Dear Librarians,
I'm in library school and I'm doing a paper on Latchkey Children in Public
Libraries. I've read the material but I'd like to enhance my paper
with
some
quotes from professionals who are there in the midst.
Would you please take a moment and answer the following few questions
briefly
(a couple of sentences each please).
Send your replies to my e-mail address.
THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP!
1. Do you mind these children using the library after school?
2. Do you feel qualified to act as a childcare provider - do you even see it
that way?
3. Do you have enough help and/or resources to handle the children?
4. What is the best experience with these latchkey children (aka
"unattended"
children)?
5. What is your worst experience with them?
6. Any other observations or comments that you feel are important.
Thanks again!

At our library, each librarian gets a blank calendar
at the beginning of every month. In children's we also
give one to each member of our clerical staff since
they sometimes help with easy questions. We make a
slash mark each time we answer a reference question.
(We don't count where is the bathroom, fountain, etc.
or what time do you close?). We compile all of the
separate sheets at month's end. Hope this helps.

Okay, clue me in. Is there a list to get on that will inform me
of the
daily changes in political correctness? I was just berated quite
loudly and
rudely by a patron when I didn't know what she wanted. She asked me for our
books on exceptionalities. Now maybe it's been a long day, or maybe
it's
the 45 kids fighting over 8 computers to play Pokemon and CyberPet, or the
fourteen preschoolers putting on an impromptu puppet show..... But I
have
never heard that term, and I looked at her very nicely and said,
"Excuse
me?" very politely, and she went off! And when I had the nerve to
say, "Oh,

this
something new, or am I just terribly out of the loop??

Kim, I have never had a complaint, per se, but I have a fairly large
Jehovah's Witness patronage, and I make sure I tell everyone when I will be
doing a holiday themed story time. I won't stop having them, but it is
only
fair to everyone that I let them know. As for decorations and
displays, I
always go all out with seasonal and holiday stuff, and have never had a
patron complain. I do have two display bookcases, and one is holiday
and
one is something else. Like: Christmas and Winter.
Valentine's Day and
friendship. Easter and poetry. etc........

I totally agree with Halloween not being a Christian holiday. But,
that
said,
my Catholic Church now has a children's mass on Halloween -a vigil mass for
Nov. 1 - All Saint's Day. The kids are encouraged to come in costume
as one
of
their favorite saints. I haven't been for years as my youngest will be
21
in a
few short months, but I do remember a lot of very creative costumes.
It was
fun, and the kids were out early enough to go trick-or-treating if they
wanted
to.

Here are some of the responses I received. Thank you all for your wonderful
ideas! I could make a transportation craft week out of all of them!
-Kristin Arnett
One easy craft for the age group you mentioned can be found in Best of
Mailbox Arts and Crafts-PreSchool edition. On page 143 is a pattern
for a
bus with wheels that attatch with brads. I don't do the craft the way
they
say with brads (choking hazard at mylibrary) but I do have the kids glue
black wheels onto the bus after they have colored it. I also have them
glue
it to a craft stick--insta-puppet! One other idea for the pattern is
to
have them glue picturees of people (or draw people) in the bus windows.
All
were popular and easy for children of 2-6 to do.
Becky Tresler
This summer we did a transportation storytime and what I did was purchase
some
matchbox cars and trucks, put some poster paint on a cookie sheet and supply
lots of paper and the kids dipped the wheels of the vehicles in the paint
and
made roadways!!!!! It was easy but kind of messy :)
Marianne Stanton
Since you have such a wide age range I would have the children do
transportation collages. Have pre-cut magazine pictures of different modes
of transportation (cars, bikes, trains, roller skates, boats, planes) for
the younger children and magazines that the older children can look through
and cut their own pictures from. The younger children may be happy to paste
just a few pictures on their papers, while the older children can make more
complex collages. It's easy and fun. All you need are scissors, magazines,
construction paper, and glue sticks. Hope that helps. --Cathy.
How about making steering wheels out of paper plates with a black
circle for the horn button? - Jeri
I drew a school bus with big windows. The children glued cut out magazine
pictures in the windows. Stickers can also be used. I also gave them two
black circles and they used rivets to attach them on the picture the wheels
rotated.
I am doing one on transportation this week and I
usually make steering wheels out of paper plates by
cutting a Y shape and letting the kids color them and
glue a circle in the middle for the horn. Then we use
it for a driving book so they can use it to drive. In
the past I have also given them a car pattern and then
pieces like the wheels to glue on. Jennifer Bromann
I did a train program and made an edible train by putting two large
marshmallows together with a small pretzel stick then attaching the wheels
(cheerios) with frosting. They were very popular. Tina Hager
Simple to set-up and easy-to-do - wheelie collages:
give each child a sheet of heavy paper and some
"wheel" pasta and cut-out
rectangles of various sizes and colors (rectangles can be cut out of paper,
cloth, whatever you have-I like to use gift-wrap paper, esp. foils) .
They
glue the rectangles onto the heavy paper and put pasta wheels on them.
Then they can use crayons, markers, etc. to finish them out...some will do
trucks or cars, some will do trains and then draw in roads, tracks,
headlights, smoke, etc.
terri wimpee
You could use baking soda boxes. Buy several at a
dollar store, pour all the soda in a big ziploc bag
and use for air fresheners, counter cleaner etc.
later, to have them all match - generic soda is about
33 cents each...
or ask them to bring one.
cover with construction paper and stick glue. Type
of stuff I have done with Tiger Cubs and Daisy
Scouts...
I recently saw a cute idea that involved making trains using Twinkies,
frosting and candy as decorations. The smokestacks were made from
stacked
Oreo's I believe. I haven't had the chance to try this but it sounds
pretty
easy and fun.
Best of Luck...
One is to make paper buses out of milk cartons. Cover them in yellow paper,
draw on windows and designs, and then glue milk caps for wheels. I
haven't
actually done this yet, but have everything for when I do get around to
having a bus storytime...
The other craft is much simpler--decorate paper towel tubes however they
like, and then stick red, yellow and green circles on to make a nifty
stoplight! Ruhama Kordatzky
I think the omnipresent juice boxes would be a good size to make little cars
out of with the addition of a wrap-around construction paper "paint
job."
(The plastic coating of the juice boxes tends to make it hard to glue on
them.) Then add on stiff (poster-board?) wheels, etc, and you've got a
hand-sized "Thing That Goes." The real trick will be to get
the juice
boxes. (Wicked smile...) I know! I'll use juice boxes as the
drinks in
library clubs with older kids, then collect 'em, wash them out and use the
empties. Mary Helen Sakellarios
Some successful crafts I've used with transportation are:
Milk carton traffic light--cover a milk carton with black construction
paper (I had a volunteer do this ahead of time). Cut out red, yellow
and
green circles and glue them in place. If you can't get enough milk
cartons,
cut out a traffic light shape from black construction paper and glue onto
a piece of cardboard or posterboard.
Highway Map--cut out varie-colored car and truck shapes (or use Ellson dies,
if you have that machine). Have children glue them on a large sheet of
paper (a cut-open grocery sack works well) and then draw on roads, ponds,
etc.
with crayons/markers. If you have fabric or giftwrap scraps, they
could
glue
those on. Ann W. Moore
I have used the following craft with my transportation storytimes and it has
been well-liked. It may be too simple, but it's something the young
can do
too.
Cut paper plates in half. Cut round circles in any color. (I
have used my
the letter "o" from our die cut alphabet when I was in a hurry,
and saved
the "rings" for other projects.) With two circles stapled or
glued on along
the straight edge as "wheels", you get a silhouette shape like a
VW Beetle.
Simply let the kids color the plates, they can draw in a window and face if
they are old enough. Create an example in advance so they get the
idea.
Then they are ready to putt or whiz on down the road! Marcia Hicks
I am not sure how much planning/cutting time you have, but the kids loved
this craft. Have paper plates with a slit in the middle across the whole
flat part. They color a scene on the plate where as the slit is the line
between the ground and sky (ideally that is). Take pre-cut buses, cars,
trucks, whatever and have them color and put on the end of a popsicle stick.
Slide the stick from in the plate from the back. The vehicle can then slide
back and forth in the scene. Hope this helps! Crystal Kehoe
How about paper airplanes? You can have the kids
color the paper on both sides before they fold the
planes if you need to burn more time. Andrea Terry
I only just saw your posting on pubyac, so forgive me if this is
too late. I saw a really cute craft but can't seem to find it
again. However, you might be able to do one yourself. It was the
front of a car and the headlights were cut out and they had made
sunglasses. The kids could color and cut out the glasses.
Another thing I did once was to draw a VW Beetle on construction
paper. The kids cut out the car and cut out the window. Then we
glued the car shapes to an empty cd jewel case and the kids put a
picture of themselves on the inside of the case so it looked like
they were looking out the car window. It was soooo cute and they
had fun glueing. We made them for a father's day craft.

Hello Walter,
I'm a Children's Librarian at The Grundy Library in Bristol, PA..
We contacted the summer camps that are held in the boro and asked them
to
be part of our Read - At - Home group.
Most of them brought the children to the library once a week to read
and
pick out books. They kept a reading log for each child. We did an occasional
activity with them at the library, but in general they were on their own.
The children filled out a paw prints with the titles of the books they read
on the front and their names on the back. These were posted in the
library.
For every three paw prints they turned in they could pick a prize from the
prize box. We held a party at the end of the summer for all the camp
groups
and awarded Reading Certificates. Each child got to pick a book to
take
home and keep, refreshments were served, and we had some entertainment.
We
also worked with the elementary school in the boro and worked with their
summer enrichment program. We lent each classroom a collection of 25
books
on an appropriate reading level, visited the classrooms once a week and
shared stories, and awarded prizes and Reading Certificates at the end.
It
was a very successful experience and we plan to do it again next year.
These students also filled out paw prints as they read. Our patrons
loved
our wall of paws! ( Animal Odyssey was our theme this year.)

reading programs that involve community outreach, & I'm
looking for examples
of libraries that either take their summer reading programs
out of their
buildings (to childcares, recreation centers, summer school
programs, etc.)
or promote summer reading programs among groups that aren't
traditional
participants in summer programs (lower-income, homeless,
immigrants, or any
other non-traditional group). If you're doing a program like
this, or if you
know of someone doing a really excellent program of this
kind, could you
please let me know about it?
Thanks very much, W

I was hoping someone could help me with this
short-notice request. I have a 5th grade patron who
needs a fiction book by Friday about someone with
their arm in a cast. Any help would be greatly
appreciated!
Please send responses to me directly at

Thank you!

This may be a sign that I am older than I feel, but I need
help with the title for a book I just read. I am weeding the juvenile
collection at the library
where I have an assistantship. As I weed out the old, dirty,
broken-down books, I
am also finding a gold mine of YA titles I have never read. I usually
write the titles in my book journal. I read a great title two weeks
ago, didn't write it down, can't find it on the shelf, and I desperately
want to share it with a patron at the library where I am doing my
internship.
The book went as follows:
Two girls are sent to live with their aunt and uncle temporarily. The
younger one is called Little Sister. There was also a sister called
Baby, but she died as a toddler. That's the reason the girls went to
stay with relatives the mother was not coping well. Little Sister
stopped talking when Baby died. The oldest sister, while at the
aunt's,
decides to go out onto the roof. Little Sister follows her. They
spend
the day there, and the story recounts what happened. The cover shows
two girls, head upraised, sitting on a roof. The background is a blue
sky with white clouds.
Any help you can offer will be greatly appreciated.

I am making a "bridge book" list for my library system. By
the
term "bridge books"" I mean shorter chapter books for
children trying
to make that leap from easy readers to chapter books. I call them step
up from easys. Anyone out there like to share some of their favorites
with me? Reply to my e-mail address:cdye@timberland.lib.wa.us.
thanks in advance.
