I use the book called The Kids' Book of Questions- the questions are lighter and much more fun. Here is a sample question (paraphrased): If your dad dyed his hair purple, would you go to the shopping mall with him? We have a blast with these in our book discussion group. ISBN 0894806319, AUTHOR GREGORY STOCK, PH.D. There is also one with 'sex and love' in the title- definitely not one for the work place.

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.

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!

You can register now and get 3 posters and 25 bookmarks sent to your library in late October just in time for the beginning of the program. Be one of the first 200 librarians to register and you will also receive coupons for 25 free HERSHEY'S Milks. Stephanie Stokes "Library Media & PR Online" http://www.ssdesign.com/librarypr/ Tony Hawk "Ramps Up" Third Year Of National Teen Reading Program; Teens=20 encouraged to discover the world through reading in libraries Today, students and librarians at the San Diego Public Library were "amped"= =20 to kick off "Get on Board and Read @ your library," a program developed to= =20 gear up interest in reading among America's teens. Professional=20 skateboarder and program spokesperson, Tony Hawk, helped launch the=20 program, which is sponsored by the American Library Association (ALA) and=20 Morningstar Foods Inc., maker and distributor of HERSHEY'S MILK and=20 Milkshakes. A new program logo also was unveiled (see attached.) "Get on Board and Read @ your library" will encourage young adults across=20 America to skate their way into libraries, grab a book and land in the=20 world of possibilities available through reading. Teens are challenged to=20 grab one of their favorite books found on library shelves and create an=20 entry about how the book is meaningful to them. There are two categories=20 in which entries can be submitted - a written essay or a creative entry=20 including a poem, painting or video. The program officially begins in November and will continue through the=20 spring of 2004. Program details will be available at www.hersheysmilk.com=20 later this fall. "We are pleased to be able to advance the American Library Association's=20 interest in engaging young adults through the Get on Board and Read @ your= =20 library program. We want to remind teens to discover the wealth of books=20 and other resources that are available at their local library and that=20 librarians are there to help them find just what they're looking for--and=20 maybe even something they didn't expect," said ALA President Carla D.= Hayden. Librarians are encouraged to visit the program Web site at=20 www.hersheysmilk.com for their opportunity to request posters and bookmarks= =20 that will be delivered to the library free of charge before the program=20 officially begins. The first 200 libraries to register on the site will=20 receive coupons for Hershey's Milk. In November, free programming ideas,=20 artwork and other tools to help librarians promote the program will be=20 available on the Web site as well. As an additional incentive, there will= =20 be prizes awarded to every librarian who submits 5, 15 or 25 entries on=20 behalf the teens whom he or she serves. "Reading builds a strong foundation for our future. I want to show that=20 reading can be fun - as well as letting kids know that this vital skill=20 helps lead to success later in life," said Tony Hawk. "I am excited to=20 partner with HERSHEY=AE'S Milk and MilkShakes - my kids love them and I need= =20 to maintain strong bones in my career." This is the third year for the partnership between ALA and Morningstar=20 Foods to promote teen reading. Over 2000 libraries registered for the=20 partnership's first program, "Drive to Read @ your library." The "Get on Board and Read @ your library" program is part of The Campaign= =20 for America's Libraries, ALA's multi-year public education initiative to=20 speak loudly and clearly about the value of libraries and librarians in the= =20 21st century.
