They, along with other school districts they checked with, use 921 for biographies, but the book companies they work with offer B for cataloging. When he asked them about changing to 921, they said they use B because public libraries use it and want it. Public libraries in our system use 921 except one that uses 901,902. My question to other public libraries: Do you use B for biographies? Do you have jobbers who offer 921 for cataloging?

The materials can be in any format (excluding periodicals) and can be shelved in any area of the library; the idea is just that it be *available* to YA's somewhere within the library. I have a set amount of time in which to spend this money and as I am part-time am somewhat concerned about being able to do so. Our library currently has some items with a multicultural emphasis (mostly the popular items one would expect a mid-size library to own) but I'd like to deepen the collection, especially since we have a large Hispanic and African-American patron base. (However, I am open to adding materials about other ethnicities as well.) I guess I'm looking for suggestions as to where to find these materials (I will be ordering a couple of material selection books with a multicultural emphasis). I do have some publishers' sites bookmarked too--Arte Publico comes to mind. Or if anyone just knows of a particularly good title, that'd be great too. Any suggestions are appreciated. You can just reply to me so as to avoid flooding the listserv.

An employee with the Governor's Office was going to come to the library to share information with participants on how they should contact their legislators. The presentation was going to consist of tips for writing, e-mailing, and making phone calls. Unfortunately not enough people registered to make the trip worthwhile for the presenter, so he backed out. There's a book out called CIVICS FOR DEMOCRACY: A JOURNEY FOR TEACHERS AND STUDENTS by Katherine Isaac. It seems like a great source for someone contemplating programs on civic participation. Melanie mkakers@uiuc.edu wrote: 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!

He remembers it having some illustrations, but thinks the story is longer than a typical picture book. The story is about a boy who is ill enough to be *house-bound* living with his grandfather who is in a wheelchair. The boy and grandpa tell stories to each other and write them on the backs of maps with stubby pencils. Eventually, the boy begins to recover and grow stronger and is able to go out and walk about. He's a bit sad about *leaving grandpa behind.* When the boy finally let's grandpa in on his recovery, grandpa reveals that he, too, has recovered and can walk was keeping it as a surprise for his grandson. My patron also thinks the story may take place in Denmark or a seaside/port town of some sort. I checked various combinations of grandpa/father and wheelchair and stories and maps in our libraries catalog, our library system's union catalog and Worldcat to no avail. Any one recognize this?

A girl is the last person to be picked up after dance class. While she is waiting for the mother, the book also shows scenes of what is keeping the mother, who is driving a VW, from getting there on time - traffic jams, etc. We've found a number of other books that feature either mother coming home or child being the last to picked up from daycare/school, etc. but the patron is clear on the two elements of dance class and the VW (can't remember now, sorry, whether it was a VW bug or van). Please reply to me off list. Thanks.
