I'm telling y'all...I think the peepee revolution has arrived! Maybe
it's the influence all those stickers on the car with the little
"Calvin" knock-offs peeing on Dodge, or Ford, or whatever...or maybe the
new Vladimir Radunsky book Mannekin Pis--yeah, right, we could only hope
a book would have so much influence, but I think they're missing the
point if this is the case. Or could it be the scene from Adam Sandler's
Big Daddy where they pee on the wall? We need to start tracking these
incidents, and perhaps alert, oh I dunno, the Department of Homeland
Security or something...WE MUST BE VIGILANT!!

Darlene,
I started a quarterly newsletter last fall which has gone very well. I
send it to my high school English department as well as librarians to keep
abreast on whats going on here at the public library. I will be happy to
send you a sample.

Hi Carol,
We have done several fairy events here at our library. Three of the
programs were for teens and one was for younger children. Fairies are
VERY popular with teens and I have had great success attracting them to
events. I am sure that some of what we did for teens could be adapted for
younger children. Please note that I have been fortunate enough to have
an outside presentor (who is a florist and artist) create these projects
and implement them as well - although I do think they can be replicated.
I know it's hard to "describe" how to do things without a visual, but I
tried :) - hopefully at the least it will inspire some ideas.
1. We made "Fairy sachets" to attract them to your garden: with an
assortment of herbs the teens filled a piece of pretty fabric and tied it
off with a silver metallic embroidery thread. Go to
http://www.gothic.net/~malice/ for a fantastic list of herbs and plants
that attract fairies to your yard. It calls itself the "Gothic Gardening"
site and has several different "theme" gardens to choose from - with
extensive lists of plants and their "meanings." This website is also a
great place to look for inspiration as it has links to many other great
fairy sites.
2. "Fairy in a Jar": starting with pre-made and pre-cut images of fairies
and gnomes taken from Barker's and Froud's books - we copied them on to an
antiqued "parchment paper." Start with a clean jar the size of a
Mayonaise jar or something similar. The project requires hot glue, dried
flowers (with longer stems) or silk flowers, dried moss etc. Take the lid
to the jar and create a "scene" by gluing the moss, and flowers (going in
a vertical direction so that you can fit it all back into the jar) - then
nestle the fairy/gnome into this arrangement. Gently put the jar on top
of this and screw the lid on. These projects turned out very well - the
teens were really pleased!
3. "Fairy shadow-box closet": You will need a box about the size that
notecards come in -- aprox. 7x5 inches - anthing smaller would be too
difficult to manage. You also need hot glue. The teens decorated the
outside edges of the box with a pretty ribbon (wide enough to cover the
sides of the box). Then they glued a piece of "natural paper" in the
bottom of the box (the paper that has flower petals
imbedded in it look very pretty) - this was the "backdrop" for the closet.
We provided dried rose stems (cut to
size) that were glued in to be the "clothes rack." We provided moss,
dried flowers and a maple tree seed (the kind that twirls down like a
helicopter off the trees). Choosing from an assortment of fabrics with
metallic strands weaved in the teens made a fairy "dress" to hang off of
the maple seed (which looks exactly like a hanger for a fairy's clothes).
They also made a small satchet to go with the dress. They finished the
projects off my glueing moss, dried pansies, dried wild grass seed
"stalks" and more inside the box and on the dress to finish off the
project. The completed project was a beautiful shadow box that looked
like a "fairy's closet."
4. We have also made "flying fairies" which is basically a small
terracotta pot weighted down inside so that it doesn't fall over (rocks,
or a little cement). Decorate the top of the pot and using hot glue and a
long dried rose stems create a doll "stand" that sits in the pot and has a
another piece of stem that "hang" the fairy from (think of the "hang-man"
game for the visual). Finish off the entire thing by hot glueing dried
flowers, moss etc. onto the stems and the pot. The fairies were just
small, cheap little plastic dolls we bought and then glued fabric on for
the dress, and added wings by buying a bag of those cheap butterflies or
dragonflies that you can get at craft stores to embellish other projects.
5. Lastly, we have had fun serving food too -- like "lavendar lemonade"
(steep lavendar flowers in a cup or so of boiling water and just add this
to regular lemonade - make sure to do a practice - it can get too strong).
We also had a fairy "mushroom ring" which was just fresh mushrooms
and dip - sitting on a tray that had dried flowers and greens surrounding
and little cut out images of fairies sitting on the edges.
Sorry this is so long, but I have a "thing" for fairies myself so I got
carried away. Check out some of these books and movies for inspiration:
- Fairie-ality : the Ellwand Collection / Genie Shields ; photographs by
David Ellwand
- The fairies : photographic evidence of the existence of another world /
by Suza Scalora.
- Faery magick : spells, potions, and lore from the earth spirits / by
Sirona Knight
- Faeries / described and illustrated by Brian Froud and Alan Lee
- Finding fairies : secrets for attracting little people from around the
world / written by Michelle Roehm McCann & Marianne Monson-Burton
-Lady Cottington's pressed fairy album / by Brian Froud
- Kids draw angels, elves, fairies & more / Christopher Hart.
Films:

Have fun!

Subject: I did a Crocodile Hunter Party
Date: Mon, 4 Aug 2003 10:32:30 CDT
Hello, All,
I know there has been some interest in Crocodile Hunter parties on =
the listserv. I did one this afternoon as part of my summer reading =
club and thought these ideas might be useful to someone else. Our =
program was for 6-12 year olds. We showed the movie "Crocodile Hunter: =
collision course" a couple of days ago as a separate event.
I began the party by doing mini-booktalks on the autobiography "The =
crocodile hunter : the incredible life and adventures of Steve and Terri =
Irwin" and "SuperCroc and the origin of the crocodiles" by Christopher =
Sloan (mostly because I have a The Science of SuperCroc t-shirt from the =
exhibit that was at Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry last year =
and I wore it for the program).
Then I read "The singing snake" by Stefan Czernecki. This is an =
Aboriginal folktale about how the musical instrument the didgeridoo came =
into existence. I told them that they would all get a "singing snake" =
to take home. These are flexible plastic straw that are ridged almost =
from the top to the bottom and can be found in some water bottles. When =
you blow through them, a whistling sound comes out. The notes change as =
you bend the straw in different directions. (Now for the bad =
news...We've had them for years and I don't know where they came from. =
Sorry.)
I'd found a list of Australian slang at =
http://www.koalanet.com.au/australian-slang.html and quizzed the =
children on what some of the terms meant. Be aware that this list =
includes words/terms of a sexual nature and those about alcohol and =
getting drunk, so, of course, don't just copy the list and hand it out.
I then told the story "The biggest frog in Australia" by Susan L. =
Roth and used a spray bottle of water to squirt the kids at the end of =
the story when the frog spits out all the water he swallowed.
Now it was time for games. The kids were split into teams, although =
this could just be an individual obstacle course type game. To cross =
the room the kids had to do:
a crocodile death roll =3D roll on the floor about eight feet
crate the croc =3D crawl under two card tables
save the baby koala =3D pick up the stuffed koala that sat on top of the =
end of the card tables and carry it around the tables and set it back =
down in place
kangaroo hop to the finish line, about eight feet
The next game was a crocodile race. We got four skateboards, one =
per team. The first person from each team had to lay down on the =
skateboard and use his/her arms and feet to crawl to the finish line, =
pick up the skateboard, and carry it back to the next person in line. =
(A note here...Our Walmart was getting rid of a particular model of =
skateboards, so we bought them for less than $9.00 each. We'll use them =
for other types of relay races in the future. Of course, you might want =
to borrow boards from those kids you chase out of your parking lot!)
Our final game was a spider race. Four kids (=3D eight legs) linked =
arms and formed a circle. The kids could all be facing each other, all =
backs in the middle, or any combination. Start at one end of the room =
and race to other. Suggest the kids find teammates close to their own =
height. We had one team of three 5th graders and a kindergartener. The =
three big boys took off, dragging the little one behind them. Actually, =
the little one thought it was a terrific ride, but in terms of safety, =
it's best to have similar heights.
I didn't come up with any clever names for the snacks we served out =
on the lawn afterwards. It was just a glass of fruit punch and lemonade =
mixed together (or water) and a pretzels/fruit loops snack cup.
We had fun and I hope you will, too. Contact me at =
paulal@rpls.lib.il.us with any questions.

Hi everyone:) Thanks so much to everyone who responded to my stumper! I'm

The Mandie Series by Lois Gladdys Leppard, which is published by Bethany
House, a Christian publisher. I will definitely consider adding this series
to the collection, I know my patron will be happy as she really enjoyed
reading them. Thanks again, this list is always such a great resource!

forming such a group somewhere down the road. In order to tailor the web
site to meet those needs, YALSA's TAGS Task Force seeks your input via an
online survey.
Please take a few moments of your time to complete the survey, available at
http://www.leonline.com/yalsa/tagssurvey.html until 8/15. Once the results
have been compiled and analyzed, you can look forward to an online resource
that will assist you as you work with your teens.
Thanks in advance for your assistance,

Depending on the number of parents and how much help you have You might
consider creating a magnetic picture frame. These can be printed on magnetic
media which can be printed on an inkjet printer. It is probably too late for
this but digital pictures of the children involved with a Thanks sign would
work too.
Another possiblity is a "go to the front of the line" coupon for one reserve
or a coupon to waive a fee or a fine.
Finally you could let them choose from a list of books and/or videos the
library is planning to buy anyway. Add a bookplate and let them be the first
to borrow it.
For daycare workers a sincere thanks sent to their employers might be the
best reward.

Hello All,
Thank you to all who contributed ideas for after school programs. I'm
sorry it took me so long to get these all compiled. I am planning an
international theme for my kids and I will see how well a writing program
will go over with my teens. Below is the compilation and just a warning, it
is very long. You all had such wonderful ideas! Thank you again.

What about science experiments? These programs are hugely popular-but they
do take a lot of preparation and I don't know if you take registration for
your programs or not.
Cooking/food (if supplies are available to you)
I've been providing a program at our library called Library Adventures
forGrades 1-3. We are strongly discouraged from having craft programs since
our community rec center provides them, and so I try to keep my programs
tightly tied to literature. Last fall I did a geography-themed program. We
learned about maps (and drew some), seasons and climates (we did
experiments), time zones, weather, etc. I'd read stories based on these
themes each week and we would do an activity.
For older kids (grades 4-6) I would love to try a storytelling group or
reader's theatre. Or possibly a book discussion group. Other activities to
consider might be a game day where the kids play board games. I've seen
libraries that bring in speakers (like a yoga person) to teach kids
relaxation/meditation techniques to help them learn to manage stress. They
really enjoyed it.
Just a few ideas for a Monday afternoon. Hope this helps!
--Kate Hastings
Hi Juli,
I have done an afterschool games afternoon which is always very popular. I
bring in several board games and ask for a few volunteers (to referee if
necessary and to help children find someone to play with - rarely
necessary). Also have some people willing to play and/or teach chess.
The other program that has been fun is "improvisation". For the first week,
I start out by reading a book and having the children act out the parts -
either as I read it or they do the whole story again when the book is
finished. We do some fairytales that everyone knows - three little pigs,
goldilocks, etc. By the end, the children are pretty much doing everything
by themselves: choosing stories and roles, finding (very few) props, etc. I
am very flexible with this program and let it go where the group takes it.
Have fun.
Bonnie Dundas
We don't have any after school programs, but the local school does. One of
the most popular activities, I understand, is chess, which is quiet and
productive. Do you have any local chess teachers who would volunteer?
Also, do you have anyone who could do a creative writing program for you? A
number of libraries in our area have done then and they are quite
popular.Cooking classes are popular, too. It's better than a craft, because
they can eat the results.
Good luck.

Hi Jill,
We do a variety of things for afterschool programs. I am doing afterschool
for K, 1 & 2. This fall we are doing a program on Johnny Appleseed and
apples with a person from a local orchard coming to share some things about
apples with us. We sometimes read some books, might play some games and do
a brief craft if there is time. For my Goosebump Giggles program in October
I am planning a campfire (make believe, of course), telling stories and
playing some games, maybe some magic. Those are just a few of the things we
do. We have had people come in from the Park District talking about wild
animal safety, police officers coming to talk about safety awareness for
children. There are a number of local resources that do not charge for
their programs. I'm sure there would be some in your area.
Hope this helps a little.

I too am starting to work on putting together some after school programs.
I've included below some things I've gathered off pubyac in the past. I
should probably post them all to the list, but what with SRC I haven't had
a chance. Anyways I hope these are helpful and would love to hear myself

The most popular school age program we do is a monthly Saturday science
workshop. There is a group called Mad Science that comes in once a month
for $130 and does a hands on workshop for 30 children, we fill it every
month with a few people always calling the morning of to see if there are
any spare tickets.
We run our afterschool Elementary Explorers groups on the same 6 week
schedule that we use for storytimes and they are popular, one group for
Kindergarten and one for 1 and 2nd graders. Each session has a theme some
of the things they have done include
Fractured Fairytales, Dinosaurs, Dectectives, Poetry and Art. The poetry
isusually done with the 1 and 2nd graders during the spring session that
includes April's Poetry month.

We have a monthly program called "Going Places" that runs throughout the
school year. Each child has a passport and each month we pretend to "go"
somewhere.
We have "gone" to Australia, where we learned Australian songs (Kookaburra,
etc.), tasted Australian food (veggie mite sandwiches -- YECH!!), and read
"Alexander and the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day" where he
makes reference to Australia several times, then we discussed what his
remarks about Australia meant (down under, etc.).
We've done the North Pole, Africa, Ireland, Mardi Gras, Plymouth Rock, etc.
The kids have learned all kinds of games, tasted all kinds of foods, and
madecrafts, etc., from different countries, states, even outer space! They
have learned so much and had so much fun!

I work in a small public library in Bluffton, Ohio. I hold an afterschool
program for K-3rd graders every Monday.The kids come after school, but the
program is from 3:30-4:30. We always have a theme and they vary. I read one
or two more involved picture books, book talk chapter books or non-fiction
books. We have a simple snack, almost always a craft and often a game or
activity. Lots of the games are literature type games. I try to include
poetry and miscellaneous stuff, but usually plan too much. I limit
registration (required) to 20 kids, I always have that many sign up and
average 12-15 per week. It's fun and the kids like it a lot. I asked them
what could be better at the end of the spring session, and most of them
said they would like me to read more, which surprised me. I also always do
some kind of interactive reading, readers theater kinds of things, really
really popular. The program runs for 14 weeks, mid September through mid
December and mid January through mid April. If you have any questions,let
me know.

I haven't done such a thing here, but I did have an idea or two for you.
A mother once told me that her church has junior church service. They ask
the mothers who run it to do all the Sundays in a month so that the
children have some continuity and the mothers can do extended projects.
What does this have to do with you? It led me to think that you might want
to select a monthly theme and have all your activities for that month
revolve around the theme. You could do school in September, farms or ghost
stories in October, snow in January, flowers in May, etc. This would give
you a chance to do some extended activities, allowing time for artwork to
dry, for instance. People seeing the works in progress might be inspired to
join the group.
Also, if this is to be after school they will need a rest first. I used to
work in an after school program, and the children would arrive with fried
brains. We would give them a brief period to chat with each other, tell us
about their day, etc. before we proceeded with homework, which was the
thrust of our program, even if it isn't yours. Starting with a snack,
conversation, or quiet activity gives them a chance to recover. Sitting
with them during their snack or conversation does a world of good, also.
They love to be listened to. (Excuse the grammar.)
That's all that comes to mind now. Have fun.

My after school program is called "Wacky Wednesdays". We meet once a month,
3:30 - 4:30 pm, on the second Wednesday of the month, October through May,
for 3rd -5th graders. I started with 25 in our small program room and had
to raise it to 30 per session because of the demand. Now we meet in the
larger program room. 25 of the 30 were usually the same kids each time and
before they would leave the library after a "WW" they would sign up for the
next months "WW". I had one middle school volunteer and could have used
more.
Some of the kids' favorites were SpongeBob Square Pants, Grosslogy,
Telephone, Edible Turkeys, Indoor snowball fight, Gumdrop sculpture,
Pumpkin painting. Next year I'm looking forward to doing a Luau, Mardi
Gras, Lemony Snickett, Captain Underpants, Judy Blume's Fudge series, Magic
Tree House Etc. I'll look forward to your compilation for more ideals.
This May was the Telephone theme. For the first 20 minutes we talked about
the history of the telephone, acted out proper telephone etiquette, acted
out bad telephone etiquette (they loved being bad). I had two wooden phones
we used while acting it out. The next
20 minutes we played the game telephone. I divided the group into three
groups of 10, one was all girls, the other was blonde boys and the third
was brunette boys. None of them complained. I used Shel Silverstein poetry
books for the two to three sentences they would pass down the telephone
line. Each group had a different poem. When it hit the end the last person
would recite what was passed then the starter would read the actual poem or
part of the poem if it was too long. We finished with making tin can
telephones. I had a volunteer cover the cans with construction paper and
the kids got to decorate them and try them out when they were leaving. I
feed them pretzels and Kool-Aid.
Because of "Wacky Wednesdays" being so successful we added "Terrific
Tuesdays" for K-2nd graders. My co-worker runs that program. She started
this January and had 25 sign up each time.
We are a small library in a suburb outside of Chicago.
My advise to you is GO FOR IT!,
Good luck, Alice Johnson

Juli,
I'm not certain what type of programs you're looking for--how much money
and time spent in prep, age of kids, etc.--but I encourage you to look at
the database of program ideas we have created for some inspiration. You can
search it by various topics--age level, type of program, broad subject
areas and cost so you have some options. If you have any programs you would
like to submit, we would really love to have them to share. Submission is
quite quick and painless. And please feel free to share the url with
colleagues in your area.
The url is http://midhudson.org/resources/ezprogram.htm
Good luck with your programs!

We offer a book discussion for middle elementary school age, a story time
for grade 1-3, and "Culture Club," an exploration of other countries
through music, books, videos, food, and crafts. (This is also for
middle-to-upper elementary school age.) We also do crafts sometimes.

Hi Juli-
We do 2 different after school programs on a monthly basis, one for K-Grade
2 and another for Grades 3-6. The basic format for the former is a book, a
related activity or craft, one or 2 more books, and a game. For the older
kids, I read a book, do a related craft or activity and then a game. This
fall we'll be starting a program for Grades 6-9 but I don't have too many
particulars nailed down yet. I know I want to have a murder mystery party
and do some creative writing workshops, but the rest is kind of vague. If
you'd like more information on specific programsand game, I'd be happy to
email you the files.
Good Luck,

Juli,
I would be very interested in receiving a compilation of the ideas you
receive. I wish I could contribute something based on actual experience,
but I haven't yet worked in a public library or done a program like this.
When I was
researching string figures a few months back, I thought to myself that this
might make an interesting program for kids 7+ and up. String figures are
wonderfully multicultural, and there is quite a bit of information about
them on the Internet as well as in books. There's even an International
String Figure Association <http://www.isfa.org/isfa.htm> that has various
publications.
Here's one site that taught me some new figures:

Good luck!
Juli, my most popular after-school program last year was an American Girls
Tea Party. We had sandwiches, cookies, and tea, and the children brought
their dolls. We also played games and did some crafts. We had a great time
with it!
