I JUST finished one---an hour ago! We had a great time. strated with trivia
and went on to games, including a cake walk, and drop the clothespin in the
bottle. We also made graduation caps, diplomas, bows, and drew a monster
under the bed. The snack was doughnuts and grape juice. the web site for
Junie B. has all kinds of great ideas and patterns.

While I can understand your feeling this way about people using their
own
computers in their own homes, I can't understand it in a public library
where other people are also wanting and waiting to use the computers and
can't because people are monopolizing them. We have people who will
stay on
our computer for five hours straight, despite our "please be
considerate of
other people and limit your use to one hour" signs. Their response to
being
reminded of this request is, "Oh, I'll move if someone wants to use
it."
But that doesn't work, since the person you bring over to the computer
almost invariably says, "Oh, but I don't want to disturb him if he's
using
it." It is hard to get them to understand that the person has already
been
given ample time to use the computer that day (and, indeed, that week,
since the people in question are usually on the computers 4-6 days a
week
for those five hours. We had one patron who stayed on for eight hours
straight at times last summer.)
I don't think we understood what your problem was with the long stays;
it sounded as if you just thought kids shouldn't do that.
In our room, we have one-hour signups. Kids come to the desk and ask
how long it will be till they can get on, and we check the signup
sheet. If someone's been on more than their time, that's when we shoo
them off. Since -we- do the signups (first names only), it's possible
for us to keep track.

We have a two hour per day time limit here (not STRICTLY enforced, but there
when we need it!) so that takes care of problems we might have. I agree with
you, people can't just hang around saying "I'll get up if I need to,"
because we also have to accomodate those patrons who will simply turn around
and leave if they see all computers are full. Basically, we are not picky
about what people do (as long as it's not illegal), but we are picky about
the time.
As for people who don't want to "disturb" anyone else, we have found a
way
around it. If patrons don't want someone kicked off, we simply tell them
"Come let me know when you're ready" (we don't take their names or put
them
"in line") because after they've waited and have seen us kick people
off so
others coming in AFTER them can use a compter, they get the picture that
this is the way it's done, all the "regulars" know it and don't give
us a
hassle.
I myself cannot understand for the life of me why anyone would sit for more
than an hour on one of our UNCOMFORTABLE wooden chairs using an internet
computer in a public place. It would make me totally crazy, so I guess I'm
lucky I don't have to do it!!!!

I would love to exchange library cards. I would love
to cover the Christmas tree in my Story Hour room with
library cards from all over this year. Now seems like
as good a time as any to start collecting and I would
be more than willing to trade.

Hi everyone
I have a patron (senior in High School) looking for a book she read
several years ago. This is what she remembers:
"A fiction romance--teen, possibly a series. (but not the Thoroughbred
series) A girl goes to her friend's grandparent's house for the summer
and rides horses. She falls in love with a wealthy boy. The boy breaks
his leg and the girl rides his horse for him in the competition. It was
a small book with a blue cover."
Thanks for your help!

Cathy,
My version is as follows:
The wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round, round and round.
The wheels on the bus go round and round all through the town.
The Wipers on the bus go swish, swish, swish; swish, swish swish; swish,
swish, swish.
The wipers on the bus go swish, swish, swish, all through the town.
The horn on the bus goes beep, beep, beep; beep, beep, beep; beep, beep,
beep.
The horn on the bus goes beep, beep, beep all through the town.
The money on the bus goes ching, ching, ching; ching, ching, ching; ching,
ching, ching.
The money on the bus goes ching, ching, ching all through the town.
The driver on the bus goes move on back, move on back, move on back.
The driver on the bus goes move on back all through the town.
The people on the bus go up and down; up and down; up and down.
The people on the bus go up and down all through the town.
The babies on the bus go whaa, whaa, whaa; whaa, whaa, whaa; whaa, whaa,
whaa.
The babies on the bus go whaa, whaa, whaa all through the town.
The moms on the bus go shhh, shhh, shhh; shhh, shhh, shhh; shhh, shhh,
shhh.
The moms on the bus go shhh, shhh, shhh all through the town
There are actions that go along with it but you could make up your own too.
