Hello All,
I am doing an outreach presentation to some daycare teachers next week.
Part of the presentation (the overall focus of which is early literacy) is
about developing themes using books. Do any of you have great theme ideas
for preschoolers that step a little bit outside of the norm? By this I mean
themes that are not based on animals, or farms, or families. Not that these
aren't great themes, but I need something a bit jazzier.
Please email me directly, I will compile and post to the list if there is
interest.
Thanks,
Grace Sheppard

I have seen many great examples of programs based on literature for kids
shared on PUBYAC over the past seven years. It's something we children's
and YA librarians do constantly. And you still have a chance to
share your
imaginative, creative work with the ALSC Econoclad Literature Award
committee!
Have you developed and implemented a fabulous library program for kids
(infants through age 13) involving reading and the use of children's
literature? Then why not get recognition for the work you've already done
by applying for the 2003 ALSC Econoclad Literature Program Award. If you are
an ALSC member and presented this program during 2002 at any public or
school library, you are eligible to apply. The award is a $1000 grant to
attend ALA's annual conference in Toronto, ON from June 19 -25, 2003. A
few of the previous award winning programs include a young adult
storytelling drama troupe; a statewide virtual book discussion group
involving authors and featuring a strong partnership with the media; and a
writing club for kids. The sky is the limit on the kinds of great programs
you've done this year focusing on literature and kids that are eligible for
the award.
The application deadline is December 1, 2002. The form is available
online
at http://www.ala.org/alsc/econoclad03.pdf
or you can call the ALSC office
at 800 545-2433 x 2163 to have one mailed to you. Mail five copies
of the
application to Marge Loch-Wouters, Menasha's Public Library, 440 First St,
Menasha WI 54952. The winner will be notified in February.
We are eager to read about your programs and award that grant!

A teacher once told me that in their school they were teaching children to =
sneeze into their elbows so that there was less chance of spreading germs. =
Makes sense to me!
Of course this lovely song would have to be changed.....

Here is a song I penned for you...
A Sneeze Is Not for Sharing
(State with expression)
When you feel your nose is stuffy,
When your nose is tickly and itching,
(Sing)
Take your hand and cup it now,
cup it now, cup it now,
Take your hand and cup it now,
cover your nose... Ah....Ah...Ah...Choo!
(State)
HOLD IT! HOLD IT!
(Sing)
Wait a second before moving your hand,
moving your hand, moving your hand,
Wait a second before moving your hand,
So sneeze germs won't hurt friends.
Original by Mary Mills (A practicing sneezer) 11/02

Hi everyone
It has been interesting to "listen" to all the talk on this listserve.
But
today I have a question for everyone. I am a program specialist (i.e. I do
children's programs for 6 branches). I am trying to start a reading club
for 10-15 year olds at the library that I am based at. So far, I have not
had very many participate--from 0-3. What are some successful methods of
publicizing the book club? I am thinking of going to the schools, but I
wondered if anyone else had other ideas for me. I have mailed flyers to the
schools with our on-going programs, monthly flyers for what we are
offering, etc.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions. I don;t work at the desk, but I
have flyers at the desk, in the children's area, on our webpage, etc. HELP!

I went to the internet and found this song.
3 Puppies song
In downtown Philadelphia
Upon a busy street
Three puppies found a pretzel
which looked very good to eat
The first one sniffed it cautiously
The second took a bite
The third one snapped it in its jaws and darted out of site.
Ohhhhhh
Ohohohhhhhh
Ohohohohohhhhhh

Diane-
The Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh has access to the Oxford English
dictionary when you are in the library, but there is no remote access. Some
of our online databases may only be used in one of the libraries in the
system and unfortunately this is one of them.
Remote access requires entry of the bar code from a library card issued from
this system. We do allow Internet access without a fee or library card.

Hi Everyone,
Our customer is looking for a book she remembers being read to the
children in her family in the early 1950s. She beleives it is called
THE AIRPLANE THAT CRASHED IN THE JUNGLE. (She does not recall the
author or illustrator.)
In the story, the animals -- she specifically mentioned a hippo --
board the plane after it crashes and enjoy the food it is carrying.
She says the illustrations always made the children laugh.
I couldn't find it in FICTION, FOLKLORE, FANTASY & POETRY FOR CHILDREN,
A to ZOO or on NoveList.
Any ideas?
Thank you for your help.

Help! I have a stumper from a patron who can remember only fuzzy
details about a series that she read when she was a girl. =20
She thinks they were written in the 1950's but were set around the turn
of the century. The books centered around 3 teenage sisters,
particularly the older one. She thinks the books might have had black
and white illustrations. She thinks the titles were something like
"____(older sister) Goes to College" or " ______ Gets
Married".
She also remembers the girls visited an aunt and uncle on a farm during
the summers. I know this isn't much detail but maybe this will ring a
bell with someone. Please reply to me personally at ramarieb@plano.gov
and I will post response.
Thanks in advance!
