Subject: Conflict Resolution Reading and Art Program
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain
Date: Tue, 17 Apr 2001 10:11:53 CDT
Hello all-
I am developing a six-week program with the Boys and Girls Club of Dallas.
The theme is conflict resolution. The ages of the youth are 10-17.
I am
needing help with books, poems, short stories, and art resources that
address violence, peace, and conflict resolution. I am planning
to meet
once per week for 2 hours ending by six weeks.
Here is a break down of my objectives and questions:
1. Violence: After reading and discussing materials the children
will
understand the impact of violence on children in the U.S. and abroad (i.e.
terrorism, bullying, child neglect, and maybe others). What are some poems
or books that deeply and honestly reflect children's sense of loss and pain
caused by siblings, friends, or society?
2. Peace: After reading and discussing materials, the children
will
understand and represent peaceful conflict resolution in drawings, writings,
or puppetry . And through conversation, journaling, and role
play the
children will understand how to reduce personal conflicts. What
are some
great books or resources that will work with this group? What are some
titles or web sources that depict young children with resilience?
3. Memorials: After reading and discussing materials the
children will
view art and poetry as a non-violent alternative to violence. The
children
will also create their own representations.
I have chronological resources on the school shootings, but I would like to
broaden the possible interests of the children. For instance, what are
some
great art resources that may help chidlren understand how we memorialize
death and destruction (I plan to use the Guernica, the local police
memorial, but what about any others) ?
Thanks so very much,
Patrick Baker

I am looking for feedback from anyone in a multi-branch system who has
experience, pro or con, with floating library collections. For those of you
who
don't know (and I didn't until the idea was proposed here recently) ,
library
materials circulate and end up at whatever branch they are returned. They
are
shelved wherever they might be, not sent back to their "mother"
branch.
Please
respond to me directly.

Nancy (a.k.a. "N.K.") Stouffer of the LEGEND OF RAH AND THE
MUGGLES
maintains that she invented the word Muggles, and trademarked it based on
that assertion. Take a look at this site for evidence that belies
Stauffer's claim that she invented the word:
http://www.geocities.com/harrypotterfans/muggles.html
Here is also a CNN article on the lawsuit:
http://www.cnn.com/2000/LAW/07/transcripts/caseystouffer.potterbooks.07.05/
Regarding the copyright filed by Rowling or publisher that states Rowling
is a U.S. citizen, I found a copy of the copyright online one day last
week, but when I looked for it again the next day, I was unable to locate
it. (Perhaps Stouffer's lawyers asked for it to be removed?)

I too received a call from this man. I basically ignored it because
our magazines circulate and the chances of this still being in the
magazine are slim. Also, I don't believe our policy would allow the
selling of the materials anyway.

Our Theme is also "Reading Road Trip USA" and I am also looking
for some
postcards. I would love to have a senic postcard with a message from a
librarian to share during each of our programs. Each week we will be
"visiting" a different region of the US and it would make it more

If you sell your Tiger Woods card for $100, you're getting ripped off.
They're
worth up to *twelve thousand* dollars now. Savvy collectors have
realized
that
many libraries have these cards in their magazine collections and are doing
whatever they can to get their hands on them. We got a request from a man
who
wanted them for his "sick grandson."
You can find more info on the cards at about.com, sports cards area - the
exact

Kerry,
I have a teen book group-6th throught 12th grade. They read from the
"Best Books" nominees and sometimes those are biography. If
it is a
topic they are interested in, then they often like the book. I read
Peg
Kehret's "Small Steps: the Year I Got Polio" and really
liked it. It
would be great for that age group. She begins with being at school,
singing in the choir and all of a sudden unable to walk.

Hi Darlene,
Our library was contacted as well, but I was never told the name of the
man looking for them. I just forwarded this e-mail to our public
services coordinator who talked to him originally. We do not keep
magazines for more than one year, but we checked the '99 issue which we
did still have and found no cards. How bizarre...

Actually, muggles is in the dictionary. It is a slang word, but I don't
think Rowling or the other lady made it up! I looked for this when I first
heard about her plagarism claim 6 months or so ago to get an idea of my

We have relayed all the answers to our patron -- and it seems the top
