A question for the school librarians on the list: I am not on
LM_NET, so perhaps you can help me.
A patron who is a classroom teacher has been given what NJ calls
an "emergency certificate" to become her school's librarian in
Sept. She will not start library school till January.
She wants to do some reading about her new job over the summer.
I have supplied her with books on children's literature and
general issues regarding children and libraries. I also pointed
her to our state school media association website, which
includes the text of Information Power.
Here's what I would like from you: the top five books on school
librarianship, both practical and theoretical, that you would
recommend to someone in her position.
Thanks.

Hi great collective brain,
We are having a great "Silly, Chilly Summer at the Library" here in
Louisiana- our numbers are up and we are seeing lots of children at all
our programs. Our programs are so popular that we are having problems
with large groups coming to our special programs that are offered at
each branch. We have the usual disclaimer about our storytimes i.e.
groups of 5 or more, please call ahead to reserve a special storytime.
We have special performers once a week during June and July and we have
large groups attending those performances so we can't accomodate large
groups from day cares and church camps etc.
Has anyone out there had a problem with this? How did you handle this?
Any suggestions or ideas would be welcome.
Miriam Boots,
Children's Librarian

A version of this for older kids is to drop blobs of paint on the paper
and give the kids straws to blow the blobs into fireworks shapes. Sprinkle
with glitter as Julia said and they do look cool. Definately cover the
tables as this can get messy and only give each child 1 or 2 blobs to blow
on at a time. I have to admit I only did this with my daughter and a
friend never a large group but they did have fun.

Hi,
How about having the kids make fireworks paintings. It is perfect for
pre-schoolers. Supply red or blue construction paper, and set out red,
white and blue paints. Have them apply the paints with one of those metal
pan scrubber thingies, (you know, like Brillo pads with out the soap).
They
swoosh on the paint with the scrubbing pads and then sprinkle glitter on the
paint. When it is dry it looks like fireworks. Have fun!

Hi, Thanks very much to everyone who responded in
reference to holding a teen comic book program. In
case you missed responses, other libraries have had
comic book store owners/managers come in to talk about
comic books and graphic novels covering the topics of
collecting, history of comics, what's popular, how
comic books are made, comic book sites on the internet.
One library invited a local comic book writer to show
kids how to make a mini-comic. Another had a store
owner show the different stages of comic book
production. One had a store owner, as part of a "Cool
Careers" program, talk about his job and his interest
in comics. We will be having our program in mid-July
and I will let you know what we did and how it went.
Again, thank you for your generous responses.

Hi Marilyn. Here at Gulf Beaches Library in Madeira Beach, FL we count the
number of days that the kids read. It used t=
o be the number of minutes, but that got way too complicated (even for a
small library like us).

Dear Pubyacers,
We are in the midst of our summer reading program this
year. This is the first year we have counted minutes
read instead of the number of books read. I would
like to hear from other libraries who count minutes
and learn how you keep track of the time read. Our
method of keeping track of time read needs
improvement.
You may reply to me at fcplchildren@yahoo.com

Hi to everyone,
I am starting a Teen Advisory Board at our library.
Having visited many web sites of other libraries with
Teen Advisory Boards, it seems that one function they
all serve is to advise libraries on what to buy as part
of the young adult or teen collection. My question is
this: do you set aside part of your budget to purchase
multiple copies of books for teen board members to read
as review copies or are you lucky enough to get free
copies from publishers? If the latter, how did you
accomplish this? I would love to hear about any and
all experiences and will be happy to share information
back with the list. Thank you!!
