It lists the differences between these two institutions and has a place to put in your library location, phone and hours. In Spanish the confusion is made greater by the "false friend" syndrome. The word "libreria" sounds so much like "library", but it isn't! When we began our project with ELL families we began with a storytime about reading and libraries and this handout was a part of the presentation.

I am a children's librarian, and my mom is the head of the children's department at a Barnes and Noble. She will be the first one to recommend a trip to the library to a kid if they are looking for a book immediately that B&N doesn't have. While chain bookstores are a business and would like to sell books they (at least at my mom's store) are just happy to get kids interested in reading, hence the storytimes offered at different times than the local library. While a kid is not the biggest source of income for a bookstore, kids who grow into reading adults often are. Her B&N has also partnered with the local library system and has days in which they donated portions of proceeds to the Friends of the Library. Both bookstores and libraries offer different and important services to children. Why quibble about which is "better" for kids or make one out to be the bad guy? Melissa B.

Ah, yes! It's already time to plan summer reading programs! Our theme this year is "Find Treasure @ your library" and we would like advice from those of you who have done pirate-type themes recently. We are thinking of making Flatbeards (in the fashion of Flat Stanley) and sending them on summer adventures; hosting a knot tieing (sp?) program; teaching kids how to read maps and then making treasure maps; making treasure chests and then going on a treasure hunt; and making pirate ships and launching them. I need three more fairly inexpensive ideas and any help/advice you can provide on any of the above ideas would be greatly appreciated. Please respond to the following email address: campbd@ci.loveland.co.us If there's enough interest, I'd be happy to post a compilation to the list. Thanks, everyone!

The parents and children love it! We've been doing it for a year and haven't had any lost or damaged pieces yet. Patrons may checkout a LeapPad (or a My First LeapPad) with the accompanying book, plus 2 extra titles. Checkout period is 1 week, and fines are $.50 per day after that. Definitely get the backpacks that go with the LeapPads for them to circulate in. Each extra book and module go out in a plastic hanging bag. There is a pocket and barcode on each bag. Check very carefully when they come and go to be sure the module matches the book. And be sure the book comes back in the LeapPad. There is a pocket and barcode on the BACK of each LeapPad. Though it seems easier to put it inside, under the book, we quickly found out it creates enough lumps under the book to make it not work right. Many times, the children have the LeapPad at home and love to come in a just check out a couple of book/module packs. We keep all LeapPad materials behind the desk. We take digital photos of the new books that come in and make a page showing the book, title, and age range and laminate it and put it in a 3-ring-binder. That way, patrons can just look through the binder and tell you which ones they want. Besides stories, we like to get the books that teach phonics, alphabet, etc. and the non-fiction titles (geography, math, etc.) for the older kids. Most of these are for the QuantumLeap Pads, but they work in the LeapPads as well. When we first got them, we publicized it in the local papers with a picture of children using them, and the community came flocking in! Talk it up for car trips around vacation time! Like I said, it has been a great experience. It's easy, and I highly recommend it! Let me know if you have any more questions. Good luck! Jodi J.

I know in most things more is not always better, but when it comes to books ..... I think that may not apply. The more reading, the more books in our lives, whereever they come from, the better. As a former book store owner now library worker myself, I found that there are people who like to own books (for themselves and/or their kids) and there are people who use the library ....... there is actually a growing trend of those who do both! They test drive books at the library and then buy them if they like them or choose something else to try before they buy. Lets just all do the ra-ra for books and we will have libraries and bookstores in our future still. Its all good, methinx!
