We're going to launch an "amnesty" program this Fall. Nobody
here remembers
the last one.
But I'm concerned about the language. Amnesty's primary sense
definition
revolves around something like this: "a pardon for political offenses
against the government." More commonly, in the Southwest at
least, the term
is used in reference to "illegal" immigrants.
The term does not quite lend itself to good PR or excellent customer service
to youth. But neither do many of its proper synonyms: absolution,
acquittal, reprieve.
I'm fishing for other/better/different terms...

Stephanie Stokes, LM&PR
Stephanie,
Could you please post a note to PUBYAC asking for information
about local library relationships with Major League Baseball teams.
We are only looking for Major League. No minor league teams needed.
ALA currently has info on the following teams:
Los Angeles Dodgers
San Francisco Giants
Atlanta Braves
Minnesota Twins
St. Louis Cardinals
Oakland A's
San Diego Padres
Florida Marlins
NY Mets
Chicago White Sox
When we first put out the call, the 10 teams above came back to us.
We are looking for the remaining 20 or so MLB teams.
We need name of the team, a brief summary of their relationship
to the library (joint partnership, events, programs, etc.) and
a contact person with phone and email so we can follow up.
All info should be sent to: atyourlibrary@ala.org.

What I did to get my first batch of teens was to create a survey about our
YA area. It asked what authors they liked, what movies they'd like me to
purchase, what they wanted in the room that wasn't there, and oh, by the
way, if we created a Teen Advisory Board, would you be willing to be a part
of that? And the answers were: YES, NO, MAYBE, and ONLY IF THERE'S FOOD.
The latter was put in as a joke, but several kids circled it. Of course, we
were planning on serving food of some sort anyway. I also made it clear
that even if they said yes or maybe, they weren't obligated. I had over a
dozen come to the first meeting. I'll admit that we faded to a lonely three
or four by the end of that year. However, I then started a teen summer
reading program, and I went through the lists of participants after it
ended. Anyone who looked as though they read a lot or had come to a lot of
the programs was invited to join. This time I had about eighteen different
kids participate, and I always had between eight and twelve at our monthly
meetings. One girl always brought a friend along, which I encouraged them
to do. (I also invite kids who come to the library often, because I know
they're more likely to be interested, even if I missed them earlier.)
The good thing about the second year was that I had kids from sixth through
tenth grade, and a mix of boys and girls, so I had much wider
representation. The first year I think they were all seventh graders.

Subject: Books with Inserts
Date: Tue, 3 Jul 2001 00:45:14 CDT
Thanks to everyone who responded with answers to my
question, re: Circ. procedures for books with inserts,
a la "The Jolly Postman." Here are the responses I got;
they're all great ideas!
1. What we do to make it as simple as possible is to
put a check
in/check out note on the record and on the book or most
often computer
software package telling exactly what should be there.
Children's does its
own circ so most often the parts get checked but with a
network system we
can't be sure that circ people in other libraries bother
to check for
parts. We do keep photocopies of the "bits" and replace
thwm as we find
them missing. Honestly, I try not to buy books with
extra bits stuck in
them, I did get caught recently by a Babysitters Chain
Letter book,
luckily most of those were postcards or folded notes
that don't come out.
2. I just don't circulate them. I wouldn't normally
buy them at all in fact,
as they aren't library friendly. I have a collection of
award winners, and
the Jolly Postman is in it - it is the only one of the
collection which
can't go out.
We have a collection of pop-up books which people can
look at in the
library, but I wouldn't buy the books with bits for that
either.
3. I'm a Library Assistant with the Auckland College of
Education. Here, if we
have items that have inserts, we turn them
into 'kitsets'. All the items
are placed into a plastic case/folder that has one
barcode, with an itemised
listing on the front that details what the kit contains.
eg:
368700001234567
3 posters
2 leaflets
1 book
If kitsets are returned minus items we can follow this
up because a list of
items is always on the front. The Librarians count all
kitset items on
issue to Patrons and, if there are items missing, a note
is left inside the
kitset to that effect. This is so the Patron is not
liable for
damages/costs they did not incur. When kitsets are
returned all items are
counted and, if any are missing, a missing/incomplete
fine is charged to the
Patron's record and they are sent a letter notifying
them of which kitset
item was not returned. So far it works quite well.
4. We do two things. If a book like The Jolly Postman
comes in, we make
it reference and put it by our desk for kids to look at
when they come
into the library. If we get two copies of a book or a
replacement
comes in, we let one circ and put the other in
our "special books"
area, which also includes pop-up books and books with
movable parts.
It seems to work fine because the patrons appreciate the
books being
all together and in good shape.

One of our librarians was a video game fan, so last summer I offered a
"Video Games: Tips and Tricks" program. We have the
setup to put the
Intrnet on overhead projection, and so he started out showing the teens
(all boys) his favourite web sites for cheats and easter eggs, and then
they all offered favourite tips and tricks of their own. A nice
popular
program, cheap and easy -- if you know somebody with the knowledge!

We allow it as long as no one is waiting to do "serious" stuff.
Our
computers are always in use and, especially during the summer, 80% is
e-mail and chat rooms! Of course, we are located in an area where not
everyone has his own computer at home...that is why we allow it.

My teen advisory board designed a recruiting poster that we are handing
out with our summer reading packet. It has the
Uncle-Sam-pointing-a-finger graphic and a headline saying WE WANT YOU!
Underneath the text reads:
Are you interested in
* choosing books for the Teen collection?
* designing library programs for teens?
* picking out Friday night movies for the school year?
* putting on special story hours for the little kids?
* earning credit for volunteer work in your community?
* hanging out with your friends?
* free chips and soda after school?
If you answered YES to any of the above collections, check out the South
Huntington Public Library Teen Advisory Board. (TAB)
Then I put in the meeting dates and times, and conclude with
Drop in, and check us out!
Incidentally, have you joined the TAGAD-L list specifically for teen
advisory groups? There are a lot of good suggestions out
there...

Today I read for the second time two new books that I find enchanting:
THE
OTHER DOG (L'Engle)and AND THE DISH RAN AWAY WITH THE SPOON (Janet Stephens
and Susan Stevens Crummel). I know that the second is full of puns
(some
would say horrible puns) but I love the humor and the pictures are terrific.
THE OTHER DOG may be too much for little children. The staff loved it
as
did I, but I think it will work with 2nd grade and up.
For the librarians on the list. I am thinking of creating a new
category
for the Children's Dept. but I am not sure what to call it. It would
be a
separate section for those longer and more sophisticated picture books
which are not meant for the usual picture book audience, but for the lower
elementary grades. Do any of you have such a section and what do you
call
it?
I am posting this to two other listservs so please forgive any duplicates.

Subject: Results of Eensy, Weensy vs. Itsy, Bitsy
Date: Tue, 3 Jul 2001 00:47:57 CDT
Thanks so much to everyone who responded to my posting about whether they
have a fingerplay about an "Eensy, Weensy Spider" or one about an
"Itsy,
Bitsy Spider." I had 54 people respond. "Itsy Bitsy"
won by almost a 2:1
margin--35 to 19. (Since I'm an "Eensy, Weensy" person, I
found it
shocking that so many people are misinformed! Cindy Rasely agrees with
me, but goes on to say "But in the interest of global peace and
understanding, I now ask before we do the rhyme and the majority
rules.")
It doesn't seem to matter where you were raised. I had people respond
that were raised in the same state or even city. Some thought it was
one
way, some the other. A few people suggested that it is a generational
thing, rather than a regional expression. (perhaps...) Nora Liederbach
said she'd sung it as "Eensy, Weensy" as a child (I won't reveal
how many
years ago), but changed to "Itsy, Bitsy" a few years ago.
I received an email from Alison Creech who said she learned "Incy,
Wincy"
in Scotland, but uses "Itsy, Bitsy" now that she lives in Nova
Scotia.
Interestingly, Carolyn Jones from Australia also has an "Incy,
Wincy"
spider. She went on to say that she's also heard "Ipsy,
Wipsy" there. (I
don't think I'll adopt this one...makes me think of an inebriated
spider--sounds too much like "tipsy") Marie Gradon from New
Zealand also
uses "Incy, Wincy." Denise M. Pulgino Stout who was raised
in
Pennsylvania has even heard "Inky Dinky"!
Beverly Bixler from San Antonio did some research in her card catalog.
She found 8 items with the phrase "Eensy, Weensy" and 18 with
"Itsy,
Bitsy." That prompted me to check my own system--11 "Eensy,
Weensy" (or
similar spelling), 17 "Itsy, Bitsy". (In this search I
discovered that
"Itsy, Bitsy" is the phrase of choice for that large purple
dinosaur
Barney. Now, there's an authoritative source for us!) Beverly went on
to
say she uses both. (I'm afraid I'm too regimented for that approach!
Besides I type out fingerplay sheets in advance for the parents and we use
them for a month or more.)
Jo-Ann Woolverton from Toronto has more than one kind of spider. She
said
"With 3 year olds, I use Eensy, weensy with a finger puppet. I then do
big
fat spider where the children clap their palms together so that their
fingers look like spider legs. With 3-5 year olds I will do eensy weensy
in a regular voice, big fat in a loud voice and then teeny, tiny in a very
quiet voice." Becky Wineke does a similar thing using just pinky
fingers
for "Eensy, Weensy." (Neat idea--I think I'll try it!)
Cindy Carey from Washington (state, not D.C.) said that she wondered if
"Eensy, Weensy" will become more popular since Mary Ann Hoberman
has
published a book that uses the title and expands the story. Joanna
Cole
published a collection of fingerplays with this title (except it was
spelled "Eentsy, Weentsy") in 1991. (I should stop here
because they
agree with me, but...) Lorianne Siomades, Iza Trapani and even Rosemary
Wells (an author I respect greatly) each wrote about an "Itsy,
Bitsy" one.
Sue Ridnour recommended that I look at "Greasy Grimy Gopher Guts"
by
Josepha Sherman. (It is subtitled "The Subversive Folklore of
Children")
We don't have it so I've put in an ILL request. It should be
interesting.
For now I'll finish with another comment Carolyn Jones (from Australia)
made:
"I don't really think it matters, cause the kids sure don't care either
way, they didn't even care when I changed tune in the middle by
mistake!!
Aren't preschoolers great!"
Yes, they are and so is everyone who offered their opinion in my quest to
satisfy my curiosity. Many thanks.

Our children's department has a Saturday read at 2 p.m, during the school
year (not in the summer). Attendance is sporadic, but we do have some
regulars and is promoted as a family time. As we read longer, higher
level
picture books, older siblings enjoy it. We do less music and more

and the families have fun.

I did Saturday storyhours last year outside. It was not as successful as I
thought. We are a beach community so I did it at 9:30 a.m. Thsi yera I am
moving it to a clump of trees and lowered the time to 9:00. The survey I
used said that low attendance was due to hour (people go to beach), heat and
just not knowing about it. Since we have three full time preschools I made
up flyers and handed them out to them. I do dress up in costume. I'll let
you know how it turns out.

Hi all,
We've looked & listened and can't find this
one. An alphabet record
from about 25 years ago with an alphabet action song that starts out
"I'm
an A with my arms out wide" The song ends--or there is another
song that
sings the alphabet backwards. We've gone through the Index To
Children's
Songs and Popular Song Index and Children's Song Index plus about 200
years of children's librarian experience and nobody can come up with it.
Any help is much appreciated. Since we have no record collection any
longer it would be really really helpful if we could find a cassette or CD
version.
Thanx a bundle, jeri
