Hello, Children's Librarians,
I would like to ask the children's librarians for their opinion on the
most useful children's programming print resources. If you will write me
directly at solina-marquis@attbi.com
and tell me what your favorite
print resource is for planning children's programming, I will tally the
results and post them on PUBYAC.
Thank you in advance for your advice.

If you hate hanging bags for those book and cassette sets, Crawford
Industries makes a nice box that fits well on the shelf. They come in
several sizes (I like the 9" x 6" x 1 1/2" and 9" x 12"
x 1 1/2" best), have
velcro closure and a clear pocket for inserting labels, dust jackets, etc.
They have a web site, and the rep., Tom Nolan
(tnolan@crawford-industries.com),
has been very helpful.

This is more of a reference question. But with so many
libraries
out there that takes pubyac, I thought that I would send this poll out
anyway.
With all the information out there on computers(ex.
Magnolia), does
anybody still have folders in a filing cabinet of magazine and newspaper
clippings in them? Example--A folder about abortion or drunk driving,
it has magazine articles, newspaper articles, and sometimes pamphlets in
the folders.
If anyone has an opinion about this, please respond to me at my email
address.
Thank You,

Hi Mary,
It's sort of funny, because a colleague of mine and I were just recently
discussing this question. So I found a few fingerplays, etc., to use with
our Mother's Day storytimes for 0-2 year-olds. Hope this helps!

Your message was forwarded to me by one of our branch managers and I =
thought you might be interested in what we are attempting to do in =
northeastern Indiana. My position of Training Manager has been in place =
here at the Allen County Public Library for a year and a half (although I =
have been with the Library for almost 20 years).
Last year I spent considerable time conducting a needs assessment =
(although I was pretty sure I knew what the immediate needs were). Out of
=
that I constructed a tiered approach: the first tier was to get the basic
=
training together that most staff needed. This included an Orientation =
program for new, recently hired staff. We started that in January with =
some mixed results: the concept needs to be reworked a bit since so many =
of the new hires are part-time staff who often can't attend the more =
traditional kinds of training classes. I'm working on using a combination
=
of videos, CBT and "live" classes for them.
The idea behind having Orientation classes scheduled for the whole year =
and publishing that schedule and a course outline of each class was that =
staff (or their managers) who wanted a refresher course in the email =
system or in "Library Values and Ethics" or any of the other
orientation =
classes could also attend.
The next hurdle with the broadest base of need was training on the various =
Microsoft Office modules. Many of our staff (including myself) were =
self-taught and needed a bit more formal and standardized look at Word, =
Excel, PowerPoint, etc. I'm currently working with a local firm in Fort =
Wayne (who uses Element K training packages) to come up with some kind of =
mix of self-paced tutorials via the Internet and classes with live =
instructors. As you discovered, trying to get targeted staff to some =
centralized training space at the same time is nearly impossible so giving =
people the chance to do learning via the Internet--whenever they could do =
so--seemed the most viable alternate for many staff.
The next tier level is job-specific: I plan to go through our current job =
descriptions with managers and try to arrive at some kind of list of basic =
job competencies that would eventually be included in the job description =
and from that list determine what kinds of training are needed to support =
those competencies: readers' advisory, how to properly strip wax from =
floors--whatever.
The next tier is intermediate and advanced training that is an extension =
of basic courses on such things as the phone system, the email system, =
etc.
After that comes a tier of cyclic training for managers: how to do =
performance reviews, hiring interviews, etc.
The final level are those specialized workshops and training opportunities =
that are offered once and probably not repeated: how to use a new =
electronic database, or how to set up, adjust, and maintain the new HVAC =
system.
In addition, we have offered, and will continue to offer courses that are =
not specifically job related but certainly are connected to the overall =
"health" of our employees: stress management, dealing with aging
parents, =
etc.
If this in any way helps your process, I am delighted. We have a long way
=
to go, but at least we have some kind of outline to follow.
If I can clarify or expand on anything I've tried to outline above, please =
don't hesitate to email me.

A wonderful book is A You're Adorable by Martha

The picture book has the music in it too.
Hope this helps!

Hi all,
We're having a sleepover at our library in May, and I'm looking for a good
pirate short story to read aloud. We're having kids aged 9 and up.
Does
anyone know of some good pirate read-alouds?
Thanks,

Hello all, I am trying to find out if there is a Kentucky picture book
author that is either well known, or really good and should be well known,
that I can recommend for a project that I'm working on. Any suggestions?

Hoffman
Miss Mary Mack by Hoberman
Froggy Went A Courting (I like the
Conover Version for
pictures, but use my own version of the song)

There are more, but that is all that comes to mind at the moment!
Good Luck with your list!
