Next week, I am speaking to the Head Start parents from this area on the
topic "Reading Is Fun." These will be parents of three- and
four-year-olds.
If you have great suggestions as to what I should say to them, I would
appreciate hearing from you. I do have some ideas in mind, but would like
to hear what others have to say.
Please e-mail me directly at mailto://roberta@effinghamlibrary.org
Thanks so much!
Roberta

I would like to suggest you take a look at the EZ Library Program database
at http://midhudson.org/ezprogram/
for program and craft ideas for At the
Zoo and Cars and Trucks. If you click on the Search for a Program button &
type in your keyword search, you'll find some suggestions.
Librarians have added over 240 program ideas to this database over the last
year and we encourage others to do the same. Submitting an successful
program is quick and painless and adds you to the list of wonderful
librarians who have shared their wealth of ideas with the rest of us.

Hi,
I have tons and tons of Kindergartners coming next week, (5 days worth!) and
we are supposed to do the classic "story and tour," with a Seuss
theme, of
course. I have a nice craft project picked out, but, even after repeated
visits to Suessville and zillions of assorted websites, I still don't know
which Seuss book I want to do for my story or if there is some other
creative
option for a Seuss performance piece (acted out skit, puppets, whatever).
What books have been most successful for you with Kindergartners? Any
great
skits, poems, puppet shows, or WHATEVER that you would recommend instead?
All advice and help MOST gratefully appreciated. Please send to
maggiebollar@aol.com.
Thanks,
Maggie Bollar

Subject: Popcorn craft
Date: Wed, 26 Feb 2003 19:06:28 CST
Hi all,
I have a giant bag of popcorn leftover from a movie night we did last
week. I am afraid it's going to go stale soon so i was thinking of using
it for a craft project. popcorn.org wasn't too much helps since their
ideas involve alot of cooking and syrupy things. All I can think of on
my own is gluing the popcorn to construction paper which seems pretty un-
fun to me. Any other ideas out there?
I'd also like to thank everyone who responded to a message I posted
awhile ago looking for storytime help for ages 0-5. Everyone was so
helpful and some of the ideas so fun and creative we are going to give it
a try in the fall and see what happens!
Thanks,
April Mazza

Dear Librarians,
Perhaps some of you who are interested in the subject of heroes and heroism
will find the following young heroes award and related educational material=
s
of interest:
Young adult author T.A. Barron has created The Gloria Barron Prize for Youn=
g
Heroes. The prize, named in honor of Barron=B9s mother, recognizes
outstandin=
g
young people ages 8 to 18 who have shown leadership and courage in public
service to people and our planet. Barron Prize winners each receive $2,000
to be applied to their higher education or to their service project.
Nomination deadline is May 30, 2003.
One of last year=B9s winners, Kyle Alderson, was nominated by his public
librarian for creating Project READ (Reading Encourages All Dreams), a
reading mentorship program based in his town=B9s public library.
A Bibliography of Heroes, compiled with the help of many librarians and
teachers, and a Heroes Study Guide, written by Kylene Beers, are available
to support librarians and teachers interested in the subject of heroes and
heroism.
To nominate a young hero, or to download the Heroes Bibliography and Study
