Speaking as a stamper, I can tell you that this issue keeps being
revisited in the stamping magazines. It is definitely not okay to
photocopy an image from a stamp catalog and reuse it--the stamp images are
copyrighted. Whether it's ok to buy a stamp, stamp the image, and then
photocopy it depends upon the company. Some do not want their stamp
images reproduced mechanically for any reason whatsoever; others don't
care if it's reproduced mechanically as long as it's not for sale. The
stamp companies do need to make a profit to stay in business.

Janette,
We tried interfiling our older juvie nonfiction in one branch when it first
opened. We designated them jA in the catalog and on the spine.
While some of the adults in the community liked it, most of the staff and
many adults didn't. First, it brought a lot of children into the adult
shelves which bothered some adults. Second those children who read
above
their grade level (we broke it around 4th grade) had to look in two places
for the materials. I wasn't working at that branch, so I can't tell
you how
the children liked it.
We changed the collection back to the juvie side after a few years of trying
it.

Hi, Janette,
We shelve our J non-fiction separately, with the adult and YA nonfiction
together. I have a whole separate room for the Children's materials,
though. We have a medium sized library and serve a population of just
over
30, 000.
I worked in the East Syracuse Free Library for 8 years, and they always
interfiled all of the non-fiction together. It is a small library,
serving
about 3,000.
Both systems work very well for the individual libraries, and neither would
do well to switch.
Hope this helps.

Hi, Oh Great Brain!
I am in desperate need of help! The theme for our summer reading
program this year is pirates/treasure, and I have been trying to find
SRP manuals from past programs, with no luck. The only ones available
are through our local library service center, and they have all been
checked out for who knows how long! (My fault, really - I am way
behind
schedule...)
I would be eternally grateful if anyone out there could send me
reproducibles on this theme - I'll even pay you for your troubles! I
may even name my first-born after you, provided your name isn't too
weird ;-) ....
If you can help me at all, please please please contact me.
Thanks!
Pathetically yours,

I read the book and write up fourteen questions for discussion. I cut
them,
so
that one question is on each slip of paper and then put them into a basket.
The
basket is passed around the group and the person that reads the question
starts
the discussion of that question. It works well to get everyone's
participation
and to jumpstart the dialogue.
Titles I have used include:
The Ghost of Fossil Glen by Cynthia DeFelice
Eleanor Roosevelt: A Life of Discovery by Russell Freedman
Falcon's Egg by Luli Gray
A Time Apart by Diane Stanley
Homecoming by Cynthia Voigt
Because of Winn Dixie by Kate Decamille
Landry News by Andrew DeClements

Our library is needing to develop a vision/mission statement for
children/young adult programming. If any of you have already developed
such a statement and would like to share, that would be wonderful.
Thanks in advance! (this message is being cross posted)

I am looking over our YA circulation statistics for March and over 1/3 of
the
circulation was nonfiction. From the amount of books left out in the
nonfiction area everyday, I would say even more are being read by browsers.
I
think it is well worth the space to make a separate YA nonfiction area.

To all--
I have heard so far from 16 people, all of whom recognized the
"picture book with smushed fairies on the page" as LADY
COTTINGTON'S PRESSED FAIRY BOOK by Terry Jones, with
illustrations by Brian Froud. It is apparently quite funny and quite
adult in nature (so I don't feel TOO bad for having no clue).
So thanks a million for all your help!

Help!
One of my fellow co-workers is looking for a book she remembers from
childhood, the mid to late 70's. She thinks the word unicorn is in the
title, but isn't sure. She thinks the story is a basic good vs. evil
story, remembers a serpant possibly trying to hurt or kill the
unicorn. There are no people in the story that she remembers. We've tried
several other sources. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Everyone,
A co-worker received a phone call from one of our customers (a retired
children's librarian) who is looking for the lyrics of a children's
song/round which contains the phrase: "this is the way we wash our
clothes"
(He suspects that is not the title of song). Our customer added that this
song/round covers the days of the week with this theme.
So far, he searched through our juvenile song books, and found a children's
song similiar to the our customer is searching for entitled "Hanging
Out the
Linen Clothes" (Source: American Folk Songs for Children by Ruth
Crawford
Seeger, p.137). He asked the customer if this was the song she wanted, and
she said no.
He also recommended "The Mulberry Bush" or "Here We Go 'Round
the Mulberry
Bush"; however, the customer said that that was also not the song.
I am emailing on his behalf for clues or leads in searching this song.
Your assistance is much appreciated.
If you have any clues, please email adrian.barrientos@ci.sj.ca.us
Many thanks!
