Houston Public Library
DEPUTY DIRECTOR (Exec. Level) - Library Operations
PN# 90390
DESCRIPTION OF DUTIES/ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS
This position offers the opportunity to play a leadership role as a member
of the Library's senior management team in shaping the future of library
services in Houston. Under the general direction of the Library Director,
the Deputy Director's responsibilities include direction and management of
library service delivery from the Central Library, the Clayton Library for
Genealogical Research and 35 branch libraries, children and teen services,
community outreach, materials selection and technical services. As a
member of the senior management team, the Deputy Director will be closely
involved in budget development, including operational funds, private and

responsibility for implementing key service initiatives identified in the
Library's master plan Standards for Excellence.
The Deputy Director serves as an important representative for the Library to
the Houston community and will be expected to serve a key role in the
Library's efforts to build community involvement and use of the Library's
resources. This position serves as the Library's liaison to the Friends of
the Library. The Deputy Director will also be expected to make a significant
contribution to implementation of the Houston Public Library's major capital
investment plan funded by a $40 million bond. This includes the
renovation
of the Central Library, design for which is underway, and over the next five
years the construction of four replacement branch libraries and extensive
renovation of 15 branches and the historic Julia Ideson Building, which
houses many of the Library's research collections. A key goal for the
Library is to become a high performance organization. This position has a
broad span of control and 76% of all Library staff work in Library
Operations. The ability to communicate effectively to the staff reporting to

the management team as the Library works toward achieving this goal, is a
critical skill.

Experience in working closely with community groups and bringing them into
the library is very important. The Library has initiated an aggressive
program to increase services to teens; experience in expanding service to
children and to teens would be an advantage. Must appreciate and work
successfully in a multi-cultural and diverse urban environment. Experience
with and knowledge of library design and of new trends in the delivery of
library services would also be an advantage. Must have demonstrated

Pick some different areas of Science to concentrate on such as Magnets,
Space, Gravity, Water, Air, Senses, etc.
Then find experiments that kids can do either on their own or with your
help. We recently had a Super Science Saturday for families. We had
stations and at each station we had 3 to 6 experiments. The directions
were
on the table along with the materials they would need to use. The parents
read the experiment directions and the kids experimented. If you would
like
specific examples I would be happy to mail them to you. Let me know.

Hello all,
I'm hoping this description rings a bell with someone out there. A

Struelle (or something like that). It's probably from the UK and at
least 15 years old. I know it's vague but if anyone has a lead, I'd

Hello!
Last week a 13 year old girl handed me a note (it was so cute: "Dear Miss
Librarian...") asking for fiction books about girls like her who were going
through puberty. She mentioned how she seemed to be behind some of her
friends in developing etc and wanted to read about girls going through the
same things.
I handed her "Are you there god, It's me Margaret?" right away and
then
struggled to find other books. Since then, colleagues have suggested the
Alice books by Naylor, but other than that, we are stumped. The subject
headings for this topic aren't very helpful... and I didn't find much
fiction in "Best Books for Children" or any appropriate titles in
"What do
children read next?"
If you have any suggestions please email them to me and I will compile a
list for all of us. If you have suggestions of fiction books addressing
similar topics for boys, please send them along as well.

everything on her

I've been given a question by a patron that I need help with. The book was
seen in an elementary school library back in the 1950s. It was a story
about a dog
named Skippy. The father of a family was coming home from work in a
snowstorm and found a puppy. The family could not locate the puppy's owner
so they kept it. The story then is about the life of the family and dog
and at the end, the dog died of old age.

it was a "thick book" where a horse is in a train crash, escapes,
marauds around the local ranches, scares the mayor, gets into mischief -
it gets stuck in mud and a boy rescues it by laying tree branches across
the mud for it to make its way out - the boy finds the horse's owner,
and is given the horse as a reward.
Anyone recognize this?

getting info about other libraries.
So...
I am looking for a library that has a copy of
Madonna's book "SEX". I remember when it came out it
was only available in limited release and a lot of
libraries chose not to purchase it. Also, I imagine
that many who did purchase it have "lost" their copies
since.
Anyway, if your library or one you know about has an
existing copy, could you please let me know.
Thank you!

I've never posted before, but I find myself in need of help from the
collective brain.
I have a young patron looking for a book she said she read about 2 years
ago when she was 5. It was a picture book about a silver tabby cat that
falls out of a tree and loses all her lives - only she has about 100 of
them, and she's still alive. She remembers that the cover was peach
colored and had a picture of the cat curled up on it, and the author's
name was probably near the beginning of the alphabet.
We've tried keyword searches in our catalog on cat, silver tabby, lives,
and every combination we can think of, plus Amazon, with no luck (and
it's not Comet's Nine Lives). Does anyone recognize this story?
Thanks for your help.

Dear Mr. Mondloch,
I am writing to you on behalf of all the Youth Services/Children=92s
librarians listed below. We have been discussing your publication,
SOMETHING ABOUT THE AUTHOR, on an online listserv for Youth Services
Librarians called PUBYAC. We are all in agreement that your publication =
is
a valuable resource, but unfortunately, with the economy the way it is, a=
nd
with many library budgets being cut, the cost of subscribing to SATA has
become quite prohibitive. There is also the fact that with there
being
anywhere from 8 to 10 volumes issued per year, many of us are finding tha=
t
even the shelving/storage of this resource is becoming increasingly
difficult.
We would like to you consider two proposals in regard to SATA:
1. Issue only two or three volumes of this publication per year. Since t=
his
resource is used primarily by teachers/students who are researching the m=
ore
popular/well-known authors, we wonder if so many first-time authors or mo=
re
obscure authors need to be included. Also, perhaps the pictures do not n=
eed
to be so big, and even the font size could be reduced slightly. At its
current cost and volume number I am afraid many of us are going to have t=
o
discontinue our subscriptions.
2. Provide SATA as an online resource. This option would be ideal for ma=
ny
of us and may make it easier for new libraries, which do not have the 133
previously published volumes, to begin their subscription.
We appreciate the time and consideration you give to our request. You ma=

contact me if you have any further questions or information. Thank you.
Sincerely,

Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Date: Tue, 22 Oct 2002 10:51:18 CDT
(Apologies for reposting the following stumper. Our hope is that more
people will see it this time.)
We're trying to help a patron identify a book which she remembers reading in
the 1940's (probably): fiction, a thinish chapter book about a girl who
wanted a dress - probably a red dress - but she couldn't have it because her
mother didn't want her to be vain and worldly. She instead had a grey
dress
with pink glass buttons, as a substitute for a red dress. The story was
set
in the 19th century, in a small town or semi-rural area. The family may
have been Quaker or Amish, but not necessarily.
The big event in this town was the school recital at Christmas or the end of
the school year. The little girl and her brother were trying to memorize
poems for the school performance. Another little girl, a couple of years
younger than the protagonist, who was eight or ten, came to live with this
family, either because she was orphaned, or temporarily without parents.
(Her father may have been at sea, and returned in the end; or he may have
been supposed dead, but really wasn't.) The little orphan tagged along
after the slightly older girl, not quite being a pest, but not very
entertaining either. They spent a lot of time inside (it may have been
winter), and the heroine spent weeks trying to memorize her poem.
When the night of the school performance arrived, the protagonist had to
give up her new dress with the pink glass buttons to the little orphan
girl - who didn't have any clothes of her own to wear (maybe she was
shipwrecked?). The heroine was not pleased, but was a good sport about it.
Then, at the school assembly, the principal asked the orphan if she had any
poem to recite, and she recited the one she had heard the older girl
memorizing, because it was the only one she knew. Having had her poem
preempted, the older girl recited her poem from the previous year, without
complaining. Her mother was so gratified that she decided a red dress
wouldn't make her too vain or worldly after all.
Does anyone recognize this book? We've tried OCLC, Alibris, & Google
searches, using lots of terms, but without success. Patron says it is not
_Thee, Hannah_. We've also ruled out _Plain girl_, by Sorensen;
_Shoo-fly
girl_, by Lenski; or _Winona's pony cart_, by Lovelace.
Please send any responses directly to srcsf@mindspring.com,
as we are not
subscribers. And thanks for any help or suggestions!

We at Libraries for the Future would like to bring to your attention a
wonderful opportunity to participate in The MetLife Foundation Reading
America Program and we hope that you will consider submitting an application
for your library.
Libraries for the Future, with support of MetLife Foundation, is sponsoring
a national book and film discussion series for teenagers and families,
including immigrant-Americans, that will take place in public libraries.
Last year, 12 libraries across the country were selected to participate in
The MetLife Foundation Reading America Program. The success of each of
their programs and the support of the MetLife Foundation has allowed us to
continue the program for another year. This year twenty libraries will be
selected for participation and we are proud to be able to provide this
opportunity for program expansion and invite all libraries to submit
proposals for participation. The deadline for proposals is December 16,
2002.
The program is designed to use literature, film, and the
neutral ground of the library to stimulate discussion that positively
affects the relationship between generations of Americans and
immigrant-Americans. The program is intended to provide a valuable addition
to the exemplary work that so many libraries are already doing with new
populations, families and teens.
The RFP announcement, application, possible themes and program formats and
sample discussion series for The MetLife Foundation Reading America Program
are posted on Libraries for the Future's website at
www.lff.org/news/MetLife.html.

young Native American / Indian boy (maybe 4 or 5 years old) finds an eagle
fallen from a nest, befriends him, and carries him back to his nest along a
narrow walkway up a steep cliff. Then, something happens to the boy
(patron
does not remember what), and the eagle in turn helps him.
We've tried the following, so far unsuccessfully: OCLC; Alibris;
Google;
Children's Picture Book Database at Miami Univ; Loganberry Books;
local
library catalogs.
Does anyone recognize this book? Please reply to us directly at

suggestions!
