Hello,
I appreciate all the information I received about the show
"Spongebob Squarepants." I not only learned the facts, but a lot
of
fun anecdotal and contextual information came my way as well. I
went home the first night and found SBSP on both of my
Nickelodeon stations (I have TV over a satellite dish but must
admit, hardly ever tune into those channels, to my detriment, it
seems). Now I can't wait to pass the fun along. Just saying those
words makes me kind of giggle! Thanks to those who took the
time to write.

Our system of 25 branches is beginning the process of moving to centralized
selection. It seems that the most efficient way for us to proceed will be
to establish profiles of our branches to help us determine which titles and
how many copies to purchase for them. If you have a model of a profile you
use or have used I would very much appreciate receiving it. Any other
insights on how to make this transition go as smoothly as possible would be
great. The issue now is not whether or not we should centralize, but how
to
accomplish it with least disruption to our customers and staff.
The unselfish support I receive from this group always reinforces my
decision to remain in children's services over the years. Thanks in
advance.

My library is considering centralized ordering of our materials to "free
up" librarians to do more work with the public. I don't have any
information on whether this will be in-house or sent out
("out-house").
My gut reaction is that this is not a good thing, but I want to hear
from those of you who have experience with this service (and right now,
I use the term loosely). I'm trying to keep an open mind...
Thanks,
Susan

Hi Mar Mar,
I was at a workshop last spring and heard a presentation on a library
sleepover (sleepover's a funny looking word!) that was held at the West
Fork Branch Library of Cincinnati--it sounds like they had a blast!
Fortunately, I found their e-mail addresses in my notes: contact
Margaret Rieger, Branch Manager at murmur@fuse.net,
or Maria Bach,
Children's Librarian at danandmariabach@yahoo.com.
Good Luck,
Susan

In preschool storytimes (ages 3-6), parents are advised in a letter that =
they do not need to attend storytime with their children, but if they do, =
they should plan to participate. If they don't attend, they are requested
=
to keep their voices down if they remain in the area so that the children =

In our Toddler storytimes, a parent or caregiver is REQUIRED to participate=
with the child. During the first 20 min. we have stories,
fingerplays, =
songs, flannelboard, and sometimes a game. Some of these activities =
involve interaction between the children and me, but some are specifically =

I put books and a =

it and encourage parents to read to their children. Table Time consists =
of a very simple craft which parents are to help their children with. We =
usually start out with crayons and a large sheet (11 x 17) of plain paper, =

Something new I plan to try this spring is passing a basket around the =

read to them before they move to table time. This will ensure that every =
child is read to. If I notice a parent having trouble reading, I
will =
help them find an alternative method. Another change I hope to have is to

have small flannelboards available for children to use individually. I =
covered several pieces of heavy cardboard with felt (glued on all over and =
taped on the back). The bottom inserts in the boxes that computer paper =

Janice, your parents are the ones who should be helping you keep the order

the parents that the way the program works best is for themto participate

I currently visit 4 daycares, 4 schools, 1 nursing
home, and 1 Adult Day Care. I read to almost 500
children and adults each month. I drive around 50
miles each month. I pay for my own gas and use my own
vehicle. I buy over $200 worth of books each year. I
use special books like pop-up books that we cannot use
in our library collection because they do not hold up.
The children love the pop-up books they often ask me
where we have the pop-up books at in the children's
room. I think the outreach programming is so important
especially to the headstart and pre-school children.
Some of these children and their parents don't even
know they have a public library in their community.
Campbellsville is a small town and it is a shame that
parents don't know they have a public library to go
to. I have had children bring in their grandparents to
meet me at the library. They want to show them the
reading lady. My being out in the community has help
us to be popular with children, teachers, and parents.
After a bitter tax drive that left hard feelings with
some people this is the best type of publicity that
you can get. The teachers know they can ask me for a
book and I will try to get it for them. I deliver
around 30 books each month to teachers. I wish every
library could have a outreach programmer it is worth
the cost.

Hi Helen:
I saw your query on PUBYAC about bullying/teasing/being an outcast -
booklist and our System has just completed our Evaluation List on Bullying
which is called "Braving Bullies". We have it available in print
format
as well as on the web. It is quite a comprehensive annotated list for
children as well as for adults and includes both fiction, non-fiction,
audiovisual and weblinks.

Hi everyone. I want to tell you about a great new book. This is a
bit of
a ramble, but it's so(!!!) good that maybe you'll forgive me?
I ordered the book Animal based on a review in Library Journal. It's a
DK/Smithsonian book. The pictures are incredible! We put it in our J
Reference collection and I really think it will quickly become a favorite
source.
I am just looking at it. It is incredible. You know those reports on
a
specific tree frog that only exists in teachers minds??? Well, their in
here!! Every entry has a full color photograph (some fish have full color
illustrations, but the lice and flea are photos!!). The categories
include"Mammals; birds; reptiles; amphibians; fish; invertebrates."
The
classification information is also included.
As an example of what is covered: i just opened it up to Birds of Prey,
there is info on anatomy, senses, hunting, teeding and flight (that's a
double page spread) then next double page spread has a headshot of a
screaming bald eagle (cool) with info on the bald eagle... then there are
three more pages of specific birds of prey from all over the globe. The
specific info includes location (map), length, weight; plugame; migration;
status; theres information on wing span; what it looks like; what it eats.
(missing is info on the predator of the animal).
In the back of each of the different animal categories are a list of birds
(invertebrates, etc) in danger. The introduction has topics like: what are
animals; evolution; classification; animal groups; anatomy; behavior; life
cycles; animals in danger; conservation. There is a whole section of
habitats with info on the habitat and then info on animals in that habitat.
The index has both latin and common names. It has a CDROM, but I do'nt
like DK's CDROM's and haven't actually looked at it.
here is biblio info:
Animal editors in chief: David Burnie and Don E. Wilson New York:
DK:
Smithsonian Institute, 2001. ISBN: 0789477645. The list price on the
book
is $75, but I think we got it for $50 at B&T (apparently it's on backorder,
but really, it's worth it!)
Thanks for listening to me babble, it really is a great source!

This is the 29th year that there has been a Caldecott Read-in
in Toledo, Ohio. It was started by a professor at the University of
Toledo and was held in various places until about 8 or 9 years ago
when the Toledo-Lucas County Public Library assumed the responsibility
for hosting it. A local children's book store co-sponsors and provides
copies of books that were published inthe fall that we do not
have in our collection yet.
Our local winner and honor books are:
Winner: The Three Pigs by Wiesner
Honor books:
Leonardo's Horse by Jean Fritz, illustrated by Hudson Talbott
Martin's Big Words by Doreen Rappaport, illutrated by Bryan Collier
The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere by HW Longfelloe, illustrated by
Christopher Bing

We've done this project with cardboard tube, just putting on enough peanut
butter to hold the seeds, BUT quit doing it when we had staff member and
storytime child who were very allergic to peanuts, could not even be around
the smell. This tends to be a frequent allergy in children so we do not do
anything with peanuts, peanut butter any more. I found out a couple of
years ago I am also allergic to peanuts so didn't want to assume anyone
would know and stay away if announced the project in advance. I wouldn't
have known!

I know we've covered big-name WWF wrestlers doing programs at the library,
but what about lesser-known local performers? Has anyone had a wrestler
who
doesn't have any real name recognition come? We have a local promotion in
the Maryland-Delaware area, but none of these guys are anyone our kids have
heard of. My concern is that we wouldn't get a great response to the
lesser-known wrestlers. I'd be interested to hear from anyone who has had
experience, good or bad, in this area.
Thanks,
Steve Webber

I have posted this to another list-serve, but so far, no one knows
that answer. I'm hoping that someone here will have a clue.
HELP! Not much to go on here, hope someone can help. Had a
patron looking for a book she may have read as long as 50 years
ago. Thinks it was picture book format, and it was about a pig that
ate so much he exploded (and then she thinks he went to heaven).
His name might have been George.

Thanks to Solina Marquis and Susan Williams for relating that "The Moon
and the Balloon" is a book by Mike Thaler, published in 1982.
I had found an old flannelboard folder in one of our storytime kits
titled "the moon and the balloon," and there were flannelboard figures
included, but no words. I will probably replace this flannel with a new
one.
Thanks again!

I am looking for the words to a flannelboard rhyme or story called
"The
Moon and the Balloon." I don't know how long it is, so if it is too
long to retype, a citation for any book it is in would be fabulous.
I have already looked in these books:
Felt Board Fingerplays
Felt Board Fun
Finger Frolics
Finger Frolics 2
Be and Say a Fingerplay
Please reply directly to me (dornbacs@ci.farmers-branch.tx.us),
and I
will post an answer if I get one.

Anyone know of such books??

I have a patron who is VERY anxious to find a book. She does not
know the title or the author. She says it is a book she thought I would
immediately recognize from her description. Any help would be
GREATLY
appreciated.
Patron remembers using this book with children 10 or 15 years ago.
It is the story of a grandfather who cares for a child. The grandfather
feeds and holds the child, they go for walks, etc. Then later, the child
cares for the grandfather, feeds him, holds him, pushes his wheelchair,
etc. Patron is certain this is either a picture book or a reader
(maybe a
J 3-4). If you have any idea, please let me know.
This book is not Now One Foot Now the Other by dePaola. Nor is it
Love you Forever.
Thanks. Peggy

Here are the responses to my query about magazines in your children's

Some of the mags we get that are well used:

* Your Big Backyard (National Wildlife Federation publication)
* Kids Discover (149 Fifth Ave., NY, NY 10010 212-677-4457)
* Calliope - exploring world history (Cobblestone, again)
* Faces (Cobblestone)
* Cobblestone - discover American History
I've been in charge (on a volunteer basis) of our school's magazine

> We have over 50 titles and we limit them to one magazine per

Highlights, Hopscotch, Contact Kids, Click, American Girl (extremely

My two favorites are all the "Cricket"publications (which you may
already
have), and a new one, Explore! Magazine. Their website is

Footsteps: African American History - "A publication of this nature is long
overdue." (Barbara Pereira) Each theme issue of Footsteps
illustrates and
honors the history and achievements of people of African descent. The
subject matter is brought to life by rich and accurate nonfiction, wonderful
photography, interviews with descendants of historic figures, historic
photographs, original art, contests, crafts, recipes, maps, time lines and
more.
I haven't seen it personally.
We have just received our first issue of Appleseeds in the library, and it
has learning activities and interesting articles, with lots of pictures.
A
single issue seems to have one theme, although this may not be the norm.
This issue was about the Erie Canal and related historical waterways, etc.

After watching our quality magazines for children (many literature based
like Cricket, Hopscotch, etc.) sit on the shelf month after month I decided
to strike out with more commercial titles. I replaced them with Dig (an
archeological magazine for kids that has been really popular), Your Big Back
Yard, Thomas the Tank Engine, and others less unlikely titles like Sports
Illustrated for Kids, National Geographic World, etc. I also ordered Mary
Kate and Ashley before the publisher went bankrupt, and have always had
American Girl. My magazine circulation has skyrocketed, from one to two
issues going out every other month to me shelving 3 or more issues a week
(doesn't seem like much, but remember I started with nothing!) Hope this
helps, Melissa MacLeod mmacleod@sailsinc.org

Hi Peggy,
We get Stepping Stones (actually donated by someone) and it is a good
magazine,
important for its themes of peace, cultural awareness and children's rights.
Unfortunately, it does not circulate well. It does have a nice mix of
articles,
poems, short stories, photos and drawings, but it lacks that glossy appeal
that tends to determine circulation (at least here). It is a hard one to
make a determination on - but, I can probably say that I might not choose to
purchase it, but I am glad we have it as a gift subscription. That is
probably
not the least bit helpful - but you may have more of an audience than we do.
It is geared for middle school ages, grades 5-9 or so. Most of the
submissions
are from teenagers.

Hello, all,
I am in the planning stages of 2002 Teen SRP, and I have finally come up
with a program -- but I can't think of a "theme" that fits what I want
to
do! Okay, here's the program and the challenge: I've created a
bingo-like
game board that has genres in each square. Teens read, watch movies, or
attend library events that "fit" the various genres listed. I
would like a
catchy theme (our 2002 state theme is "Join the Winner's Circle" but
we
don't usually use the same theme for teens and children @ our library).
So,
any ideas?
TIA, Sarah
P.S. If anyone is interested in more information, I will be happy to email
you my "plans" and game boards.

Hello,
I know last year many of you held Arthur parties celebrating his 25th
birthday. I need some help with something we are doing this winter.
We are
using DEMCO Arthur reading materials and doing an "Arthur Winter Reading
Club" with a kick-off this Friday!! Does anyone have any ideas of a
story
or script we could use to put on a puppet show? We do lots of
"Preschool
Playdays" focusing on a favorite book character but this crowd will be a
bit
older and will need a little more than a storytime. For the Preschool
Playdays we average crowds of 200+, for this we are expecting 75-100. It
is
a day off school so we expect the kids to be K-2nd grade. Any help you
could provise this week would be great! Sorry for the late notice.
Please
email me privately.
