I've been reading today's e-mails re: a reading to dogs program with
interest. We're also considering another dog/pet program for the
summer - a dog or pet show - and I'm wondering if any of you have
experience with this type of program ... We're using the
collaboratiave "Laugh It Up @ Your Library" theme, and this
particular program was mentioned on page 103 of the manual. The idea
intrigues us, and we especially like the kid-centered aspect of it.
That said, it seems problematic: How would one successfully organize
such an event? What about liability issues (What if a dog bites a
child?)
I would really appreciate your sharing ideas or experiences!

It doesn't necessarily "describe" my job, but I remember very clearly
being about 3 years into being a children's librarian (1977?) when I had a
disastrous pinata party. Small children got seriously squished by older
kids lunging for the falling candy. I wondered if I could take being
responsible for kids when even the most carefully planned program could go
awry. And in the midst of my self-doubt, a John Denver song came on the
radio that seemed to capture why I could count on not giving up. I don't
know if I have the correct title, but I think it is called "The Children
and the Flowers." It includes the lyrics "For the children and the
flowers
are my sisters and my brothers. Their laughter and their loveliness can
clear a cloudy day."
Maybe sappy and it only captures a part of this job, but on a bad day, put
me around kids and it all starts to make sense again. BTW, about 10 years
ago someone made that song into a picture book.

My library does a program like this...a local school has a reading puppies=
program and the handlers (wehave 3 pupppies at a time) come with them.
I=
do this program when I do my regular storyhour and I read a few stories,=
then we divide the kids up into 3 groups, ( I have about 30 kids attend=
this program) and I give them a very basic easy reader type book.
The=
kids take turns reading a page to the dog, and these dogs are amazing=
because they sit right there and actually look at the pictures and listen=
very intently to the reader. A large book works best
since the child is=
reading and the dog is looking at the pictures. I do this program
once a=
month and the kids in my storyhour are always asking when the puppies are=
coming back. It is a huge success and I would highly recommend it.
The=
only problem I have ever had was when the puppies got to excited and the=
handlers didn't get them outside fast enough, but a roll of paper towels=
will help with the "accidents".

Pin trading has become popular...I wonder if you could make your own pin.
There are Disney cruises that include Disney World as part of that.
Be cautious duplicating things, Disney is apparently very rigorous at making
certain its copyright is not infringed.
Might see if there are doodads to buy or get ideas for on their website.
And if you get spooked at the copyright problems, try Cape Canaveral's space
program. There's an eye-opener!
Hope that helps

Hi, folks.
I'm looking for a book for younger readers,
possibly set in Tennessee in the 1920's, about a
lame mountain girl who marries a schoolteacher.
The protagonist may be named 'Lancey,' although I

Anyone know this?

Fellow Pubyacers- I have a patron who is desperately trying to get a copy
of a book she says she borrowed here some time ago. I can't seem to find a
match. This is what she remembers: A giant, named Greedy Guts because he
eats everything and alot of it- is finally chased from the town when the
people stand on each other's shoulders and scare the giant away. - Does
this ring a bell with anyone? Thanks for any help.

Hey all,
Don't know when this story was written, but an elderly patron remembers a
picture book about a lady dressed in a white uniform and possibly a red
apron who turns into a red, white and black woodpecker. I know this isn't
much to go on, but if someone could help, I would certainly appreciate it.

I think everyone can commiserate about science fair. Only twice in my

bodyguard. It was a middle school science teacher who discussed how
librarians can help science fair participants. (Just kidding! You

librarians are basically a non-violent sort! We might lose our thick
glasses or mess up our buns in a fight!--Only with fellow librarians would I
joke about this stereotype!!!)

Hi Yaccers...
A patron came in looking for a story he read to his children about 30 years
ago: it is a picture book and he said that the main thought running
throughout the story was an old Hungarian saying: Where you left it, you
will find it!
He said it isn't much, but I said I know where I might get an answer!!
Please respond to me directly at... read2kdz@yahoo.com

Hi, all. My director has asked me to inquire if any children's departments
are doing COREY checks on the people who do programs for children. I'm not
sure what the letters stand for, but it's a security check designed to
reduce the chance of child abuse. It came up because the Sunday
School
teachers at my church are having them done. If you think it would make a
topic of discussion for the list, answer to pubyac. Otherwise, my e-mail

This is so truly scary, I will most likely not be able to sleep tonight. :)

Hi all-
I submitted a question last week to the listserv if anyone knows of any
articles talking about teens using technology at the library. Well, that I'm
sure was too general and I didn't get many responses. So I'm changing my
question. How do librarians use technology at their library to draw in
teens? What kind of programs have you had using technology and teens? Thank
you!
