I recently stocked up on Big Books through BWI (Book Wholesalers Inc.) -- if
you use them, they have a section marked Bibliographies, and in there they
have a list of all the big books they carry. I found 30 titles that we
didn't own. You might want to try there.

I'd like to find out how libraries deal with skateboarders who skateboard on
library property - in the parking lot, front steps etc.
Has anyone come up with any policies or procedures - or good way to handle
skateboarders.

In response to Susan Carr's query about unions in libraries, stay tuned for
the May/June issue of Public Libraries magazine (the journal of the Public
Library Association), which will contain a Perspectives column on "The
Benefits and Deficiencies of Unions in Public Libraries."

Just wanted to thank Linette Ivanovich for figuring out the answer to my
stumper about the picturebook of a little girl counting things like ,"I
have
one eye, I have two eyes." The book is _One, Two, One Pair_ by
Bruce
McMillan, and Linette e-mailed me about 2 hours after I posted the question.
We had our local reference center working on this one for a while, and
finally I joined Pubyac and put it on. What a great resource!
Thanks!

My name is ARlene. I've run amer.girl tea parties.
We always begin by everyone & dolls sitting in a circle. I bring a doll,
too. Each of us takes a turn telling our names, name of doll, and how the
doll was acquired-birthday,xmas,etc. This is a good opening activity. We
usually do a few crafts with snacks in between-and end with a lively
girl-scout game called who's the leader-all the girls love the game.
Here's the game instr: everyone stand in circle.
One girl is "it" she has to leave the room-(I usually vol.to do it
first)-when she's gone a leader is picked.
The leader stands in the circle and begins to do an
activity(wave,jump,whatever)-all the girls have to "follow the
leader"-meanwhile, the girl who's "it" returns and has to guess
who the
leader is- (usually not too hard because all the girls are watching her so
as to catch her next move; she has to keep changing the motor activity)-OK,
when the girl guesses who was the leader, the leader leaves the room. A
new
leader is picked by the girl who was "it" before,and so on....
Sorry, for the lengthly explin. HOpe you like it-

Our summer reading theme is "Reading Road Trip USA".
We are looking for a good story to storytell at the
elementaries to promote summer reading.
Does anyone know of a good story to go along with our
theme? Something along the lines of all the places
you can go in a book, or the adventures in books.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks so much for all over your help. Several of you recognized this
title
as The Man Who Didn't Wash His Dishes by Phyllis Krasilovsky and illustrated
by the wonderful Barbara Cooney. Most of you remembered this book as a
picture book copyrighted in 1950. I loved the fond memories from those of
you who have read or told this story to others.
This group is super!!!

We look to BWI's website with TitleTales. You can do an advanced search
which allows you to look at the Big Books that are available. It is a free
service and very easy to use.

If they are bringing their own dolls, you may just want to plan some time
for them to play on their own. Do you know anyone with Barbie mansions,
pools, horse stables, or school sets? If you could get some of these to
place around the room, I am sure the girls would love to be able to play
with their dolls in the "village" you have created. I know that
many girls
don't have the "big" stuff like the cars, horses and houses that are
made
for Barbie and would love the chance to play with that. I was a big player
of Barbies, and that's what I would have wanted to do at a Barbie party.
If
you don't know anyone with the bigger sets you could maybe contact a local
toy store that may be able to lend you their display copy.
Good luck! It sounds like a lot of fun... thanks for the hat decorating
idea -- I would like to do a Barbie party some time, too!

we will be opening a new library soon. I am compiling a list of
professional periodicals for the children's department. I already have
School Library Journal, Horn Book, The Bulletin, Copycat and Book Links. I
am considering Storytime Treasures. Does anyone have another good

Especially storytime or craft related?

We have just had a Library Safety Workshop and we are working on a county
policy dealing with unattended children. We don't seem to have a policy as
such...yet...and it is obvious that we need one.
Would you share with me anything you have pertaining to this topic?
Do you give parents any information regarding such a policy when they get
library cards?
Do you have any signs up listing such a policy?
Do you/have you ever called the police when children were still at the
library at closing??
At what age are children in your library allowed to be "on their own"?
Many thanks for whatever information you are willing to share. It seems to
me that this topic was addressed recently, but I didn't pay any attention to
it.
You may fax or e-mail or whatever. I do appreciate your help.

I am writing a book for Linworth Publishing on using
mysteries with kids. I want to include diversity but
am finding very few mysteries for kids by authors of
color and very few mysteries where the protagonist is
a child of color. I'm hoping that some of you can
point me to some authors or titles I have missed.
I have a few authors like Laurence Yep (Asian American
author and character--Chinatown series)Eleanor Tate
(African American) and Angela Medearis (African
American author, The Spray Paint Mystery) plus a few
single titles like the Case of the Elevator Duck and
Julian, Secret Agent.
I'd appreciate any suggestions and would be happy to
post a complilation. Given the popularity of
mysteries (as Joan Lowery Nixon says, "kids love a
mystery"), I'm surprised at how little diversity I've
found. Thanks!
