children and teens aka preteen); Young Adults are ages 13-19.

The soundtrack to the new movie Monsoon Wedding has a wonderful
song that the women wedding guests sing as mendhi is applied to
the hands of the prospective bride. It might be fun to play
(although it might drive you insane on a tape loop after a

I HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND I HATE TO DISCOURAGE ANYONE FROM COMING TO
MY PROGRAMS. SO THIS IS WHAT I HAVE DONE. IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH A KID,
I JUST STOP, WAIT UNTIL THE PARENT HAS GOTTEN CONTROL, TELL PARENTS THAT I
CAN'T DO THIS ALONE, THE GROUP IS TOO BIG, AND ASK FOR THEIR HELP. THEN I DO
NOT TRY TO READ LONG STORIES, I DO ALOT OF VERY QUICK THINGS AND THAT KEEPS
THEIR ATTENTION, LOTS OF MOVEMENT AND MUSIC KINDS OF THINGS. WORKS WELL FOR

Two tips:
Have stick on name tags on a table at the entrance to the room
and don't start until everyone is wearing one. That way you can
always identify everyone by name.
When things start to heat up, say in a loud voice, "Everyone!
(Point at the group) turn your eyes toward me!" (Point at your
own eyes.)
These work for me.

Hi,
Our library considers Young Adults to be in the 5th grade and up. It's
been that way as long as everyone here can remember. However, several
of the staff here were wondering what other libraries do. What age do
you consider to be young adult? Please email me off the list and thanks

Hi everyone!
I am a
graduate library student at Queens College. I am
involved in collecting data concerning children's picture books with
theraputic values. I would really appreciate it if you could take a few
minutes to answer 3 questions.
Bibliotherapy & Picture Books:
1. Have you, as a librarian in a school or public library ever recommended a
picture book to a child who had a difficult problem?
2. If so, what was the title of the book?
3. What topic or problem did you recommend this book to address?
If you have more than 1 book that is great, just list them. Please reply
to
me directly
I will post the results later!

Dear Brenda,
I recently retired from Children's Services and know exactly what you =
are going through. There are several tricks I found very useful over the =
years.
1. lower your voice rather than getting continually louder
2. be sure to change your volume and tone frequently
3. pick at least one story that allows the children to take part: a =
repetitive phrase or sounds that can be their part of the telling
4. vary the levels of your stories - so that there is something for =
everyone
5. use manipulatives - puppets, flannel board pieces, props
6. when all else fails - put the book down, admit defeat, turn on a =
lively song and join the fun - remember storytime is suppose to be FUN! =
If you are stressed and fuming chances are you aren't giving them the =
best experience possible.=20
Let me add just one more thought. I have read with interest the postings =
about disruptive children and have been very disappointed. No one seemed =
to realize that the disruptive child is frequently the child who most =
needs storytime. If you can grab that problem child and turn them into a =
listener - even part of the time - you have accomplished something =
special. You may even have changed a life. It can be done and if you are =
willing to try you will truly be worthy of the title of Children's =

Hi, Per request, the full question to the stumper which turned out to be
Neeny Coming, Neeny Going by Karen English goes something like this.
A patron was looking for an illustrated book about 2 girls from an island
(off the east coast possibly). One of the girls goes to the mainland and
when she returns she no longer wants to do "everyday type things" like
hanging up the laundry.

Hi All,
I decided to post this to the entire list, because I
added a second question.
In our library system (County of Henrico Public
Library, Richmond, VA) we generally see young adults
as 6th grade-high school. However, this post gives me
an opportunity to ask a question that I often wonder
about. At 24 I would consider myself a young adult,
however in the library world where young adults are 11
and 12, I guess I'm middle aged? : ) At other
institutions, such as my local YMCA, young adults are
consider to be 20-26 or so. Not that I'm planning on
trying to change library lingo, but I am just curious
about how/why libraries began using the term "young
adult" for teenagers. Does anybody know?

According to my Paeleontologist friends the two best series for that
age group are "New Dinosaur Collection" published by Gareth Stevens
of Milwaukee which has a separate book for each dinosaur
and "Dinosaurs of the World" published by Marshall Cavendish which is
a multi volume encyclopedia set. Neither is made to be read by a
really young child as very few 1st & 2nd graders can sound out
ceylophysis or parasaropholus but the pictures are great, the
information is accurate and the books are really thin.

I don't remember who posted it so can't give credit to them. Sorry!
Last Week My Brother Anthony Died by Martha Hickman (Abingdon Press, 1984).
"A small girl named Julie describes her feelings following the death of her
four week old baby brother."
Molly's Rosebush by Janice Cohn (Whitman, 1994) 0-8075-5213-5
The was the most suggested book.
"When the new baby they've been expecting isn't strong enough to be born,
Molly and her family find different ways to express their feelings and
comfort each other."
Morgan's baby sister, by Patricia Polin Johnson. Resource Publications 1993.
This one is 'for families who have experienced the death of a newborn', and
is like a short chapter book.
No New Baby by Marilyn Gryte (Centering Corporation, 1988)
It is told from the child's point of view. The mother goes to the hospital
and they explain that the baby died.
Stacy Had a Little Sister by Wendie C. Old, Judith Friedman (Illustrator),
Christy Grant (Editor
When her baby sister dies of sudden infant death syndrome, Stacy is confused
and afraid, wondering if her resentment of the new baby could have caused
the death.
For adults:
