When my book group discussed this, we played a quiz game on www.triv.net,
which
was formatted as a "Who Wants to be a Millionare"-type game. It
was alot of
fun
because the questions were truly challenging. There were all types of
quizzes
at this site, including geography, movies, and famous persons, as well as
many
different books.

I believe I got my information from this listserv. According to someone on
the list, if you go to the Blue Mountain (free e-mail cards) web site, they
have a place that lists holidays, and they list National Hat Week as the
last week in August. I plan to either do a bulletin board (July is
International Joke Month!) or a program.

Hello Pubyacers,
I have a man looking for a book that was read to him in the early 70's
about a teeny, tiny, circus performing dog not much bigger than a
mouse. All the other animals make fun of him because he is so small,
but by the end of the book, he has grown into a HUGE dog. That's all he
can remember about it. It's not a Clifford book and we've checked in A

A patron sent this stumper to us. Does it sound familiar to anyone?
I was looking for a
children's book about a little girl named Katrina and a doll that was
made especially for her as a birthday gift. I think this book was
probably published sometime prior to the early sixties, as I remember
reading it when I was about 6 years old. Is there some way to locate
this book without an exact title or author? Seems like a longshot!!

Hello,
A patron is looking for a book/movie called Desk for Billy. She knows
NOTHING about it. I know nothing about it! I looked in all the standard
print sources as well as online at Amazon, Bibliofind, Google, etc.
It could be a pastoral, one-room schoolhouse drama from the 30s or
perhaps a 1990s sci-fi thriller about Billy's alien abduction from his
classroom. Hopefully, one of you will know.

Hi,
Our library is in the process of setting its three-year goals and would like
to investigate new ways of serving the schools and daycares in our county.
I have been visiting the schools to tell stories and to announce our
programs. My library has only me as a full-time children's librarian and
two part-time assistants. Visiting the schools for storytelling really
short-staffs the children's department, so we are looking for alternative
services.
Do any of you have a survey that you send to schools, daycares, and
preschools to determine what new programs they would like to see the library
provide? I would like to reach out to the entire county. I love
storytelling, but I would like to determine the real needs. Thank you.

Our school district is over $7 million dollars in the hole. This means
that they are eliminating all the elementary and school librarians and
all the elementary library technicians, among other drastic cutbacks.
There doesn't seem to be any thing to do to prevent it. Obviously
something has to go. They are also losing many teachers, all music
teachers and p e teachers too - and closing two schools. I am so
depressed! What can I possibly do to be supportive? Anything I think
of (which we don't have time to do anyway) seems like just a drop in the
bucket and an insult to the school librarians. I want to support them,
not try to replace them. We have five schools in our jurisdiction.

Hi.
A patron came in this morning looking for a book she remembers from her
youth--in the late 60's.
She thinks the setting is Japan. A girl receives a pair of red lacquered
clogs and is told by her grandmother to be careful with them.
She ends up playing "kick the clogs" and the shoe breaks. The
shoe is never
the same again.
Any ideas? It isn't "One for the price of Two" which is set in
Japan and
story about clogs with pictures by Anita Lobel.
Please direct your response directly to me and I'll post the answer once it
is confirmed.
Thanks!

Hi all,
We are weeding and updating our professional collection. I am pretty
new to the field and was hoping I could get some suggestions on "must
haves", favorites, and/or new titles for this part of the collection. I
have looked at the ALA Editions catalog but I know there's got to be
more out there from other publishers. I appreciate your advice. Please
email me at amazza@mln.lib.ma.us and I
will compile and post the
responses I get for others who may be interested.
Thanks in advance,
April Mazza

I am part of task group for Lane Public Library to develop staff procedur=
es on
handling unattended children in the public library. Part of our task is =
to
develop a Public Library Safety Brochure to hand to parents. Does any of=
your
library systems currently use such a brochure that does not deal with Int=
ernet
safety but with how to keep your child safe while visiting the public
library???? =
We are looking to include positive statements such as: Lane Library is
concerned along with you on ways to keep your child safe while having an
enjoyable visit to the public library. Here are some things you may want=
to
review with your child before visiting the library.
1. Stay close and in view of your parents while in the library
2. If you feel lost or frightened in the library, go to a librarian (you =
may
want to bring your child to meet the librarians in attendance at the desk=
).
3. Practice "what if" situations at home with your child:
What if you
wandered away from Mommy or Daddy in the library and lost track of them -=
-
what would you do?
4. Remember to use your indoor voice. There may be others in the
librar=
y
reading or studying and we wouldn't want to disturb them.
5. Do not leave the library building without Mommy or Daddy.
Please respond to me directly if you are currently using a brochure such =
as
this or have handouts with similar information.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi Everybody,
We have two stumpers for you.
1) Family lived on a hill where it is always windy. They put rocks
in
their pockets. They polished them and townspeople wanted to buy them.
2) Girl going to the library gets people to follow her and reveals
story. Lost her book/ret. book goes through city.
Please excuse if these descriptions don't make any sense. I'm typing
this verbatim from a note taken by circ staff.
Thanks in advance,

Karen,
In response to your questions about tiny libraries:
I work in a very small city library. My town has population of 1,700. Our
collection is 13,000 items. Follett is out of our price range. The
"circulation system" we are using is Lotus Approach. Our volunteer
"techie"
wrote the macros and it has worked well for us. There are three linked
databases; catalog, patrons, transactions. For our card catalog we use
SuperCat. One drawback is a duplication of effort in that our card catalog
is not linked to our circulation program.
Hope this helps.

Here in Australia, hats are a popular/important part of summer (skin cancer
protection, etc) - so maybe you could do a "first day of summer - don't
forget to wear your hat outside" kind of programme?
Hope this helps...

I recall that there used to be a National Hat Day/Week/Month, but when I
checked Chase's, all they have is a day for switching from felt to straw
and vice-versa. Do y'all have a special time of year (other than
Easter)
when you do Hat programs? I know you don't have to have a special time,
but it's always fun to announce, "Since it's National Week of the
Chapeau..."

Stumper and maybe an answer:
Girl going to the library gets people to follow her and reveals
story. Lost her book/ret. book goes through city.
Is it Ernst's book: Stella Louella's runaway book? where a girl
leaves
her book throughout town and eventually everyone goes to the library.

A Library Tour scavenger hunt is a good way to keep students attention on a
tour! To write one, make a list if the rooms you are going to tour in the
order you will be visiting them with the students. Then make a question
for
each room. Print them up and distribute with pencils when you begin the
tour. Depending upon how long you want the tour tour to be, you can make
the questions easy or difficult. Easier ones would require the students to
be observant during the tour and to listen to what you have to say. More
difficult questions would require them to look into the resources available
in each room. Be creative and include some humor and you will win some
fans
in the process.
