We are having the same problem with large groups attending the summer
reading
program.
Our solution was to move the storytime out of the library and into the civic
center. Now I'm looking for ideas for interactive storytelling and large
group activities.
Does anyone have experience with large groups.

I called to verify that 'reference computers' did not include Youth Services
reference computers. Upon verification, I asked Joe if he was aware that
Youth Services reference computers are as important as adult reference
computers. He answered," No, I was not."
This statement leads me to one of three conclusions:
Joe is seriously misinformed, and perhaps needs to be made aware of the
importance of services to youth.
It is true that the Automation department views patrons being able to get
into their chat rooms as more important than Youth Services staff being able
to assist our patrons with their homework.

and decide what books will remain in the children's department and what

I just wanted to send a big thank-you to all the PUBYACers who sent me 4th
of July craft ideas and website links. I've chosen a few good ones to do.
I think I'll use some of the fireworks ones, as they also tie in with
'Territory Day' (the day on which the Northern Territory of Australia became
self-governing) which is the 1st of July. The Northern Territory is one of
only 2 states/territories in Australia in which one can purchase fireworks.
'Cracker Night' is popular with kids of all ages, and gives us a great link
to our American cousins and 4th July.
If anyone is interested in a compiled list of responses, just give me a yell
and I'll send it on to you.
Thanks again - and Happy 4th of July!

Hi!
We started using minutes/hours read last summer and it went smoothly. We
use the theme to create something (this year it is bugs) that represents 15
minutes of reading each so that four 'bugs' equals one hour of reading.
When all the bugs on the page are filled in, the child has read 24 hours.
By the way, we have a minimum goal of at least 12 hours which works out to
be 15 minutes a day, five days a week.
I have seen a clock broken up into 4 sections that represents 15 minutes
each that the kids color in.
Hope this helps!

helpful in teaching research skills.
I would look at all that Patrick Jones has written. He has an excellent

Hi there,
I can definitely sympathize with you. I work for one of the busiest
branches of a large system. I too have special programs every week during
the summer. Because of some problems we ran into last year (220 people in
a
room made to accommodate 75), we instituted ways to control the crowds.
First, for the most popular programs we created tickets. Every piece of
publicity stated that tickets were required for entry and would be available
1 week before the program. All tickets were gone in two days. Also,
we did
not give tickets out to daycares. I explained to one daycare provider that
we were very limited on how many people would be allowed in (fire code
restrictions, request from presenter, etc.) and if 3 or 4 daycares were
given tickets than nobody else would be able to attend. I told her that I
will plan a special storytime for her group and that she and the children
could attend non ticketed events. Part of our reasoning was that daycare
providers are paid to keep children busy and entertained during the summer.
It didn't seem reasonable to us to have our meager funds (Friends Group)
used to entertain daycares. So far it has worked out great. A few
grumblings from those who didn't get tickets, but everyone who showed up the
day of the program hoping there would be room got in. If you do use
tickets, plan on about 1/3 not showing up. Good luck.

My feeling is that since you know that you are attracting these groups with
your wonderful programs, you should begin to plan ways to accommodate these
children. Just because children are in child care situations and not at
home with mom or dad doesn't mean they don't need to access our library
services. It will likely take some creativity to do this, but since many,
many children are now in child care, camp, or other group settings, it is
only fair for us to come up with ways to make sure they are exposed to the
literary and cultural offerings a library provides and children need.

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.

Hi all,
We've been keeping track of minutes read for many years now -- really
prefer it to pages or books as we have readers at
various levels of proficiency. This year we have again revised our
system and it is working more easily than ever. Our
program is 8 weeks. Each registrant gets a packet of 8 bookmarks, one
for each week, on which they can record their
daily minutes -- then total it and get a parent signature. Our goal is
for everyone to read (or be read to) at least 2
hours a week. If the participant reaches that goal, they get a small
"prize of the week" and a coupon to put their name
in a drawing for one of several larger prizes to be drawn at the end of
the summer. If they exceed the 2-hour goal, they
get an extra coupon for each additional l/2 hour. I had to create a
limit of 10 coupons per week maximum because some of our
older readers were turning in outrageous sums.
The bookmarks are very simple -- graphic, summer reading logo, Week One
June 3-9, 2002, etc, then a list of Mon____, Tue____, etc. On the back
we have a listing of our special events and sponsors who helped
financially. I'm not sure how we could make it simpler -- very easy for
the user and very easy for the library!! (we also give coupons to
participants at special summer events...)

We had a customer in today with her children that couldn't remember the =
author of a children's book she remembers fondly from her own childhood. =
However, the title she thought she remembered correctly, I failed to find =
anywhere. =20
The title may or may not be And We Moved On. This phrase was repeated =
several times in the book. The book starts out with "so we packed our
=
bags with sweaters and socks . . . "
This would be a picture book. =20
If you have any ideas as to what this may be I would greatly appreciate a =
reply!
Thanks in advance.

I have a father who is looking for his homeschooled children a list of books
that they should have read by their respective grade levels. He would like
this list to also include some of the great classics (Homer, Beowolf, etc.).
I used to have a list when I lived in Mississippi but can not locate it any
longer. I would be grateful if anyone would email or fax or mail a list to
me. Thank you. (One son is 10 years old and his daughter is 7 years old,
baby is just 2 but he's hoping to use the list with all 3 children as they
grow up.)
I am moving to a school library position this next month. I have
relied
upon you all many many times for creative ideas, solutions to problems,
fingerplays, craft ideas and so much more.Thank you from the bottom of my
heart for all you've helped me with these past 5 1/2 years. I will be sure
to recommend this listserv to my successor. Thanks again.

Subject: Statue of Liberty
Date: Wed, 26 Jun 2002 17:47:57 CDT
Hi! As the 4th of July rolls around and everyone's in an especially
patriotic mood, I wanted to let you know that October 28 (a Monday) is the
anniversary of the dedication of the Statue of Liberty in 1886. I would
like to do something special for the occasion and was looking for
suggestions.
One idea I had was reading the new Alan Drummond book, Liberty, and then
doing some kind of a craft. I could write "Happy Birthday Statue of
Liberty" on the top of a construction paper and have it mimeographed.
I
could then print up a small version with the graphics program and have the
kids glue it onto the page. Finally, they could put fireworks in the
background just like someone here recently suggested. Any other ideas?
Thanks so much & as usual I'll post to the list...
Take care,

government, but in the hearts and souls of the American people. It's a
million acts of kindness and compassion on a daily basis that define the
true spirit and the true strength of America. We live in a blessed land.
It's a society which says, you've got to love your neighbor just like you
love yourself. That's the spirit of America that I know."- President

feel happy"- Jackie Robinson
"So many things have made living and learning easier. But the real
things
haven't changed. It is still best to be honest and truthful; to make the
most of what we have; to be happy with simple pleasures; and to be cheerful
and have courage when things go wrong."- Laura Ingalls Wilder
