COLBURN TO COORDINATE GRANT PROGRAM FOR EARLY LITERACY
PORTLAND, OR - Nell Colburn is the new coordinator for Multnomah County
Library's new C.A.R.E. (Create A Reader Early) project, which is funded by
a federal Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) grant.
Through C.A.R.E., Multnomah County Library will partner with childcare
centers to provide children with the early literacy experiences that
prepare them to learn to read. Colburn will train a corps of volunteer
readers (some bilingual) to provide monthly storytimes in 40 childcare
centers in east Multnomah County. She also will create a bimonthly
newsletter for childcare center personnel and parents, and offer workshops
on early literacy for center staff.
With 25 years experience as a librarian in children's services, Colburn is
a member of the Board of Directors for the Association for Library Service
to Children (ALSC), a division of the American Library Association (ALA).
She has worked as the children's collection manager for Prince George's
County Memorial Library System in Maryland, and for King County Library
System in Washington state, where she established one of the first public
library outreach programs serving the childcare community. Colburn served
on the 1998 Caldecott Award Committee and the 1992 Newbery Award
Committee.
For more information about C.A.R.E., contact Nell Colburn via phone
(503.988.4482) or e-mail (nellc@multcolib.org).

I knew Pubyac readers would know the answer, (as always!)
The video based on "On my Honor" was produced by McGraw Hill
Media in
1989. Apparently it is a 38 min video converted from a filmstrip to VHS.
Thanks to Melissa, Stacey and Judy who sent me the information. My client
and I appreciate it.

Collective Brain,
Patron remembers a late 60's picture book of a old
woman who builds a treehouse and is laughed at.
After a flood, all the townspeople move into the
treehouse.
Any ideas?

I have a patron who is looking for a picture book that he remembers as =
being a new book within the last few years. It is definitly a picture =
book, and fiction. It is *not* any of the nonfiction books on the Ice =
Maiden or other ice mummies.
In the story an Indian finds some bones at the bottom of a lake. The =
bones reassemble themselves and come to life. That is all the patron =
remembers, other than that he was sure it was a picture book.
Thank-you,
Cathy Ormsby

CAPTAIN UNDERPANTS PARTY
On March 23, 2002, 15 participants (mostly boys and some girls) gathered in
the library's community room for our Captain Underpants party.
The party opened with participants sitting in a circle and passing around a
roll of toilet paper. They each had to take anywhere from 1-5 pieces.
Once
the roll was passed, this was the icebreaker game. Each person had to tell
as many things about themselves as they had taken pieces of toilet paper. At
this point, Children's Librarian Barb Scott shared a short, humorous
biography of Dav Pilkey, author of the Captain Underpants books.
Next, it was on to the Professor Pippy P. Poopypants "Name
Change-O-Chart
2000". With the help of a live internet connection, all participants
names
were entered to see what their changed names would be. This was done by
children's librarian Barb Scott (otherwise known as Lumpy Pizzasniffer),
aided by her assistant Sarah Scott (otherwise known as Snotty Pizzasniffer).
The kids had a great time with this, roaring with laughter as one funny
name after another came up.
Then it was on to the Dav Pilkey fact and trivia presentation. Done in
Powerpoint, this presentation first shared photos and little-known facts
about Dav and his books, then tested the participant's knowledge of the
Captain Underpants books. It was evident that there were
Captain
Underpants scholars in the room, as they shouted out answer after answer for
the trivia quiz!
Next, four craft tables were set up and the participants were directed to
these. The crafts done were:
. George and Harold's Flip Books-participants were given a pattern to make
their own flip book (or simple moving picture book).
. Participants were invited to decorate a pair of underwear for Captain
Underpants, as we're sure he gets tired of wearing those white ones all the
time. Once finished, these were used to display with the pictures from the
event in the library.
. Perfectly Portable Pilkey-Powered Paper Pilot Pug-Plane-this station let
participants color and fold their own paper airplanes with Captain
Underpants at the controls.
. Superhero Masks-participants were given materials to make their own
superhero masks. You will some of the results in the accompanying picture!
Once participants had finished the crafts, they were invited to check out
Dav Pilkey's website on several laptop computers that had been set up for
the event. They enjoyed the sliding puzzles, the on-line coloring and
manyother items.
Then, it was time for refreshments! Participants were treated to Toxic
Slime Cupcakes and Day Old Bathwater punch, both of which they pronounced
excellent.
While the participants munched on the snack, Children's Librarian Barb
Scott solicited words that were then put into a Captain Underpants Mad Lib
that was read aloud.
Once everyone was finished with the snack, it was time for games. Two
games were offered: beanbag throw and an Underwear Toss. The
object of
the two games were to win either pieces of candy or coupons.
The Underwear Toss was particularly fun, as a large toilet seat had been cut
from foamboard and mounted on a large white crate, making a milk crate
potty. The object was to get all three pair of underwear (yes, real, CLEAN
underwear) into the crate. They could not hang from the rim of the seat!
Both games proved to be tons'o'fun for the participants.
To end the program, a drawing was held and three winners were selected to
receive Captain Underpants books. The winners were Steven Lantz (aka
Snotty
Liverjuice), Jacob Kocher (aka Poopsie Pottybuns), and Britt Cox (aka Lumpy
Gigglehumperdink)
Once the drawing was held, participants continued to play the games until
picked up by their parents.
