We just instituted a 4 week (now 6) session storytime, so at the end we handed a survey to the Moms and Dads to see what they thought of the programs. If feasible, we wuold take a suggestion very seriously. Most want the programs longer, which we can't do. We changed our end of Summer Reading Club parties based on patrons suggestions. We used to hold just one, but this year we have one just for pre-schoolers and one for the school age children. It seems to have gone over well.

My group of 12-15 enjoyed going around the table at the first meeting, giving their name and something they like or like to do. The second person repeats what the first person said plus their own, the third person repeats #1 and #2 plus their own, etc. Fun to do and helps with names -- but always have name tags, too!

I also feed them pizza, chips, & soda. As they eat we talk about what types of programs they'd like to see at the library, and then I put them in charge of that program. I had 3 teens who wanted a wrestling demo program; they became the creators - they found a coach willing to present, they were willing to be demonstrators, and I became the liaison between the person who handles the meeting room openings and the presenter. They also created the flyers to advertise the program. Even though they only had 7 teens show up (they really wanted more), I thought the entire event was very successful. Other teens wanted to host a mystery program where other teens were the detectives; they made the clues/the scripts/flyers, brought the snacks, and gave ribbons as prizes. I have several teens who want a dance program, so when school begins again, they'll talk to their dance teachers about teaching an "I Don't Know How to Dance" program before all the homecoming, winter, and spring dances begin. Sorry this is long; it seemed to take on a life of its own...

I would just add a few things. Whatever you choose, chances are you won't be able to change your mural any time soon so pick subjects that will stand the test of time. Book characters are a natural choice in the library but also consider other themes, perhaps reflecting your local area's flora and fauna, history, etc. Depending upon how the mural is located relative to your collections, you don't want something that will be too childish for older kids or too daunting for the younger ones. Finally, make sure that your designers realize that they are working for you and that any decor in the Children's Room should get your approval. See if they can give you preliminary sketches, scaled down versions, etc. before they try to put Mickey or Sponge Bob up on your walls.

This works just fine, except for babysitters. Obviously parents would find it useful to have babysitters advertise on it. But we are uneasy about young people putting their names and phone numbers on public display. So far we have refused to take such notices, but we would like to if we can find a safe way to do so. What do other libraries do? Do you think getting parental permission for those under 18 would be ok?

The discussion tends toward young adult and adult graphic novels but there are occasional discussions of graphic novels for kids which you might be able to access from the archives. The GN-LIB site is: http://www.angelfire.com/comics/gnlib/. The "No Flying, No Tights" has a list of middle-school gns on its core lists page which might also be helpful. I try to buy titles as I hear of them. I've got several Gon gns (wordless, about a miniture t. rex type critter) by Masashi Tanaka, the Magic Pickle by Scott Morse, a Hamtaro collection (A Home for Hamtaro and other stories) by Ritsuko Kawai and Alison Dare by J.

She thinks they were varying shades of green with 20s style art work. The books ranged from nursery rhymes through stories appropriate for teens in chronological order. Purchased while living in the Tennessee area. Ring any bells with anyone? I've shown her Childcraft and she said that wasn't it. Amelia J.

I received some great possibilities to pass along to my patron! Cathy Burnsed Solina Marquis, MLS Kelly Girard Ellen Heaney Nora Liederbach Marie McDermed Carol Janoff Please forgive me if I missed anyone. The orginal stumper is: "I hope you can help a patron of mine. She's looking for a book retelling the story of the song Silent Night. It's the same story told in Silent Night : a Mouse Tale by Betsy Hernandez, but it's not this book. Basically, it's Christmas time and a starving eats the leather of the bellows on the piano(?) and as a result the community can't play the Christmas songs. The song Silent Night is composed so that it can be sung without musical accompaniment." Possible titles are: "The Christmas Mouse" by Elisabeth Wenning, 1959. "A little mouse living in the church of an Austrian village assuages his hunger by feasting on the organ bellows and causing the priest and the organist to quickly compose a song for Christmas Eve mass, the now famous "Silent night, holy night."" "A Carol for Christmas" by Ann Tompert, 1994. "Relates the important part a hungry mouse played in the creation of the Christmas carol "Silent Night."" "Johann's Gift to Christmas" by Jack Richards, 1972. "By eating the organ's bellows to keep from starving to death, Johann, the church mouse, is indirectly responsible for the writing of the carol "Silent Night."" "Silent Night with the Family Von Mouse" by Toby (only name!), 1977. "A hungry family of mice inadvertently bring about the creation of a Christmas carol." "The Church Mouse of Saint Nicholas" by Charles A. Brady, 1966. "Relates how the song "Silent Night", was actually inspired by an underweight church mouse."

A manager in my library system requested picture books about test-taking for children. She wanted something along the lines of "Arthur takes a Test" (not a real title) where Arthur takes a test in school and he realizes that test taking is not so bad. I checked A to Zoo and Novelist and came up with 2 possible titles: First Grade Takes a Test by Miriam Cohen and Henry and Mudge take the Big Test by Cynthia Rylant. I am hoping that I could get more suggestions from this fabulous resource. Please respond off list at reisenlr@co.rowan.nc.us. Thank you, Laurel Reisen Children's Services Supervisor Rowan Public Library 201 West Fisher Street Salisbury, NC 28144 704.638.3031 reisenlr@co.rowan.nc.us www.rowanpubliclibrary.org ------------------------------ From: TEACHINGTALES@aol.com To: PUBYAC@prairienet.org Subject: Storytelling Inservice for Librarians Date: Tue, 12 Aug 2003 14:45:15 CDT Hello everyone, I am not a librarian but I read the posts through this listserv with great interest. As a professional storyteller I feel I am partnered in some way with librarians, introducing children to stories and hopefully instilling a love of reading. In November I will be offering a three hour workshop for librarians on the basics of storytelling, how it can enhance your library programs, inspire children to use their imaginations and instruct librarians how to incorporate storytelling into their vast repertoire of skills. While I know what I want to share I thought I should go straight to the source. If you were taking this workshop what would you like to learn? What would be some skills you would like to take back with you? What would you find most useful? You may reply directly to me at TeachingTales@aol.com. Any thoughts will be greatly appreciated. Warm wishes, Karen Chace Massachusetts ------------------------------ End of PUBYAC Digest 1180 ************************* |
