Dear PubYac-
Thanks to those who gave me your favorite themes for summer programs.
I'm settled on The Ocean/Sea/Beach theme. I'm looking for
entertainers/educational programs to have during the summer, particularly
for my opening and closing parties. I'm having a hard time finding
people
that do shows on this theme. I've had the NY Aquarium come to do shows
in
the past, but I'm looking for more.
Ideas? If you could include a phone number or web site with your
suggestions, that would be great. Thanks so much!
Elaine

I know I've seen this before, but I've lost all of my records. This

We have over 1000 kids ages 3-10 sign up for our reading club each summer. =

permission =

teens collated and stapled them. After 12 hrs. each child gets a free

paperback book. We order the special priced collections from
Scholastic. =
Every 2 hrs. past the first 12, the kids get to pick a little trinket =
prize or a coupon.
Hope this helps.

Hi everyone,
Help! I'm running my first SRP and I need to tap into your wisdom. I'm
offering incentive prizes based on number of minutes spent reading. =
But...I
have no idea what kind of reading goals to set for the kids. By the end of
the summer,what do you find is the average amount of reading time logged =
per
child? I want to set a reading goal for the entire group to achieve
collectively and I need to figure out what a reasonable, yet challenging
goal might be for 50 kids, ages 3-10. Any advice would be greatly
appreciated!

Wanda, I agree with Tina. Go with books that you love.
Plan out in advance what you are going to read & what
other activities (fingerplays, nursery rhymes, games,
songs, etc.) you are going to do & in what order. Jot
notes for yourself & take them in with you. Read
slowly & with feeling. Try to hold the book low enough
so that you are not hidden behind it. Try to look at
the kids as you read if possible & make sure to keep
moving the book around to show them the pictures.
Don't worry; kids aren't judgmental-you'll be fine.

We go on the premise that the kids should be reading or listening to books
one half hour each day, five days a week for the SRP. Knowing that
this
will not always be achieved, we give a prize for every five days that the
child DOES read/listen, even if spread over a couple of weeks. We are
just
trying to encourage the frequency, not the total amount, thus we don't count
anything past the half hour per day.

We switched from Ingram to Brodart and are now with Baker & Taylor.
Ingram wanted to charge us (perhaps $700? - not sure of exact figure)
for the software to order via computer. The other two companies gave
it
to us.
We now have an online account with B & T which requires setting up an
account and getting passwords. You need two accounts if you also do
videos. You can search for the edition you want, and if you follow
through for more details on a title, it shows whether it is available,
out of stock, or whatever, and how many copies are in the warehouse.
Our orders sometimes get here the next day, with very few orders.
There was a problem last year when we discovered that they were charging
shipping on materials when the state contract called for free shipping,
but that was corrected and a refund issued.
I prefer B & T because they carry the library bindings, while Ingram
seems to cater to bookstores and rejected my orders for that edition.
B&T also is cheaper for us than Brodart.
We are a small library with a book budget of roughly $35,000 for the
whole library.

Friends:
I have been given a little over $300 in memorial funds for picture books.
The widow wants the money spend on books with beautiful pictures and she
prefers English artists.
I have never had a request like this and could really use some help. Do you
have any English illustrators of picture books you could pass along.
Thanks,

Hi all,
This is for a fellow librarian. She is trying to remember the title of
a
story
about a boy whose mother leaves him at a rest stop, possibly with his dog.
She
thinks the boys name is part of the title. Any help would be
appreciated.
TIA,

Thanks everyone, for all the great suggestions of classic titles for 2nd and
3rd graders. We have many of the suggested titles in our regular
JFiction
collection, as opposed to our J Easy, or our J-3 Grade level
collections--maybe I should re-evaluate the placement of some of these older
titles. I will compile the responses that I received (and am
still
receiving), and I will post it on the list!
Thanks again.

dear colleagues in Library Land - a patron remembers a
book from her childhood - it would have been in the
60's - in which a boy seemed to have troubble in
school or have difficulty writing. He obtained a magic
pencil, which worked wonders, but he kept worrying
about its size diminishing each time he sharpened it.
It sounds vaguely like it might have been a stumper
before. If you can help, thank you sincerely. Please

Hi, all - the Listproc will be offline for approximately 24 hours from
sometime
in the morning of Wednesday May 16, until sometime Thursday morning while
Prairienet servers are being moved to a new location.
Incoming mail will be queued and handled in the order
received once the system is back up. However, you may still see
messages
arriving out of sequence for the next 3-5 days.
Thanks for you patience!
