are circulating extremely well. Our early childhood teachers are
checking =
them out. Our parents are checking them out also especially since most

Hi Anna - I read the article a few weeks ago and had some thoughts as well.
I don't think the awards limit the audience, but ethnicity requirements for
authors do limit and discount viable representations from people outside a
speicific minority group. For example, an Irish American who was raised in
Chinatown would most likely be able to write a more accurate representation
of life in that community than a Chinese woman who was raised in a solitary
town in northern Vermont. I don't think ethnicity should predetermine a
person's ability to portray or represent a culture.

This is a great age to read to. They are
non-judgmental, love to be read to & usually love to
share their thoughts which are usually totally
unrelated to your theme or anything you've asked them.
Plan more than you anticipate using & read your
stories (& practice your fingerplays, etc.) over &
over so that you get to know them & are comfortable
with them. If you do encourage them to talk to you in
between stories, you might want to remind them that
when you are reading, it is time for them to "zip
their lips (go through the motions with them), open
their eyes (so they can see the pictures) & open their
ears (so they can hear the story). Good luck!

Hello great collective!
I am considering a position with the Free Library of
Philadelphia and want to get the inside scoop about
the system. Any info/insights would be most
appreciated! Please reply to me offlist at
kidmarion@yahoo.com. Some
things I'm especially
curious about are :
1) Collection development--how centralized is it?
2) Best and worst branches?
3) Internet usage policies?
4) How strong are they about continuing
education/professional development (such as
conferences, workshops, and such)?
5) Some large systems (like NY Public) practice "apple
basket turnover" where they automatically transfer you
after one year; what about Philly?
6) Does the system use paraprofessionals or are staff
strictly professional or clerical?
7) Some large systems (like DC Public and Toledo-Lucas
County) are unionized; what about the Free Library?
8) What's the overall system moral like?
9) How responsive, creative, progressive do you find
the library's leadership?
10) What do you wish you had known before taking a job
in the system?
11) Anything else you can think of?
I would be moving a considerable distance to take a
position with the system and I want to make sure that
we would be a good match. Thanks in advance!
PLEASE REPLY DIRECTLY TO ME.

Hi All,
I want to thank everyone who shared their experiences with those protesting
Harry Potter Programs. I really appreciated the support. I
thought I
would let you know how everything turned out. After a week of complaints
and assorted nastygrams, the week of the program was quiet. No one
showed
up to voice a complaint at the city council meeting (we were really
worried) and the city administration decided to let the program procceed
and remained out of the picture. Three hours before the program we got
word that a prayer vigil was planned to take place in front of the library
along with a news crew. Well the program went off without incident.
The
kids had a great time (so did we). 24 people held a prayer vigil in
our
parking lot (no news crew). No one bothered our guests. All in
all not a
bad evening. Even the article that appeared in Sundays paper presented
a
fair and balanced account (for a change). Thanks again for all your
support and encouragement. Belinda

Afternoon!
I have looked through A to Zoo and our card catalog for a picture book about
a
grandfather (or other adult) who tells a boy (both of whom could be animals
instead of people) that he has a prsent for him throughout the day. Then at
the
end of the day, the child (human or animal) finds out the present was all

time and the things he got to do with the adult (or human or animal
grandfather). If this rings a bell for anyone, please give me a hollar. My
gratitude in advance.

Hi Betsy,
Here in the Carrollton Public Libraries, we take that paper box, place it
inside of a plastic box similar to the kinds you find at video stores and
display the videos on the shelves just like books. They also have
barcodes
and spine labels. The nonfiction is separated from the fiction and the
juvenile titles from the adult titles. This process works quite well.
Unfortunately the person who orders the plastic video cases, and there are
several different kinds, is out sick today so I can't give you that
information. I can only surmise that you could purchase them
from someone
like Demco, Highsmith, or even an office supplier you may use already.
We
buy in bulk because maintenance is all important just as with any other
library item. As far as loss, I honesty cannot say. You will
have your
unscrupulous customers but for the most part customers are very vigilant
about returning the videos because the fines are steeper than the books
&
the check out period is much shorter (7 days) than books. I hope this
helps. We do not keep our videos behind our check out desk because we
have
no room except to display customer holds.
Good luck in your final decision!

neat!" and
let it go at that. My director and I were talking the other day and he wants
us to have one, so guess what!!! I need those instructions. Someone posted a
website the other day that sells these types of stages, but they want close
to $200.00 and I am sure we can build one cheaper than that. So, if
you
have information, please reply directly to me at barbaracott@hotmail.com
Thanks a lot!

Fellow pubyacers,
Our department just received a request to locate a book for which we have
no title. All the patron remembers is that there are children who dream of
things (occupations?) and when they grow up they have a career that makes
their dream come true. Example might be, I dreamed I could heal. Turn page
and the child grows up to be a doctor. The patron
thought the title was "I dreamed I could fly" or something similar
to
that. She also thought it was a newer book, say the last 5 years. Does
this ring any bells for anyone? We have looked in A to Zoo, our library
catalogue, and books in print.
Please respond directly to me - cphipps@libby.rbls.lib.il.us
Thank you so much.

Many thanks to Susan Anderson-Newham, who looked through her own books
at home and found a story about Grandpa Bunnybunny in The Wonderful
Worlds of Disney, ca. 1965. The patron thinks this is the story she
remembers and was thrilled with the information and the service.
Thanks
to Susan and PUBYAC for making us look good!
