I seem to recall that around Christmas time last year several people
recommended a site that sells library-themed stuff.
Does anyone remember that site?
Pls e-mail me at: sstreet@tln.lib.mi.us

Hi all,
I had a patron looking for a book about children who leave town to live in
treehouses. Each treehouse has a different theme.
Does anyone have any ideas? If so please reply to me directly:
apeters@jefferson.lib.co.us
Thanks so much! :)

I couldn't think of anything for this one, or where art form in picture
books
might be indexed.
An art teacher wants to have her students make a book, photographing their
clay
models for illustrations, a la claymation, and wants to show them some
examples.
Does anyone know of any picture books like this?

Hello,
I'm trying to decide which videos to keep and which to get rid of before we
move around out collection.
Some of our videos have circulated well over 300 times. With
children's
videos this means that they may have been played 1000 times.
These are still going out without complaints from patrons.
Does anybody have a policy or experience in their library about weeding
videos based on circulation? Maybe these videos are losing quality and
we
just don't know it.
Thanks,

Hi Lesa,
It's really, really hard to bake in microwave, they cook too fast from the
inside out. How about Rice Crispy Treats. You can still measure the
ingredients etc and even add M&Ms or choc. chips, but since you're only
melting butter and marshmallows, you wont smoke up the library.
Good Luck,
Peace,
I am looking for a microwavable cookie recipe. I want to "bake"
cookies for
s storyhour but we only have amicrowave. Someone suggested brushing
them
for oil, but I got burnt cookies and a smoky library.

Hi great brains!
A patron came in today looking for a book she read a long time ago. I
am
hoping it will ring a bell with someone. All she could tell me is that
it
was a weird book about a boy who doesn't know he is the son of the sun and
moon. She thought the name of the book was the boy's name. She
thought
the name was Apano. She is not sure of the spelling and has no idea of
the
author. She wants to share the book with her younger sister. If
you can
help please e-mail me at sakowski@grayson.edu.
TIA Belinda

Here are some more clues from another reader. Several people
have asked me to PLEASE PLEASE find this book! Does this title
ring any bell? I thought for sure it was an early Lois Duncan title,
but I've not come up with it yet, even searching WorldCat. Another
thought maybe Snyder. Alas, no luck again.
Thanks much,

And Gail/Gayle/Gale had a cat named Sylvester, and the old lady
in the house read the I Ching, and the main character found
inspiration/psychic escape in the Mobil Pegasus logo, and she
read Bleak House while at the house, and her father rescues her at
the end on his motorcycle. I remember the book, too--but not the
name!!! Please, please post the answer!
