Hello All,

Does anyone have the lyrics to "This House Must Be Haunted" sung to the tune
of "Skip to My Lou"? I tried the internet and had no luck.

It was suggested in something that I saved from several years ago and is
supposed to be from Raising the Roof: Children's Stories and Activities on
Houses.  I cannot locate that source. Please reply directly to me.

Hello,

I'm a library student at the University of Illinois and new to this list. I
am working on an assignment, making a web page that will serve as a resource
to librarians interested in providing library services and programs for
homeless youth and/or their families.  I have found some information but not
a lot.  I'd love to hear of any programs or services, in-house or outreach,
that libraries may be doing out there.

Sincerely,

MIME-Version: 1.0

Date: Fri, 17 Oct 2003 15:10:39 CDT

Hi again,
I have a little more information on the stumper I posted on the Thanksgiving
story.
I wrote :  "A patron is looking for a chapter book she read in the early
'80s. The
story is about a family during a Thanksgiving in which everything that could
possibly go wrong - did. She particularly remembers a heated sidewalk and
other technology that made the book "futuristic" but says it wasn't sci fi.
It may have had the word "Thanksgiving" in the title."

Several people have suggested the title Thanksgiving at the Tappletons, a
picture book by Eileen Spinelli.  My patron took a look at the information
on amazon.com and said this is not it.  The book she is looking for is
definitely a chapter book - there were no illustrations, she says - and the
characters were human not animals.  She remembers the main character being a
boy about twelve years old, who for some reason did not want to participate
in the family Thanksgiving activities.  Hope that helps and someone knows
the title.  Thanks to all those who responded so far!

Hello all,

I have a question for all your creative minds.  We are hosting a spooky
scavenger hunt a few days before Hallowe'en and part of the hunt is making a
venture into the 'laboratory.'  We plan to have a dark room with a bunch of
gross things the kids can put their hands in, like peeled grapes for eyes,
cold spaghetti for intestines and the like.  What I'd like from you is a few
more ideas to gross the kids out with.

I appreciate all the help and grossness.  :)

I am just taking a moment to vent and ask if the collective mind agrees.

Does anyone else out there feel that A Series of Unfortunate Events should
have also been published in paperback?  The librarians in my system are
constantly lamenting that they cannot afford multiple copies and would
definitely buy more if they could purchase Lemony Snicket's books in this
format.

I now step off my soapbox.  Thanks for reading (and hopefully agreeing)!

Subject: AR again
Date: Fri, 17 Oct 2003 15:42:07 CDT

Hello,

Apparently at the last PTA meeting or whatever there were parents =
raising a
big stink because our books are not shelved on the basis of AR levels. =
The
parents feel that it takes them too long to find the books.  I am =
incredibly
strongly opposed to doing this for several reasons.

1. Does anybody shelve like this in a public library?

2. Can you help me think of reasons against it not listed below?

3. How can I help parents with this, they are patrons after all, without
spending all my time on this and without rearranging the library to =
cater to
this small group.

Thanks,
Beth Gaughan
Beech Grove Public Library



Beyond the problems with the AR system itself and just from a service =
point
of view:

1. We are a public library and serve more then our single school system
including additional AR schools that do not use the same list and =
several
schools that don't use AR at all.

2. This is a school program which is maintained within the school =
libraries
(yes we still have school libraries here).

3. I don't see how we could do this without making it impossible to find =
a
specific title (assuming you don't know it's AR level off the top of =
your
head) The students from this school visit the library once a week and =
select
books with their class. (they are becoming increasingly disrespectful =
which
is not endearing them to me anyhow) Because they destroy any shelve they
touch and because the teachers want them to get something they can read =
they
are limited to picture books and easy readers. We have also set up a =
shelf
of easy non-fiction and early chapter books specifically for them. This
already adds another step to trying to find titles, directing patrons to
materials etc.

4. Time. Those class visits consume my entire monday and wednesday
afternoons not to mention the prep time for the story, game, or other
programming I do with them. I am the youth services department, I do
programs for infants,toddlers, preschoolers, school age and teens. I do =
not
have the time to reorganize, retrain our shelvers, re orient every other
patron in the library etc. The staff is stretched as it is.  We are =
trying
to mark the school's AR list with what we have, but it's 70 pages and no =
one
has had time to complete it.

5. I do not, and feel no obligation to order a book because it is AR. If
there is a book that is quality and it happens to be an AR book fine. =
But I
really don't want demands that I buy more level 5 books or whatever =
because
that shelf has less then the others.

6. I want to support the idea with the kids that my library is the place =
to
come get the fun stuff to read on your own.  I do not want them to feel =
that
they can only pick from one shelf, maybe they want to read a favorite =
from
when they were little, or try to get through Goblet of Fire even if they
usually read Junie B. Jones. Great! They are here, they are reading, I'm
happy.

At Atlanta-Fulton Public Library's system, they stay for children under 15
years.  After 15 years, they are on their own  (although many librarians
will
stay anyway).   One manager & 1 other staff person stays.  They're required
to
stay with the child 15 minutes, then call the police to get the child.
Usually
the parents show within the 15 minute period, which gives the library staff
an opportunity for a mini lecture on not leaving children alone in the
library,
this is a public place, we close at such & such a time, we would have been
forced to call the police, etc....Usually the parent is apologetic and
doesn't
repeat the action.  At least this is what I understood of the policy when I
was
there once.

I began holding Yu-Gi-Oh! free dueling programs and after requests opened it
up to Magic and Pokemon players as well. I advertise it as an all-cards
gaming program now and its great. Many kids show up with all types of cards
and play various games, and once child actually showed up with a deck of
regular playing cards and I ended up playing Rummy with him! No problems in
any area with these programs, although I do watch the older kids closely
because they look like vultures scanning a corn field when the younger
players are willing to trade. Good luck, Melissa MacLeod, Carver Public

Hi, everyone.  At the beginning of October, I sent an e-mail requesting
personal opinions on the quality of the puppet stages from Pick-Me Products
so my library could make an informed decision.  Thank you to Victoria Haddon
and Jennifer Baker for responding.

Victoria wrote,

Tracie, we have both of those puppet stages.  We absolutely adore the
pack-up stage.  We took it along for all out SRC presentations.  It weighs
next to nothing and folds up small enough to carry easily.  The other came
with an adorable king puppet and is made out of a corrugated plastic that is
held together with wooden pegs. If you're a big person, you could knock it
over easily.  But for the price, it certainly is handy.  Both are very
cleverly put together.

Jennifer wrote,


we bought two of the aluminum frame stages from themafter seeing them in use
by a professional puppeteerin sacramento. they have pros and cons. pros:
they aredefinitely portable and easy/quick to set up. cons:you can really
only fit about two adults (maybe 3 ifyou're small) behind it so not good for
largeproductions. also you can't lean against it at all.this may not sound
very important but a lot of uswithout a lot of upper body strength get tired
afterholding up a puppet for three or four minutes. we wereused to being
able to lean against our old stage forsupport. this is still a good product,
just would haveliked to have known about it before.Tracie Partridge

Hi All--

I recently had a parent notice that nearly all of the books in our "story
collection" (anthologies of short stories) are of the 'scary stories to
tell in the dark' variety.  While she doesn't have any objections to these
types of books, they're not what her kids like to read.  She asked if I
could, when ordering books for this collection, keep an eye out for
non-scary short stories that school age kids might like.  I've been doing
some searching, and haven't come up with many titles...  What are some of
your favorite (or popular in your library) story collections?  I'd love
some suggestions -- or suggestions about where to find anthologies for
kids.  Thanks so much!

My director has asked me to compile a short list (about 15) of popular
children's books (the kind with enduring popularity). This is to go with
lists from 1903, 1953, and 1994.  Picture books and chapter books, not
young adult, are what we are looking at.  So far I have Harry Potter
books, Series of Unfortunate Events, Junie B. Jones, Redwall, Captain
Underpants, Olivia, and Marc Brown's Arthur. I would appreciate it if
any of you would just email me some favorites you see at your library so
I can get some more universal titles.
Thank you so much!
