Please send me your favorite 10 or 20 (or more, I want to make the list as broad as possible, so send me as many titles as you like) books each for K and 1st grade (picture books and beginning easy readers), that have been published in the last ten years. I have been combing the Notable lists, best book lists from the journals and Geillespie's Best Books for Children. I'm interesting in hearing from you about your favorites. We all know that what we like best doesn't always make the award lists or the standard bibliographies. Please send your titles to me at: sfichtel@lmxac.org and I will compile your replies and post them to the list. Thanks for all your help.

One of her preschoolers was recently diagnosed, and she's found that math games and things on the computer are especially difficult for him, as he can't tell different colors. She has managed to adapt her curriuculum a bit, using a heavy emphasis on shapes when sorting, but she'd like to know how else she can help him. Anyone know anything?

Date: Thu, 8 Jan 2004 00:48:43 CST Hello great group! I was wondering how other libraries handle their juvenile collections such as picture/easy books section as far as organization goes. 1) I was wondering how it is divided up (board books, easy readers, biographies, juv fic, teen, etc) and also 2) for picture books, the previous system before I came aboard was to have the books have a dot on the books (orange,pink,green or blue) depending on reading level and there is a large poster in the JUV area that explains the dot system. The problem is that it has been awhile since this system has been updated, many books do not have dots and basically all the books are just all together. I basically think this is a mess, the poster is outdated and the whole thing needes to be redone. The library director agrees and has given me the go ahead. I would love to hear what has worked (and what has not) for all of you out there as I am planning a huge re-organization and want it to be done well this time.

All our copies are missing. One of the stories on the tape has been turned into a picture book "Master Man" by Shephard (tho greatly changed). The one I'm looking for is called "The Wooden Box". It's a Chinese tale about a couple who find a box. Whenever something is dropped into it, once removed, replicates itself...first red ribbons, then gold coins and finally (and disastrously for the greedy couple), dead grandfathers. I'd like to tell the story again after all these years, but can't point to the no longer available tape. If you recognize the story please let me know at the address below and I'll pass it on to all thereafter. I'd write to Laura Simms, but she is rather closed mouthed about her sources. Selma K.

I have participated in "career day" at a = local middle school; a teacher there organizes it and contacts people in = the community to come and speak to small groups.

I know at the high school level, the kids go to some type of = career fair and I think it is tables set up with representatives of = businesses and organizations. My daughter brought home a sack of = freebies. Since they handle that, I don't try to do it myself. But I did = think about having a job fair in which businesses and organizations that = hire teens would come and teens could go around to the tables and pick up = applications and talk to representatives about actual jobs they can get = right now for after school or summer. But I could see that being one huge = undertaking, so I had another idea: a Volunteer Fair. =20 We have a lot of summer volunteers and an active Teen Advisory Board. = These kids need to participate in orientation, sign up to work at specific = times, be trained, etc. All that takes time, and if they wait until = school's out to ask about volunteering, it's already too late. Some teens = want to volunteer, but their schedules or transportation don't mesh with = our needs, so I always refer them to a few other organizations that I know = need volunteers on a more regular basis (humane shelter, children's = science museum, hospital, etc.). Last summer I was asked to speak to a = high school English class on the topic of volunteerism, so I put together = a handout of places to volunteer and other information. This got me to = thinking that we could reach a wider range of kids by having a fair = similar to a career fair, and the process of finding a place to volunteer = could be started before school is out. This would benefit not only the = kids, but also the library and these other organizations, which fits = nicely with our mission. I am just in the first phase of planning the = fair, but I hope to partner with our local Volunteer Action Center. I = envision our meeting rooms filled with tables with the representatives = behind the tables and chairs on one or both ends for teens to sit in to = talk with them (or they can stand). One table would have snacks, of = course!! I expect to be calling organizations myself, and will ask them = to bring applications, brochures or other information about their = agencies, and invite them to have a small display. It will take place on = Sat. April 17 from 11-2, so teens can come and go when they have time. I = will promote the fair through the media specialists in each building and = will be available to speak to classes on volunteerism in general and = invite the students to the fair. We will send the information to the = media as well. =20 Hope this has helped you a little. Good luck!

We have been using Fortres on Windows 98 machines, but they are finally admitting that they are not developing a new program for Windows 2000. We have had good luck with it and like being able to hand out disks with a specified time limit, as it is fairly cheap and doesn't require library cards (we are in a tourist area and get tons of buses of campers, foreign folks, etc. on vacation) to activate. We're looking for ideas of other inexpensive but reliable solutions. Does anyone have a favorite? Thanks for your input.

It has outline illustrations that are not Disney and ideas for many activities. When I did this one year, I remember feeling frustrated because the stories were so long. I told the story about Eeyore's missing tail. I used several poems from Milne's books of poetry. I also booktalked other stories that are similar to Pooh, like Beady Bear, Velveteen Rabbit, etc. Karen Brown brownk@ci.monterey.ca.us Youth Services Manager Monterey Public Library 625 Pacific Street Monterey, CA 93940 831-646-3744 Be Quiet, Pooh!
