Hello Pubyac,

I am in the process of weeding non-fiction and would like some advice on
criteria for weeding fairytales & folktales-398.2's. I have found myself
reluctant to get rid of anything, because I really like this section! Any
advice or comments are welcome. I will post responses to the list.

Thank You,

Hello! I was wondering if any public or school librarians out there have
done any programs or events for young adults (or even pre-teens) on civic
participation in democracy (voting & its importance).

I am a library student working on a website that could be a guide for
librarians on how to do such programs. Any successful -- or unsuccessful --
examples would be so very helpful. What works, what doesn't, what sources
did you use?


Thanks!

Hi everyone,
   We just realized that our storytelling doll book packets are just
cataloged with our easy books.  If you have storytelling dolls,
how/where does your library catalog them?  Would we put it in a note or
subject?  We are having a hard time deciding which would be best.
Any information would be helpful.  You can send your responses straight
to me (amstutre@oplin.org) or just to the list.

Thank you,

Hello internet folks! I'm hoping that you will be able to help me.  My
director and I are looking to change my position title and level(grade), but
since my previous experience is with a large system, and I'm the first
children's librarian they've had here, we could really use some input from
people who are familiar with small county systems.

Here's the story... I work for a 3-branch county library system. I am solely
responsible for all of the collection development, outreach and programming
(storytime, summer reading, etc. and related fundraising and publicity) for
children's and YA for all 3 branches. Although I am often the acting
supervisor, I do not directly supervise any staff members right now (someday
I may get an assistant!), I report only to the library director.

What title would be most appropriate and how many grades above/below
entry-level or library director would this be? If you are in a county
system, where would this fall within your county's structure?

Please respond directly to me and, if possible, include a full job
description. Any assistance is appreciated.

When I don't know who to ask, I am glad I can turn to PUBYAC!

Subject: Re-labeling of picture books
Date: Wed, 29 Oct 2003 00:37:00 CST


I've just begun working at an elementary school library where the
previous librarian put large blue bandaid-type stickers on the spines of
the picture books to cover the original labels. She has printed one
large letter on this blue sticker - "S" instead of "FIC SEU" for Dr.
Seuss books, etc. For a number of reasons, not least of which is how
ugly this "system" is, I don't want to continue this practice, but
re-re-labeling will take quite a bit of time and effort. Before I begin,
I would like to hear from any of you who may be doing something like
that or who have seen something like this at a school library. Is there
a valid pedagogical justification for not using a standard Dewey label
style?

Thanks

Thanks to all of you who responded to this question. 
Here's the question and the answer I received:

Do any of you know who wrote the book that the current
movie "Radio" is based on, and what the title of that
book is?  All I know is that the author is the same
person who "wrote" "The Rookie," but I don't know if
that's an author or screenwriter.  We have requested a
 book called Radio from another library, but can't
tell from the description (or lack thereof) whether
this is the correct one.
------------------

I found a website:
http://bandofblue.bandlink.org/2003RADIOPAGE.html
which says that the movie is based on the true story
of James Robert Kennedy, as depicted in a 1996 "Sports
Illustrated" article by Gary Smith.  The article has
been reprinted in the book _Beyond the Game: the
Collected Sportswriting of Gary Smith_.  The
screenwriter, Mike Rich, is the writer of "The Rookie"
and "Finding Forrester."

"The Rookie" was based on the autobiography "The
Oldest Rookie: Big League Dreams From a Small Town
Guy" by Jim Morris and Joel Engel. It was later
re-published with the title "The Rookie: The
Incredible True Story of Man Who Never Gave Up on His
Dream."

Hi PUBYAC -

We've got another stumper.  Thanks for searching your memory banks.
*It's a novel that the patron read in the late 70s or early 80s - took it
out of a middle school library.
*The book is about a pre-teen boy (11or 12-ish) who had an uncle who went
into the city to shoot pigeons.
*Takes place around the turn of the century. 
*The uncle had a girlfriend who wither was named Tuesday and born on
Sunday or the reverse.
*Cover has a picture of the uncle shooting pigeons.

Our librarian has checked library catalogs, Children's Lit database,
Amazon.  Does this ring any bells?

Thanks for considering this.  Please reply directly to me.

Subject: Fwd: compilation of Music CD's for primary grades - long
Date: Wed, 29 Oct 2003 00:41:50 CST



Hi. Thanks to everyone who responded to my request for
CD's for the 2nd - 5th grade crowd. I was asked to
post to list as others apparently have this same
problem, so here goes. Hope it helps!

There is an enormous amount of great music out there
for kids that has no
connection to mass media.  Do you have classic kids'
music like Ella
Jenkins and Raffi?  How about children's albums by
adult folks like Pete
Seeger or Sweet Honey in the Rock?

All the musicians that we have perform here at our
library have recordings
they sell.  By buying their recordings, we support the
arts as well as
promoting future library programs.  ("Hey, mom, I
remember hearing his/her
CD and it was great!  We have to go the show at the
library!)  Your library
system, state library or state library association may
have a list of
performers that you may have recordings that you can
purchase.

The Parents' Choice Foundation gives out awards
annually for kids' music
(among other things).  Check their website, under the
Parents' Choice
Awards menu:
http://www.parents-choice.org/default.cfm.  Music for
Little
People (http://www.mflp.com/) produces many nice
compilations of various
types of music, often with a narrator to give some
background disguised as
a story.  Speaking of stories, Rabbit Ears
(http://rabbitears.com/) does
some very nice audio stories accompanied by great
musicians like Taj Mahal
and Bela Fleck.

A lot of kids' musicians have their own websites,
these days, so if there
are people you've heard of, you can often find them
just by surfing the
web.  Some of my favorites (besides those that I've
already mentioned)
include Tom Pease (http://www.tompease.com/), Ken
Lonnquist
(http://www.kenland.com/) and Hans Mayer
(http://www.hansmayer.com/front.html) who are all
great singer/songwriters
from Wisconsin (got to plug the hometown boys) and
musical duo Kit and
Kaboodle (http://www.kitandkaboodle.com/) from the
Twin Cities who do some
of their own tunes and loony versions of folk tunes
(in their version of
"Home on the Range", it's an Amana Radar Range and in
their "Hole in the
Bottom of the Sea" there's Elvis in a
rhinestone-studded scuba jump
suit--you get the idea).

Last but not least, there are review journals.  SLJ
regularly reviews
children's audio so searching back issues of that
should net you quite a
pile of possibilities.  Dirty Linen
(http://www.dirtylinen.com) is a
bi-monthly journal devoted to reviewing folk music of
all sorts, including
music for kids.

A couple of titles we have in CD

Jazz for Kids: Everybody's Boppin' (Presch - gr. 5
according to review)
The Broadway Kids Sing Broadway (this one can be
enjoyed by older than
5th grade too -- my whole family enjoyed it)

My son's favorite music from age 11-12 was Weird Al
Yankovic.  You
have to have his CD's! (They are learning to make fun
of the world at this age....) P.S. My son is
now 17, but I think Weird Al is still around.

This is an area we have expanded over the last few
years, much to the

great, either. Some
other performers to consider: Animaniacs, Weird Al
Yankovic, Allen
Sherman and Dr. Demento(be selective). Sources for
suggestions are Kathy
O'Connell's KidsCorner playlists at www.kidscorner.org
from WXPN in
Philadelphia, www.prms.org "kid approved" listing and
Amazon -- music -- pop
-- teen pop(be selective), and of course, kids
themselves.

Some favorites of mine are Joanie Bartels, the Sugar
Beats, Mr. Al,
James Coffey and Jim Gill.  Joanie Bartels and the
Sugar Beats sing fun songs
>From the 60s, 70s and 80s.  Jim Gill writes most of
his own songs he is from
The Chicago area.  James Coffey is from Fort Wayne.
He sings train songs

There are some very good children's CD's especially
for this age,
though they aren't immediately recognized names.
Willy Welch is one--his
newest CD is "I Won't Eat That" and is available on
CDBaby.com.  You
might also look for Bill Haley (I may not be spelling
the last name
correctly.)  There are some Pete Seeger CDs of folk
songs that are put

Joe Scruggs and Tom Chapin are two other perfomers I
like.  They write
funny, warm songs that have appeal at least to grades
three or four.

I had a call today from an elementary school social worker.  She is looking
for books for 3-6th grade level (can be picture books for her to read to
them) on the topic of cooperation and citizenship.  Any ideas would be
great! Send to loriosmon@hotmail.com please.

Hi all,

I'm doing a grocery-based storytime and have only found a few titles:

To Market, To Market by Anne Miranda
Market Day by Lois Ehlert
The Supermarket by Anne Rockwell
Don't Forget the Bacon by Pat Hutchins

Does anybody have any other ideas about shopping stories?

TIA,

Katrina

A teacher is searching for chapter books suitable for third through fifth
graders featuring a shy student who eventually makes friends. We've
searched -
The Right Book, the Right Time, Best Books for Girls/Boys,
Books in Print, our catalog, and found many stories featuring shy kids
gaining confidence in a variety of ways, but the teacher hopes for
something a little more specific that targets friendship and making
friends.

Any titles come to mind that might help?  Please reply to me.  Thank you!
