Hello all,
A teacher who works with developmentally challenged children is looking for
simple picture books which emphasize life skills and understanding how the
world around them works. She is only interested in books which pose a
question to get the child thinking and then provide an answer on the next
page.
Her examples of what she wants (odd though they may be) are "What side of
the bus is the steering wheel on?"--- answer "the left side."
Also, "What
does the clerk do after ringing up your groceries?"----answer, "Bag
them."
She does NOT want books that discuss counting, colors, foods, family
relationships, or getting dressed.
Neither delving into our catalog nor searching resources such as "A to
Zoo"
have provided her with the kinds of materials she envisions. Even my
friend
who works with special education students is stumped. Any suggestions?
Thanks! Please reply to nnorth@snap.lib.ca.us

This is a little off topic, but I had a patron ask me
today if there is a program that sends books to
troops. He is being deployed Monday. Does anyone know
if there is a national program that sends donated
books...do soldiers need to sign up? Any information
or advice on where else to look would be greatly
appreciated. My email address is tynercl@yahoo.com.

Subject: Anastasia Krupnik
Date: Thu, 30 Jan 2003 00:55:55 CST
Hello there:
Just thought that I'd ask for your point of view on this question...
I had a parent complain about "Anastasia Krupnik" by Lois Lowry being
=
cataloged as Juvenile because it had some (about 3) curse words in it, =
which the parent did not think was appropriate for her 9 year old. I =
thought that she was making a big deal about it (since I haven't read =
the book), but when I saw that not only were there "damns" but also
the =
"S-word," I had to pause to consider her point of view.
I saw that BWI has it listed for grades 4 - 6, and after flipping =
through the book, I'm hesitant to put it in YA because it is so thin and =
looks to be geared toward grades 4 - 6! :) I also saw that it is in
=
the local AR program as being a level 6 book, but that really means =
nothing to me. :)
So here is my question: Where do you guys have Anastasia Krupnik =
placed? Juvenile or Young Adult?
You can reply to me directly. TIA, and thanks also for all the help =
you've given in the past.

A teacher remembers reading this book in the 60's. The main character,
probably a boy, travels back in time to retrieve a dinosaur (for a school
project?). He inadvertantly steps off the floating pathway and steps on
and
kills a butterfly. When he returns to the present, everything is changed
because of the dead butterfly. The boy who is my patron is VERY interested
in reading this book, so thanks in advance for your help in finding this.

Patron would like picture books and possibly older fiction for ages 3-10

object or place that's abandoned or in disrepair and fixing it up.
Examples would include THE SECRET GARDEN or THE LITTLE PRINCESS.

Hello,
A patron is looking for the name of a book he read as a child. It is a
book about a group of kids who go sailing, encounter a group of pirates
after going through a cave, spend the day with the pirates searching for
treasure, and are back home by night. He remembers that it was a "big
book" with great artwork. His aunt bought him this book during a trip to
Mystic Seaport in CT.
Any ideas?

Julie,
I have had both metal and wood bookshelves and I can
tell you that metal is the worst for holding books.
In my library that had wooded shelves I applied some
cork to the bookends and also invested in larger
bookends, and while that didn't end spills by any
means, it did help. I think I may also have applied
some of the extra strip material to the bottoms of
some of the bookends; I don't remember.
I agree that I don't care for the hanging place
holders. WE have those in our adult section, and I
just don't care for them.
In my old library that had metal shelves, I inherited
some bookends that had a foam/sponge on the bottom,
but that didn't last long or grip as much as you might
imagine. I ended up putting on strips of a grainy
material (came in a roll probably from Demco,
self-adhesive on one side) that was supposed to make
it less likely for the books to slide. That did help
the situation, but not as much as I had hoped for.
The shelves were battleship grey, and the strips were
too, so it didn't look that bad..... well, it didn't
look any WORSE, anyway.
I'm at a different library now that has tan-colored
metal shelves. Our bookends have nothing on the
bottoms, and yes, things slide around considerably.
I've thought about those strips, but they would
detract too much from the appearance of the shelves.
I would assume that the rubber-bottomed book ends
would be the best for the job, but I've never had
them. I would be interested in seeing responses from
other libraries on this. Is is possible for bookends
to grip TOO much?!
One thing that makes somewhat of a difference is
simply the size of bookend. I always opt for the
largest size I think the books can handle. And in the
case of some things, like the Little Mr., Little Miss
books that seem to defy being held in place, I put
them in colorful plastic baskets, which makes it easy
for kids to get at. You can also arrange them in the
baskets so the covers face out. I did the same for
some joke books that I had, too. This works really
well for the smaller books and paperbacks that you
really don't care if they stay in their proper Dewey
order - most had the same call numbers anyway in my
situation. The baskets can fit right on the shelf in
their proper place, of if children can't reach down
into them, they can sit on a lower shelf and still be
near where they belong.
Good Luck!

Hello all,
Does anyone have a preference for base material on
metal book ends? We have, almost, convinced our
director that the hanging bookends installed
with our new metal shelving just are not working in
the children's room. They are hard to move (for me
anyway I have very small hands and find gripping them
to slide them over hurts)and the books slide right out
from
underneath them. My problem is that our old shelves
were wood and I'm not sure which type of base material
is least likely to slip on steel. he choices from
various vendors seem to be cork, felt, urethane or
rubber.
I know this sounds like a dumb question but since we
are proposing to buy 500 at one time I rally don't
want to end up with new book ends that aren't doing
any better a job than the old ones.
Thanks,
Julie Rines

Hi Deborah: We have LeapPads in our library as well. We circulate 9 kits
to
patrons... each kit contains a pad, 3 books/cartridges, a set of headphones,
and an adaptor. We also have about 60 books that circulate by themselves.
I would say that since they've been available to our patrons, we haven't had
any available. They are constantly out or on hold for someone. The hold list
is 6 or 7 deep. Since we purchased the individual books the demand for the
pads is a little less (many patrons just wanted the extra books, they
already
own the pads).
Many of the books are on OCLC which made cataloging them much easier for our
tech dept.
We purchased a leappad from Amazon about 3 years ago, and that one little
pad
is our demo for patrons to look at. If there is a book available, we would
allow a patron to take that book and use it in the library with the demo.
This is a collection our patrons are very excited about! It's worth it.

TV Turn-off Week is fun to do but can be exhausting to plan. This year we
are getting materials from the TV Turnoff Week web site for coloring sheets,
T-shirts and other items. We are beginning the week by having a
"Break Free
of TV! READ!" Reader's Day.
At this day high profile people from the community ( Mayor, Library
Director,
President of the Friends of the Library, Fire Chief, Police Chief, local
teachers and more) are asked to attend and read their favorite picture book
to the children and parents invited. It's a nice kick-off and works well
with publicity.
Later in the week we are having a music program.
Other days try featuring crafts based on childen's books just
out on the
floor for drop ins. EX: Dr. Seuss Day -- Horton elephant
puppet, Maisy
Head Daisy flower hat, etc.
Good Luck

It never seems to fail. Some of the most wonderfully
illustrated picture books are bypassed by Caldecott.
Last year they chose "The Three Little Pigs", which
really was a rehash of a concept already created by
Jon Scieska [sic?] in "Stinky Cheeseman", over the
brilliant "Tin Forest".
As far as the Newbery, if I could get one child to
willingly read one of the winners, I'd drop dead from
the shock.

Sorry, this won't contain ideas for your "turn off the
TV week" - just an observation on my part. The
Illinois state-wide summer reading program (sponsored
by the ILA) is "Lights! Camera! Read!" Considering
that in May we are going to send out publicity for our
program that is going to glorify books into movies,
filmmaking, celebrities, and TV to some degree, I
think it would be kind of ironic for us to tell them
to turn off their TVs in April! One month it's bad,
one month it's good? huh? Since I'm not going
against wisdom of the good librarians all over
Illinois who chose this as our theme, I'm passing on
the TV Turn-Off! TV = good; for now, anyway!
Please don't take me too seriously...although true,
this is meant to be humorous; I'm not dissing Illinois
librarians or the ILA!

Hi everyone,I am looking for ideas for TV Turn-Off
Week, which will be held April 21-27. I was talking
with our Board President, and she indicated she would
like me to have some programming to tie in with TV
Turn-Off Week.
I visited the official site http://www.tvturnoff.org/
which has some good general ideas, but nothing
specifically about how libraries can participate.
So if anyone has any ideas at all about this, I would
really appreciate it if you would share them with me,
and/or the list. TIA!
Christine

Re: Reading with Rover
Hi, I'm the coordinator for "Reading with Rover" at the Henderson
District
Public Libraries. This program pairs trained, certified therapy dogs with
children who are uncomfortable reading aloud. In this one-on-one setting,
the dogs provide their attention while children read aloud without fear of
criticism or interruption. Our "cainine reading specialists" are the
same
dogs that visit local hospitals and rehab centers. I am in the process of
compiling a packet on "how to" execute a Reading with Rover program
and
would be glad to send you my information if you are interested.
Let me know.

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!

Hi Julie and all,
Demco offers bookends with magnetic grips that work really well with steel
shelving (especially with paperbacks!!!). We use the 8 3/4" high ones
with
picture books and they have been great. Just don't use them near videos
and
other electromagnetic materials!

Subject: book ends
Hello all,
Does anyone have a preference for base material on metal book ends?
We
have, almost, convinced our director that the hanging bookends installed
with our new metal shelving just are not working in the children's room.
They are hard to move (for me anyway I have very small hands and find
gripping them to slide them over hurts)and the books slide right out from
underneath them. My problem is that our old shelves were wood and I'm not
sure which type of base material is least likely to slip on steel. he
choices from various vendors seem to be cork, felt, urethane or rubber. I
know this sounds like a dumb question but since we are proposing to buy
500 at one time I really don't want to end up with new book ends that
aren't doing any better a job than the old ones.
Thanks,
Julie Rines

My favorite was when a girl about eight years old asked for pictures of
fairies. I brought her to the fairy tale collection and she immediately
stated, "No! I want real pictures. Plus I want to find out where they
live, what they wear, and what they eat."
I judged she wasn't pulling my leg, and I desperately turned to the
catalog for help. It turns out we have an adult reference copy of
"Field Guide to the Little People" by Nancy Arrowsmith. I suggested
she
go upstairs to take a look. By the time I had called Reference to warn
them a girl WHO BELIEVED was coming up to take a look at the book and
DON'T MAKE FUN OF HER, they stated she was already upstairs, had the
book, and was taking notes.
Here's to all those who still believe...

We have some that have cork on the bottom I think--but what I really like
are these ones that have some kind of magnet in them--they stay put wherever
you place them, but are very easy to move back and forth.

Subject: creating fake tree
Date: Thu, 30 Jan 2003 15:04:41 CST
Lisa,
I have seen a project done on the Christopher Lowell Show on the Discovery
Channel for a blind child's room where a floor-to-ceiling tree was made from
paper and polyurethane foam and painted brown. The foam gives a good
"bark"
texture, and fake flowers and birds can be easily stuck into it,
"secret"
holes created, etc. It takes about 24 hours to dry and is very
lightweight.
It suggests hot-gluing the tree to the wall but there might be less
permanent ways to secure it if hot-gluing is not an option.
Directions are on

Has anyone ever seen big trees or towers in a public or school library?
Our ceiling is VERY high (like 13 feet) and a big oak tree would look
awesome. Has anyone seen anything like this - not papier mache - but I
don't know what itwould be made out off. Wood? Fiberglass?
Enough rambling!! Hopefully, some day soon, you too will be buying fun
stuff for your library.
Best wishes,
