I've never heard of this phenomenon before. Where have animals, maybe
other than fish or turtles, lived in a public library before? I've
heard
of small animals living in grade school classrooms as well. Wouldn't
this
cause problems, for people who are allergic to cats that come into the
library?

We had a library cat for five years. The staff loved her but not her litter
box. The vast majority of our patrons loved her as well but... there were a
few with allergies who felt that her presence prevented them from using the
library and our director said she had to go. Fortunately one of our pages
provided her with a good home with someone she knew. I noticed after she
left that while our patrons missed her she didn't seem to miss them. She was
the subject of alot of attention from kids and adults when she lived with us
and I believe it made her a wee bit grouchy. She never seriously scratched
anyone but she made it clear she didn't want to be bothered by some threee
year olds. You should keep in mind that a parent will go ballistic if you
have a "dangerous" animal in the library (rather than using the
opportunity
to point out why you shouldn't pull a cats tail), she calmed down
considerably after she moved and is quite well adjusted.
I'd really think about the cost- food, vet, supplies: will the staff
provide, donations?- risk- allergies and scratches- fleas- what if he/she
scratches the furniture. I love LC and I miss her daily but there's a lot
involved with having a fur bearing animal in the library.

Cathie:
I do not want to be a grinch about the "library cat". They
sure are cute
and lots of people adore them. But, what about your staff and patrons
with
cat allergies? As a sufferer, I cannot even be in the same room with a
cat
for more than 10 or 15 minutes without tearing up, having to remove my
contact lenses, dripping and sneezing. It is sheer misery!
My sister has 2 cats who are regarded as her children! She will never
part
with them and they are members of the extended family. But, I cannot be in
her house for more than about 20 minutes. At least we have the option
to go
out and do something outside of the house when I visit with her. I
cannot
imagine having to spend 8 hours+ per day with a cat at work!
It is a shame...because I think highly of cats. But, I could never
co-exist
with one.

Cathie, I, too, would love to do something like this. However, a town near
my hometown had an unfortunate situation where a person (either ailurophope
or severely allergic or both)objected to the cat and either sued or
threatened to sue the library. This was in Woodbury, CT, in the late
eighties or early 90s. The cat had been adopted by the staff years before
and was much loved by most of the staff and patrons. I don't remember how
this issue resolved itself, but it made me aware that keeping a pet in a
public place could be problematic. Allergies seem to be more common than
they once were (and some are now life-threatening); in addition, people are
less tolerant of each other and less willing to compromise. I do wish you
luck - cats and books go very well together, in my mind.

Hi Rosemary,
I would suggest trying to find some local authors for whom travel expenses
are not such a big issue. I'm not sure exactly where you are in NY, but
there are a lot of authors and illustrators who live around the city as
well as upstate. Some authors may also be willing to negotiate their fee
with you depending on what you want of them for a program, or if your
library is especially limited financially. I've the authors I've worked
with to be extremely flexible and generous in that respect.

At the library I used to work at we used the 3M strips
that are made for CDs. They work fine on DVDs if you
use this security system. However, I remember there
was some problem concerning double-sided DVDs (most
are only 1-sided but depending on the length of the
movie and how many extra features there are some are
2-sided.) At the time (about a year ago) 3M was
working on a security strip that would be compatible
but I don't know if they've done it yet.

The library I used to work in had "library cats" for a
long time. But a patron complained--I don't remember
why...it was either allergies or her kids were afraid
of the cat--and the cats had to find a new home.
If you do get a cat I wouldn't get a kitten because
you will want one that is already socialized and gets
along well with people--especially lots of people,
including small children. If you get a kitten you
can't predict how it's personality will blend with
your patrons.
We have toyed with the idea of getting a rat because
it would be caged. They are supposedly easy to care
for and very intelligent. The only problem is we can't
decide on a name: Templeton or Nicodemus?

We had two cats in our library, and everyone loved them. As the
children's
librarian, I took on the responsiblity of caring for the cats.
But one day the Call 6 For Help camera crew showed up to
do a story on a
man who had allergies so bad that he might die if he came into the library.
Of course, it was his wife who was pursuing this, and the man didn't have an
allergist (they interviewed the cameraman's), and these people didn't bother
to come to us about the problem before they went to the TV station,
but
after some intense board meetings and negotiations, the cats went to live
with the reference librarian.
The family has never been in the library yet. This
whole episode caused
bad feelings among the community...kids cried, adults grumbled about
"one
person spoiling things for everybody," and I would very much recommend
NOT
getting a cat.
Since this episode, I have even heard stories about
complaints over
hamsters, gerbils and guinea pigs. In my heart, I believe that the
library
is a GOOD place for a pet, teaching responsiblity, compassion, gentleness,
etc., but it can also lead to a lot of upset feelings. I cannot bring
myself to replace the cats with ANY sort of pet right now, but we've had
hamsters in the past, and maybe we will again, someday.

Victorian bookmarks are cool - You need contruction paper and ribbons and
pictures (about 1-1 1/2 in. diameter) cut out from magazines (flowers,
animals, etc.), or stickers. Tear two roundish, different color pieces of
contruction paper, 1 1/2 - 2 inches in diameter (edges should be rough).
Glue pictures in the center of one or both pieces of contruction paper. Cut
two pieces of ribbon (preferably different but corresponding colors or
patterns, etc.) 6 to 8 inches long. Sandwich the ribbons (or you could even
use just 1 ribbon) between the two pieces of contruction paper and let them
dangle down (one should be slighly shorter than the other).
Other idea - Just have cardstock with holes and ribbons, then let them
decorate with pictures cut out from magazines, stickers, glitter glue,
stamps, etc. It's not hard but they love it and each child's looks so
original. Good Luck! Melissa

Christina,
A quick way to do lots of kids, making lots of bookmarks is to put out a
selection of rubber stamps and then let them stamp pre-cut bookmark
sized tag-board strips--very easy. Also, for a smaller group try sandwiching
magazine cut-outs of silly pictures and words between booktape or precut
clear contact paper. Cover with a clear backing of tape or contact paper and
punch a hole at the top and thread a piece of yarn through the hole. Easy
for ages 6+. They can cut up old magazines and search for cool stuff. These
collage bookmarks turn out really nice! Good Luck!

As a memory jogger, the song goes:

I can see the barges'

there is a big, bright neon red bouncing ball. It bounces all over town,
falls down a manhole, falls into a tuba and a dog chases it. The ball just
keeps bouncing. While all this is going on there is a parade marching
through the town. Any help you could give would be wonderful.
Thank you!
