Dear Yackers,
First my stumper--and I do mean mine! We've used a magnetic story called
"What Color is Spring?" by Jane Belk Moncure for several years.
I am
planning to share it at a conference program next week, but can't find the
book in which we originally found the story. Can anyone help?
Perhaps it
was in a collection of Easter stories since the Easter Bunny appears.
Thanks also to everyone who responded to my early posting about where they
shelve "Girl with the Pearl Earring" by Tracy Chevalier.
Overwhelmingly
other libraries--even those in Australia, thanks Joanna--have it shelved
with their adult fiction. (Ours is in the Young Adult area, but I
discovered later that the audio book is in the adult section. Go figure!)
Two librarians said they had it in both places. One librarian said that
the
high schools in her area own the book, but they shelve it in the adult
fiction anyway. Several thought it was published for adults, but had
crossover appeal to teens. I appreciate the ammunition when I approach
cataloging about moving it.
Looking forward to spring--whatever color it is,
Susan Dailey

Hi Dana,
Go to this site and they will give you some suggestions. Perhaps you have
some of the books available in your library already.
