All,
I need your collective minds. A customer had a book
that she thought was called River Bottom School, but
after searching that title and many combinations of it,
no success was found. She remembered that it had catchy
phrases like "Time to scoot, Newt," "Hit the road, Toad"
and that most of the text was done in this fashion.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Please respond directly to me.

Good afternoon everyone,
I've gotten a request to plan an "Outer Space" storytime theme for

Attention ALSC Members!
Volunteers are needed to staff ALSC's booth at the ALA Annual Conference in
San Francisco. Booth volunteers donate one hour of their time during
the
conference to promote ALSC to other library professionals. Staffing
the
booth is a great way to contribute to ALSC, meet other ALSC members, and
learn more about this dynamic ALA division.
Booth duties are easy and fun! You'll help by distributing promotional
materials, cultivating increased awareness of ALSC and its goals, and
encouraging ALSC members to volunteer for one of our many administrative
and awards committees. Lots of children's service professionals belong
to
ALSC but aren't sure how to get involved and make the most of their
membership. This is a wonderful way to begin!
Please contact Catherine Quattlebaum at
quattlec@mail.dekalb.public.lib.ga.us

Thank you.

for young adults as well. I'm really into books, programming and
