i think it would depend on where you live. our library
uses "extra help" people throughout the year and often
we get school library people on the weekends or in the
summer. my sister is a school teacher and she works
part-time retail in the summer so you might consider
something outside of libraries if there isn't anything
available. you could also just volunteer--it may not
pay but it's good experience and i know a lot of
libraries that may not have the budget to pay for it
would appreciate some expert help.

Hi Lisa,
Our library is in the process of tackling this problem of cataloging.
We have set up a review committee of four librarians to decide whether
the gns should be cataloged juvenile, young adult or adult. As the gns
arrive they're put on a separate shelf in the cataloging room until we
review them. I created a slip for each title we review so we don't have
to worry about coordinating schedules to review the gns at the same
time. There's a place for comments like check out page 114, boxes to
check next to our names, title, call number, etc. When we've made our
decisions, the last person to review the title (provided the ruling is
unaninimous) lets the catalogers know they're ready. If there isn't a
consensus, we discuss via email or at a monthly YA services meeting.
Reviewing the gns before they are cataloged saves duplication of effort,
helps out with readers advisory and hopefully diminishes complaints due
to cataloging a gn as YA simply because it has pictures when it should
really be in adult fiction.
I hope this helps! I'd love to hear what other libraries are doing
too.

Hi all-
We have two graphic novel collections: one for Young Adults and one
for
Adults. Our catalogers are having a difficult time figuring out which
should go where and would like any guidelines we can give them. We
have
a standing order through BWI and those all go into the Young Adult
collection. How do other libraries decide which should go where?

Thanks for your thoughts,

Good Morning,
In honor of the impending summer reading school visits, I was wondering what
other children's librarians do to promote the program while visiting the
classroom. I am especially interested in what Ohio librarians using the
Celebrate Ohio! theme are doing, but I would appreciate any great, original
ideas. Costumes, books to share, skits, etc. We're looking to
spice up
our program a little this year.
Responses can be sent me and I'll compile them for the list if anyone is
interested. Thank you very much!

How about this one..."Do you know, you look just like the lady who used to
work here?" Cant decide if that is a compliment or put down...I think I
still work...here. Of course it has been so long, I might be wrong. Or...I
still look much younger (like that idea) after 40 years on the job. Kids
keep you young.mm

I will be presenting pajama storytime on the topic of "Good Night East
Coast" at the end of May. Our usual audience is families with
children
ages 3-8. I am thinking of using Whistle for Willie, but most of the
books I am finding are too difficult for my preschool audience. Who is
from New York etc? Any ideas for me? Also what rhymes or movement
activities would you suggest that relate in any way to the East coast
life? Please reply off list. Thanks.

If your library has developed a training manaul that they are willing to
share, please send it to me. I am in the process of creating a volunteer
shelver position. However, I would like to give them a manual that they
can
study and test them before we do the orientation.

Stacey - We've just built a new library (opened March 1) with a specific
teen space. We have some swirling neon shapes on the upper walls of the teen
area, and so far, we haven't had any buzzing or interference with other
lights or computers. I don't know about replacement cost, since they're new.
It makes the teen area look different from the rest of the library, and the
teens really like that.
Hope this helps.

Subject: Question about neon signs
We are considering having a special sign designed for our teen area and
like the idea of having it be a neon sign. However, we are extremely
concerned about several things. If you have a neon sign in your library
or just have experience with them, please answer the following
questions:
Will the sign make that horrible ZZZZZ-sound?
Will it interfere with flourescent lights?
Will it cause problems with computers or other types of technology?
How expensive is it to replace burned out bulbs?
Is it worth having?
Thanks for your assistance.

I just visited Kid's Domain and went to Wizard crafts. Lots of cute ideas.
Also try www.dltk-kids.com where there
are a number of other ideas.
Good Luck!
