I have a couple sleepy adults in my teen area, and it doesn't really
thrill me. But on the other hand, I can't do much about it. I'm
glad I'm
not the only one experiencing this problem. I think no matter what
kind
of sign one decides to put up, it wouldn't do much good to say "teens
only" because it seems like many people just ignore signs like this.

Dear Pubyacers:
I am on the committee to revise the NJ standards for public library service
to children. We want to consider future trends in children's services
in
this document and would like to hear opinions from the larger library world
about this topic. My question to this list is, "WHAT DO YOU THINK
WILL BE
THE 3 NEW TRENDS IN CHILDREN'S SERVICES IN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS".
You can
post your thoughts to the list directly or you can email directly at

Thank you for any and all imput you can give
this committee.

Thanks to all who wrote with suggestions on how to do invisible ink!
For
our Harry Potter party, we used lemon juice, and a very hot iron (a library
staff member was the only one who used the iron). We also used an
unbleached, thin type of paper (I don't know the name). It is very similar
to the paper used in the old "Indian Chief" tablets, if you know
what those
are. Regular computer/typing paper did not work (at least not with
lemon
juice).
Here are other suggestions that I received:
>Try onion juice. Heat makes it cook on a piece of paper.
>Here's a few 'recipes' from the Super Secret Code Book by
Fran
Pickering
All of these suggest that you write with a pen that has a steel nib - like a
fountain pen or calligraphy pen - nib must be clean so the writing fades
properly-
1. Lemon juice -squeeze the juice of 1/2 a lemon to write message - when
juice dries message is invisible - iron paper at low heat to reveal
message
2. Rice water - use water from cooking rice - when cool - write message -
dampen paper and hold over a bottle of iodine for a few minutes to reveal
message
3. Copper sulphate - dissolve one teaspoon in a glass of water - write
message --to read dissolve one teaspoon of sodium carbonate in 4 ounces of
water - pour into flat dish - immerse paper - writing turns blue - paper
dries and writing is brown
4. Cobalt nitrate - dissolve one teaspoon of cobalt nitrate or cobalt
chloride in a cup of water - pink solution will become invisible as you
write with it - use hairdryer or hold in front of heater when dry - writing
will show up deep green
>We used lemon juice as an invisible ink at our Harry Potter party.
However, instead of heat we dipped it in an iodine/water solution. The
results were marginal, since most of the kids did not want to wait for it to
dry before revealing their handiwork. I had gotten the best results
after
the juice had dried when I experimented at home, although it never was super
dark.
>Try milk. I think that works. There is sugar in milk and it
burns more
>easily.
>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.
>I did this in my childhood. We used toothpicks to apply the lemon
juice,
>then held it over a toaster. I think the toaster works better than
an iron
>would since the iron would also potentially smear the juice.
>According to the book Pass It On by Sharon Bailly lemon juice should
work,
>she says to hold the paper so that it touches a hot light bulb.
Or you can use milk and let it dry then take the shavings from a pencil
sharpener and sprinkle the over the paper, shake them over the writing and
discard shavings. The writing should be light gray.
>My brother is a chemistry teacher, and this is a recipe he gave me;
Make a strong solution of baking soda and water. Use it to write with
and
let dry. To develop, put 2 or 3 red cabbage leaves in a blender with a
half
cup of water and blend thoroughly. Strain through a coffee filter or
cheese
cloth toget out the solids. Put the remaining liquid into a pump spray
bottle and spray on the paper. The writing should show up a different
color.

You could take a chocolate kiss, wrap it in red foil unfurled from the
"foil
twine" you can buy at craft stores, secure it with a green pipe
cleaner, and
add green construction paper leaves. This creates the illusion of a
rosebud
that can be displayed in a decorated vase made by the children.
You can also melt 1/4 cup chocolate chips and 1 1/2 teaspoons shortening and
dip plastic spoons in the mixture for stirrers. These can be put in a
plastic
bag and tied with ribbon when they are hard.
How about playing "Drop the Chocolate Kiss" instead of "Drop
The
Handkerchief"
or a chocolate kiss toss into cans or baskets, collecting points?
Good luck!

How about blowing up round light-colored balloons, knotting them and
inserting
them into a hole punched in the middle of a paper plate? Children can
then
decorate the balloon and the plates with permanent markers to make clown
heads.
Twelve Circus Rings by Seymour Chwast can also be used if you want to have
participants demonstrate the talents of the circus people, as you show
the
book and read the words.
Tape or string on the floor makes a pretend tightrope for little ones.
Face painting is always a big hit, as are juggling attempts.
Have fun!

I've been considering approaching the middle school librarian with the
idea of loaning popular series fiction and or new books to her for
students to borrow right from her library.
My goal is to increase circulation, and reach kids who may not be using
this library.
Have any of you tried this with success? Once loaned out, the checkout
of each book would then be the burden of the school staff.
I would have a list of what titles were out on the bulk loan to the
school. I think we could set it up so checkin could be completed here,
if the student so chooses.
I know I may end up with some missing materials this way, but I'm trying
to figure out if the benefits of having more books accessible to the
YA's would outweigh this. Any advice?

Hello all-
We are excited to be planning an expansion of our Children's Room after a =
successful referendum. One of the new features of the Children's Room
=
will be a nursing (breasfeeding) room. It will be a small space, holding =
one or two glider-rockers, a small table, outlet for pumps, etc.). Does =
anyone out there have one in your library now? Even if you don't, I'd like =
to ask for your input on a couple of issues surrounding this addition:
1) What about a lock on the door? The architects originally drew the =
nursing room without a door, but with a curved wall sort of enclosing the =
glider-rockers within. I'm a nursing mom myself, and I objected to this as =
a problem with privacy. However, the issue of the room being used for =
reasons other than nursing came up if kids who just wanted a quiet space =
could lock themselves in and then the moms who needed it couldn't use it. =
What do you think? Any experience in this area?
2) If you have a nursing room (or worked in another place that had one), =
how was use handled? Were there any problems? Any other suggestions?
Thanks so much for your help. We're glad to provide this important service =
for our parents and want to find the best way to make it work.

Many years ago I was at Los Angeles County Public Library and our theme
was "Library Kids have Tons of Fun." Instead of counting
number of books
we had a postal scale at the desk and weighed the books. We had a
scale
on our bulleting board and each day (or was it once a week) we added books
to the pile on the scale and updated the total weight read. By the end
of
the summer out kids had literally read a ton of books. The kids had
fun
and it was great that they were working towards a common goal. If you
have long lines the weighing might be too time consuming though.

Linda -
Here's a couple of craft ideas from my book, Summer Reading Programs
(McFarland, 1992):
1. Help children understand how cacao pods grow by making their own
version.
Give each child 2 football shapes pieces of paper (cut from a brown paper
bag
or construction paper.) Staple them together, leaving an opening at
one
end.
Use almond-shaped pieces of cardboard or kidney beans as the cacao beans.
Stuff 20 to 40 beans inside the pod, then staple the opening closed.
You
can
use them to construct a cacao tree, making the tree trunk and leaves from
construction paper. Staple the pods onto the tree.
2. Make chocolate-scented stationery. Provide several sheets of
note paper
and assorted rubber stamps. Melt a milk chocolate bar. Let the
kids use
the
chocolate as a stamp pad, to print designs on the note paper.

I think Cathy was just trying to explain why she was
suggesting
another (as in "additional") listserv for YA lovers. She
thought there
were a number of us who might be interested in using the other listserv
that she had found helpful. Since she found it helpful, I assume that
she must, in fact, be a YA librarian; therefore, why would she object to
our talking about more YA matters than before?

In our library, sleeping is not allowed! Our previous director used to
make
us go around and wake up sleeping patrons. That was always
embarrassing for
both parties involved! But in your situation, you might want to make
it a
rule that no one can sleep in the library. Of course, then you'd still
have
to decide what to do with the adults who just want to SIT on the YA's comfy

Fun and Games
Circus Children
Let the children take turns acting out a circus animal they've seen in the
circus books. They can take turns and play follow the leader.
Using a hula hoop, have the children pretend to be circus lions jumping
through the hoop. Let them come up with other tricks circus animals
might
do.
Circus Fun
Make some popcorn and give it to the children as a snack while you read them
a story. After the story you can do some face painting! Use
water soluble
markers or makeup to create clown and animal faces.
Circus Train
You can create a train using milk cartons of any size. Rinse them out
well
and cut the top so you can fold it down flat. Give the children scraps
of
construction paper, crayons and glue to cover the cartons. Poke a hole
in
both ends. Then tie a knot both ends of a length of string and push
the
knots into the holes. You can add wheels by gluing on construction
paper
circles.

Hi everyone---
I've got another one! A patron came in asking for a book that is a
Cinderella-type story, and supposedly we have it in our collection. I
have
done a few searches on our PAC, the Internet and in the usual book sources.
Now I have to see if my human resources have the answer!
Here's what she remembers: a girl wants a boy to ask her to the
country
dance, but he doesn't--she ends up sitting on a bridge; later she gets
married and has a daughter and twin sons; the artwork is amazing (so it
must be a picture book...).
TIA!

Many thanks to Elaine Morgan and Jen Vanston Marin for their help with my
stumper about the mouse trap. "My patron is looking for a book he read
as a
child (35-40 years ago) about a mouse who takes straws from a broom and uses
the straw to trip a mousetrap and get the cheese. When someone takes the
broom away the mouse cries and his tears trip the trap."
The book is HENRY, THE UNCATCHABLE MOUSE by Sidney Simon, ill. by Nola
Langner, 1964.
The patron was delighted!

I have a customer who would like to find his girlfriends favorite book from
her childhood. I don't have much to go on. He knows that the main character
in the book was a wolf named Hooper. The book is at least 10 to 15 years
old. I've tried all the usual sources and have had no luck.
Thanks in advance for your help. This is an amazing list with such great
information.
