Hi,
When I had a lock-in two weeks ago I showed some feature films. I e-mailed
the MPLC (mplc.com). They charged me $50.00 for the one night event.

We would like to offer a mini-film festival at our library this
winter. I'm looking for a source for videos which would offer public
performance rights for one time showing at the library. We are aiming
the program at young adults. So far all sources for films are too
expensive. Help!

Hi Tammy,
Take pictures (digital or regular) of the projects & post them (website or
bulletin board). Have the kids write something about their project as way of
explaining & good publicity. Please forward other ideas. This sounds like a
fun program.

If I had scarves, I would use them to music with toddlers, letting them =

on..) or do sorting by colors (if you have a green scarf wave it high, =
if you have a green scarf wave it high, wave your scarf way up high, =
let's see those colors fly, if you have a green scarf wave it high! =
tune: happy and you know it-repeat for other colors)
I have more ideas, I just don't want to pay 6 bucks a piece for scarfs =
that toddlers will eat/suck on etc. =20
Anyone out there know a good resource?

If the organization would agree to only use snippets (preferably mute)
showing you sharing a small portion of a book, you would be ok in terms of
fair use. If the reader is shown and heard reading more than a snippet or
the whole book, you should seek permission from the publisher of the books
used. Since the organization plans to distribute the video (free or fee
doesn't matter...it's up to the copyright holder to determine the fair use
on this), it is doubly important that you seek this permission.
If this is too stringent for the organization, you can suggest they only
videotape the fingerplays, folk tales or flannelboard portions of the
program that don't fall under copyright. You can always ask to have final
ok over the content to make sure they (and you) are not violating copyright.

A community organization would like to videotape a storytime and use

we have a whole wall in our children's department that is covered in self

Check the American Cancer Society. There is a small press books called
"Chemo Shark." Another one is called "When Eric's Mom Fought
Cancer" by
Judith Vigna. Published by Albert Whitman & Company, Morton Grove, Illinois.
There aren't too books out there. My wife wanted to write one about a white

The Bear's House by Sacher - so games that address diversity and
encourage tolerance would also be great. This is a group of about
100 people - but we also can break into smaller groups.
Any ideas that you might have would be greatly appreciated!

We used this same poem, but with twist. Give each child a piece of bubble

"POP". It really sounds like popping corn.

Hello all,
I have an extremely bright young lady patronizing my library and her mother
has asked for a reading list suitable for her. This child is 6 years old,
in the third grade, reading at the 10th grade level.
I need to find some titles that are juvenile, but not boring. Her mother
doesn't want her reading some of the sexually explicit or violent books that
a tenth grader may read. In othe words, she needs books that are written
at
a higher level than 7th or 8th grade, but will not be harmful to a 6 year
old.
She really enjoyed reading all four Harry Potter books, so I've introduced
Madeline L'Engle to her. She definitely does not like Nancy Drew (they're
too boring!) I have some other authors and titles that I will compile for
her, but I was hoping that I could get some input from this group.
Thanks for your help. If there is an interest, I'll compile and post the
list here.

If you have access to a parachute, crumple sheets of white and yellow paper
and bounce "pop" them up and down. Did this for toddlers and
preschoolers
and we had to "refill" the popper several times. We also jumped
up and down
on large sheets of bubble wrap. We were in an enclosed program room and
they could still hear us all the way to the circ desk!

Paula,
We have made windsocks here. We used some round cardboard containers.
I
think they were oatmeal containers. I don't know how well they worked
outside. The day we happened to do it there wasn't much wind.
Wouldn't you
know it. But the kids enjoyed making them.

Subject: have you made windsocks at your 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!
