Do any of you who work in school libraries subscribe to listservs for
high school librarians? I am considering a change in direction in my
career (from public to school librarianship) and thought it might be
useful to lurk on a high school librarians listserv to see what it's all

Any suggestions?

As a New Yorker I am astounded at this question! Why
would one weed a book because a building no longer
stands! The first White House is gone, there is no
real Plimoth Plantation, Atlanta burned, they tore
down Penn Station etc. This whole process where
movies, and TV shows, and now the suggestion that
libraries, should erase the exsistence of these
buildings seems so insulting. They were there, they
are now a part of history and to erase them from
peoples sight and memory seems horrible.

Hi all-
I had a reference question that's not related to books. . . but I thought
I'd
ask anyway. The patron said she saw a television Christmas show back in the
1970's about a father and daughter who were spending their first Christmas
alone, after the mother died. It could have been an after school special.
Does
anyone have any information on this? Thank you!

Hi Everyone,
I have a patron searching for a children's book she read at least ten
years ago. It is a story of a woman who cannot have children.
Fairies
give her a daughter, and the girl has a streak in her hair. Every year,
the fairies return to the daughter on her birthday and bring her a

Any suggestions?

We are in the process of re-cataloging our fairy tales right now. We are
going to class them by country of origin and cutter them by title if
possible. That way, most of the 'jack and the beanstalk', 'cinderella',
etc.. will be right next to each other.
Hope this helps!

Another

I am really stuck on this one!
The patron says she got this one recently. She thought "Friends"

The characters are a giraffe named Gerry, a turtle, and an alligator
(Al). They meet in a park. Al is a bully. It is a story that
rhymes.
That's all I have and I sure can't find it in our system! I've asked
others as well. A to Zoo has bullying as a category, but nothing listed

I find songs and fingerplays to be very useful for bridging the language
gap, perhaps because music is not just about words, and also because of
the motions we do along with the words.

We are in the midst of a 30 day trial of the above

Hi!
I first want to say what a wonderful resource you all are! I am new to
Children's Programming, & the advice and suggestions you all give are so
helpful!
I had a few questions that, hopefully, you might be able to help me with.
I
am trying to develop an ongoing program for elementary children (3-5th
grade). A few thoughts I had were a general "After-school
Fun"-type
program, or a Story Hour. Can anyone recommend a program that they've
found
works for this age group? For those of you who have Story Hours for this
age group, can you recommend a format (do you read several books/one book;
do you do crafts/activities?)
I know I'm asking alot of questions- thanks for all your help!

Date: Thu, 14 Feb 2002 12:47:00 CST
I enjoyed Mary Gonzalez's post on Black History activities for preschoolers
in which she wrote:
I tell them that if it weren't for George Washington Carver, we wouldn't
have peanut butter. Children in the rest of the world still don't have
peanut butter, even today. It's a very American food.
Thought you all might enjoy hearing a story that corroborates this. I once
included a jar of peanut butter in a holiday package of goodies I sent to a
Ukrainian family I write to. The daughter, then about 11, loved it so much
that she requested peanut butter for her next birthday present! I sent a jar
of smooth and a jar of crunchy, and she and her dad made short work of them.
The next time I sent a jar, I enclosed my recipe for peanut butter cookies,
an unheard-of delicacy there!
Doesn't this give you a new appreciation for an old stand-by? :-)

We currently have our children's paperbacks spine out on spinners. I

covers face out) or book store type shelving with some of the books spine
out and then a group of them face out.

Keeping things simple and choosing shorter books helps quite a bit.
Repetition is also a great way for non-English speaking children to learn
the songs, fingerplays and structure of storytime. If you can identify the
language spoken knowing a few key phrases shows respect for their language
and other children can learn them as well. Using total physical response
by
cuing with gestures for silence or to participate are used in ESL classes.
Have fun!

We just changed our fairy tale cataloging--we used to carry out the decimal
many digits after the 398, but now we have shortened it to J398.2 and then
the country beneath this on the label, and the author. Our collection is
not enormous, but this change will hopefully make things easier for
EVERYONE!

We currently catalog our 398's in J398 or J398.2 with only a few books
going additional numbers past the decimal point. Our collection is large
so we are looking at cataloging by country using Santa Monica Public
Library's modified "Dewey". For example: J398.241 for tales from
Scotland
and Ireland, J398.244 for tales from France, J398.251 for tales from
China. Please let us know how you catalog your folktales. Thanks.

In our system we catalog 398.2 CIN for cinderella stories of any kind, 398.2
HAN for Hansel and Gretel, you get the idea. For foreign tales we use
398.209 IRE for tales from Ireland, 398.209 GER Germany, again, you get the
idea. This works well and they are very easy to find.

A game I recently found out about that I think would
appeal to your age group and the number of kids is
called "Who will be my sweetheart?" Each child is
given a handful of grass seed (in a napkin or small
paper cup). Then one at a time, they drop the seeds
into a bowl of water and stir it a little with one
finger. When the seeds stop moving, they are supposed
to look at the seeds on the water and try to find an
intial in the pattern. Their "sweetheart" will be
someone whose name begins with that initial. So it's
kind of fun to see the kids trying to "read" letters
from these seeds and kidding each other as to who
those "letters" might represent. As each child
finishes, the seeds are discarded and a new bowl or
water starts things over for the next child.

There's an article titled "In the Aftermath" in the Oct. 8, 2001,
issue of
Publishers Weekly that relates to this subject. Near the end it mentions
that Knopf has decided to keep the planned cover for a picture book titled
Lisa in New York, by Anne Gutman, due out next month (March 2002). It shows
bunny Lisa in a boat in New York harbor with the NY skyline behind
her--including the twin towers. The book's editor, Janet Schulman, informed
sales reps that Knopf felt that "the twin towers are part of our history
and
they are not going to disappear from the images that represent New York and
the USA for many, many years. We loved this cover before, and we love it
even more now. For us it is a treasure and a remembrance."
This may give you a new slant on weeding/keeping books that show and/or
discuss the World Trade Center towers.

Hi Carole!
I have done this type of thing in the past and it can be overwhelming, if
you
don't have a bag of tricks to draw on. I've focussed in on new materials,
seasons, holidays, specific genre, contemporary issues, current events,
travel
ideas, crafts, poetry, specific authors, programming publicity, interviews
of
special guests, descriptions of upcoming programs, a discussion of library
services, a suggestion box, and ideas from Chase's Calendar of annual
events.
It's great PR. I got more feedback about it than I expected! Good
Luck!

In "Alleyside Book of Flannelboard Stories" by Jeanette Graham Bay,
1991,
there is a story with patterns on pages 167-174 called "Blowing
Bubbles."
Fingerplays:
"Bubble Bath"
Bubbly, bubbly bubble bath,
(wiggle all ten fingers)
Filled to the top,
(raise fingers overhead)
Listen to the bubbly bubbles,
(cup hand to ear)
Pop! Pop! Pop!
"How Many Bubles in the Bath Tub?"
Begin with children seated in a circle. Tell them you are making bubbles.
As they are tapped, they may "Bubble up" by jumping to their feet.
Use
this little chant for making bubbles:
Rub a dub dub,
Scrub a dub dub-
Count the bubbles
In my bath tub!
1-2-3-4-5
(and so on until all children have "bubbled up" and are
standing)
Bubbles,
Bubbles,
Hop, hop, hop.
(children all hop)
Bubbles,
Bubbles,
Pop! Pop! Pop!
(clap three times and all sit down)

Carole Blossom asked about newspaper columns. Our public library has a
weekly column that is very well received by the community, but it is
shared by different department heads. The children's librarian writes
it about every four weeks. When I was children's librarian, I did it
every three weeks. Although I've been gone from the library for almost
3 years now, I still run into people all over town who remark about my
columns. I find that amazing. I enjoyed writing them. I think
it is
helpful to keep some kind of list or notebook of ideas so that you have
a source to draw on when you just can't think of anything. I wrote
about new books, books on a theme, issues in children's/YA literature,
events in the children's/YA lit community, whether at the library or
somewhere else in our region, award books and how they are chosen,
programs, etc.
Good luck! It's a wonderful opportunity to showcase your library,
services, and programs.
