I am doing an American Girls Club soon, and it has beem suggested to me that
I should also do a "boys" Club.  Something along the same lines, being
historical and fun with activities.  I thought about basing it on
Explorers/Adventurers.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

In Nassau County (Long Island), NY, we had our mock

Despereaux by Kate DiCamillo.  Our honor books were
The Conch Bearer by Divakaruni & Keeper of the Night

Hi to all!  Thank you so much for all of the feedback to my question on
library card restrictions to minors.  This seems to have struck a nerve.  I
have yet to read through all of the responses, but my meeting which will
discuss this issue is this Thursday.  I will get back to all of you with a
synopsis of the answers I have received.

  Thanks again!  I really appreciate it!  This is a great group!  Ellen

Dragons are singing tonight by Prelutsky, 811's.

Poems are accessible to a lot of different ages.

A couple of weeks ago I asked about spine labels and shelving practices
regarding children's picture books.  Thanks so much to everyone who
responded. I still could use some more responses so if you have a minute
please send me (off list) a short description of what your library system
does. I am interested in what is on the label identifying the author, is it
last name or first letter of last name, or first two, three or more letters?
Also are your books filed in alphabetical order or are they in order by
first letter, first two letters, or first three letters  of last name?
Finally, how do you feel about the way your system does things.  Thanks so
much.  I will compile results and post.

I'm trying to streamline the way we handle our bibliographies for our J =
fiction collection.  If you have time, could you please answer a few =
questions:

1.  Who tracks your departments bibliographies for currency?
2.  Who updates them?
3.  How are they presented...genre/grade levels?
4.  How are they formated?  Tri-fold, 81/2x11, folded...
5.  Is there just one master copy for the public to use, or do you make =
copies available for them to take?
6.  Are they annotated?

Any other comments would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you,
