We have a bookcart drill team, our summer reading mascot "Sneaks" the
cat
riding in a staff member's convertible and our bookmobile playing music (we
recorded a song to the YMCA theme). We've won some prizes at local
parades.
The crowd seems to get a kick out of it and it's great publicity!

A great method is to place the books that need perking up in a plastic bag
filled with (fresh!) kitty litter and leave for 24 hours, sealed. Just use
the uncomplicated (cheap) type litter. You can do quite a few books at the
same time in this manner.

The music teacher in my children's elementary school does a wonderful
"Expression Session" twice a year. All she asks is that the acts
be well
prepared, and be limited to two minutes or one song if the person is singing
or playing an instrument. Parents sign a permission slip assuring that the
act is appropriate to a school setting. It is a great activity. I
recommend you try it. There is no judging - just a good time.
Children
learn to speak, sing, act, juggle, ride their unicycle, etc. in front of an
audience and the audience learns the skills of being a good audience. Its
a
win-win situation for everyone. The music teacher does the m.c. and
nurtures the little ones along that have developed a sudden case of stage
fright. Hope this helps.

Brenda,
Our library has a library cart drill team. Although I am not a member,
I have heard from various members of the team that the patrons
absolutely love it. There is a book out there in library land called:
The Library Book Cart Precision Drill Team Manual by Linda McCracken
We base alot of our routines on the manual.

Greetings! As a youth librarian in training at the
University of Pittsburgh, I am currently working on a
marketing plan for a library marketing and public
relations class. The plan will outline how to market
a teen room that is being separated from an adult
collection. My teacher suggested that I gather real
life example of what other librarians have done. I
would appreciate any knowledge from your experiences
that you are willing to share.
Thank you for your help! Feel free to email me
directly or post to the list serv.

Our library is planning to do synchronized book carts' for the Santa
Clause parade this fall. I don't know too much about it but we have
ordered a book on it (if you can imagine such a thing). The title
is <u>Library Book Cart Precision Drill Team Manual </u>and the
author is
Linda McCracken. Good luck.<br><br>

Juli, You have good titles already, but if you are looking for more, you =
can go to www.lori.ri.gov and click on The
Station Fire. Because of our =
horrific tragedy here in Rhode Island, we have posted some lists, =
including a link to the lists ALA did post 9/11. Check the list from the =

I am in the process of planning a mystery night for our library and I am
interested in hearing from the Collective Brain--are any of the kits
worthwhile and does anyone have any good scripts to share or any highly
reccomended companies to deal with? Any information would be greatly
appreciated. You can reply to this message or email me off list at
mbass@arlibrary.org and I will post a
compilation. Thanks so much for your
help!

In the past our library has been represented in the
local Christmas parade. Our "story time" volunteer
rides in costume in the back of a truck and is
accompanied by some of her young friends.

We do allow performers to sell their products here after a performance, but
they know that they have to give 10-15% to the library which is donated to
our Friends group. So indirectly the money comes back to us.
