How is the library and/or counselor protected from malpractice/lawsuits?
What type of counselor/credentials would be required?
I would suggest being careful about this.

Connie--Here's a really simple way to include music making in a program for
babies and toddlers. Get some pill bottles with childproof lids or some
film canisters (either will work, but you have to tape down the top of the
film canisters if you use them). Put some tiny pasta inside and put on the
lid. Voila! Instant shaker! My little guys and girls love them.
We sing
or recite nursery rhymes using them. I've also used pie tins to bang on,
but they don't always hold up. I've been thinking of purchasing some small
hand drums like they use at the music school in Rochester. Enjoy!
Mary Jo

Amy,
Maybe you could use something like "Treasure Your Library?"

Patron seeks the name of a humorous picture book
with black and white line drawings, read in the
past year but not a new book. Main character is a
girl, an animal of some sort, whose friends are
animals of different sorts (patron remembers Fatso
the Tiger, someone named Loretta). The girl
thinks she does everything better than all her
friends, and patron remembers a biking competition
in particular. The main plot point is a visit to
the doctor, where the doctor sneezes on the girl
and horrifies her: she is now convinced she's
going to develop terrible diseases. I keep
thinking Nancy Carlson, but can't quite get it.
Please reply directly to me. As always, thanks.

We have a homework center for grades 6-12 which includes half a dozen PC's.
Currently they are used mostly for chat room stuff. It's been suggested
that if we did not allow chat at all, the PC's would be used for research
and homework instead, which was the original idea. Also concern for online
safety is an issue. An SLJ article by Walter Minkel ("The Chat's Out
of the
Bag," Feb 2000, page 33) recommends allowing chat, but with a time limit
(we
currently have none) and that's the approach I'm leaning toward. But I'm
very interested in hearing from any public libraries who don't allow chat,
especially for teens. Is it hard to enforce? Do you think teens feel
the
library is not respecting their interests when you tell them chat isn't
allowed? If any public library allowed chat for a while, then decided to
prohibit it, did you lose those chatting teens as patrons? Did you see an
increase in PC use for research?

Hello List!
In the current-- 1/14/2002-- issue of People Magazine, they showcase the
many locations that Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is filmed. One of
the locales is Gloucester Cathedral. In the short blurb below the picture,
it mentions that some religious groups disapproved strongly of shooting the
movie in the Cathedral. Here is the best part: "The cathedral's dean, the
Very Rev. Nicholas Bury, wasn't concerned. 'The book is about love, not
magic,' he says. 'It is a very good modern morality tale.'"
Just thought I'd share-- hope you all enjoyed. I know I did. [:)]

I have a patron who is looking for a children's book that was
published
between 1950 and 1969. It is the story of 3 children who are stranded on a
desert island (2 are siblings), they are eventually rescued. If this sound
familiar to anyone I would appreciate your help.

My supervisor is doing an article on story kits for a library magazine, and
