I was hoping someone on this listserv may be able to help. Thanks for your time. (read message below) Janet Coulas Children's Librarian jcoulas@post.library.on.ca Hello, We are looking at placing some CD listening stations in our new library. I would love to hear your experiences (good or bad). I am also looking for possible vendors who sell these stations. I am especially looking for stations which have "Teen" appeal! Thank you so much for your time and input. Kelly Thompson Interlibrary Loans/Audiovisual Petawawa Public Library (OPEV) 16 Civic Centre Rd. Petawawa.

Need to recharge your services to get kids clamoring to check out more books? This Webcast offers a wide range of fresh ideas for promoting reading at the early childhood, school age and teen levels, with practical suggestions for promotional materials, and flexible approaches to programs that can be adapted to individual libraries' needs and resources. (will last approximately an hour) COST: There is *no charge* for Infopeople Webcasts For more information and to participate http://www.infopeople.org/training/webcasts/12-04-03_reading.html TRAINER: Katie O'Dell, Reading Promotions Coordinator for the Multnomah County Library in Portland Oregon, is the teacher for this event. Katie manages author and illustrator visits, the summer reading program for over 42,000 youths, and the system-wide book discussion groups. She is an active member of the American Library Association and has served on the Newbery and Caldecott Award committees as well as the Notable Children's Book Committee. FYI: Information from community focus groups throughout California indicates that people expect the library -- the public library in particular -- to provide services and activities that promote reading and serve readers. Infopeople will help you to meet this expectation by providing a variety of training opportunities designed to help staff learn skills, gather new ideas, and develop local plans for reading promotion. FYI from Stephanie Stokes: If you missed Katie O'Dell's "Promoting Reading to Adults" or will miss the above "Promoting Reading to Youth" -- Kool news they archive recordings of the live Webcasts so they can be viewed late on Online. Of course, you can't ask questions or chat. The Handouts are also available Online and are a goldmine of resources!

A patron is looking for a Nancy Drew mystery in which a clock chimes (or tolls) 13 times before a crime is about to be committed. It is NOT "Mystery of the Old Clock" (that would be too easy) Not being a N.D. fan, and not finding a website that will search plots, I turn to the those listers who are fans of the Titian-haired detective.

We don't have much space, so something fairly small, low to the ground, and perhaps something modular. What I'm trying to do is set up an area where children and families can relax and share books together. If you have something you like, or know of a vendor whom I might contact, I would appreciate hearing from you. Also, many thanks to everyone who contributes to this list. As a new children's librarian, I have learned so much from you all. Sincerely, Rosanne Macek Rosanne M.

The book is THE MAN WITH THE TAKE-APART HEAD by Nancy Winslow. My patron was gushing with enthusiasm over how impressed she was that I found the actual title to this book. My library is now Inter-library loaning the book for her. Once again, Thank you! Carol Hopkins Children's Librarian Puyallup Public Library -----Original Message----- From: Carol Hopkins To: 'PUBYAC@prairienet.org' Sent: 11/19/2003 1:24 AM Subject: Stumper - Take apart face Hello great and wonderful Yaccers! I have another patron who would like to find a favorite book from his childhood (so he can read it to his son). This book he remembers is about a man who had to change his face every night. The patron remembers that one time the man forgot to put on his ears so a bunny gave him his ears instead. Then the man was able to save something because he heard a cry for help with the larger rabbit ears. The patron thinks it is an easy chapter book with a possible title of "The Man With the Take Apart Face". This book would have been read in the seventies or early eighties. Please send any suggestions to carolh@ci.puyallup.wa.us. Many, many, many thanks for the help!

The visits are coming up and I'm looking for a great idea for a cute book with a little humor that would be fun to read aloud. If it mentions the library, great, but just an overall fun read is what I'm looking for. I want to read something that the kids haven't heard before. Does anyone have any good ideas for a great, solid, surefire hit with the Kindergarten set? I will compile the list and post if I get a good amount of responses. Thanks!

(See original post below.) And the answer is..I don't know. The patron has yet to give feedback on the books we collected. PUBYAC suggestions included the following: "Material World" by Peter Menzel There is another, as well, called "Women in the Material World." "Children Just Like Me" by Barnabas & Anabel Kindersley (DK Publishing, 1995). "Children Just Like Me: Celebrations" "A life like mine : how children live around the world" / foreword by Harry Belafonte]. Pub info New York : DK Pub., c2002 "Our Favorite Stories" by Jamila Gavin Picturepedia, People And Places, 1994. ISBN 1-56458-639-1 "Families around the World" series by different authors and published by Raintree Steck-Vaughn Publishers Surely, the correct answer is in there somewhere! Thanks, again.

It showed pictures of various families around the world, and it showed the family outside their home, with all of their possessions around them. One family was from Great Britain, another from a country in Africa. Does this ring a bell with anybody? TIA for any suggestions!

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed Date: Wed, 26 Nov 2003 00:36:55 CST Many thanks to Bonita, Monica and Marin who knew that the title is: Andrew Henry's Meadow by Doris Burn (1965). My friend was unbelievably jazzed! He recognized the title immediately, and was able to order a used copy from Amazon. Original stumper below: I have a real stumper, from a fellow MLIS student. He remembers it as a picture book, but it could be a chapter book. He says,"I seem to remember getting it thru my school...when we would get the paper flyers (which I so dearly loved) and you could order books from them. Nothing beats the excitement of when the boxes came...and you knew you had a book in there." Anyway, this would have been in the early 70's. What he remembers of the book is this: It's a picture book (could be chapter), with black and white drawings about a boy who builds houses for kids in his village. They are very cool and all reflect the interests of the child. Seems like I remember the kids "run away" to them..and then the parents come find them...and promise to treat them better. I can remember a boy fishing out of one of the houses. The boy lived in a tree house...and the parents weren't nice to the kids...so they started to leave...and he would build them a house as they come out. Kind of Robert McClosky like drawings. ------------------------------ From: "Linda Schloegel" <lschloli@hotmail.com> To: PUBYAC@prairienet.org Subject: re: film stumper Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed Date: Wed, 26 Nov 2003 00:37:43 CST Thank you to all who recognized the shadow puppet films. Special thanks to Terrance V. McArthur who told me these films were made by Lotte Reininger, and can be bought at Facets (and other sources) if one searches on her name.

She would like them to be fairly short, to not feature a well-known character (such as Bob the Builder) and to not have Biblical references as this is not a relgious school. I have checked our card catalog and Library Video Company and have found The Big, Fat, Fabulous Bear (too long) and Pet Tales (in the Wimzie's House series). Does anyone have any other suggestions? Thank you so much! Robin M.
