So I thought that I would ask more experienced librarians how = they do it. If you have time to answer these questions, it would be = vastly appreciated. Any hints that work for you would also be helpful. 1. What are the oldest ages of children in story time? 2. What is the length of story time? 3. How many weeks are your sessions? How long are your breaks between? 4. How far do you go in disciplining children? When do you ask them to = leave? Have you ever told a child that they cannot come back? 5. What is your unattended child policy? Do you allow parents to leave = the library while children are in story time? 6. Do you use crafts in your story time? How intensive are the crafts? Thank you for any help you can spare!

It is a children's book with a "creation" theme. I believe the story line is that God rolls up balls of clay and then blows on them creating several animals and a little boy named DG {sp?}. I have visited multiple libraries and used book stores, used Alibris and have also checked with multiple children's book authorities and search engines. If anyone has a suggestion for further search procedures or knows any details of this book, I would be very eager to gain further information.

Date: Fri, 9 Jan 2004 00:05:09 CST We are considering changing our Summer Reading Program so we count time spent reading rather than books read. If your library uses time, we would like to know 1) How much time is required to finish the game? 2) How many children participate and what percent finish the game? 3) Do you require verification of the time read, such as parent's signature, or a report on the books? 4) Do you know of any articles or research that addresses this issue? Thanks in advance for your help.

The tape had two stories - on the first side was the story of a boy who liked a girl, but all I remember from that one is that they wore ID bracelets and he wondered why they put their own names on the bracelet, "Just in case they forgot their name?" On part two there was a story about a boy who had to write a report about the country of Zanzibar, but ended up writing a poem, that the storyteller sings on the tape. It goes, "Zanzibar! Zanzibar! Zanzibar is very far. You can't get there in a car. It's too far to Zanzibar..." That is all I remember of the song. I really want to listen to those stories again and I want to see if he has more stuff, he is definetly a man. Does anyone have any idea what his name is? I've never posted anything before, but if you could reply to my email . . . well, thank you.

Although it doesn't have the dead grandfather element, it is certainly a variant...wish I could find the original collection tho...if anyone else has a clue...Thanks to all who wrote in.

Date: Fri, 9 Jan 2004 00:58:29 CST Hello everybody, Thank you all for responding to my stumper: My patron is searching for a book with the following plot: A substitute teacher replaces a teacher in a classroom and begins to "brainwash" the students. One such instance is when the students salute the flag. The teacher convinces them to cut the flag instead. This way, everyone would have a piece of it. She also encourages the students to pray in school. The main character is quite smart and sees right through the teacher's brainwash attempts. The title my patron was looking for was "The Children's Story" by James Clavell. My library does not own it, but I am eager to ILL it! I have a very happy patron in Rowan County thanks to all of you!

I have a patron asking for a children's story they read in 1970s-1980s. It is not Stone Soup. An Italian mother or grandmother is known for making a special soup. One day as she starts to cook the soup, she's interrupted at intervals by each member of her family. Each one asks that a specific ingredient be left out for various reasons. By the time dinner arrives, the woman places a pot of boiled water on the table because of the requests. I have checked Children's Catalog editions available to me - 1966, 1971, 1976 and 1991.Hoping this sounds familiar to someone, and thanks for any suggestions! Cecelia Holm, M.S.L.I.S.

We have a patron looking for a book he read years ago (naturally) about people searching for a treasure in a house. He remembers characters by the name of Mr. Potts, John and Susan, and thinks it was written by an English author in the 1950s or earlier. There is also a bit in the book about making a drink from dandelions. Hope this rings a bell with someone. I'm striking out.
