If your library subscribes to Nickelodeon Magazine,
please look in your August 2001 issue. On page 24,
they interview a woman who is a member of a nudist
colony. We at Perry Public Library think this is
inappropriate material for young children and have
decided to cancel our subscription immediately.
I urge you to review your copy and meet with your
staff to decide what steps would be taken in your
library.
We have written a letter to the company expressing our
shock and explaining our reason for cancelling the
subscription. I hope you will do the same.

Barbara Genco with the Brooklyn Public Library and I served together this
past year on the Caldecott Committee. She called this morning to ask
what
materials we used with kids after the OKC bombing. she also asked that I
post to Listservs.
I remember that what we had to use books for children that dealt with
death, dying and grief: there was nothing that covered anything of the
magnitude of what children and families were facing. Also books on
religion
that discuss "why did God let this happen." There was such
grief that
extended over a long time as the rescue people searched for survivors for
several days. There was no way that children could escape this.
While I am tracking down the list that we used, we have gathered some
similar titles that were published afterward and books such as we used then.
There are parents and teachers across the country that will need librarian's
help to find info so here is a start.
Our local child care resource center is recommending a good article about
coping with crisis that should be on their website by Thursday
www.ccrctulsa.org
One of my children's librarians recommended this article:
http://womencentral.msn.com/parenting/articles/tragedy.asp
One our staff recommended this from another listserv which is to a public
library site:
www.webrary.org/rs/bibbereaved.html
It contains a list of books, both fiction and non-fiction for
children
dealing with grief. Excuse me as I may duplicate some of those titles
below. Some on the above list may not be appropriate for this time but you
may like to know that it is there. Here is what we have gathered.
Titles specifically about OKC:
One April Morning by Nancy Lamb and Floyd Cooper. Lothrop. Very good -
has
conversations with children about their feelings at the time of the bombing
and afterwards
Dear Oklahoma City, get well soon: America's children reach out to the
people of Oklahoma.
Oklahoma City bombing by Victoria Sherrow. Enslow Good overview of what
happened and the aftermath.
Other books for kids:
Why do people die? by Cynthia MacGregor. Carol Publishing Co. 1999
Someone special died byJoan SIngleton Prestine. Fearon Teacher Aids
Goes with the title for adults: Helping Children cope with death
by same
author. Part of the Fearon Teacher aids in series "Kids have feelings
Too"
Death by Barbara Sprung in the preteen pressures series by Raintree
Steck-Vaughn
Let's talk about being afraid by Anna Kreiner
in the Let's Talk about Library series from Rosen Power Kids Press
Children Grieve, too: helping children cope with grief by Joy and
Marvin
Johnson published by Centering Corroboration Resource ISBN
1-56123-106-1
What is war? What is Peace by Richard Rabinowitz
Peace begins with you by Katherine Scholes
What I believe: a young person's guide to the religions of the world by Alan
Brown. Millbrook (to answer questions about why people don't
respect/understand others religious beliefs.
Some for adults:
Life after trauma: a workbook for healing by Dena Rosenbloom
Response to Disaster. by Richard Gist
When a community weeps: case studies in group survivorship
The following are from a booklist "Coping with Stress in the wake of
the
Oklahoma City bombing" collected by our adult Readers Services Dept.
These
are older titles but some libraries may have them. Have not checked in print
status. At the time, these were titles that seemed to be some of the
best
for the situation.
Beyond Endurance: survival at the extremes. St. Martins, 1983
When bad things happen to good people by Harold Cushner. Schocken 1989
For children and teens;
The saddest time by Norma Simon. Albert Whitman.
Lifetimes: by Bryan Mellonie. Bantam, 1983
In case I have mistyped, please check our website if you need to correction
for any of these. My request to the staff for additional resources has also
gone to our local paper. I will share any response I receive from the
community about resources they found helpful. Am trying to contact OKC
library and state library . Some of these were closed yesterday and am
getting busy signals this a.m. Will post later or have them post
directly
to listserv. Kelly Jennings

parents
an internet training class (specifically on how to use the internet with

this before. If you have personal stories or know of great articles,

I received this e-mail from the Child Care Resource Center in Tulsa. These
are sites that they are recommending to parents and those working with
children in relation to NYC.
Am forwarding to the list. Please excuse if you receive this from other
librarians as I believe it is from the Children's Defense Fund;
however,
due to our unforutnate experience with this topic, I decided to send what
our professionals here in OK are recommending.Please excuse cross-post
to
another listserv - I have been asked to post on pubyac and ALSC.
I have talked with staff in OKC library and they are not finding the
booklist that they used during that time period also. Once there were books
published about the bombing plus newer books dealing with crisis, etc.,
we
cleaned our files. I think we also just wanted to forget.
Here is the CCRC message:More resources for working with children in
response to the terrorist attacks.We have received several different web
sites for children and parents to adjust and copy with violence, and these
look to be some of the best.

CHILD CARE ADVOCACY NEWSLETTER

September 12, 2001
SPECIAL EDITION:
-- Resources for Talking with Children About the Tragedy
Our hopes and prayers are with all of our colleagues in New York
City, Washington D.C., and across the country. In light of
yesterday's sad events, we thought we would provide you with some resources
for talking with children about the tragedy. These are general
resources
that can be used by parents, teachers, and
other caregivers to help children through these difficult days.
The following websites have useful information:
-- The Parent Center: www.parentcenter.com/general/34754.html
-- American Academy of Pediatrics:
www.aap.org/advocacy/releases/disastercomm.htm
-- American Psychological Association:
http://helping.apa.org/therapy/traumaticstress.html#children
-- American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry:
http://www.aacap.org/
Some general advice from the experts includes:
1. Continuously reassure your children that you will help to keep
them safe.
2. Turn off the TV. Overexposure to the media can be
traumatizing. If your older children are watching the news, be
sure to watch with them.
3. Be aware that your child's age will affect his or her
response. Adolescents in particular may be hard hit by these
kinds of events. Obtaining counseling for a child or adolescent
soon after a disaster may reduce long-term effects.
4. Calmly express your emotions, but remember that a composed
demeanor will provide a greater sense of security for your child.
5. Give your children extra time and attention and plan to spend
more time with your children in the following months.
6. Let your children ask questions, talk about what happened, and express
their feelings.
7. Play with children who can't talk yet to help them work out
their fears and respond to the atmosphere around them.
8. Keep regular schedules for activities such as eating, playing
and going to bed to help restore a sense of security and
normalcy.
9. Consider how you and your child can help. Children are better
able to regain their sense of power and security if they feel
they can help in some way.
For more information on helping victims of the U.S. attacks,
visit: http://helping.org/promos/cs_wtc.adp
The United Way of New York and the New York Community Trust have established
a fund to help the victims of the attacks and their families. The
September
Eleventh Fund will provide immediate support to established emergency
assistance agencies. Anyone wishing to contribute may send their donations

I know this is wandering a bit outside of Children's per say, but is anyone
out there attempting to put together a display that would offer patrons an
opportunity to engage is dialog around yesterday's tragic events? (Via a
bulletin board, etc..)
As we're hearing members of the broadcast media use phrases like "We've
been
politically correct for too long..." I'd like to do
something that would
include excerpts from Thich Nhat Hanh's "Being Peace" speech, Dr.
King's "I
Have a Dream" speech, Ghandi, etc... As well as recent newspaper
reports of
individual acts of sudden peace-making between previously quarreling
parties, as a direct result of yesterday's events.
Is anyone else working on something along those lines?

Science and Social Studies are unlimitted, but here are a few good math
stories I came up with; One Riddle, One Answer by Lauren Thompson
Measuring
Penny by Loreen Leedy, One Grain of Rice by Demi and Tiger Math by Ann

a

Hi all,
I have a patron looking for a poem that she used 20 years ago as a teacher.
She says the title is: "Woe to (or of) an unwilling orator."
She said the
last line is: "I gotta speak a piece tomorrow night. "
It is about a kid,
probably a boy, who has to do a speech and he's trying to think of all the
ways he could get out of it--get sick, rip his clothes, etc.
We've checked Grangers, Masterfile, Poetry for Children and Young Adults,
all the volumes of Index to Poetry for Children and Young People, Google,
AltaVista, WorldCat, The complete Lyrics of Lorene Hart, and Last lines : an
index to the last lines of poetry. This one has both Adults and
Children's
stumped. Any ideas?
