Hello All,
I would like your recommendations on Internet filtering software for use on
our children's computers. We currently have Net Nanny 3.1, but that
version
is no longer supported and I am in the process of exploring whether to buy
the new version or go with a completely new product.

Hi Gretchen,
One of my favorite "mud" crafts is to fingerpaint mud paintings using
chocolate pudding. Needless to say the kids love it and clean up is a
breeze! Have fun.

It's snowing in NW Ohio on the 3rd day of Spring ~ aaarrrggghhh!
OK, to the business at hand ..
I talked with the children's librarian who orders our music. She
showed me a catalog she uses, Educational Record Center (1-800-438-1637
to order). The most recent issue, p. 12, shows a "New! 3-CD Set - The
Ultimate Kids Song collection. All songs recorded in Split-Track
format for karaoke-style singalong fun. Song lyrics included. Ages
3-10. $23.00"
p.27 has Toddler Tunes - 25 classic songs for toddlers - split track
format.
One more source -> Kimbo catalog. She believes the title "Circle
Time"
is a split-track style.
Hope this helps.

How about a rain stick? (The kind you fill with beans or something noisy)
Although I don't have directions, I'm sure you could find them on Internet.

Gretchen,
I'm doing a rain storytime and am using the following craft from my book:
Thumbprint pictures
1. Cut out the top part of an umbrella for each child. You can use
wallpaper samples, construction paper or heavy weight wrapping paper.
2. Have the children glue an umbrella top to white construction paper.
Then
have them bend a pipe cleaner and glue it on under the umbrella.
3. You can have them draw people and/or animals under the umbrella.
4. Have them add rain by pressing their thumbs onto a blue ink pad and then
pressing it onto the paper.
You could also have the kids add a mud puddle to the pictures. You might
want to use washable ink pads for the project.
Hoping you get many wonderful ideas,

When we did rain we made rainsticks with paper towel rolls, toothpicks and
beans. Insert toothpicks through paper towel rolls at different intervals
and then tape over ends so they don't stick or fall out. cover tube in brown
paper, leaving obne end open to insert beans before tasping closed. We then
watched a Little Bear episode about the Thunder Monster and the kids would
turn their rain sticks over every time it thundered. It was spontaneously
done by them and was really cute. For books we read Puddles by Jonathan
London, Thundercake by Patricia Polacco and Rain by Peter Spiers.

i had a very successful poetry night. some kids liked
to read their own poetry, so give some time for that.
also bring a bunch of great poetry books and let them
read some published poetry. we also did some games.
we had a poetry slam where the kids all had to find a
few poems to read or make up their own. two kids got
up and said "my poem is better than your poem" then
the other said " no, my poem is better thatn yours"
basically they got to be sassy trying to prove that
their poem would be better. it game a little bit of
humor to the game. then they took turns reading their
poetry. when they were done the audience members held
up signs with scores from 1 - 10. the winner went on
to the next round ( with a new poem of course). we
kept going until there was one winner. it came out of
a japanese haiku game. i read the history of it
before we started the game. look at
www.ahapoetry.com/shelgame.htm
(the bottom of the
page).
also, i had a buch of word on colored paper. nouns,
verbs, adjectives, ect. each group of kids got a
certain number of nouns, verbs, ect. and then had to
make a poem out of them. if you make the words silly,
it is a lot of fun.
also, make the atmosphere good. put lights onthe
tables, get a microphone if possible and create a
stage like area. dimt he lights so it looks like a
50/60 beat coffee house.
good luck

You can use Bounty Paper Towel for your felt board projects.
Just duplicate your pattern.
Color and cut as desired.
Glue it with a large piece of Bounty Paper Towel (dont use Elmer Glue, it

A patron remembers a book about pioneers who have traveled west and are
having a bad winter in their new settlement. They are in danger of dying,
so a group of them go for help, and a father tells his daughter to keep a
light on in her window at all times. The men then return on Christmas and
find their way home because of the light in the window. Sound familiar?
TIA

Please excuse the cross-posting. I also beg pardon if this has
come up before.
Can anyone give me examples of fiction series OTHER THAN THE
NARNIA BOOKS AND TAYLOR'S LOGAN FAMILY SERIES that were
published out of chronological order, with prequel(s) appearing
after an established series.
I have checked the reference books Fiction Sequels and Young
People's Books in Series.
Thanks.

Bart, (and everybody else--I thought this might help others, too.)
Give our Picture Book Subject Index and Juvenile & Young Adult
Fiction Subject Index a try at www.columbuslibrary.org
The subject
headings we use are Mental Illness; Counseling and Psychotherapy;
Depression; Emotional Problems; Phobias; Schizophrenia.
When you get to our website click on the left side, second item
down--Databases. Then click CML Databases. Then page down to the
index
you want. You get a screen with all the indexes we do in-house.
Click
the appropriate index again.
You are presented with a screen. First click Advanced and then
change the set size at the bottom to 25 so yiou get more hits at a time.
Type in your subject heading(s). The software does Boolean searching so
you can OR three terms together. When you get your results, clock Sort
and then Author at the top. Voile! You have an author alphabetical
list.
Nice thing is that you also get the other subject headings the book is
indexed under. Sometimes that helps you make your selections.
AND...the fiction index even gives page # and grade levels!
Let me know if this works for you. We've been indexing for nigh
onto forever and, though not an evaluated list, it is pretty complete. -

The answer to my stumper is "Slop!" A Welsh Folktale retold by
Margaret
Read MacDonald. Many thanks to Ruby, Janice, Betsy, Josephine, Judy,
Theresa and Mary for their quick replies. . . my patron will be thrilled!
Here was the stumper: A man and woman are preparing a meal, and dump their
scraps or waste
outside the window. They unknowingly dump it on the home of a little
man,
who must constantly clean up after the oblivious humans. When he finally
confronts them, they start a compost heap farther away from their house,
and learn a few lessons about waste management.

I suggest you contact the Children's Museum in Indianapolis as they have
an
excellent program and even have a check it out there and bring it back

I'd like to highly suggest "The Meliken Puppets" as puppeteers (out of
Bolingbrook, IL) for anyone needing a puppet show. It is a father and
son who come out and do the shows and Lavergne I think is the name of
the wife of the elder who books the shows. I remember them from my
childhood and in the last year had them come to a library that I worked
for and they were loved by all. Their shows come with sound effects and
seem very realistic! And, yes they travel around the country.

Once again I find myself seeking the collective memory of pubyac. A patron
came in today looking for a book she thought might be in our collection. It
is an old book but she doesn't know how old. She doesn't know the author
or title. What she does remember is that siblings go underground to locate
another friend who is lost. They go through a door under a tree,
maybe. They enter into an underground world of mushrooms and miners.
They
have an adventure ala"OZ" or "Wrinkle in time". Does
this vague
description ring any bells? Reply to sakowski@grayson.edu.
Much thanks in
advance. Belinda

Greetings,
After several years of lurking it is finally time to come out of the shadows
(so to speak.) Several years back our library purchased a VERY large
stuffed Humptey Dumpety. Well time, alot of hugs and the misplacement of
it
in front of a sunny window has finally rendered Humptey unfixable (yes thats
right all the kings horses and all the kings-men could not put him
together
again.) His passing is going to be missed, so if anyone out there knows of a
place to purchase him please email me directly. We originally purchased
him
through DEMCO and they no longer carry him.
Thank you

Hello! My Library is considering adding the option of key tag library
cards. There are very few other libraries near me that are doing this, so
I am asking all of you for input. While the patrons have said they would
like this option, I am worried the key tags will not hold up very well.
If your library has been using key tag cards, please let me know how they
have been holding up and if you and the staff are happy with them.
Also, please let me know where you purchased yours and how thick the
plastic is. All responses are very much appreciated.
Thank you!

Hi Helpful Folks!
The theme of New York State's Summer Reading Program is "Splish, Splash,
Read!" A bright new community pool has become a popular feature of one
member library's small lakeside town in Western New York. The librarian
would like to conduct at least a portion of the summer program
poolside. Suggestions have included the following: partner
with pool
staff, coordinate any programs prior to swimming, include in-pool
activities (for example, a treasure hunt or dancing), conduct a separate
series (possibly second series) at the library to encourage visits,
include reading time at poolside on beach towels, and incorporate
swimming related prizes.
Has anyone coordinated any community library programs poolside? Any
advice, recommendations or warnings would be most appreciated.
Thank you for your assistance.
Marie Bindeman

I had several people respond to my question & I just

about the 2 pigs who find hidden treasure in their
pigpen is "Pig Tale" by Helen Oxenbury. We no longer
have this in our system but I've told the patron (who
was very impressed with the quick response!) and we're
going to try to interlibrary loan it. Thanks everyone!
