As I said earlier, I go by Children's Librarian, or Librarian for Children's
Services. Our Adult Reference Librarians all have other designations,
so
they don't go by Adult. For example we have a Local History and Genealogy
Librarian, a Serials and A/V Librarian, a Librarian for Computer and
Technical Services, a Young Adult Librarian; all of these are Adult
Reference Librarians, but they have their own specialty, as well.

How about "Feature Films", or just "popular videos"?
The second has the
same problem as "Reference Librarians" or the "Fiction
Department," in that
it implies that kids' stuff is somehow not "real," but generally
no one
seems to be terribly bothered by that terminology.

Nineteen years ago I was asked to help make "sand" jars at Bible
School. (I hadn't been to church for a few years but agreed to help.)
We put salt in a large bowl and added drops of food coloring and stirred
and added coloring until the right shade is achieved. You can blend
the
food coloring drops to make different colors too. We then layered the
"sand" in baby food jars and topped off with plaster of paris.
The
project was a success and I married the pastor of the church a year
later! So colored salt always brings back great memories for me!
Thanks for reminding me of this.

We've just received a joint LSTA grant with our local high school for

We have some materials in mind already, but I'd also like to see what
you'd recommend for good Spanish-language reference materials for the

Thanks - I appreciate the help!

We have one computer set aside for the patrons that for one reason or
another have special needs. It has all the bells and whistles to help with
things like arthritis, poor eyesight, etc. It was purchased through our
Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped. We find that it works very

Subject: carpal tunnel computer use policy?
Am throwing myself on the collective experience and legal wisdom of this
list.
Do any fellow PUBYAC'ers with public-access computers with a time limit have
a written policy which specifically allots extra time, above the limit, for
patrons with physical hand/arm problems (carpal tunnel, arthritis, etc.)? Or
states that any person with a disability is entitled to extra time beyond
the standard allotment?
Also curious as to whether this type of policy is a requirement in order to
be ADA-compliant. For example, if a person with, say, carpal tunnel or
arthritis or any other
physical disability requires more than the standard time limit, are we
legally required to extend their time or be charged with an ADA violation
and fined and possibly sued?
(I am not talking about accessibility, of course. This question came up
hypothetically and I wasn't sure of the formal, correct answer. I think in
practice people would give them extra time if there weren't a lot of other
people waiting to use the computers, but as far as actual official law, I
wasn't sure!)
Thanks!

Cross posted for maximum response.
We are placing a big order for the entire "My
Name is America"
series. There has been some discussion about the title "The Journal of
Pendleton Collins: A World War II soldier." by Walter Dean Myers.
The main character is a 17 year old participating
in the attack on
Normandy Beach. There is some violence and mild swearing, such as "My
skin went real cold and I could feel my balls shrivel up into a knot."
(p. 58)
The question is: is this a YA book? The rest of the
series will be
in Childrens. Some of us feel the series should stay together, others
think we should decide title by title.
Anyone else had this discussion about this or other
like series?

Our "adult" videos are referred to as feature videos or adult
feature
videos (coming from "feature film"), to distinguish them from the
non-feature videos, such as documentaries, exercise videos, instructional
videos and the like, which are shelved by the adult non-fiction, and from
the children's videos, which are also divided into feature (any video
whose primary purpose is entertainment) and non-feature (informational
videos, which are cataloged with Dewey decimal).
Until fairly recently, we did not place holds on feature videos, although
we did on non-feature. We recently changed this policy to allow holds
on
feature videos where the movie came out more than 10 years ago, and had
put up signs to let patrons know of this change. A patron came up to
me
and wanted to know why there was a sign announcing that anyone 10 or older
could put holds on R-vated videos. This question threw me for a loop
until I had her show me the sign, which read, "Holds may now be placed
on
adult feature videos ten years old or older".

Two years ago our SR theme was "Find Treasure at the Library". We
did not
want to glorify pirates but did use them in this way: when we went to the
schools to promo our program my assistant and I did a skit in which we were
two not very bright pirates who heard that there was treasure at the library
and were trying to find the library so we could get the treasure. We put our
emphasis on the aspect of the treasure. At our first program we made
treasure boxes (bakery boxes with pasta glued on the top and spray painted
gold) Our prizes were in a large treasure chest. We decorated like a
tropical island.

Dear Pubyac,
Our library is in the throes of re-thinking our policy on
young
adult cards and would like input from other professional
opinions/experiences/practices. Currently, at age 12, youths are
allowed to sign up for an adult card without parental permission and are
not required to list a parent as a reference or contact. This was put
in to practice to encourage youths from non-library going families to
feel free both to sign up for a card and to guarantee their privacy to
take out materials without parents being able to view their record. ( In
most cases where they are simply "graduating" from a children's
card,
the parental information is kept in the system.) This practice has
been
called into question because, in cases of lost materials, we do not have
even a parent's name to bill or contact and are limited in pursuing the
matter with the youths because they are not of legal age. One of our
librarians feels strongly that not only should we continue this policy
but even extend it to 'stripping' parents' names off of all youth adult
cards to protect their privacy regardless of the impact on being unable
to even bill for lost/unreturned materials while another feels we should
have a parent's name for contact if at all possible to help cut down on
our losses. What do you think? Thanks!

that
the sand used for sand blasting is very white. I bought a 40-50 pound
bag
for like $3 and it was very nice and white and colored beautifully. So
if
you are wishful of getting sand-- try that. I used it for

The word "adult" can be used either as a noun
or an adjective;
hence, we have the "adult collection," an "adult book,"
an "adult
bookstore," etc., meaning "meant for or appropriate for"
adults.
"Children" can never be an adjective, no matter how hard it tries,
and
the only adjectival form I can think of ("childish" means
something
entirely different) is the possessive of the noun, i.e. "children's,
"
meaning meant for or appropriate for a child." Somehow, the
language
did not develop in a parallel fashion, perhaps because children weren't
considered important enough to merit an adjective or never had anything
created or designated especially for them back in the days when the
English was getting started.
Let us know how your librarian discussion goes.

The thing is that "adult" is a noun, but also an
adjective. "Youth," also. "Children,"
however,
is just a noun, and you have to say something like
"childish" to make it an adjective. That's why
Children Librarian (or Services) doesn't work,
while Youth or Adult Librarian (or Services)
does. (Patrons do sometimes think that our "Young
Adult Librarian" is a youthful staff member,
however. That's the nice thing about the word
"services.")
And maybe the solution to "adult videos" is just
to say "videos for adults"?

I have never used the alcohol method for sand, but it worked well for pasta.
I used a ziplock bag and liquid food coloring. These may work better for
sand. Be sure to air dry sand outside as the odor initially is quite strong.

Hi Everyone,
I am contemplating facilitating a workshop/discussion forum titled
"Teen Web
Design Trading Post." (If you have suggestions for a better title,
please
let me know.) The participants would be teens ages 12-18, grades
7-12.
The library I work at has a computer training center which can seat up to 16
participants. I plan on giving each participant a floppy disk
that he or
she can use to save clip-art, and their new web pages. I
would teach the
participants how to upload their pages to "free" sites such as
GeoCities.
(if anyone has any suggestions, that would also be great!)
After an introduction, the participants could break up into groups.
Each
group would have teens who have some web design experience as well as teens
with no web design experience.
Have any of you presented a similar event at your library? If so, I'd
love
to hear more about it. I would appreciate any advice.
I have found several sites that may be useful for beginners. If
you have
other suggestions, please let me know.

Greeting, oh collective brain -- I have a stumper and I know someone =
out there knows the answer and will respond quicker that I can even =
imagine. Here goes -- My patron is seeking the story of the three year
=
old girl who is lost in the woods and is later found in the company of a =
bear cub. It sounds, oh, so familiar, but I cannot remember it.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Patron recently started reading a book in a Florida book store. It was
a
picture book for an older child. The story was about a mouse who was
watching all of the animals board the ark two by two and this particular
mouse was not one of those chosen. He snuck on board the ark anyway
and
that's where my patron stopped reading and she very much would like to know
the title author of this book so she can finish the story. She thinks
it is
a fairly new book as it was at the front of the bookstore on display.
I
have checked our copy of A to Zoo but it's older than Noah.
Feel free to reply to me off list.

I have a patron who remembers a story she read in the late 70's, but of
course, it could have been published much earlier. It was a time-travel
fantasy and she thinks the main characters name was Emily. It is about a
girl in the then present day who goes back to the time of World War II when
her mother was young. Her mother now remembers that Emily, and says the
younger girl is named for her. The patron thought it was taking place in the
US, but remembered them going to a bomb shelter that sounds to me like
London. Oh and very important clue, the author was at the beginning of the
alphabet, after Alcott and before I. Don't you love it!
I've checked Emily by keyword, Fantasy Literature for Children and Young
Adults, Third Edition, and my feeble brain cells.

Hi All!
Please can someone help us out with a customer request for a book which is a

The
story is about an older couple arranging their library collection. It

having the story read to them at school. The title and author are
unknown!
