OK, I admit it--I don't know what a poetry slam is.  Can anyone explain?

My source for this story has always been:
Just Enough to Make a Story: A Sourcebook for Storytelling by Nancy
Schimmel, Sisters' Choice Press (mine is second edition, 1982).

I hope you can put your hands on this excellent resource for storytelling.

Dear Collective Brain --

I'm seeking a recommendation for a literature rack (flyers, bookmarks
etc.) that someone out there LOVES!  We'd prefer something table-top size,
but if someone has something larger they recommend that's great too.  If
you've got one to recommend please tell us the price and source - OR maybe
you just have a great source that we haven't looked (Demco, Highsmith,
Brodart).

A couple stipulations:
- we don't want a wire rack because slip around and through the wire.
- we often have 8 1/2 x 11 paper and want something that won't "flop"
over.
- this will be in the Children's Dept. so something fun or kid-friendly
would be great - just not something super big.

TIA!

I'm curious about how other libraries handle lapsit
programs.  Do you limit the number of children and
caregivers who can attend?  Do you register the child
for the series of programs?  Thanks!

This is in response to Marta's question...Each year at my branch, we have a
"Coffeehouse," where the kids can read poetry that they've done, or
(especially for the younger kids) we have typed up poetry from well-known
poets. We serve hot chocolate, play jazz and let the kids play chess and
checkers in the audience as long as when each poet is done they give the
special snapping fingers clap. It's worked out very well, and this year we
are going to try it with Caribbean poets specifically. -Erica
