I apologize for cross-postings; this list is going out to YALSA-BK, YA-YAAC, and PUBYAC. Thanks to everyone who sent me responses for my plea for science fair websites. The science fair night was last night and went really well... I had a display board with color photocopies of bookcovers, and 3-4 elementary experiements for the kids to try out (browning apples, extra-fine steel wool in baby oil with magnets, canola oil in seltzer water, and shining pennies with salt and vinegar). Please find below my "dirty" (not nice and neat) listing of science fair web resources. Eventually I will get it cleaned up, but just haven't had the time.

Below, please find everyone's e-mail. I'm still waiting for a few of the books to come in before I make my selection. They were all wonderful suggestions! Amy Wilson Children's Department Hermitage Branch Library 3700 James Kay Lane Hermitage, TN 37076 Public Library of Nashville/Davidson County amy.wilson@nashville.gov _________________________________________ Original post: Dear PUBYACers, Could anyone recommend a good children's Christmas book that I could transform into a puppet show? Something with several characters, but not too long. Once a month, the school-age kids put on a puppet show (we call it Puppet Club). The children pick a character or prop. I give them a script and all materials to make a puppet. They make their puppet, put on the show, then take home their script and puppet (hopefully to perform for other family members and friends). I have a script ready for November, "Silly Tilly's Thanksgiving Dinner," but I'm really stumped on something Christmas/December related. I'd like to have it based on a book. In the past we've done "The Three Little Pigs," "The Frog Prince," "Where The Wild Things Are," and "Piggie Pie." Please respond to amy.wilson@nashville.gov Thanks in advance, Amy Wilson __________________________________________________ Responses: "Hi Amy- I've been thinking of doing the same thing at my branch, and there are a few Christmas/Santa stories that come to mind: "That's not Santa" (Santa's suit was sent to the cleaners by Mrs. Claus, and he tries on a number of outfits (cowboy, etc.) Each time he tries on something, the elves & reindeer say, "That's not Santa". It's short & cute. I just looked around my house, and I can't find the book right now-I hope I have the title correct... Also, even though it's not a Christmas story per se, the Elves & the Shoemaker may do. Hope this helps. A. Badillo ------------------------------ Dear Amy This is not specfically for puppets but I bet you could make it work. RTE #9 ~ The Baker's Dozen http://www.aaronshep.com/rt/RTE09.html I have told this story at Christmas time and it is always well received. Good luck!

The biggest difference we made were changing the main characters to "Rabbit and Rasta" because we didn't have Mole or Troll puppets. But if the kids are making the puppets, then you could easily have Mole and Troll. If you're interested, I'll gladly send you a copy of the script. Good luck!

Live Oak Angleton, TX 77515 979.864.1505 sjoiner@bcls.lib.tx.us -------------------------------------------------------- Hi Amy, A couple of years ago we took the book The Elf's Hat by Brigitte Weninger and turned it into a puppet show for the holidays. I made a big felt hat and we used animal puppets for all the characters and the folkmanis elf puppet for the elf. Hope This Helps, Michele McGing Youth Service Librarian Portage County District Library www.portagelibrary.org --------------------------------------------------------- How about the title: "How SIx FOund Christmas" by Trina Schart Hyman? Stephanie Holman ---------------------------------------------------------- Amy - One puppet show that my teens have done for several years is from the book, Santa's New Suit by Laura Rader. Characters include Santa (with several different new suits), Mrs. Claus, a salesman, 3-4 elves, 3-4 reindeer, 2-4 children and the narrator. Good luck and have fun! Kris Chipps, Teen Services Smoky Hill Branch Library Centennial, Co. 80015 kchipps@ald.lib.co.us ----------------------------------------------------------- "Harvey Slumpfenberger's Christmas Present" by John Burningham is fun. Santa forgets to deliver one present, and makes a long journey back from the North Pole to do it. In the book he gets help from a motorcyclists and others. I adapted liberally, and used animals to help him along the way. So he rides a hopping frog for a while until he falls off; floats on a crocodile's back until he falls in the water; swings from a tree with a monkey until he gets dropped; and gets carried to the top of the mountain by a dragon. Then after he delivers the present he goes through the same things, only faster. Another one I've done is "Frog and Toad: Christmas Eve," which is in "Frog and Toad All Year" by Arnold Lobel. Toad imagines that terrible things have happened to Frog on his way over for Christmas Eve. I'd have Toad worrying, then switch to Frog acting out the imagined disaster (falling down a hole, getting lost in the dark...). Frog arrives on time and gives Toad a clock for a Christmas present so he won't worry needlessly. This one is easier and shorter than Harvey, though not quite as "Christmas-y." I don't have scripts for either one, but they're not too hard to adapt... Good luck! - Steven Engelfried, Head of Youth Services Beaverton City Library 12375 SW 5th Street Beaverton, OR 97005 503-526-2599 sengelfried@ci.beaverton.or.us ----------------------------------------------------- How about A WISH FOR WINGS THAT WORK by Berkley Breathed, THE CHRISTMAS WREATH by James Hoffman, or CHRISTMAS TROLLS by Jan Brett?

A few years ago there was a shooting at a library in Sacramento, a young man was found murdered in another southern California public library and a young girl assaulted at a third. The last one resulted in staff being named in a lawsuit by the parent who was actually present in the building when it occurred. The library I work for has a posted policy that children 11 and under must be accompanied and supervised at all times by someone at least 14 years of age. We have this posted in the building and will provide parents with detailed information explaining the policy should it be necessary. When children sign up to use the computers, ask us a reference question or are disruptive we ask where their parent is if they are not immediately present. If the parent is downstairs we page them over the intercom. If they are home or at work we call them. After a certain amount of time and we are unable to reach the parent we will call the police and let them take over. Are we paranoid? Perhaps, especially me as head of children's services and our circ supervisor who once worked for the police department, but it has been a workable policy and we have had very few complaints from parents once they understand our reasons for the policy. Renee Tobin Senior Librarian Rancho Cucamonga Public Library -----Original Message----- From: Terrill [mailto:trumpeter2@shaw.ca] Sent: Friday, November 07, 2003 1:30 AM To: pubyac@prairienet.org Subject: For Karen and afterschool ideas Karen - our colleagues may agree with us, but your good intentions and care for your young patrons is above and beyond the call. Unfortunately, unless your library is different, we usually don't have the funding to provide staff time for the level of childcare that you are talking about. And make no mistake, it is child-minding that it is going on there. The policy in my regional library system, children under 13 must be attended by a parent or guardian. We are not meant to watch for their saftety and well-being. I know that sounds harsh, as of course we all attend to anyone that seems to be in distress, but that should only be an occassional thing, not a daily event. I believe you need to attend to your policy on this matter and inform the parents of the children that are in your care of some such policy. And yes, you should set a what-if scenario. If they are there and causing disruptions or extra attendance on your/staffs part, you need to phone an adult responsible for them, whether thats at their home, or their work if possible. The rest of the library patrons need your services too, and though its sad that these childrend are at loose ends, you have to look after your job and duties. Having said that, we are all concerned about latch-key kids, and we know the library is a fairly safe place for people. Our elementary schools have after afterschool care programs ... maybe direct your energy there, tell them the situation, the kids names and see if they can take over this situation. Also, if you do want to have them there, but with some kind of supervision or program (which would perhaps direct their energies) consider going to the Lions or Rotary or some service club to see if they will take on an afterschool care program, if they fund it, you can afford to hire someone to do an afterschool program. I hope this helps, and I hate to be a "tough-librarian" type, but as Spock says "The needs of the many, outweigh the needs of the few" Yours, boldly going .... ;) Terrill Scott Fraser Valley Regional Library British Columbia Canada "Let us read and let us dance, two amusements that will never do any harm to the world." - Voltaire ------------------------------ From: "Barbara Scott" <barbarascott@hotmail.com> To: OPLINLIST@EPICURUS.OPLIN.LIB.OH.US, PUBYAC@prairienet.org Subject: Caldecott Read-In...

I've also attached my finished document (which is titled Additional Resources because it's based on a list that I only have in a photocopied format) as well as a list compiled by the folks of the Surrey Public Library in BC (and these nice folks included annotations, which I didn't). [Moderator: Attachments don't make it intact through the listserver, so they are not appearing here.--Shannon ] Titles recommended are: A Terrible Thing Happened by Margaret Holmes. Here's the catalog description: After Sherman sees something terrible happen, he becomes anxious and then angry, but when a counselor helps him talk about these emotions he feels better. The good thing about the book is they never mention the terrible thing so it could be used for natural disasters as well as those that are more than "man made".
