Christine:
We circulate 6 LeadPad kits. We made up kits with 1 leappad, 3 books,
headphones and adapter. They are wildly popular and we haven't had one in
since they became available in June. They circulate for 3 weeks.
In fact, we just won a matching grant from LeapFrog SchoolHouse to purchase
3
more kits and individual books (which is what our patrons really want...
they
already have the leappad, they want the variety).
I say go for it!!

Hi Theresa. Sounds like fun. One of my favorite rhymes that gets everyone =

To all Pubyacers
Just wondering if anyone out there has a suggestion for a wall covering
that is durable. After one year of wall displays on a particular area of
our newly built children's room the paint job on the wall is a disaster.
Does anyone out there have a wall surface that is non destructable by
staples or tape, etc. We definitely have a poor grade of paint on the wall
and that will be rectified but I am still wondering if there is something
else out there in all these newly built libraries. Appreciate any ideas.
Thanks- Jodi Dolman, Islip Public Library

Hi, Everybody,
Quite a few years ago I had children make windsocks at an
afterschool program. Of course, I can't find my notes and don't
remember what kind of materials we used. I think the windsocks were
made to be placed outside, so they wouldn't have been paper. This was
before craft foam, so it wasn't that. Have you made windsocks with your
patrons? Please send me any and all details. Thanks very much!

Hi Everyone!
Our library has been programming for this age group for the past five years
or so. We originally had two separate programs, one for K-2 and one for
3-5. We then split it out further (we built a bigger building with more
staff and could do so) and now program for K-1, 2-3, 4-5. 6th and above is
programmed by our Young Adult department (following the schools--Jr. High
starts with 6th grade). We do have kids that go through all these levels
and then up to the young adult department (we have a very active Teen
Library Council). However, as the kids get older, attendance does drop at
these programs. In our area many of the kids are scheduled to the hilt and
just don't have time to participate (sigh). Also, we used to include sixth
grade in our programming and always noticed a HUGE drop in numbers. Kids
we had seen as fifth graders in the library every week, we would no longer
see as sixth graders. In talking with their parents we learned the
homework load was so intense they didn't have as much time to come to the
library! This may also affect the numbers of young adults who participate
in library programs.
I know others have questioned if there are articles about programming for
this age group. There are very few. My co-worker and I have been
trying
to work on putting together one, but as always, time is a huge factor. I
would be happy to help anyone who has any questions about types of programs
we did in the past or how we structured our programs, etc.
Good luck to you all!

Howdy Pubyac,
I had quite a few requests for the dog activity info, and since I'm terrible
at typing e-mail addresses, I thought I'd just post them all. I apologize
for the length. For those of you who asked, the no-bake dog biscuits were
for the kids to eat, not for dogs. and here's the recipe.
1 cup karo syrup
1 cup white sugar
1 1/2 cups peanute butter
microwave on high for 2-3 minutes or until it bubbles
Mix in eight cups of rice crispies and 1 cup chocolate chips. Make any
shape you choose and let sit for 30 min.
Thanks again for all your input,

and here are my replys:
We did a dog film festival, and showed the old live action films
"Harry the
Dirty Dog" and "Harry and the Lady next door" and in between we
sang songs
and told jokes. Here is an easy craft (call it origami and they will go
nuts):
Craft: Origami Dog- paper square folded in half diagonally. Fold
down
corners for ears and draw on eyes and nose and spots. Glue red tongue to
inside.
This age is not too old to enjoy jokes and songs:

The Paws on the Dog (tune; Wheels on the Bus)
The paws on the dog go trot, trot, trot.

The nose on the dog goes sniff, sniff, sniff...

We are dog nuts around here, and have collected props galore. If you have
time to make some things, let me know and I will send directions for: dog

Chrissy,
It's not a game or craft, but we had a seeing eye dog group come in with
their puppies and the kids really enjoyed this program. They talked about
what the dogs do, showed a short video, etc. Everyone loves puppies!
Perhaps you have a similar group around your area?
Not exactly what you asked for, but I thought I'd send it along any way.
Good luck!

How about having each child write a paragraph on an animal trick and how to
teach it and you can print out responses in a little booklet - A Kid's (you
can presonalize that) Guide on Teaching an Old Dog New Tricks! (or something
more catchy! Good luck, Melissa
You could make home made dog treats. Or tie-dye bandanas for dogs to wear.

we do an annual puppy shower with the local humane society. we provide
stories and refreshments and they bring some puppies and a few adult dogs
available for
adoption. They talk about spay/neuter, adoption, pet care, etc and the kids
get to pet them. We offer the public "wish lists" for gifts to the
shelter--stuff
like food, bleach, paper towels, office supplies. It is hugely successful.
Another thing we've done is invite therapy dogs. There are several at our
local
hospital and one Hospice dog that visit. Good luck!

Hi everyone!
Well, it's that time of year again. Our library is searching for titles
to supply our mock Caldecott election kits. Here's how our program
works. We provide kits for elementary schools to check out that contain
our Caldecott contender titles, a master voting sheet, and information
about how to conduct a program with our kit. The students vote for
their top contenders and see how their choice matches up with the real
thing. So put on your thinking caps, and if you have any suggestions of
Caldecott contenders for the year, just let me know. I will post a list
of all suggestions that I receive to the list. To start people
thinking, here are a few of my personal favorites from this year:
The Spider and the Fly by Mary Howitt, illustrated by Tony DiTerlizzi
When Marian Sang: The True Recital of Marian Anderson, The Voice of a
Century by Pam Munoz Ryan, illustrated by Brian Selznick
Fireboat: The Heroic Adventures of the John J. Harvey by Maira Kalman
Thank You Sarah: The Woman Who Saved Thanksgiving by Laurie Halse

Hi All,
I know this has been discussed before, but at the time I didn't pay much
attention because it didn't apply to me. Well, now it does.
A community organization would like to videotape a storytime and use
clips in an educational video. Does anyone have any idea of the
copyright issues involved? The organization is non-profit, they will be
giving the videos away. The storytimes include books, fingerplays and
flannelboard stories.

Subject: Ongoing program and crafts
Date: Wed, 23 Oct 2002 20:51:30 CDT
Has anyone done a weekly program where a short novel is read and the
kids do a different craft every week connected to the book? Last year I
did a four week program and read Number the Stars by Lowry aloud while
the kids worked on crafts tied into the book. We made bookmarks and
laminated them using love, peace and kindness as themes, made friendship
bracelets, and shared snacks together. I have been battering the brain
cells for an idea this time around. Any suggestions? The group
consists of 4th, 5th, and 6th graders and usually it's mostly girls.
(I've already done Harry Potter to death!) Thanks, you can respond
directly to me, if it's easier.

children's room - this is where you, the experts come in - i seem to be
coming across some wonderful books to purchase (thank you linda for your
list on GNM) but i'd love some recommendations for videos - or even

you've run across?)...or pamphlets or newsletters - email me directly

Dear everyone:
I'm am trying to close out a grant to purchase easy readers (or beginning
readers or whatever name you prefer). I have already reordered some of the
classics as well as purchased the ones recommended in journals I
receive. Do any of you knowledgable folks out in library land have any
suggestions? I am looking for books at the easiest levels (from a few
words to a few sentences a page, possibly with chapters). Around the same
level as Amelia Bedelia, Henry & Mudge or Little Bear (and a bit up or down
from there). Thanks for any help that you can offer.

Hi,
I have a patron looking for a book she read as a young girl about 10-15
years ago. All she remembers is that the main character in the story
runs away to the woods, takes some clothes along, and makes a peanut
butter, banana and honey sandwich.
Any ideas would be great!
Thanks,

Mark your calendars!
In conjunction with her visit to the Texas Book
Festival, acclaimed author and illustrator, Rosemary
Wells will present a free program for librarians,
teachers, and child care providers (no children,
please). Sponsored by Austin Community College and
Austin Public Library, Rosemary Wells will talk about
the importance of reading to children, especially
those who are often labeled as "at risk" for learning
difficulties. The title of the program is "Our
Children at Risk."
The program will be held on Friday, November 15 at the
ACC Highland Business Center campus, 5930 Middle
Fiskville Rd., Room 201(near Highland Mall; plenty of
free parking; map at

The planned schedule is as follows:
3:30 - 4:00 book sales and autographing
4:00 - 5:00 presentation & Q & A
5:00 - 5:30 book sales and autographing
The schedule has been arranged to maximize the ability
of teachers and school librarians to attend the
program while meeting the needs of Ms. Wells'
schedule. Ms. Wells is donating her time to ACC and
APL, and Austin Community College is donating the use
of the meeting room. Proceeds from book sales benefit
the Friends of Austin Public Library.
Discover the World of Rosemary Wells at
www.rosemarywells.com. Her
latest books include
Getting to Know You!: Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II,
McDuff Saves the Day, Wingwalker, and Read Me a Story
(Yoko and Friends School Days). She is also the author
of the very popular, Read to Your Bunny, and My Very
First Mother Goose. Her characters and stories are
also part of the PBS Kids show, Bookworm Bunch. A
packet of information and resources for schools and
libraries to use with Read to Your Bunny is available
through the Texas State Library at
http://www.tsl.state.tx.us/ld/pubs/readbunny/index.html.
RSVPs are not required but if you know that you will
attend please send an email to wellsprogram@yahoo.com.

This is not really a stumper because I am not even trying to track down

visit the other day, an eighth grader asked if I could remember a book
about a girl who was pregnant. And was wearing a green blouse. It

of course got lots of great books on baseball. I looked in A to Zoo but
did not find it helpful. Has anyone out there ever developed a booklist

Any help is appreciated!

I have a customer who is looking for fictional books from an animal's
perspective. He says he read them in the 2nd or 3rd grade in the late
1960s. He thought they were by Herbert Zim, but after looking at those
books does not believe that is the case anymore.
He says, "they were fiction (but intended to be realistic), chapter books,
and I believe several of the animals were owls and snakes. Each book was a
1st-person description of a portion of the animal's life, from the
perspective of the animal. They descibed their eating, surviving, and
experiencing the world around them."
Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank you!
