We have a child therapist looking for a book she's used in the past that
deals with guided imagery and visualization. It's around 130 pages and has
about 30 exercises with names like "Time Traveling," "Clearing
Space," and
"Me as Robot." Each exercise is one to two pages and is meant
for an adult
to read to a child. Any ideas?

Hey gang--a friend is trying to remember a couple of books from her early
days, probably from the early 1950s. The only clues are that one has a
character called Great Grandpa Bunny Bunny, and the other has a character
named Mr-Bear-Squash-You-All-Flat. TIA for any info!

Hello all,
I'm hoping someone can help with this one. A staff member answered
a
call from a patron looking for a picture book about sacred places to read
to a Sunday school class. She doesn't want a particular place like
visiting a church or temple but something more general to go along with a
sermon about finding the sacred all around us. We pulled Dreamplace by
Lyons and are looking at some of the Bryd Baylor books but I was wondering
if anyone knew of a title that might fit.
Thanks,

The YA Committee of the Columbus Metropolitan Library and I have been

Unfortunately, we are at a loss for ideas. If anyone has a fabulous

Here's a fun turkey snack the kids can make: to make a turkey you'll
need a Ritz cracker, several pieces of candy corn, Hershey's Kisses and
frosting or peanut butter. To construct: spread the cracker with
frosting or peanut butter (or, even cream cheese if they're going to get
eaten right away), unwrap a Kiss and place it low on the cracker (think
Tom Turkey with his tail spread). On the "tail" part place
several
pieces of candy corn, points down, so it looks like a fan. A head made
of another piece of candy corn can be "glued" to the tip of the
Kiss...and taa daa! Candy turkeys! If you want them to stand up, you
can attach a cheerio or other round, flat food to the turkey where his
feet would be. Enjoy!

but he also likes the science fiction part, and wants more science-y fiction
than fantasy fiction. Anyone have any suggestions good for that age and

Dear collective brain,
I know this has been answered before, but as far as I
know, the archives are still unavailable. Our patron
read this book back in the 1960s-70s. It's about a
family of people that turn into pigeons and back
again. The main character is a young girl who
discovers the family and eventually discovers their
secret.
Please reply directly to me, rather than the list, and
I'll post the answer. THANK YOU!

Hi everyone...I've answered several, now it's my turn to ask one. One of
our board members remembers a series of books he read in the 50's, but could
have been written before then. It's about a boy inventor, like Tom Swift,
only his inventions usually backfire or don't work at all. He remembers
one
invention in particular, a newspaper throwing machine for a paperboy. We
don't think it's the "Boy Inventor" series, or "Danny Dunn"
or "Professor
Branestawm". The key theme is the inventions that don't work. I
would love
to hear any and all ideas anyone has about this series. You can reply
off-list at:

We have had requests for G.A. Henty books. Our Central Children's
Specialist did a literature review search for him, and came up with some
questionable stuff. It seems that Henty was a Victorian imperialist, and
at least some of his books have imperialist attitudes towards people of
color. Do other systems have his books? Did you get his entire
ouvre, or
pick certain titles? Are they popular?

Hi all,
I have a patron who is looking for a book she thinks
was written in the 1950's or 1960's about little girls
in English riding habits and their stubborn ponies
(perhaps Shetlands?). She said it was done in line
drawings, probably black and white,and was humorous.
She also said she remembers the little girls pony
tails matched the horses tails.
If this sounds familiar to anyone, please respond

I will post the responses.
Thanks so much,

Bonnie-
You can glue the colored/ labelled sides of two cd's together and decorate
the shiny side with sequins, plastic beads, glitter. String with fishing
line through pre-drilled hole.
Also, a cd set shiny side up makes a nice "icy" pond. Add two or
three
small styrofoam balls to build a snowman- the decorations can be as simple
as you want, since the reflective effect is there. I've also seen votive
candles placed in the middle and small greenery placed at the base of the
candle- makes a nice wreath effect.
Have fun.

I'm putting together a letter to teachers that our staff can give to
students when we are unable to fully assist them with their assignments.
IE: if the circulating materials are checked-out and the teacher doesn't
allow the students to use encyclopedias or electronic resources for the
project, or if the topic is so specific that we don't have a wide variety of
print materials available. (this week's winning question was for a report
about Colonial American wig-making).
I'd appreciate it if you could send me (off-list) copies of similar letters
or notes to teachers.
Thanks in advance-

Greetings from Michigan. I have a stumper from one of our patrons for
you all.
"This is a chaper book I read in the early 70's, I was
3rd or 4th
grade. the book was about a young girl who spends a lot of time in her
room. In her room she has a chest of drawers that held a large
collection of costumes or dress-up clothes. The young girl has lots of
fantasies while dressed up. Not time travel or anything like that."
If anyone has a clue about this book I would really appreciate it. Thanks

Greetings, PUBYACers,
I am in my second year of developing a library
collection at a private (PS-5) school that has an
anti-bias curriculum, and I would like to expand
the resources (online and print) that I've been
using. I'd love to hear from others about what
they find most useful in finding new
multicultural/diversity titles as well as what
is helpful in evaluating these books.
I've listed some of the resources (see below)
that I've found and used. If I have enough time,
I might even mount a website that lists all these
resources (which would make your feedback even
more valuable!).
Thanks in advance,

Hello!
This listserv is an outstanding way to share ideas with colleagues.
Perhaps you can help me with this request.
I am a Children's Librarian in Anderson, Indiana. Our Daycare Services is
part of the Children's Department. We visit 17 daycare centers per month
and leave a deposit collection of books and provide storytimes at the
centers. These centers vary in size and in age groups from babie to pre-K.
We are searching for some ideas for some forms to seek feedback both on
what is working well and areas where we need to improve. There are 8
staff members in our department and we are planning to share
responsibilty for the daycare services beginning next semester,therefore
this service continues to evolve.
We would also be interested in receiving information about program ideas
or to share with some of you on an on-going basis about your daycare
services.
Thanks in advance for your shared ideas and your help!
