I have never asked a patron to leave, but I have always tried to give them
permission to leave if they need to (does that make sense?)

Thank you to everyone who sent book poems! I had a blast reading - and
being read to - in a large elementary school last week. (Wearing a hat
that looked like an open book!)

A patron is looking for a book he read as a child. He's in his 30's now.
A
boy pushes vegetables onto his fork with his thumb. A vegetable garden
grows
out of his thumb and lasts until his saltwater tears disolve the garden.
Any ideas?

Dear colleagues:
Since there's been a bit of chatter on this list re: using ASL during
storytimes, I thought I'd send this announcement along. I apologize to
those who do not live in the Los Angeles area; but perhaps you or your loca=
l
library network could sponsor a similar workshop near you.

Subject: Responses to Request for Stories for Bilingual 5th grade:
Date: Sun, 13 Oct 2002 12:17:55 CDT
A big thanks to all who replied to my request on Pubyac several weeks ago
, seeking suggestions on books/stories to read/present to 5th grade class
es that are bilingual.
Specifically, thanks to Marsha Lynn, Odon, Indiana, Marnie Colton, Enoch
Pratt Library, Aurora Martinez, Euclid, Ohio, Mary Ann Gilpatrick & Tina
Hager, Carrolltown, Texas.
Titles suggested:
1. Casey at the Bat
2. Cuckoo by Lois Ehlert
3. Half Chicken by Alma Flor Ada
(Both #2 #3 are in spanish and english)
4. The Rooster Who Went to His Uncle's Wedding by Alma Flor Ada
5. Adelita: A Mexican Cinderella by Tomie DePaola
6. "One riddle, one answer" (literary tale)
Tina Hager had some good suggestions on presenting the original version of
a folktale, then the fractured version or retelling followed by giving
the class about 5-10 minutes to create their own version.
Great ideas, all!
I have not had the chance to use them yet, due to class visit being
rescheduled,
but look forward to trying them out.
THANKS for all your responses and help with this,
Sharon Cerasoli, Children's Librarian

this works great as long as the children aren't screaming -- and most of
those moms have the common courtesy to take them for a time out. I
simply cannot do storytime over screaming. There is the very occasional
one who is oblivious, and the twice ever it has happened to me and I had
to verbally ask the mother to take the child out temporarily. They were
not gracious.
