We are in the process of building a new library branch and the shelving
units the architects/interior designers are recommending for our easy
picturebooks includes bins. The bins are on the top of the shelves with
one row of regular shelving underneath each one. Do any of you have
experience with this type of shelving? If so, what are the pros and
cons? What about keeping the books in order? Are they easy to find?
Any responses would be appreciated.
Thanks,

If you know of a source of nursery rhymes in any of the following languages
I would appreciate your help.

Hello Joan
I work in two libraries in adjacent cities and one of the libraries recently
had a 3M self check unit installed. We spent a few weeks providing
assistance
to patrons (we trained volunteers to do this for us) and the results have
been
very positive. We now do nearly 40% of our check outs with the self check
machine and are seriously thinking of adding another. The goal is to free
up
circulation staff to do other duties and to provide better customer
assistance
as a result.
The other library I work at is just beginning a building project and will
definitely install self check machines but not 3M. And right now, the name
of
the system we will be using has escaped me but I can certainly look into it
for you if you wish. This is an exciting time for both libraries and it's
fun
to be in on all the new developments.
Good luck on your building project. It is energizing (and draining!) at
the
same time!
Please feel free to contact me in the future if you want to discuss other
things or if you want additional information.

Subject: stumper: Russian tale of witches and house on cat's legs
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII
Date: Tue, 30 Jul 2002 20:05:27 CDT
A woman in her late twenties came in on her second attempt to find a
favorite book of her youth. She thinks she read it about 13 years ago,
when she was in Junior High School; it was in the school library and had a
blue cover, possibly with illustration, and it seemed like a new book.
It was a chapter book set in Russia. She thinks the plot was: the czar
was evil, and some witches had to find some invisible apples to overcome
him. The witches had houses on animal legs--one had a house on chicken
legs and another one had a house on cat legs, and there may have been
others. I asked her about Baba Yaga--she doesn't remember if that name
was used, but none of our Baba Yaga books were the one, and the witches
were forces for good in the book she is looking for.
We're stumped! Does anyone else know what book she is searching for?
Thanks in advance for any help.

The series debate rages on.
Our system is a bit odd, but it works. If a series is ongoing, we shelve the
paperback copies of it in our Series section, alphabetical by series title.
If a series is no longer publishing new titles it is shelved in the J Fic
shelves by author. If we have hardback copies of the series titles, they are
shelved in J Fic. This system works well for the children, who only have to
go to one place for Mary Kate and Ashley or Pokemon chapters. It is
something of a headache for us though, because it has a tendancy to change.
Series go out of print and have to be moved, and then the kids, the
librarians and the shelvers have to learn a new routine. It does, however
keep the series shelves from becoming overloaded with out of date material.
I have always cringed at the idea of seperating collections up into smaller
parts, because it makes everything more confusing, but after several
attempts at explaining to a ten year old why they have to look in four
places for one series, I have realized that what's easy for the patrons, is
easy for us too.
I'm glad someone brought this up. It's always been a matter of debate around
here, and I'm glad to see other points of view.

Those ideas are so great. I'm surprised that you got an agent to come talk
to the kids. I'd love to do that here. Did you just call up a field
office
and ask them if they did any kind of educational outreach for children? I
never thought about fingerprints and footprints. That is a great idea.
I
think they would have a lot of fun with it. Thanks for posting this

Hi All,
I am doing a Detective Club this summer for 4th-6th graders. We meet for
four weeks. The kids can sign up for all four or just one session.
We read and attempt to solve mysteries the first half of the program
(last week we read to The Mary Celeste by Jane Yolen), then we do an
activity. Week one is codes, week two is inks - disappearing and
invisible, week three is fingerprints and week four we are casting
footprints.
The best part is I contacted the FBI and they sent promotional stuff for
the kids and I have an agent coming to visit and talk to the kids.
I wanted to share this, as I have taken bits and pieces from other's
programs.

Date: Tue, 30 Jul 2002 20:06:01 CDT
Hi! My friend Nicole says that at one time she read a book- kind of like a
handbook or "bible"- that gave the history of the Babysitter's Club.
She
said it talked about the characters and places in the book and how they came
to be. She also said that the first book, Kristy's Great Idea, doesn't
talk
about that. We've checked Amazon as well as the catalogs of 3 other
library
systems and couldn't come up with anything.
We tried Babysitter's Handbook and Babysitter's Bible (under keyword) and
had no luck. Any ideas? Do you have a copy you can loan us? Thanks!
Enjoy
the week.
