However, Disney has made a lot of books accessible to children who may not have picked up the book from a library shelf in the first place, even if you dislike the way a good book can be chopped up to fit a 90 minute movie time deadline. To 'combat' this lack of awareness, we have compiled a list "So you've seen the movie why not read the book?" The lists have been popular and a reasonable share of them have gotten a wider audience in the last couple of years.

It is "Dinny Gordon, Freshman" by Anne Emery (1959). Dinny has 3 best friends, each of whom has her own particular beauty issue (one is too tall, one is too chubby, one has acne), and they cannot understand why book-loving Dinny is not as boy-crazy as they are. The tall friend does indeed begin attending charm school and models for some photos in the local newspaper, just as I remembered. Thank you, Charli, and everyone else who responded - I read this book as a young girl many years ago, and am so glad to have finally identified it. ------------------------------ From: "Beth Snow" <bethsno@mail.sgcl.org> To: <pubyac@prairienet.org> Subject: stumper--A Million Years of Hurt/alien Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: textbrlain; charset=us-ascii Date: Mon, 18 Aug 2003 12:12:36 CDT Hi! My colleagues have received a stumper; we have checked the "usual suspects" for both adult and juvenile material and wondered if anyone out there might have an idea about this: *Patron thinks title might be _A Million Years of Hurt_ and thinks it is from the 1970s. *Patron doesn't know if it is a children's book but thinks it might be because she remembers her mother reading it to her. *Patron thinks it might be about an alien.

The thinking was it would be easier to find all available copies of a particular title. After trying it for two years, we found that our paperback circulation dropped quite a bit in that period. We pulled them back out, and shelved them in a separate area, and the circ went back up substantially. It seems our kids prefer browsing those particular materials, and the separate shelving facilitates that process better perhaps. Similar thing here: We pulled the nonfiction first readers from the first reader section and put them with general nonfiction. They stopped going out. These were not the New True books, but the easier ones, Fowler, etc. Bonita ------------------------------ From: "Donna MacKinney" <Dmackin@pisd.edu> To: <pubyac@prairienet.org> Subject: Re: Sources of/for bilingual English/Bengali children's books?

You guys are good! I never expected an answer to this stumper, but I got two potential answers. Patricia Froelich suggested a textbook reader titled "Singing Wheels" by Mabel O'Donnell, Florence Hoopes, and Margaret Campbell (Row Peterson, 1952). Liz Fuller, Diane Glasson and Susan Smith all sent the text to a poem titled "Hastings Mill" by Cecily Fox-Smith, published in "The Home Book of Verse" by Burton Egbert Stevenson. I passed both suggestions on the the reference librarian, who was very impressed by the responses (YAY for PUBYAC!) We're waiting to hear back from the patron to see if she recognizes these titles. Thanks again for the help! Fredda Original stumper description below: The patron wants to surprise her mother, who's in her 60s, with this story or book. It was a story published in the mother's grammer school reader (so we're talking at least 50 years ago) and the title is either "Hasting Mill" or Hastings Mill". Our reference staff have checked all their usual sources to no avail. -- Fredda Williams Children's Services Manager Knox County Public Library System 500 West Church Ave. Knoxville, TN 37902 (865) 215-8761 fwilliams@knoxlib.org ------------------------------ From: jmaskell@sover.net To: pubyac@prairienet.org Subject: Re: Captain Underpants MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: textbrlain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Date: Mon, 18 Aug 2003 12:13:28 CDT Although it may not work for a party, we created a multi-cast dramatic reading of Captain Underpants and the Wrath of the Wicked Wedgie Woman. I projected an animated PowerPoint production that went along with the kids reading/acting. Because we were using the images we did have to get permission first, which wasn't a problem. The cast and the audience had a great time, it took little effort (all of the fun of theater without the rehearsals), and is something we've done with Junie B Jones, and are hoping to do with other books. ~Sam ****************************** Samantha Maskell, Youth Services Librarian Rockingham Free Public Library 65 Westminster Street Bellows Falls, VT 05101 802.463.4270 Quoting Terri Norstrom <tnorstrom@fremontlibrary.org>: > charset="iso-8859-1" > Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable > content-class: urn:content-classes:message > X-edited-by: pyowner@pallasinc.com > Date: Fri, 15 Aug 2003 12:13:52 CDT > Reply-To: pubyac@prairienet.org > Sender: owner-pubyac@prairienet.org > X-Listprocessor-Version: 8.2.07 -- ListProc(tm) by CREN > > I will be hosting a Captain Underpants Party in September.

Weston Woods is one catalog that does this. You have to read the fine print, though--some videos come with rights that are limited to schools (although many are fine for library use) and some videos in the catalogs are home use only. These are quality films based on children's books, not full legnth feature films. Good for storytime, after school programs, and the like.

I don't mean to suggest that there aren't people who are threats to kids' safety and lives out there (I don't think that I would publicly display minors names and contact info, either) but I wonder if this fear, like so many others, is artificially heightened by media both supposedly true news media and various entertainment formats. Eric, I've been thinking along similar lines. I just did a search for "stranger rape statistics" and the numbers were horrifying, but who knows how accurate they are? On the other hand, here's a hopeful note from the Washington Post in August of last year: "Federal statistics show that the abduction of children by strangers remains among the rarest crimes -- just 115 cases in 1999, the last year for which complete statistics are available. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children projects that the most serious type of case is declining. But it is a crime that has received heavy news coverage this summer because of several particularly sensational cases."

Many who replied said their library has a policy along the lines of 'non-profit' notices only. We used to do that too, but changed it a few years ago. I just wonder if libraries with such policies have given much thought recently to why that policy exists. Who is it aiding? We decided that limiting the notice board in such a way restricted the usefulness of the information available to library customers, and we couldn't think why we had done so for so long. We will now take almost anything, as long as it is within our displayed guidelines: "This board is for notices about services and events of interest to parents and children. Notices must be A4 or smaller. Notices must be given to Library staff to place on the board. The Library reserves the right to refuse or remove any item. Notices are removed when they are tatty or out of date." Perhaps your situations are quite different from ours, but I think it is always a good idea to reconsider long-held policies to see if they are still fulfilling a purpose.
