I have very little = space in my Subject line, that I can see without opening the email, = putting in PUBYAC would take up most of that space - in fact, I see that = it has already!

King Arthur Date: Tue, 7 Oct 2003 21:56:41 CDT Hi, all! Thanks to everyone who took the time to reply to me with possible titles Connie Charron wrote in with what I'm sure is the right book in answer to my stumper. The stumper was: ***************************************** A high school student is looking for a contemporary King Arthur story. A young man, who doesn't know he is really King Arthur, lives with his father who used to be the caretaker of a great estate. Spurred by some crisis or other, Merlin arrives and informs the young man of his true destiny. Ring any bells? Thanks so much, Elizabeth Bluemle ****************************************** And CONNIE'S ANSWER [snipped] is: I believe your student may be looking for Avalon: the Return of King Arthur by Stephen Lawhead. It is an adult fiction book. I can't wait to show Jared the book when he comes to work this week! Cheers, Elizabeth ------------------------------ From: Susan Wizinsky <swizinsk@gfn.org> To: Andrea Johnson <ajohnson@cooklib.org> Subject: RE: How to keep your composure. Date: Tue, 7 Oct 2003 21:56:54 CDT Reminds me of my first grade tour today. I was giving a tour to kids from the local Catholic school. We were talking about biographies and I asked the kids to name someone that they would like to know more about. A little girl in the front row said "Jesus". Of course I had to explain that information about Jesus was in another location... Susan Susan E. Wizinsky, M.S.L.S.

Please forgive me if it's already been posted. Susan Harding answered my question about the good/evil toys who get in a battle, with the good leader grievously injured only to be restored to health by his friends sharing their stuffing with him. The book is ODDKINS: A FABLE FOR ALL AGES by Dean Koontz. My customer was thrilled. Yea Susan!

Date: Tue, 7 Oct 2003 21:57:25 CDT We are planning our first lap sit program and need some help! Do any of you have a song/rhyme/something you use at the beginning of each program that incorporates the child's name? We're anticipating 15 or so participants so we are looking for something fairly short and catchy. If you respond to me personally (vs. the list), please email me at campbd@ci.loveland.co.us. Thanks for all your terrific help!!

The Maryland Blue Crab Young Reader Award has been established to promote excellence in writing for beginning (grades K-2) and transitional (grades 2-4) readers, and to provide a resource list of the best books each year at these reading levels for librarians, teachers, and parents. A committee of librarians and teachers from around the state will select one book to receive the award in each of the following categories each year: Beginning Reader Fiction, Beginning Reader Nonfiction, Transitional Fiction, Transitional Nonfiction. In addition, the Blue Crab committee will release an annotated honor list of approximately 15 titles for each reading level. Criteria for judging include appropriateness for target age group, overall child appeal, appropriateness of text to support the needs of beginning readers, quality of illustrations and how they support or extend the text, and visual appeal. The winners of the 2004 Maryland Blue Crab Awards and honor lists will be announced at CSD's Fall Conference in September 2004. For more information, see the Maryland Blue Crab Young Reader Award website at <http://www.mdlib.org/divisions/csd/blue.html> ------------------------------ From: Mary Geist <mgeist@meherrinlib.org> To: 'PUBlic librarians serving Young Adults and Children' Subject: Growing-up books for tweens request Date: Tue, 7 Oct 2003 21:58:19 CDT Dear Yac'ers: Have had requests lately from several patrons, including my sister-in-law, the mother of a 9 year old, for books on puberty and growing up for very young tweens. The afore-mentioned niece has already begun to "develop," and needs some basic info about growing up without all the reproduction details (she still thinks boys are "gross"). We have the excellent "Care and Keeping of You" from the American Girls collection, which is hygiene, getting your period, breasts, etc, but no sex. Can anyone recommend others along the same lines? How about books for younger boys? Thanks. Will post results.
