Dear x o~
Almost never do I get a patron with a specific web address in mind. I am
almost always approached with a reference question which requires a search
engine search. Google searches seem to be extremely fast and accurate most
of the time. If I ever do get a patron who wants to look up a particular web
address, I will certainly show them how to type it in.

Doing research with no known address is one thing.
But how amazingly time consuming to spend all that
time on search engines when you have a web address in
front of you. I would never tell someone not to go to
the NYTIMES.com etc., use a search engine. If someone
had the specific address I show them how to access it.
To send them off on the search engine tangent to me
is total misdirection if they have a known address.
These instances of web sites kicking over into
ponrnography sites are so few and far between as to be
almost laughable. The only reason I have ever even
encountered one is because of learning through Pubyac.
I have never in 8 years on the internet and with 4
other people in my house on it and at work, gone to a
web site that had become pornographic in the meantime.
We are all a bit more aware of things then the general
public at times and need to temper that with common
sense.

Might the school be one in which many children are held back one or more
years? Such schools often have a reading level/interest level discrepancy
such
as this. "Third grade" may not tell the whole story. Ask about
physical age.
What are the stats on teen pregnancy and drug use? Sounds like a natural for
school/library partnering.

Wow! I am blown away about the mature content here. BUT, I think
there are
a few ways to approach this. Basically, using the thread of character
education I think you can touch on a few subjects like self-esteem, family,
relationship, responsbility, without adrressing the specific topics of sex,
drugs and rock-n-roll...
Howabout fiction, short stories (ala' Great Books program), poetry (a great
start!), movies. Look at lesson plans that have discussion starters or
writing activities (poetry especially), or evn the movie idea. A good site
is www.teachwithmovies.org that
provides great lesson plans, etc. Pair a
movie and book.
Good luck!

WARNING: BLANTENT SELF-PROMOTION BELOW
There are TONS of great ideas for library card
campaigns out there, but sadly most folks don't write
them up BUT come spring, I'll have a book out from
Neal-Schman called Running a Successful Library Card
Campaign: A How-To-Do-It Manual (1-55570-438-7) which
gathers ideas from library card campaigns from all ove
the country from all different sizes of libraries.
Here's the promo from the catalog/web site:
How would you like to triple the number of people in
your community with a library card and see them using
your library regularly? This exciting and inspiring
How-To brims with proven techniques and tips from
librarians across the country. With the remarkable
popular campaign known as the Power Card Challenge,
Patrick Jones and his colleagues at the Houston Public
Library enrolled well over 200,000 new library users.
They also watched circulation of juvenile materials
increase by over 33 percent. Encouraged by this
success, Jones surveyed and studied more than 50 other
campaigns aimed at both adults and kids. In clear,
helpful detail, he walks us through the greatest
success stories. Packed with surefire advice from
libraries large and small, this book will stir your
imagination and give the material to help you avoid
having to start from scratch. Includes dozens of
sample brochures, press kits, ads, handouts, strategic
plans, budget outlines, meeting minutes, and other
documents.

We are planning for a new library that will have a lot more computers for
kids than we currently have (and in a location where little children
will
be walking by on their way to the preschool/toddler area...). We would
like
to get sturdy keyboards and are thinking about built-in "mice".
For those
of you who use those, do you recommend them? Do they hold up?
Other
options you prefer?
Secondly, how do you keep kids from going onto the C drive and getting into
File Folders or simply exiting and causing staff to have to reboot the
system? We are a small library with no special computer person on
staff,
and I have nightmares about spending all my time trying to fix computer
problems in a new facility!
Any suggestions would be helpful.

are of interest to young girls. Girls are reaching puberty younger and
younger. It's not strange to have a 3rd or 4th grade girl beginning

Hi Kathy,
Those are really some tough issues for third graders. Eve Bunting has a
wonderful book called Doll Baby written at about a third or fourth grade
level. It's about a fifteen year old mother. According to the back cover
it's written with her 9 year old granddaughter in mind. It deals with
all
the hardships of teen motherhood (telling your parents, going to the
clinic, weight gain, school, lonliness, missing out on activities, etc. in
a gentle way younger kids can deal with yet still learn from in my opinion.
Another option might be audio book versions of something like Go Ask
Alice
author anonymous, or selected stories from No Easy Answers by Don Gallo or
something like that. Good Luck, I'll be interested in seeing what other
responses you get.

Hello everyone!
I just was currious about anyone having a Harry
Potter Party at the movie theater. We just held ours
there today. Another librarian on this list mentioned
their library was trying to do the same thing at their
local theater. That's where I got the idea. I was
just wondering how it went. With ours the good part
was the trivia contest. The least favorite part was
that the majority of the people just came for the
party and didn't want to see the movie. Either they
already had or they didn't want to take the kids to
it. Just currious if anyone else did something
simular.

Greetings, Kathy,
Personally, I don't think you're off base at all with the
self esteem
idea. It's a basic so many kids are in dire need of and that many
adults
assume is already in place.
I would hazard a guess that many of the third graders in
question have
siblings experiencing many of the problems mentioned.
Maybe a book club featuring books with strong female
characters would
work for the teacher and her class. Most of the Dear America titles
fit
into that category, but don't feature sex, drugs and pregnancy.
I keep a journal of what I read and looked through my
list but the books
with themes you asked about are YA (which addresses the aspect of
reading
below grade level--they won't get the messages anyway!)
Hope the collective brain comes up with some titles.
In the meantime
would you feel okay with suggesting to the teacher that she talk to the
school's social worker and maybe come up with more ideas that will give you
something more to go on?
Throw out some self esteem titles--it certainly won't
hurt and I'm sure
the teacher will see your response as genuinely trying to help her out with
a difficult topic for that age range. Good luck.

Subject: toddler name tags
Date: Tue, 11 Dec 2001 20:43:25 CST
My toddlers LOVE their name tags! I adapted this from teaching
preschool:
I use our Ellson machine to punch out a shape and laminate. As the
children visit for the first time, I write their first name with
permanent ink on it. I have velcro attached to the back, and they
put it up on a flannel board at the front of the room.
This eliminated the "play with your tag" problem, since it's all
the way
at the front of the room. We always count how many we have, and this
last time I made gingerbread men with different colored hats, so we would
count how many blue hats, etc. Then at the end we put them back in a
basket for next time.
I mainly started it so that when we sang "The more we get
together" I had
all their names right there!

Hello collective brain,
I'm a long-time lurker, but this is my first post. I'm looking for a
script
for a puppet show entitled "The revenge of the three bears."
I helped to
perform it at my last job, but I don't know if one of my fellow librarians
wrote it or found it. Does anyone know if such a script exists, or
even a
picture book that would contain the basic plot? The gist of the story
is
that the three bears follow goldilocks to her house and wreck it in
revenge
only to find out that it isn't her house at all, but that of the big bad
wolf.
If anyone has any idea please reply directly to me at cbrobst66@hotmail.com

According to amazon.com, they have no news of a date of release or even
a title. It's simply listed as "Harry Potter 5" You
can sign up for
e-mail notification when the book is available.

I'm a reference librarian for a consortium of (mostly public) libraries
in Northern California. Some of our member libraries are considering
obtaining public performance licenses from MPLC (Motion Picture
Licensing Corporation.)
According to their website at http://www.mplc.com,
MPLC offers an
umbrella license to libraries and other nonprofit organizations for
public video performances that are not covered by educational use
guidelines. The cost of the license is based on the number of patrons
served.
I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who is familiar with MPLC, regarding
cost of the license, what types of films they offer, and any other
information.
Thank for any information you can provide. I will summarize for the
list, if there is interest.

Hi All,
In January, I will step into leading/sharing a Mother
Goose Time for "little ones," aged 6-24 months and
their accompanying adults. I feel wonderful with PreK
storytimes and with Toddler/Time for Twos Storytimes,
but I know little about this youngest age group. In
fact, I've not found many opportunities to interact
with babies in my life. (A few of my contemporaries
and relatives are having babies, but I've held very
few.) My heart is warm and open, though, and babies
seem to coo and smile at me from their parents' arms.
I hereby seek your collective warmth and wisdom. I'm
currently reading Jane Marino's and Dorothy F.
Houlihan's _Mother Goose Time_, which seems like a
seminal book, offering "sheet music," album titles,
picture book titles, display book titles, and resource
book titles. Now I ask you to please send a message
about your favorite materials, rhymes, activities,
songs, etc. I'd prefer those acceptable for both
prewalkers and walkers. Any special tips for shaping
the time and space and dealing with behavior issues
(of children and of parents) are welcomed.
I will create a compilation of all responses and post
it for all of you. Thank you very much in advance for
what may prove to be your holiday present to me.

Dear All:
I am looking for suggestions for a patron who came in looking for books for
her 4 year old daughter. It seems that the daughter is part of a trio
of
girls who have problems because one of the girls ends up getting left out in
their activities. It doesn't sound like it's the same girl each time,
I
think it's just one of those "three's a crowd" situations.
So far I've come
up with "Friends" by Helme Heine and "Horace and Morris but
Mostly Dolores"
by James Howe. If you have any more suggestions which may be more
appropriate for this situation, please email them to me.
Thanks so much!
