Does anyone have thoughts on shelving very explicit books. I cannot see
myself putting a warning label on the book ( a staff member tried to
hide it by stuffing it in a drawer :-( ) Anne Rice has quite the
following in the adult dept and I think if its offensive don't take it
out. But I might be wrong. Ideas, Comments?

The question--is a suggested summer reading list a good idea? evidently
isn't getting copied through but here's my take on the question.
Absolutely, giving guidance with a suggested reading
list is a good
idea. Of course, not every book is right for every child so the list can
be just a starting point.
And we havealso created a beginning to read or easy
chapter book list
in addition to the Preschool-Kdg. list that is really books to be read to
children. That one is a big hit.
Good luck and keep those kids reading! - jeri

Hello! I'll be doing an origami program with the 9-12 year olds in a few
weeks. Since we're doing a music theme I wanted to make an origami
whistle.
The problem is, though, the only book that I could find that shows how to
make one has very poor directions. There's no step by step, only hand
drawn
diagrams with arrows going this way and that. I haven't been able to find
anything on line.
Have any of you ever made an origami whistle? If so, would you be able to
fax or e-mail me the step by steps? Thanks so much!

I have a question to put out to all Young Adult Librarians. do you allow
Chat Room Access on your teen computers? We always have, but I've always
been concerned. Our library policy leaves all restrictions for computer
use
in the hands of the parents, but I worry that teens at this time in their
lives are so vulnerable to pedophiles no matter how many times you discuss
how to be safe on the internet especially in chat rooms..What is the
liability of the library and of our own hearts in this matter? How are you
all dealing with this?

Thanks to Terry Lambert, who knew immediately that this was "No More
Monsters for Me," by Peggy Parish. This group is wonderful!
Original question:
I have a young patron (about 10 years old) looking for a picture book
his teacher read to his class a 'long time ago, when I was about five.'
It's about a little girl who finds a baby monster, lost and crying.
The
girl takes the monster home, raises it, and eventually lets it go free
to live with the other monsters in the mountains. He remembers the
monster eating everything in the basement at one point.

I have long wanted to change the EASY designation to PICTURE BOOK. It seems
so much more appropriate. These books are not necessarily Easy at all, yet
they all have pictures (illustrations) which are as important as the text.
Parents equate "easy" with "easy to read" . So I say, Go for
it!
