Fayth,
I was horrified to hear about the reader's bus...my middle son had terrible
problems with bus "carsickness" and I cannot even read a map in a
moving
vehicle without feeling ill... what a terrible thing to make reading a
punishment. You should start a petition with the parents.

Kara Fllck on the TAGAD list posted about a reading buffet sometime ago.
Here are some notes from her email:
Teens given a nametag and a menu upon checkin.
The menu was a schedule for the event, food and beverage choices, book
choices and rules of the program.
Rules stated they read the entire time, no audio, computers, drawing, etc.
Five minute breaks each hour. If you have a lot of kids, stagger breaks.
If rules were broken, warning after first time, disqualification after
second time.
Books were displayed on a table like an elegant dinner setting...piled on
plates, soup bowls and scattered on the table.
Check in was at 11:50.
Settle in and began at 12.
Served chips, vegies and dip, apples and caramel dip, cheese cubes and
Triscuits, tortillas and nacho dip warmed in a crock pot, candy, cookies,
brownies, pizza rolls, cheese sticks and bagel bites. Suggests asking
teens
to bring drinks.
Had 6 volunteers, 3 watching kids, 3 doing food.
Ended at 6 pm.
To decide on a winner, finishing teens got 15 tie breaker questions. While
volunteers correct the answers, go over the answers with the teens.
Suggest serving ice cream and passing out prizes at the end.
Grand prize $50 gift certificate, 2nd $15. cash, 3rd $10. cash. All
participants received a gel pen and pixie sticks.

**I'm resending this because I haven't seen it yet on the list. I
apologize for any duplication.**
LAP
Hi all,
First off, thanks to all of you who offered your suggestions about
potential interview questions. Your suggestions helped me be prepared
for whatever my interviewers threw my way, and I got the job! I started
last week. Thank you all :-)
Now to my question. I hope it doesn't alarm anyone. The library
where I
am working has a rather small alcove area for it's children's "area."
One of the walls in this area is completely blank, only having a couple
of small round tables in front of it. It seems like an excellent place
for shelves to expand the area where we could shelve additional books. I
asked my boss why that wall was blank, and she said it is because there
is electrical equipment in the wall. But it's not the fuse box or
anything similar. But apparently it's a building code thing that nothing
permanent can be placed in front of the wall. This wastes a ton of
space. I got to thinking about it, and I thought of bookcases on wheels.
The wheels would have to have locking casters so kids couldn't push them
around, but I was wonder if any of you have experience with this. Or is
it ridiculous? Are the safety risks too high (shelves getting pushed
around if casters get unlocked by little fingers, books falling off if
shelves did move, etc.)? I'm interested in anyone's experience with
this, or even if you have an educated opinion. I would appreciate any
input.
Please respond to pinardl@cadl.org.
Thanks!

Date: Mon, 28 Apr 2003 10:58:25 CDT
I am the librarian at our school and I have to say something in regards to
the comments about AR programs. There are some very positive results
that can come from the program properly run. I know of a number of
students in my school district that have greatly increased there reading
ability because of the program. There are some that have become
"turned on" to reading. We fill the program with reading
incentives. After every ten books the child reads, he/she may pick a
prize book, and track their success on a blue ribbon that hangs in the
library. We also have other incentives along the way. At the
beginning of the year we set a reading goal and if that goal is met the
principal agrees to do some crazy thing. This year, the students that
read the most books in each grade level will take a limo ride with the
principal out to Pizza Hut.
When people fill the program with punishments for NOT reading rather than
rewards FOR reading, then is when it fails.

Right now I'm not sure what's available in each branch, but I do know it's

more of an issue here than it might be elsewhere. I'd like to develop a
core list, if possible, and will gladly post my results back to the list.
What titles do y'all recommend?

Hi everyone,
I was wondering where those of you who carried movies put Ann of Green
Gables, the Continuing Story. It is rated G but I was told by a patron
that
it was very bloody and not at all like the original Ann of Green Gables.
We don't have videos in our YA section, so it's a choice between Children's
and Adults.
Any input would be appreciated.
As always, thanks.

censorship in collection development? What happened and why? 2 - What are
some effective techniques we can use to limit self censorship? When I talk

Hi Everyone,
I have seen a lot of postings recently about Baby Storytimes. I am hoping
that I can pick your brains a little more.
Are your baby storytimes registered or drop in?
Do you have a limit on the number of babies in each program?
If you register, do people register for each individual session or a series?
What time of day do you offer your programs?
Have you had any compliments/complaints on your baby storytimes
(specifically based on time, space, registration)?
Thanks in advance for your help! My branch is considering the possibility
of adding more programs or reorganizing our current programs.

Thanks in advance, because I know you'll find the answer to this

The book was popular around 1962. A young schoolboy envies a girl

and the watress is the classmate's mother. He doesn't have enough money

Thank you to the MANY MANY Yac'ers who responded to my
question.
The overwhelming answer was *The Little House* by
Virginia Burton... which was the book that I was
thinking of when she described it... BUT --
It may also be The Tiny Little House by Eleanor Clymer
-- which is about a tiny house in between two large
buildings in the city, where a group of girls make a
clubhouse and where a little old lady sells cookies.
I will see my patron sometime in the next few days,
and will show her both books! Thank you so much!!!

Hello All!
I have a stumper with a lot of detail so I think
someone should recognize it. I'm pretty sure it's a
chapter book but not absolutely sure because this is
second hand but here's what I received from the
patron:
"There are two sisters. The oldest siter has beautiful
wallpaper in her room and a doll house. The younger
sister desperately wants wallpaper too and to be able
to play with the doll house. (I believe) In a dream
the younger sister plays with the dolls who tell her
she is now old enough to reach the lock on the
sister's doll and basically she is old enough to play
in her sister's room. When she wakes up she is tall
she *can* reach the latch--I think."
Elements of this sound familiar to me but I'm not sure
if I'm confusing it with other titles. Anyone
recognize it?
please respond to jbaker93711@yahoo.com
Thanks!
~j.

Dealing with Challenges to Books and Other Library Materials
http://www.ala.org/Content/NavigationMenu/Our_Association/Offices/Intellectu
al_Freedom3/Challenge_Support/Dealing_with_Challenges/Default1208.htm
Libraries are often challenged by individuals and groups concerned
about the availability of a wide variety of library materials to
everyone. Addressing these challenges requires a balance of carefully
crafted library policy, knowledge and understanding of intellectual
freedom principles, and sensitivity to community needs and concerns. It
also requires effective communication.
The links on this page will help you plan for and deal with such
challenges. The information can help you educate library staff and
trustees, inform the public and work with the media.

Hi! There are several great sites that have bibliographies of books
demonstrating "core democratic values" -- many of which are on
equality.

If you have a teen section that is where I would house it. Your patron is
right, it is not for elementary school children, otherwise, the adult
section might be the better place for it. The other movies are great and
very appropriate for elementary school kids.

Please spread the word about the symposium. We hope to have a healthy
contingent of library and bookseller supporters there.
Uniting Privacy and the First Amendment in the 21st Century is an
activist
symposium designed to explore the interplay between privacy and First
Amendment rights with the goal of developing strategies for optimizing
both. Information Sessions and Working Groups will foster problem
solving and future collaboration among attendees. Library and
bookseller patron privacy will be one of the key issues discussed. The
Symposium will be held Friday, May 9th at Preservation Park in Downtown
Oakland, California.
The registration form is available online at
