Does anyone have a sample scavenger hunt (gr. 3-5)
that they would be willing to send me?
I am very short staffed and am trying to run a mystery
club this summer with not much prep time.
Thanks,

Thanks to those who replied (and so quickly!) to my stumper about the boy
and the young man with white hair. The book is called _The Great and
Terrible Quest_, written by Margaret Lovett and published in 1967.
Thanks again!

Hi,
I had a patron request books, preferably fiction, about sexual
abuse by a stranger. I have given her several non-fiction books
and am looking for fiction titles. The books are for a child with
a reading level of about 4th grade. Any help is greatly
appreciated.

Hi Christine, I hope this isn't too late. We are not doing LOTR as a
reading program, but our TAB is planning an event for teens this summer
called Riddles in the Dark I. There will be a scavenger hunt (in the
library so not only LOTR titles will be used). Teams will be given riddles
to solve (book titles) and then they have to go out into the library to
find the book. Inside the book will be the next part of the hunt. They
have made a large mural map of MiddleEarth and participants will be able to
create a hobbit to inhabit the mural. We will display this in the YA area
after the event. They will have a poetry circle for writing ditties about
their favorite characters and of course, food. Swedish fish, blue koolaid
and other edibles they haven't decided about yet will be served. The poetry
circle was first going to be a filk sing (mentioned on the list earlier in
the year as a LOTR project, but our group wasn't keen on the singing idea.
(I thought it a great idea!) Part of the time the room will be lit just
with tiny christmas lights on the ceiling and they plan to use small
flashlights for part of their riddle portion. They plan to have a Riddles
in the Dark II in October for Halloween and then they plan to do more LOTR
oriented activities including Gollum and Smaug riddles (in the dark using
the small flashlights.) In October they will all come in costume.
This
time around, they will decorate a little, mostly the food area.
Let me know what you end up doing as I'm trying to keep some LOTR ideas in
a file. I will look and see if I can find the few ideas that were
forwarded to the list when I queried. If I can find those I will forward
them to you. We received a few replies that people loved the idea,but no
ideas were forthcoming! Karen K. Baraboo WI

I had a little girl come up yesterday before Summer Reading Program
begin ask me about a book. The stumper is a children's book that has a
rabbit named Theodore and a sister and the story is about learning their
manners. I don't think the book is very old. It might have been
published in the last few years. Thanks, Frances Easterling, Magee

Hello:
I have a patron looking for a picture book title about girl who needs
glasses. She finds an unusual store and tries on numerous wacky pairs of
spectacles (think Elton John in the '70s). The patron thinks it was
published in the late 1960s or early 1970s.
Thanks

My Director asked me to pass this along to PUBYAC.
This year we have been actively courting the sixth
graders. Next year they will be at the middle school
and we are hoping they will remain library
patrons...and that they will bring their new friends
with them. In preparation for the onslaught of young
adults we are weeding our very old, outdated and
unused YA paperback collection. When we are done
weeding there will be approximately three books left
on the shelf. So we are looking for inspiration.
What paperbacks should we buy to fill up our YA
shelves?
Thanks, Deb

I am putting together some summer programming for teens
and we would like to do a session--one time, about 1-2
hours, related to comic books and graphic novels. We
have a guy who runs a thriving comic book store who is
willing to come in but wants to know what we want him
to do! Has anyone done something like this? I know we
could have kids swap comics but are there some other
types of interactive ideas you've tried out? Looking
forward to hearing from you!Thank you!

Hello Everyone,
Please excuse my ignorance, but I am headed to my
first ALA conference and was wondering if anyone could
provide some tips, advice, whatever on how to make the
most of my trip.
Specifically, I'm interested in some of the programs
listed in the March American Libraries such as
"Nurturing Connections" and "Early Childhood
Literacy." Generally speaking, as long as the
programs do not cost and are not closed committee
meetings, can anyone go? Also, how much before a
program begins do you recommend getting there?
I realize these may seem like very basic questions,
but I'm really new to all this and have been warned
that the conference can be a bit over-whelming.
Please contact me off-list at xyjones1@yahoo.com
Thanks in advance,
Christy Jones

I had a local comic book store owner come in... He has a couple of =

Ulrich's Periodicals Directory offers reviews. Here's the two I found in the
online version:
Independent Reviewers
(Jun 15, 2002; ISSN: 1078-3326)
A glossy bimonthly for girls from ages 9-15 or so. Fashion, dating, makeup
and accessories are the order of the day here. "GL"'s editor are
definitely
from the "cheerleaders-are-cool" school. The color pink appears in
some form
on almost every page. If you're looking for a pen pal or a way to dump your
"boyfriend," this publication claims to have the answers. The
August/September 2001 issue boasts the cover story: "Conquer Anything! Want
to Make New Friends? Ace a Test? Meet the Guy? We Tell You How!" as well as
letters and contests and Fall Fashion layouts. Even as the lite
entertainment "GL" is intended to be, it does beg the question: how
many
photos of Hello Kitty backpacks or close-ups of nail polish are too many?
This title will certainly appeal to a certain mall-going young public,
however the emphasis on being pretty and popular will seem reactionary to
many librarians. No socially redeeming value. - Doug McClement, Library
Review Service.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----
Magazines for Libraries
(Mar 15, 2000; ISSN: 1078-3326)
Girls' Life is a general-interest magazine for preteen girls. Readers will
find articles and features on fashion and celebrities and discussions about
school, family, and boys. Craft activities, horoscopes, and pen pal
opportunities can be found in Girls' Life. Each issues includes some book,
video, and CD-ROM reviews. Most appropriate for personal subscriptions.
Roslyn E. Wylie
If you go to the original sources (Independent Reviewers and Magazines for
Libraries), you could probably find more information.
I hope this information helps.
