Richard Peck is still alive because he is doing a workshop at Simmons
College this summer. I think it is Robert Cormier who passed away
recently.

How about this one?
It is to the tune of "If you're Happy and You Know It."
If the trees never sneeze, bend your knees. (2 times)
If the trees never sneeze, blow a breeze and bend your knees.
(Repeat first line.)
If you think this song is silly, well it is.
If you think this is silly, move your shoulders willy-nilly.
If the trees are way up high, wave good-bye.
If the trees are way up high, blow a kiss and wave good-bye.

I close my toddler programs with "If you're happy and you know it"
with
these modifications: If you had a good time and know it stomp your feet; if
youu're coming back next week shout hooray; if you love the library do all
three. Then we do the "Goodbye wave" found in "Family
Storytime" by Rob
Reid: Wave high, wave low, now it's time we've got to go. Wave your elbows
wave your toes, wave your tongue and wave your nose. Wave your knees, wave
your lips, blow a kiss with fingertips. Wave your ears, wave your hair, wave
your belly & derierre. Wave your chin, wave your eye, wave your hand and
say
goodbye! The kids love both of these and are so adorable doing them. Hope it
helps.

Hi Sandy-
I use a song from Diaper Gym called "Blow Me a Kiss" for my lapsit
goodbye
song. It's a treat to see all those little ones (my group is mostly
12-23
months) learning how to blow kisses. Check it out. Diaper Gym is
available in record, compact disc and cassette. Although it is a 1985
recording, it can still be purchased through Kimbo Educational (maybe
others, but I know for sure Kimbo Educational).

I think I got this from Kathy Chain on Pub-Yac some time ago. It works very
well. (Thanks Kathy!)
At the beginning we sing these words to the tune of "Twinkle,
Twinkle":
Hands go up and hands go down
I can turn around and round
I can jump upon two shoes
I can listen and so can you
I can sit, I'll show you how
Storytime is starting now
At the end we sing:
Hands go up and hands go down
I can turn around and round
I can jump upon two shoes
I can clap and so can you
I can wave, I'll show you how
Storytime is done for now
I think the motions are self-evident.

Hello all,
Thanks to Maggi Rohde for the compilation on whether libraries interfile
their YA nonfic with the J nonfic (JNF) or Adult nonfic. Now a somewhat
related question.My library director is considering moving our JNF
upstairs
to interfile it with the adult and Y nonfic which is already interfiled. We
serve a population of over 60,000. We have doubled our population in just a
few years and the library is struggling to keep up with growth.
We have never had a separate children's reference section. We have been in a
new building for about a year and a half. Our children's area (which has
served children up to 6th/7th grade)is downstairs with a child-like carpet.
We have our easy non-fiction and our JNF separated already. Our director
posted on PUBLIB and asked about children's reference and JNF, and got one
response that a library had interfiled their JNF with YA and adult
non-fiction and were very happy with it. (I don't know what other responses
she received.)
Our director's reasoning is that it is easier and more staff efficient to
have all reference centralized and if that is done, then it makes more sense
to keep all the nonfiction together rather than sending kids up and down
stairs. She thought we could keep more recreational materials downstairs,
and homework and reference type materials upstairs. The children's area also
looks a little more "childlike" than we expected.
My first reaction is I don't think it should be separated, but I do see her
points. Would you please tell me how you serve the upper el and junior high
level as to reference and the JNF collection?
Where do you shelve JNF:
J nonfic in separate section:
J nonfic interfiled with adult or YA:
J nonfic interfiled, but with an identifying sticker or just by call number:
J nonfic interfiled, with new books on display
Some interfiled, some in separate section:
Any comments on pros and cons?

You know, someone might want to suggest the Lord of the Ring people (Peter
Jackson and crew) take the same direction as the Harry Potter people and
develop a website of suggestions for schools and libraries to use.
Didn't
this list get a lot of messages about where to get the lightning tattoos and
what sort of activities to hold and games to play. We are looking at a
young adult market rather than children's services, I suppose, although the
movie will be PG13.
I'm interested in any suggestions made privately to Courtney, the originator
of this thread.

"MAKE READING A HOBBIT" IS THE THEME FOR TEEN READ WEEK 2001
"Make Reading A Hobbit," the theme for Teen Read Week 2001,
celebrates the =
popularity of fantasy literature with teens, and suggests connecting the =
word "hobbit" with the word "habit" to underscore the
need for teens to =
develop a reading habit. This year's dates for the celebration are =
October 14-20.
Now in its fourth year, Teen Read Week is a national literacy initiative =
of the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA), a division of the =
American Library Association (ALA). Its partners include: American =
Association of School Administrators, American Booksellers Association, =
National Association of Secondary School Principals, National Council of =
Teachers of English, National Education Association, Speak Up Press, =
International Reading Association, and TeenInk.
The number of schools, public libraries and bookstores that celebrate Teen =
Read Week has grown, and their programs and activities have helped to =
spread the message that teens need to "Read for the Fun of It."
The =
message is still an urgent one. The latest reading test scores from
the =
National Assessment for Educational Progress indicate reading scores have =
made no significant statistical gains since the 1970's. They also
report =
that a smaller percentage of 13- and 17-year olds reads for fun daily in =
1999 than in 1971. In addition, the number of different types of reading =
materials available in homes has decreased, and a smaller percentage of =
17-year-olds saw adults reading in their homes during the same time =
period. Clearly, adults as well as teenagers need to develop the habit
of =
reading.
The Teen Read Week web site, www.ala.org/teenread,
has been completely =
redesigned for those who are planning Teen Read Week activities. The =
information allows you to go the "hobbit" route or the
"habit" route, or =
both. Along with sample press releases and public service
announcements =
you will find lists of recommended fantasy books, the "Seven Habits of
=
Highly Effective Teen Readers," new sources of information about books
and =
reading, and program ideas by state from across the country. A
registratio=
n and feedback form for reporting this year's activities is available for =
librarians and teachers. There is also a special section just
for teens =
with lists of books they will enjoy and a form for voting for the "best
=
book read in 2001." =20

will be =
observed this year from October 14 to October 20. Seventeen is a corporate =

Libraries on their own or in cooperation with other youth serving =

and to recruit teens to participate in their local libraries.
Seventeen =
wil also be promoting the event in their magazine and on their web site.
Libraries who wish to participate must register on the Teen Read Week web =
site (www.ala.org/teenread) by
September 20, 2001. Although the number of =
participants is unlimited, the first forty registrants will receive a =
"surprise package" of books from Seventeen. Copies of the new
edition of =
The Read-Aloud Handbook by Jim Trelease, donated by Penguin Putnam Inc, =
will be included.=20
Librarians are encouraged to plan a read aloud activity on October 20, =
preferably during story hours. They are also encouraged to provide at
=
least one training session prior to the event for the teens who volunteer =
to read aloud, to talk about techniques and select books to read.
After =
the event is over, librarians are asked to provide photos, videos, and =
samples of promotional materials to ALA/YALSA and Seventeen for publicity =
and promotion purposes. They will also be asked to fill out an
evaluation =

Hello:
A patron is looking for a book about a rag doll named Althea. She was
born during the 40's and named after the rag doll.
Here's the history: The U.S. Postal Service had a Classic American Dolls
Series 1905-1907. "Babyland Rag" (Althea) was one of the
dolls.
Any ideas about the book?
Thank you!
