Dear Wonderful Folk,
I need help in purchasing magazines for my Teen area. If you can
send me
the names of your 5 top circulating magazines for girls, and also for the
guys, I'd appreciate it! I will compile results for the list if there's
interest.
I currently have Seventeen, Teen People, and YM for girls. Teen and
Jump
have ceased publication. The "boy" titles are Mad, Nintendo
Power,
Thrasher, and Beckett Baseball. I need a couple more to round this
out--thanks!!
Deirdre

Iowa library keeps ban on teen advice book
http://www.freedomforum.org/templates/document.asp?documentID=16703
"The public library board rethought its action in banning a teen advice
book last month, then voted again last night to keep the book off the
library's shelves."

Free People Read FreelyŽ
"Intellectual Freedom is the right of every individual to both seek
and receive information from all points of view without restriction.
It provides for free access to all expressions of ideas through which
any and all sides of a question, cause or movement may be explored.
Intellectual freedom encompasses the freedom to hold, receive and
disseminate ideas."--Intellectual Freedom and Censorship Q & A

Well, I think I figured it out...
Almost everyone suggested plastic shoe boxes- great
minds think alike. Other good ideas were using
plaster cat litter containers (like the big Tidy Cat
size) with the tops cut off, using an old map storage
unit, and using the type of shoe hanger that goes over
the back of a door.
I already have the storage thing for the ellison dies,
and I agree- it is worth the money. I ended up filing
all my leftover die cuts in a clear plastic filing
box. This worked well, especially with the hanging
file in there. I also filed my sheets of felt in the
same box. I put each color in a file folder, then
several files in each hanging folder. It works great!
I can pull out a file, take out a sheet, and put the
file back without disturbing any off the other colors.
As for the double wide construction paper, that was a
bit harder. I didn't have enough money to buy any
kind of special storage for it, so I took some
princeton files, lined them up against the wall on the
counter (in a corner, so there was support on two
sides) and slid the paper in perpendicular to the
counter, the widest part of the paper horizontal. For
extra support on the unwalled side, I used a book end.
All the paper stacked this way takes up about 3 feet
of counter space, but it looks nice and it's easy to
see everything. It's easy to take sheets out, but I
wish it was a bit easier to put them back in.
Hope this helps somebody else too! And thanks to
everyone who replied.

I would be concerned too...we have to remember that libraries are the
cornerstones of democracy (as a fellow student in one of my library =
school classes once said...- well put Claire!!)
They are also places where one has the right to privacy, the right to
intellectual freedom as well..this is imperative in a society like ours and
I am glad,
that for the most part, people in this profession seem to feel the same
way...
thank you
