last night who is working on her thesis, and was
wondering if there is a list somewhere of childless children's authors.
She said whenever she tried Internet searches, she got inappropriate

If there is such a list, would you let me know?

I know that readers aren't really our line, but I'm tossing this out there:
A patron came in and wanted to find a "David and Debbie" reader.
She said
they were along the line of "Dick and Jane" (i.e., a basal reader)
in the
early to mid 1960s. She's attending a wedding, and the bride and groom
are
David and Debbie, and was hoping to present them w/ the book.
I looked in Google, and there is a Talking Book that seems to be right,
called "What Time is It?", but no author given. Patron
didn't want that,
but is willing to purchase a used copy, if they can get it in time (wedding
is within a month).
I also found a couple of series websites, but they don't list anything under
David or Debbie, and nothing in our great big reference book on series.
Anybody can give me a series title, or an author, or any other clue; would
be much appreciated!

I have had an enquiry from a lady looking for a story she thinks is by Dr

not been able to find any trace of any titles like these, and have checked a
variety of sources including Random House's Seussville web site. The lady
has
been looking for it for a number of years and was told that the best place
to
check after all her other searches was libraries who might have an old copy.
It
might also not actually be Dr Seuss, or have ben published under another

Hi all,

probably from the 50s. (Could be before or slightly

deciding what they each hope to purchase come harvest.
The daughter is hoping for a piano. A good deal of
money disappers and there is a man, either a helper or
a drifter who everyone believes may be the thief. But
the money is found elsewhere. Everyone's wishes come
true (must be the fifties) The daughter gets the
piano.
