Hi Pubyaccers!
It was a long shot but noone could provide the details for a book described
as a children's story explaining the dewey decimal classification system.
The story included an older couple arranging their library collection and
was published in the 1960s or 1970s.
Thanks for thinking about it!

A fifth grade teacher asked recently for some bibliotherapeutic books
about having trouble making friends, feeling socially isolated, possibly
being teased or bullied. She was interested in books for both boys and
girls, at about a 5th grade level--primarily non-fiction.
Can anyone recommend appropriate books for her? I gave her some

contains 80 paperback

The service is VERY MUCH appreciated. At present we are serving about

Subject: Outreach kits
Greetings,
As part of my responsibilities as a children's librarian, I make monthly
visits to a neighborhood center to do what amounts to a storytime.
Fine as
far as it goes, but I want to devise a method of leaving library materials
at the center for the children to use there or take home--whichever the
center's honchos prefer. (The centers are physically removed from the
library, and lots of the children there never have a chance to visit us.)
So far, the best way for us to do this seems to involve making
"outreach
kits", which we envision as being big book bags w/ the library's logo
on
them, filled with a neat selection of books. What we would do is
assign
the neighborhood center a card and check the whole shebang out to the
center, rather than to individual kids. How the center tracks who's
got
what is up to its leadership.
I am interested in hearing any ideas you have with regard to the
concept,
but what I REALLY need is feedback from someone who has done something
similar. Here are a few questions: Do book bags, big canvas
ones, work as
containers for the kits, or would something else work better? Have you
had
problems with all items being returned with the kits? (We're not worried
about the odd book finding its way into some child's home, but it could be
a problem if it happened to most of the books, most of the time.) How
often did you refresh your kits with new titles? How many books did
you
include in each kit? Is there anything I should be worried about that
I
haven't thought of yet??
Please respond offlist, and I'll summarize as appropriate for the group.
Regards,
Lani Clarke

Hello fellow PubYaccers!
I was wondering if I could hear from you spread across the U.S. as to when
your students first do a unit on their home state. Here in California,
California history is done in the fourth grade. Is that pretty
standard?
Also, when do students in different states do their first state report?
I
recall fourth grade for the thirteen colonies, then any state we wanted in
the fifth grade, but that may have changed.
It is for a book review, and I want to note if this book would be useful
across the U.S. for the study of each state. Thanks so much for your
input,
it is really appreciated!

I do not know where you can find a dog voice box specifically, but I have an
alternate idea. Cheap picture frames are available that will record
any
sound or message. The recording is heard when a button on a frame is
pressed. One could be rigged as a doorbell. The recording could also be
changed for other programs, if needed. I have seen these items at
retail

We, too, were going to put things on our website.
You have to ask.
We found if you contact the marketing department, they are more likely to
respond.
Also, we wrote the letter in such a way as a no answer would mean a yes, and
gave them a month to respond.
You can ask for blanket permission for a publishers house. It would
probably help to estimate the number of titles that would be on your website
at a time.

We just started doing something similar here in Dayton OH with new books
lists on our website. We use the ones from amazon.com which they allow as
long as you acknowledge where they came from. You can check out our website
at www.dayton.lib.oh.us.
Our director emailed Amazon and received permission to use the covers. I
think they grant that pretty readily as long as you agree to acknowledge
where you got them.
Click on the Kids button, then Fun and Games, then New Kids books. The
acknowledgement is at the bottom of that page.

I used to work in book publishing and I think book
jackets are copyrighted and protected from duplication
in the same way as text and internal illustrations
are, so I think you need to ask permission from
publishers to use their jacket art. If publishers know
the art will be used for nonprofit purposes, they
might give you a break. I never worked in Subsidiary
Rights, so I don't know for sure. But if you e-mail
the woman who created the site referenced below, she
might be able to give you more pertinent information.
I sent her an e-mail once and found her quite
responsive. Good luck!

I would email the marketing department for permission, NOT the permissions

Seems to me you really need to contact the publishers of the books that have
been selected. I understand that you are asking if anyone on the list
has
done it, but even that is no guarantee that it is legal.
If it turns out that you can't use the covers, why don't you have a YA
program where the kids come up with another visual for each book. It
could
be a drawing or photograph of a collection of objects that relate to
the book.

I am presently in library school and a class I am taking is helping to
redesign a web page for a children's book awards web page. In answer
to
your question, the organization that will be using this site has had to get
permission to use any photos we put on the webpage and we must include on
each page a notice that includes the copyright notice for the author, the
jacket design and a statement saying we have the publisher's permission to
use them.
Sorry, it may not all be necessary but it will save a lot of stress and
trouble down the road.

In a discussion on this topic a year or two ago, it was generally agreed
that you had to ask for permission to post book covers. If you ask the
legal department of the publisher, they are inclined to say no, if you ask
the publicity dept, they are likely to say yes!
I know that someone asked Scholastic for permission to post the Harry Potter
covers on their library website and were refused.
I agree that it seems unlikely that anyone could possibly complain, but if
you want to play it safe.....

I am planning to have a tea party for my 4 year old granddaughter and
3 or 4 of her friends. Her mother and I are looking for some sort of
activity for the girls, hopefully but not necessarily, relating to
the idea of tea party or a party in general. The girls will be
dressed up - after all it isn't everyday you go to high tea - so we
need something that isn't too messy. I already know about books with
tea party recipes or books to read to them - it's just an activity
that I'm looking for. This is a personal request -I'm a retired
children's librarian and figure if anyone has any ideas, it'll be you
guys.
Thanks.

Yes, that will be the title. You can order advanced copies on Amazon and
some other places.

Howdy Folks!
Has anyone ever formed a youth advisory group for young adult materials?

I seem to recall seeing this on Amazon, it struck my funny bone as the
page count was listed as 10000! And I thought #4 was long!

I heard roundabout that Harry Potter #5 is Harry Potter and the Order of the
Phoenix.
Has anyone heard this elsewhere?

I have to say I do this case by case. With children's films, I might
have a
tendency to look at a lower number of circulations, since 1 circ can equal 5
- 10 viewings with some children. But the numbers have to be pretty
high
otherwise, or the tape has to be getting old. It's not a very
consistant
policy, but picking an arbitrary number wouldn't take into account the high
use that children's titles get as opposed to adult titles. We have
copies
of "Annie" and "Dumbo" that have over 200 circulations.
If someone returns
one all mangled, I'm going to let it go. But a patron who returns a
tape
that has gone out only 1 or 2 times, and brings it back mangled, they get to
pay for it.

I am supposed to go to a middle school in a couple of
weeks to talk to the 6th graders about why they need a
library card. Does anyone have a list of good reasons
that a sixth grader can relate to? I can think of a
few but I would love some more creative ideas.

Sarah,
At our library for the past couple of years and including this year we
have hit up some of the neighboring businesses for prizes. We have
some
small prizes, books, bookmarks, food coupons, savings bonds, etc... Then
we have a drawing for the grand prize which is usually a $75 gift
certificate to Wal-Mart or Target, a general items kind of store. The
teens really like this, that way they can buy some stuff for school.
Hope this helps!
