Hi,
Years ago I wanted to hold a talent show and the thing that stopped it was
the need for a keyboard/piano. How do you handle that or is it just not
essential anymore.

Maria,
I plan to have a talent show for ages 7 - 10 this summer. I've never done
this before, but I did get a few hints from coworkers. I was told
that it
is necessary to have an audition - not to weed out - but to get an idea of
what types of acts you'll have, so you can mix them up (you won't want all
of the violin players in a row) and to make sure you have the equipment you
need. I was also told to make sure and set a time limit for each act.
And
it was suggested to have a few "ringers", a couple of really good
acts. I
also don't want any competition. I plan just to have a place where kids
can
showcase their talents.
I'm very interested in the responses you receive. Could you please forward
them to me.

As a performer who works mostly in libraries and schools, I have an
opinion about this. Most of my audience is under 5 therefore they
usually are accompanied by an adult. I do display my products and
mention that they are available. I don't push them. If I knew that there
was a toy store or a record store in the town that sold them, there
would be no need to do this. However, since they are very hard to find
in any stores, most people are happy to have an opportunity to buy them.
I'm sure that most performers have the same problem getting their
products distributed and I can't see that situation changing in the near
future.
I do agree that trying to sell to school age children is inadvisable
though. Kathy Reid-Naiman

Hello. I am preparing a seminar on YA series and I am now at the point where
I
would like to know the series you would recommend for your shelves. Some of
the resources I've searched are Makowski's "Serious about serials",
The Alan
Review, VOYA,KLIATT and The Horn Book Guide.
I would also encourage those with negative views on series to respond: are
there problems associated with collecting books in series?
Please send your recommendations directly to semorton@dal.ca.
I will post
the
results of my findings to Pubyac listserv. Thank you.

When I talk to the schools about summer reading there is always one, usually
from the upper grades, that asks what happens if they cheat. I always make a
big deal about how we trust them to be honest and I know they wouldn't do
it. Usually the teacher does some extra nodding to reinforce that she trust
them to be honest also. They may still cheat but a least maybe they'll fell
guilty ;~ ) In our program they are allowed to read anything, not just
library books and I think that helps curtail the cheating also.

Hi Again,
As a musician, I relished any opportunity to perform when I was a kid. In
high school we had a "do your own thing day" where we could play or
sing
before our peers and "Night Club Night", a talent show without
any competition. My memories and positive experiences from those
activites out-weigh any awards I've won. Applause is really all a real
talent needs!!

As a librarian I cannot answer because I am still in grad school, but as a
parent of three, I can tell you that I really disliked the events where
items
were sold and after awhile stopped bringing my children to such library
events. I remember one incident where in the middle of a program, a
magician-singer starting talking about his items for sale and afterwards any
joy my kids got out of the program was eclipsed by arguing about his
products
for sale which I did not want to buy... I definately side with your director
that the library is not a store where things should be sold (except of
course, the great used book sales my New Rochelle library has put on my the
Friends of the Library several times a year!)

We always let performers sell their tapes/books and we make sure we buy 1-2
copies to put in our collection. Have been doing it for twenty five years
or more - performers and families appreciate and with the copies we put in
our collection (sometimes the performer donates them!) kids who can't buy
have access within a month to the material.

No matter how you do it, you wind with an Honor System anyway. There is
no non-time consuming, non "library police" way to verify for sure if
a
child has read something.
In my library, we count visits to the library. Participants can get their
chart dated and initialed, and pick up a small prize once per week. Four
visits (1/2 the length of the club) gets them a certificate and ticket to
a show.
This system has the benefit of making the number of books listed
irrelevant. An older child can list one chapter book. His/her
sibling
can list 10 Easy Readers. Both get the same reward.

I work with the YAs. This is my first opportunity to do a summer reading
club with them. The person who did it before wanted to make sure they read
the books so she developed sort of a book report (review) where they have to
answer some questions about the books.

Subject: Time limits on computers?
We are a small library with 4 computers in the children's room with
various
games (Magic School Bus, etc.) and Internet. We have an honor system
where
kids are supposed to try to limit their time to 30 minutes. We want to
avoid sign-in sheets, reservations, and taking staff time monitoring.
We
tried to find timers that were easy to use, but they made loud ticking
noises and seemed like they would be distracting. We don't want a
system
where the kids have to log in to use it, read on-screen instructions,
etc.,
since we have preschool-K age kids using them and they wouldn't
understand
the procedure. Nor would they know to sign up on a list (parents are
not
always paying attention and let the kids go to the computers
themselves).
The main problem is that when patrons come in, they don't know how long
someone has been on a computer, who's due to get off first, don't want
to
say anything to anybody... We try to keep an eye on who's been sitting
somewhere for a while, but that's not always possible, of course.
Anyway, do any of you have bright solutions to this problem? Special
timers
found somewhere? Thanks.

Ms. Getty and all:
Here at McMillan we generally have parents or other caregivers in
attendance with kids so we don't mind allowing performers to sell
things. In your situation, with kids attending solo I think that the
compromise that you've chosen (allowing performers to distribute contact
info/order forms) makes perfect sense. It gives the performers the
opportunity to generate some business down the road without creating any
problem with the kids.

Hi Robin,
We're involved in a construction project too and are using (for a
winter/spring reading program) the Upstart catalog "Caution- Readers
at
Work" theme. Its great! You can even buy yellow caution tape
with the
logo. We have hung colorful tool cut-outs from the ceiling (clip art)
and
purchased plastic hard hats to give away from Rhode Island Novelties. We
have purchased some bob the builder books and cds as little kid prizes.
One other cool thing we did last summer- we set up the SLP program during
fundraising for the library so that we solicited pledges from businesses,
organizations and people. They pledged a penny, nickel dime or more for
every hour the kids read. We got pledges totaling $1.00 per hour of
reading
from all the different sources and kids read 10,000 hours so they raised
$10,000! It was awesome and cool. We had a blueprint footprint of
the new
Youth Dept on the wall and we would put a colored-in chunk up for every $500
the kids earned thru reading...they loved watching the Youth Dept fill in as
they read. They also really felt ownership of the process. By
reaching
the kids with our message on the building process we reach the parents and
the community at large as well.

Hi!
I know this was discussed recently- but the archives seem temporarily out of
commission so if you still have the compillation of responses, or any new
ideas, please send them to me off-list.
I'm looking for books, fingerplays and simple rhymes/songs for 3-5 yr olds
(and their parents) to "remind" them about library behavior and
manners in
general. I don't want it to be too preachy and I want the kids to have fun,
but lately post-storytime library behavior has gone downhill and I'd like to
make it the focus of a program rather than just the reminder I give them
each week.
Thanks!

Hello all,
I'm new in children's services and I have just been assigned the summer
reading game. I need to find appropriate level books. I am hoping
for some
lower literacy ability level titles.
Can anyone suggest something so i can get on the right track?
Thanks
Margaret
