Dear friends,
Happy Dr. Seuss' birthday! I hope you all had fun "reading across
America"
and commemorating the birthday of the good doctor in many ways.
Here in Springfield, Massachusetts Seuss fans young and old ate green eggs
and ham, read Seuss books, and even had a videoconference with children in
Iceland! Ted Geisel, a/k/a Dr. Seuss, was born in Springfield and many
images, people, and even some events in his books are based on things he
saw and did growing up here.
We are excited to let you know that on June 1, 2002, the Dr. Seuss National
Memorial will open on the grounds of the Springfield Library and Museums
Association. I invite you to visit the website, learn more, and
bookmark
it to keep track of the progress of the memorial.

Happy Birthday to You, Dr. Seuss!

I have a request for a book that one of my storytime participants remembers
that I read in a program several years ago. Unfortunately, her description
doesn't ring any bells with me.
A boy doesn't want to brush his teeth and his mom takes him to a meadow
where
they observe animals doing what they are supposed to be doing. It is
picture
book level. It is an expansion on Langstaff's Over in the Meadow. Not
in
the
A to Zoo.
Any ideas? Thank you.

Please help:
Patron wants to track down a story he heard told some years ago. It
may
be a short story or a tale to be told.
Two little animals were called "In" and "Out".
Story goes something
like"When In was in, "Out" was out." etc.
This has us stumped. Any ideas?
Thanks very much.

Thanks to Ellen Heaney for her suggestion of _Hi Ho Librario: songs,
chants, and stories to keep kids humming_ by Judy Freeman and to the
Children's Library Team at Toledo (OH) Public (who the patron had also
called). The poem the patron wanted was found in _Wonder Tales from Around
the World_ by Heather Forest. The poem is entitled " A Dedication
398.2"
If anyone would like a copy of the poem, please email me and I can send
you a copy.

I have a male patron looking for a book he can read to his 6 year old
daughter, which reflects their situation.
He was there when she was born, and he is the only father she has known, but
he didn't marry the mother until later, and legally adopted the girl then
(when she was under 2)
The marriage has now broken up, and the mother is going to tell the girl she
is adopted.
All our adoption stories are about couples adopting - can anyone think of
any which are more like this situation?
Please reply directly to me. TIA

A patron came in yesterday looking for a book about a giant sandwich that
a whole town builds using a crane. Her 21 year old daughter read it when
she was in first grade. It is a picture book. She remembers that the
sandwich was made with bread that the baker baked and meat, not jam (we
offered her the book Giant Jam Sandwich and this was not it). This plot
seems familiar to me, but I haven't come up with a title. Does it ring any
bells? Please respond directly to me at vikstrom@epfl.net.
Thanks in

A patron is looking for a book he heard about - he has not seen it
himself. Here is the description:
It's a picture book with a story invovling the 3 little pigs suing the
big bad wolf for damages. It is not On Trial- A Criminal Simulation of
the Big Bad Wolf, nor is it The True Story of the Three Little Pigs.
He
does not know if it is a newer or older book. Any suggestions, please
send to me and I'll post. TIA! Kathleen

Today, in the "other" library censorware case, Kathleen R. v. City
of =
Livermore, a California Court of Appeal upheld the lower court's ruling =
dismissing the Complaint. The Plaintiff had alleged, under both state
law =
theories and Section 1983, that the public library was liable for allowing =
her twelve year old son to download supposedly pornographic images from =
the Internet.
The Court held that the state law claims were preempted by federal law, =
and that the City was immune from them under 47 USC Section 230. The =
Section 1983 claim was dismissed because (in short form) the Library had =
not duty to protect its minor patrons from such activity.
The Opinion is available in either .doc or .pdf from http://www.courtinfo.c=

I've not yet updated the Censorware Project's archive of the case, but for =
those interested, we have a discussion of the case (prior to today's =
