I have a patron (late 20's) who remembers a book from her childhood. It's
a

The 2003 Amelia Bloomer List of Recommended Feminist Books for Youth can be
found at:
http://www.libr.org/FTF/AmeliaBloomer2003.pdf
Previous lists can be found at:
http://www.libr.org/FTF/bloomer.html
In the midst of growing political and social conservatism, courageous
authors, illustrators, editors, and publishers continue to create
risk-taking and life-changing books about girls and women. Celebrating these
accomplishments, the 2003 Amelia Bloomer Project of the Feminist Task Force
of the Social Responsibilities Round Table of the American Library
Association proudly announces the second annual Amelia Bloomer list.
This bibliography of inspiring feminist books published within the past 18
months for young readers from birth to age 18 memorializes the legacy of
nineteenth-century feminist activist Amelia Bloomer. From a lively alphabet
book illustrating diversity of careers to a fascinating examination of the
history and growth of global feminism, this collection demonstrates
resilience in the face of societal strictures. Settings varied in both time
and place, in both fiction and nonfiction, spotlight girls and women
breaking the bonds forced on them by society, defying stereotypical
expectations. A street urchin who masquerades as a boy in the English navy,
a marine biologist who explores under the Antarctic ice, an African-American
teen who just wants to play ball (and does!), a chicken who asserts her
place in the pecking order?these are only a few of the empowering stories
told on this list.
Within these pages, girls and women overcome the obstacles of the
intersecting forces of race, gender and class. Readers discover feminists
who actively shape their destinies, blazing paths for themselves and those
who follow. The Amelia Bloomer Project enthusiastically endorses these
rip-snorting good reads.
2003 Amelia Bloomer Project members are: Jennifer Baltes, Forest Hill
Elementary School (MD); Peter Butts, East Holland Middle School (MI); Debbie
Carton, Berkeley Public Library North Branch (CA); Jane Cothron, Lincoln
County Library District (OR); Sarah Dentan, Berkeley Public Library West

You could check out the Colorado study, which shows the positive impact
library media centers have on student education. It's available from Eric
Digest: <http://www.ed.gov/databases/ERIC_Digests/ed372759.html>.
A second
study was done some years later, again in Colorado: <
http://www.lrs.org/html/data/school/CO_2000_slmc_data.html>.
Other studies
that came to similar conclusions were done in Alaska and Pennsylvania, but
right now my computer is freezing up whenever I try to access those. Hope
this helps. We just analyzed these studies in one of my classes, and they
can give you positive data why libraries should be expanded and get more
funding, rather than the reverse.
Hope this helps.

Please excuse the delay in posting my reading buddies question. Thanks to
Mary, Lisa, and Penny who responded and accept my apologies for not
acknowleging earlier. The 3 programs are quite different. One trains
teen
volunteers to go into the community ( to Ys, daycares, etc.) Each Book
Buddy gets a kit with all the material which they check out for a week.
The
volunteers also do promotions for the summer reading program. Another
library schedules reading buddies on the first Saturday of every month,
10:30-12. Teen and reader pick the books, with a librarian's help, and also
pick a book with an accompanying craft to do. Still another library
schedules individual appointments and then matches a volunteer with a
learning-to-read child on the basis of time availability, age and gender
preference. These different approaches give me a lot of food for thought.
If anyone else has experiences to share with reading buddies, I'd love to
hear. Thanks much

Hi all,
I am not going to do anything special for the kids, but I did
print the story from Yahoo and post it on the circulation desk.
There is a note to parents on the pbskids.org/rogers website that
talks about his death and how to talk to kids about it. It is
almost as if he wrote that himself. It is a very good article.
There is also a place for kids, and adults, to write to pbs or

Genevieve,
Although I am still a young'un, this book was around when I was a wee
preschool child in the 1970s, so who knows if it was ever reviewed in a
traditional review publication. At any rate, I looked around the old =
trusty
Books in Print web site and could not find any edition with excerpts =
from
reviews, and Amazon only has reader reviews, which might still be =
helpful.
Most of these reader reviews are fairly positive; however, there are a =
few
that do complain about the graphic nature of the illustrations. One =
person
had a problem with the images of human genitalia. Another individual =
felt
that the book belonged in the adult section, rather than the children's
section, because of a drawing of a man on top of a woman during =
intercourse
(as I recall, they are fairly covered up in this picture). =20
Now, my personal opinion of the book: The description of human =
reproduction
is a rather accurate one. I do think that some details are
simplified...BUT...the illustrations are very cute and are done in a
wonderful cartoon style. I'm not going to lie and say that the =
treatment of
human reproduction is not more graphic than some other books. But, the
entire process of human reproduction is itself graphic and this book =
does a
very good job of talking about it and showing illustrations of it =
without
sounding like a dry textbook or a pornographic novel for toddlers. =20
I certainly think that this book is not going to warp young minds. One =
of
my mother's favorite stories about my childhood involves this book. I
learned to read early, probably when I was about four years old. When =
I was
between preschool and kindergarten, my mother took my brother (2 =BD =
years
older) and I to the library. She found Where Did I Come From? and =
tried to
convince one of us to check it out. Neither one of us was the least =
bit
interested in the book, so she decided that she would just check it out
herself.
When we got home, she put the book down and went about her business =
around
the house. Some time later, she comes back to see me-or some of me-on =
the
couch (as a young'un, I was very, very tiny). All she really could see =
was
this book, with my hands and feet sticking out around and underneath =
it.
According to my mother, I looked up over the top of the book and said,
"Mommy, this is the stupidest thing I've ever read!"
While I apparently did not believe the facts of life, what I read and =
saw
didn't shock me or hurt me in any way. I can honestly say that if I =
had a
child, I would show this book to him or her. I wouldn't necessarily =
show it
to a very young child, but I would still have it around the house. And =
I
liked the book so much, by the way, that a few years ago, I gave the =
20th
anniversary edition to my mother. It's in her living room with a few =
other
children's books. =20
Just a few thoughts,=20

We're in a time of terrible budget cuts. I have been told to cut
programs, because our youth librarians are needing to spend more time
on the desk. Of course, we in Youth Services want to expand
programming, not restrict it. However, it's true, we are getting
exhausted. We are so proud of the quality of our programs and they way
they connect to various developmental levels. We have Baby - 0-18
months twice a month
Toddler 18-36 months weekly
Preschool 3-5 years weekly
Pajama 3 and up monthly
and usually one special event per month for elementary
age kids.
I wish someone could tell me a magical way of pleasing my boss, taking
the pressure off the staff, and keeping it all. In lieu of that, how
about any creative ideas, out of the box thinking, ways you've cut
before. 10 years ago, the last time we cut, we cut out crafts with our
preschool programs and instituted three three-week breaks in weekly
storytimes. That helped. Any other ideas? Thanks.

Subject: Re: Library programs for local cable TV
Date: Fri, 28 Feb 2003 10:33:22 CST
I produced, directed and edited a local cable-access story time show for a
couple of years. We used 2 commercial cameras (and 4 microphones total) and
I could switch between the cameras and communicate with the camera operators
from my director booth. We used the cable station studio for taping, which
had the bright lighting necessary for TV taping. I was trained by the cable
employees, as were my volunteer camera-operators, and I used a local
librarian who excelled at storytelling. She brought her own props (flannel
board, apron, puppets, books) depending on the show, and I would pick up an
outline from her a few days before the shoot so I could loosely plan my
direction.
We used flats from a community theater as a back-drop and covered them in a
colorful material that was not too distracting. I borrowed some small
plastic children's chairs for 5-6 kids (age 4) and placed them in a
semi-circle around the librarian. We occasionally used a rug, but found kids
were much less likely to roll around when using the chairs. I deliberately
kept the number of kid participants under 10 so there wouldn't be a lot of
noise or interruption--the show was primarily for the viewers at home. I had
no trouble finding preschoolers to participate, but I did send out a few
flyers, too. I also had the parent of a participating child sign a waiver/
permission form, which I kept on file.
"The Reading Chair Story time" used a combination of story resources.
I
began by writing the publishers for copyright permission and got about a 50%
response. Those that didn't respond I went ahead and used the book (note: I
am not recommending this!); I always edited in the copyright permission and
the books author/illustrator/publisher on my end-credits. After the taping,
I would use a music stand, prop up the book used on that show and (using a
second reel of tape) film each page--segueing and fading in and out, etc as
I went along. I later took both my reels of tape and edited them together so
that the home viewers could clearly see the pictures of the book that was
being read aloud, and so that my camera operators weren't always scrambling
to focus on a page before a page was turned. The show was about 25 minutes
long. It filled a 30 minute slot, but I had a theme song (I used very upbeat
public domain music) and intro and end credits. I kept this stuff on a
separate reel so I didn't have retype (on editing machine) some of the names
or the show title.
"The Reading Chair Story time" played 3 times a day and actually built
a
mini-following. The local newspaper interviewed us after we had done several
shows, which gave us local publicity and our storyteller some local fame! I
tried to tape one show a month; it would take me about a day and a half to
tape and edit, and some more time in preparation. I had to book my studio
and schedule my volunteers, round-up some children to be the audience (I
eventually had a mom volunteer to do that for me), and confer with the
storyteller.
You can of course do a lot with much less. I would recommend the
librarian/storyteller use a microphone even if the show was being filmed
with a hand-held home video camera, and I would make sure there was a good
light source. I would use the same show name and opening music each time,
and I would keep the library/studio audience small. I used mostly 4 yr old
preschoolers because they weren't in school all day, but were old enough not
to freak out half-way through taping. I kept one mom in the studio with the
camera-operators (the kids didn't know she was there) in case a child had to
escorted out, for all of the small-child reasons you can imagine. The other
parents were outside of the studio (on premises) but not allowed in the
studio during taping. I had two complete shows "in the can" before the
show
appeared in the cable TV line-up. I would definitely give yourself a
practice shoot before your deadline--there are lots of little things to be
worked out. Decide how many shows you want to do, who you want to perform,
and write up an outline for each. Frequently film the faces of the
children-- it will expand your at home audience tremendously!
Good luck- the show was a very fun, creatively satisfying endeavor, but
definitely a commitment.
