I work in a public library as an assistant Librarian
in a children's room and my supervisor and I want to
start a book discussion group for children and their
parents/gurdains.
I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on where
to start and if there were any books available on book
groups with children. I have seen plenty for adults
and have also looked at The Mother Daughter Book Club
any ohter suggestions?
Thanks

Just finished rereading "Beezus and Ramona" so when this question
came up
the first thing that popped into my mind was Ramona, first sprinkling graham
cracker crumbs around the house, and then putting her doll in the oven (and
ruining Beezus' Birthday Cake). Not sure I would read this to preschoolers
and give them these ideas. Also a lot of our parents object to stories with
witches in them. You would have to know your audience before doing this one.
Just my opinion.

Laura,
Have you tried BWI (Book Wholesalers, Inc.)? They have a juvenile
series standing order program and maintain lists of numerous
series, both in catalog form and online (I am not at work, so don't
have the website, but try www.bwi.com).
I believe they may have
juvenile non-fiction series in their listings.
Cheers,

Subject: Re: Pirates?
We had an extremely successful program with this theme. We
concentrated on
books about buried treasure, sunken ships, & famous pirates and how they
ended up. We used Jane Yolen's book "The Ballad of the Pirate
Queens" and
Kathy Tucker's book "Do Pirates Take Baths?" when we went to the
schools.
Yolen's book for the older grades(3rd 6th) was a good book to have them read
with you. The repeating section we put on a poster board so the kids
could
"read along". Tucker's book for the younger grades (K-2) was
a good one to
ask questions and get their responses. We dressed up as pirates which
was a
good effect. Our Pirate ship was the "SRP" Ship of
Reading Pirates! We
decorated our area with an island theme. Construction paper palm
trees,
grass skirt for main table, tissue paper fish hanging from the ceiling, etc.
For one program we had a 6 inch wide board leading into & out of the
childrens area and they could "walk the plank" to go home.
Our craft activities included:
A treasure box made of 2 plastic baskets (the kind mushrooms come in at the
grocery store - they were donated) hinged together with packing tape &
fake
jewels glued on top.
A treasure map made out of tan copy paper with some type of a map copied
onto it. All they kids had to do was wad it up tightly and smooth it out
gently 5 or 6 times till it resembled an old crumpled map. This
process
also make the paper very soft and "fragile". Your treasure
map could be of
the children's area with "treasured areas" marked.
Ours was of an island
with areas that represented each program for the summer. That was the
kid's
could see "where " they were going through the summer. Such
as: Fantasy
Falls, Biography Bay, Danger Bay, Turtle Cliffs, Recreation River, Treasure
Island, Series Jungle, etc. (We were shipwrecked in Danger Bay in the first
program & had to learn how to survive! We were rescued in the last
program
by a hero in Biography Bay!)
We had no complaints from the schools or parents. It was just good
clean
fun for the kids imagination. (When we signed in at the office of one
school they jokingly asked us if we had any swords or knives on us!)
We
never did try to act scarey or mean. We presented some factual
information
and had fun pretending.
Good Luck & have FUN!

year 5 will be out in november of this year, along with the movie.
they are
probably thinking about the 2 small paperback books which she wrote under
psuedeonymns, i believe one is called "Magical Beasts and Where to find
them" by Newt Scamander, i've not gotten far but it's a very cute book
and
is suppose to be a copy of harry's textbook of the same name. the
other
book, under a different psudeonym(?) is Quidditch through the years. these
books are rather cheap and proceeds go to children's charities. hope this
helps and the tenative title for year 5 is the order of the phoenix.

We also want to do a separate summer reading club and activities for teens =
this summer. We currently have a small book discussion group that
meets =
once a month, so at our last meeting I asked them to tell me what they =
wanted. Here is what they wanted:
1. a reading sheet that lets them pick from a number of different things =
to read such as magazines, award winners, cereal boxes, newspapers
paper =
backs, non-fiction, humor books, graphic novels etc. We agreed to list
=
about 30-35 items and let them choose 20-25 to do=20
2. a banana split party as their prize for reading
3. a drama club where they can put on a show
4. a craft time just for teens with "cooler" type crafts.=20
5. a tutoring program that lets them work with young kids and read to them
6. volunteering at the library
7 a lock-in party to spend the night in the library
8. a puppet group to learn how to use puppets and put on a show.
I don't know how many of these we will try to do. I know we can't do
all =
of them, but I thought they had some good ideas.

I know this sounds off topic, but bear with me...
For an upcoming program about Spot (Eric Hill), we are usibg a refrigerator
carton to make Spot's house. The children won't actually go into the
box,
but they'll be able to open "doors", shutters, etc. to see Spot
and his
friends - sort of like the Spot lift-the-flap books.
Anyway - to get to the point! - we want to have a "doorbell"
which, when
pressed, would sound like a dog barking. I know such a thing exists,
because I've seen stuffed animals that bark when you squeeze their
tummies... Michael's has little music boxes that you put inside dolls
and
stuffed animals - but no voice boxes... Does anybody have ANY ideas
where
we could find a barking dog voce box?? Please reply directly to me at
baileys120@hotmail.com. In
the meantime, I'll keep trying Internet (no luck
so far).
Thanks in advance!

Dear Pubyac-
My library is looking for a device that would require coins or a copycard to
allow a patrons to use computer printers. Does anything like this
exist??
Any recommendations would be appreciated.

We also had problems giving out tickets. We either had a lot of
no-shows, or if we gave out a few over capacity in anticipation of
no-shows, then everybody would show up.
We now take a few minutes and number the tickets, which are simply a
voucher run off on the computer, and when we give them out, we take the
name of the person who takes them. Then if the tickets are not turned
in at the show, you know who has been hoarding. This works well for
us,
as we get phone calls from folks who decide not to come and we can let
in extras on the day of the show. Nobody wants their name in the
infamous (but non-existent) book of no-shows!

You should be able to find a humongous amount of information if you search
Anime
or Japanese Anime in the internet and its increasing demand and usage in
major
city libraries. Anime starts with titles/games, etc. geared to
children and
"graphically" matures to adult interest. Public Libraries,
in general, may
be
buying anime-related materials for their young adult users. I have
noticed
more
activity in the internet, even at major bookstores who offer more in the way
of
anime than ever before.

I'd be very interested in answers to this as well. I am on a Graphic

To quote the Judy, the puppet guru of east Tennessee, "put a stick on
it and
call it a puppet". At a summer reading workshop recently we were
advised to
use posters (laminated and/or mounted on foam board with a paint stirrer on
the back) She also showed us some great stuffed animals on long dowel rods
and some with a slit for inserting a tube sock for the hand .The Goodwill
and Salvation Army stores here are major sources of such "puppets"
for our
library ---- at 25 cents each! Good luck!

What about decorating paper gingerbread man cookies? With glue sticks,

precut shapes, it shouldn't be too difficult for 3-5 year olds to do.

Our Circulation Department recently came up with a question regarding the
circulation of video and audio tapes: If a tape has previously
circulated
many times, it seems unfair to charge a patron who returns a broken tape,
since the breakage may have been caused by normal wear and tear. Do
any of
your libraries have a policy stating that, if a tape has circulated a
certain number of times, a patron will not be charged for damaging it?
If
so, what is the "magic number"?
Thanks in advance!

If you bother with the tickets, give them out the day of the program or a =
hour ahead of it.
>>> campbell_deborah@yahoo.com

Our library would like to ask your opinion regarding
program attendance. During the school year, are most
of your programs fully attended? We are currently
giving out tickets but we've discovered that anywhere
from 25-50% of the ticket holders fail to show up. We
always tell folks who can't get tickets to come anyway
because there are normally seats available. Does
anyone have experience giving out extra tickets? Say
your meeting room holds 100 and you give away 125
assuming 25 won't show up. Has this ever been a
problem?
And for those who don't give out tickets, how often do
you turn away people who wish to attend? We're trying
to decide whether to continue giving away tickets or
do away with them. Is the Fire Code to be taken
casually or literally? You know, what difference do 5
or 10 more little bodies make?! (BTW this isn't my
personal argument but one I hear from others at our
library.)
Thanks to the collective wisdom of this list.

I posted this a couple of months ago and didn't get a response, so I'm going
to ask one more time before I just go ahead and do it:
We have a website in Colorado for a statewide teen choice award. Each
year
a list of 20 books nominated by middle and high schoolers makes the final
cut. It would make the website look much more cool if we could list
the
titles along with the annotation AND the book covers. My question is,
do we
need to get copyright permission to include the covers? We're not
using the
website for profit at all, so I'm desperately hoping we can get away without
having to write to each publisher for permission.
Help! Does anyone else out there have a website that includes book
covers,
and if so, how do you handle this issue?
