Sorry I can't include the original message but....a children's
librarian really ought to know the books to make good recommendations, to
know before hand which might cause controversy (no, I don't advocate
omitting controversy, just being forewarned), and to be able to evaluate
other books in the field. Reading everything has always been my goal.
Do
I actually read everything? Of course not. But we must aim high.
Only
the best is good enough for the young. Our best efforts is part of the
best, in my opinion. - jeri
P.S. What's adult fiction? It has been so long, except for
vacations, that I've read any....but then, I personally think children's
literature is better written than most of the adult stuff I see. - j

The Texas Library Association is hosting an on-line
auction for four pieces of original art by children's
book illustrators Rosemary Wells, Adrienne Yorinks,
and Roxie Munro. Except for one study piece by
Yorinks, all pieces are original art from the
illustrator's books. The proceeds benefit the Texas
Library Association's Disaster Relief Fund. You have
until May 31 to bid so don't delay (one piece from
STAND FOR CHILDREN by Marian Wright Edelman doesn't
even have a bid yet!). Ask your Friends of the
Library group to consider buying a piece for the
children's area or give yourself the gift of original
art. Go to www.txla.org/html/wells/gallery.html
to
see the art and to bid. It's for a good cause!

I did a tea party at my previous library, complete with stories. We had
"fancy" p & j sandwiches cut out with cookie cutters and they
decorated
cookies with icing and various little goodies. We had 2 dozen children and
I provided them with china tea cups -- no saucers. I was fortunate to have
a set of 12 in one pattern, 8 in another, and 4 in the last. I've heard
that some frequent thrift shops to pick up inexpensive cups. No reason you
couldn't use paper/styrofoam, but the real cups give it a nice touch.

What is the copyright situation for putting scanned images of book covers
onto a web page?, eg as part of a recommended books list. Do I have to ask
every publisher for permission?
Thanks,

I think the idea was that teens didn't want to be considered teens and/or
didn't like that term. The common wisdom said they preferred to be called
"young adults". But I've read a few articles in the past couple of
years
that refute this and say interviews and surveys have shown that "teen"
is
just fine. I know in my library, we've decided to switch back to
"teen"
because nobody, including the teens, understood who "young adult"
referred
to. If I said, "Do you know about our Young Adult room?", the teens
said no.
If I asked, "Do you know where our teen room is?", they usually say
yes.
