We have a signer come into one of our story times every week. She is not
a library employee, but we contract out to her for that once a week as
well as for any special programs where an interpreter is requested. Any
time one is requested for any program, we have one there.

I posted the dilemma with "Something About the Author" and
"Children's Literature Review" about a year and a half ago. I
too dropped "Children's Literature Review." I did contact the
publisher. I think we should lobby hard that we only want a
maximum of 2 volumes of "Something About the Author" published
each year. And actually 1 volume would be better; or for them to
make it an on-line source. Perhaps they would listen if we all
dropped our standing order and selectively ordered each volume.

Patti, our policy for teacher deposits is the same for patrons. The
books can be kept for 2 weeks while the videos only 2 nights of course
if there are no holds on the materials the teachers can renew the
material (the only change is in remote areas.) this is to ensure
that
others will have the chance to use the material. Since out library has
gone on line to allow teacher to make their deposits we have doubled
the amount of teacher deposits we receive.

Hello!
My library is in the final stages of choosing a new automation system. (We
currently use GEAC).
Our two top contenders are Innovative and Epixtech.
I am looking for any positive or negative experiences dealing with these
companies and their systems, not just limited to the children's catalog.
In
particular, Epixtech has not provided many references, which concerns us
despite the features we like about their system.
Again, if you have a strong opinion about either product, please let me
know. Our search committee would appreciate it very much.

Hello all,
I know there has been much discussion on the issue of summer reading
programs and the actual incentives/variety of programming offered.
I received an inquiry today as to whether there are libraries that do not
offer/provide any type of Summer Reading programs. I thought I would post
and appeal to the collective mind on Pubyac!
I would appreciate any replies/info made off-list to my email. I will be
happy to post the results on Pubyac.
also, are there any recent articles on planning Summer Reading programs that
folks would suggest/recommend?
Thanks in advance for any and all replies!

I have attended 2 workshops on Signing Exact English. Our Children's
Services Dept. felt we should gain some very basic knowledge of signing. I
have been using my limited signing background to do a special storytime
with and about sign language, and have been visiting a classroom of
hearing impaired kindergarten and 1st graders once a month. I sign the
stories and songs we use for the 30 minute program and it is tough, but
fun, too. Our school system uses the S.E.E. system. We have had at
various times others on the staff who could help hearing impaired patrons,
but it is very difficult unless one is fluent. Good luck with your
paper.

Sometimes there are those one or two children in the group that don't seem
interested....it's natural....listening to picturebooks in a group situation
is something that may come later on, developmentally speaking....but just
how to tell the parents and when to tell the parents that their child is not
ready..I don't like making this decision.....I usually do this if it's
clear-cut and a total disruption, but what about those in-between
situations? I'd be interested in anyone's thoughts about this...just
musing...

Hi! I am the Head of Technical Services at a mid-size public library.
We
have a decently large number of deaf patrons that visit regularly, and more
come in due to "word of hand", so to speak!
I am lucky enough to have learned ASL (American Sign Language), and, though
I am not an interpreter (and make that clear every time!) I do sign for
the
lapsit story hour. I have a pair of deaf parents with a hearing infant,
and
they were thrilled that he could meet someone who could both speak and sign.
If you have any questions, let me know....My hands tend to speak, regardless
of the audience.....

Jennie,
I would be
curious to know what the group says as we are
currently facing the same dilemma. As both I and my branch manager are new
to the library, for the moment we have decided to keep the set, though we
have discontinued our subscription due to budgetary concerns. We thought
we
would go though a school year before we discarded it. Neither of us knows
if the schools here do author assignments. If they do, then it is a
valuable resource. If they don't, it is an expensive shelf sitter.

Jennie Stoltz wrote:Hi everyone,
We have had a standing order for "Something about the Author" for
years and
currently own all 133 volumes. Here's my dilemma. Each volume costs
approximately $125.00 and it seems to come out about 8 to 10 times a year
(and with shrinking budgets...) I'm torn as to whether I should discontinue
it. It never seems to be used (or used sporadically by staff) and also, so
much author information is available on the Internet now. I've been a
children's librarian for several years now, and it pains me to get rid of
something like this that I consider a standard. I did discontinue our
"Children's Literature Review" because that took up so much shelf
space and
was not used by patrons or staff alike. How many of you still have this
resource? Do you find it is still used? If I did discontinue the standing
order, would you recommend I keep the older volumes? I guess what I'm
looking for is someone else to tell me it's okay to get rid of it. Any
advice/suggestions/orders/commands are gladly accepted.

Hello Amy,
We are a small public library in the Northwoods of
Wisconsin. We have about 800 videos in our
collection. Half are in the children's dept. and the
other in the adult dept. We have been going round and
round this issue ourselves. Just this week we
discussed it at a staff meeting and decided that
effective Nov. 1st, we will let ANYONE check out any
movie in either collection unless it is an R rated, in
which case the patron must be 18. We may change that
to 17 when we make some phone calls to other libraries
to see what they do. We do tell parents that if they
do not want their kids to have this priviledge, we can
put a blocking message on the computer.
Hope this helps,

Greetings Pubyac
I have recently started an afterschool reading program for 3rd and 4th
graders and it's going better than expected. Unfortunately, it's a little
taxing to be facinating every week and my creativity dried up just two weeks
in. Does anyone have an activity for this age group to go with stories
about dogs? We are reading Ted Wood's Bear Dogs and Gary Paulsen's My Life
In Dog Years. I'm looking for some interactive game or craft that won't
remind them too much of school. E-mail any ideas to cbrobst66@hotmail.com
.
Thanks very much in advance for your help. I don't think I could
half the
stuff I do without your ideas.
