Has anyone heard of a read-aloud with a title that sounded something like
"Madalon and Patupon"? The patron who asked about this is around 65 years
old and read this to her children.

Hi Linda,
We are trying something different with our story hour schedule this fall.
We are offering 6 weeks on, 2 weeks off, 6 weeks on for Sept-Dec. We also
cut out 1 story hour, by changing our lapsit to ages 12-24 months. We have 2
part-time staff to do children's, but we also work circ & reference every
week as well. We are hoping that eventhough there will be a short break
between sessions, families will still come to the library because it has
become their routine. Good luck. I know that most of us are hurting due to
budget reductions.

I am writing to ask if you could recommend a list of 20 or so graphic novel
titles for YA that would be a good start for our collection. We don't have
any yet and although I've read a little about them and read just a few
myself (thanks to the encouragement of my own children!) I would appreciate
any advice you could give me to begin developing our collection. Obviously
I would like to avoid some of the more explicit titles. Do you have any of
the series titles on standing order?
Thanks very much for your responses.

Dear colleagues,
A patron remembers a juvenile novel from her childhood, 1950's-60's, that
featured an ugly brown mare named Penny. Penny was a rental horse until she
met a sickly rich kid. You will gain the patron's eternal gratitude if you
know this book!
I have searced FirstSearch, Children's Catalog, our catalog, and A to Zoo to
no avail. (Wish I had Novelist!)
Thank you for taking the time to read this stumper.

Its funny that during this train of discussion and episode sharing we had
our own experience just yesterday. It has been a while since I have had to
clean up after a little one. Yesterday a mom sent the big sister to
retrieve little brother from the computer area so they could go home. He
let his displeasure be known loudly. Finally mom came to get both of
them. While standing in the checkout line mom turns to see junior standing
by the door still hollering. Finally he takes off his diaper and pees in
the floor to further let his displeasure be known. I hope this is not a
sign of things to come. Needless to say Mom was not amused. Belinda

I agree. The range of projects that used to be limited to particular grade
has spread out to many grades, including European countries, Native American
culture, science and math fairs, animals, sports, and biographies. As well
as spreading out over the curriculum, these projects tend to be assigned to
a whole grade at once, which can result in 300 or so children all needing
similar materials. It's exasperating at times.

Greetings, fellow PUBYACers!
I am planning a Pippi Longstocking program for the fall
(September/October/November). Although I have a few ideas, I am looking for
more to round out the event. My plan thus far is to read a chapter (or part
of a chapter) from one of the Pippi books, do a Mad Lib, hand out trivia
sheets and give ginger cookies (since I have never made Pepparkakor) as
treats.
Have any of you held Pippi programs before? And if so, would you be willing
to share your ideas? My plan is to do the program for school-age children,
however, I am going to adapt it for a preschool Story Time.
Any suggestions you send would be most appreciated! If you would like to
respond to me directly, please do so at molly_decleene@hotmail.com.
Thanks so much!

Subject: Fees for programs
Date: Wed, 30 Jul 2003 11:21:50 CDT
My programming budget is minimal and I must go to my Friends organization
for
the majority of my programming costs. Yet, it is clear that this public
library will not be charging fees for any storytimes, storycrafts or
programs. I
agree with my director that it would foster criticism, especially in New
England towns where the libraries are all supported locally.
If you are charging only to guarantee attendance, perhaps you could request
that tickets be picked up in the library a few days before the event. That
would give you plenty of time to go to the waiting list and ticket holders
would
be serious about attending.
It's obvious that parents take attendance more seriously if they have paid
for it. However, I am not sure that charging a fee would, in fact, reach a
gracious and diverse group of people.
I'd be interested in hearing more of this discussion on PUBYAC.

Dear Carol,
I haven't done a fairy program, but I'm aware of three books that have
fairy-related crafts and projects in them:
"Fairy Fun: A Child's Fairyland of Enchanting Projects and Magical Games",
by Marla Schram Schwartz. This includes crafts such as fairy wings and
garlands, games, and food.
 
"The Book of Wizard Craft" and "The Book of Wizard Parties", by Janice Eaton
Kilby. Each book has a section on activies relating to fairies, including
food and crafts.
This sounds like a fun idea. Maybe I'll look into it for a future program
here....

We interfiled our nonfiction videos with the books a couple of years ago,
and it has been very successful. The patrons find them when they are
browsing and many have commented that they would never have thought about a
video in their subject of interest. It also makes it easier for us to
direct patrons studying a particular subject, as we have one less direction
in which to send them.

This is one of the reason I have no "cushioned" chairs for kids in the room.
We do have a few big comfy chairs, but they are faux leather and very

Natasha,
When I was tutoring teens in critical thinking and writing, I enjoyed a
great deal of success (and many lively conversations) with something called
The book of Questions. It's an oversized (light blue and white?) thin
paperback with each page putting forth an intriguing moral dilemma where the
reader is invited to imagine a scene that would require a course of action
with definite consequences either way.
I'm afraid we're talking a decade ago, however, so I no longer can recall
the author; and when I do a catalog search, I come up with the following,
but since our library doesn't own a copy, I can't confirm that this is it:
 
TITLE The book of questions / Gregory Stock.
PUBLISHER New York: Workman Pub., c1987.
DESCRIPT 205 p.; 16 cm.
SUBJECTS 1) Conduct of life.
2) Conversation.

Subject: YA scenarios
 
I have a patron looking for a resource for different teen scenarios (social
situations and criminal acts like hit and run)...she is hoping to give
different scenarios to her high school students so they can ponder them and
write responses on what their course of action would be. I've looked in our
local and state catalogs under teens, scenarios, crime scenarios, and did a
general Google search, but I was hoping maybe someone out there had stumbled
across something. Any help is appreciated!
