I'm so impressed by the depth of knowledge on this list that I'm going to have to ask a question of you. A patron has come up to me with a request of a book that existed during her childhood (she's in her fifties now). All she can recall is that it contained a story about elaborately dressed mice and began, "This is the house of Mrs. Mouse, and these are her children three". Any clue? Please let me know at erbird@stkate.edu if you've any idea. I appreciate it.

After the reservations were made for PLA, I broke my ankle. Unfortunately, I 'm slotted into the Renaissance hotel, six blocks from the convention center. It's my right ankle. I can't drive. I have a single room and I'm hoping to trade with someone who has a single room at the Sheraton, which is the closest. Is there any kind soul out there who'd be wiling to trade with me?=20 Catherine Sarette Youth Services Coordinator Whatcom County Library System Bellingham, WA ------------------------------ From: "Christine L.

Does anyone have read-alike lists on your library website that you wouldn't mind my scavenging? I mean the lists of the type, "If You Like Harry Potter, You Might Like..." My few lists are getting pretty stale. I'd like to update them with suggestions other than my own and add some new lists to my binder.

Apparently the seasons played a major role in the book, and she says it's not the Berenstain Bears. We are stumped trying to find it. Is this ringing any bells for anyone?

We combined it with an ice cream social - actually we had small coontainers of ice cream from Schwans and they provided a little freezer. We put games on the tables - Memory, Candyland, Chess, Trivial Pursuit, Scrabble, etc. It was a very easy program for us, and we had lots of people come in and out. The only trouble we had was with some of our homeless who kept coming in for more ice cream. We let them have quite a few, but finally had to stop some of them. We let the program go all afternoon - it was a Sunday. We also had a poster for the families to write a thank you to Schwans - they provided about 1/2 the ice cream and the friends paid for the rest. >From: Carol Mitchell <mitcheca@oplin.org> >Reply-To: mitcheca@oplin.org >To: pubyac@prairienet.org >Subject: family game night Date: Tue, 3 Feb 2004 22:41:04 CST > >Has anyone had a family game night at their library?

Jaeger and Charles R. McClure http://firstmonday.org/issues/issue9_2/jaeger/ "Potential legal challenges to the application of the Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA) in public libraries: Strategies and issues by Paul T. Jaeger and Charles R. McClure When the United States Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA), the ruling was limited to issues of whether the statute, as written, was an unconstitutional limitation of freedom of speech. In holding that the wording of the law did not present an unconstitutional limitation on the exercise of free speech, the Supreme Court did not address the constitutionality of the application of the law. Two of the Justices who concurred that CIPA was legal on its face, in fact, suggested the possibility of future legal challenges to CIPA as it is applied in public libraries. This paper discusses potential problems related to the implementation of CIPA that could affect the exercise of free speech in public libraries. It also suggests possible legal challenges to the application of the law that could be made using established First Amendment jurisprudence. The legal issues that might be used to challenge the Court's decision include least restrictive alternative, vagueness, overbreadth, request policies, prior restraints, public forum, and limitations on political speech. The discussion of each legal issue offers an approach that could be taken in formulating and raising a legal challenge to the application of CIPA." ------------------------------ From: "Don Wood" <dwood@ala.org> To: <PUBYAC@prairienet.org> Subject: Alternative Press Needs Librarians' Stories of Government Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Disposition: inline Date: Tue, 10 Feb 2004 16:04:49 CST Please distribute this widely. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * = * * * * * * * * February 9, 2004 Dear Colleague: Concerns regarding the USA Patriot Act are growing, as are efforts to = combat various provisions. The latest initiative to come to our attention = is spearheaded by a group of alternative papers. They are planning a = report this spring that may appear in as many as 150 papers nationwide. This report will examine the controversy surrounding government attempts = to spy on citizens in libraries using provisions of the PATRIOT Act and = through other means. As you are aware, Attorney General John Ashcroft has responded to = librarians concerns about protecting the privacy rights of library users = by calling us "hysterics" and "dupes of the ACLU." He also said the FBI = has never used the USA Patriot Act to acquire information about library = users. Nevertheless, a study by the Library Research Center at the University of = Illinois found that 6 percent of public and 5 percent of academic = libraries have been contacted by government authorities since Sept. 11, = 2001, with requests for user information. The story the alternative newspapers are working on seeks to determine to = what extent the government is using library, bookseller, ISP, medical, = banking and other records to spy on its own citizens since September 11th. = Additionally, this investigation will look at the extent to which the = government has done so in the past, pre-9/11. To base the story on factual information, the alternative press is looking = for librarians who have had experience in the recent or distant past in = which they have been contacted by government entities, formally or = otherwise, for the purpose of attaining information on library users. = These could be contacts from the police, FBI, INS, the Justice Department, = or other government representatives. They could be informal requests to = report suspicious people, provide patron records, provide records of = people checking out certain books or report patrons showing interest in = certain subjects. They could be court-ordered requests or just pressure = or intimidation by government representatives. The basic idea is that the story will be big-picture and nationwide, and = will run side by side with local stories in each media market. All the = stories will be posted on Alternet's Web site, which receives 1.5 million = unique visitors each month. This project is similar in organization to = another successful nationwide story that ran in the alternative newspapers = regarding married priests. We do not anticipate that the "'gag order" imposed by Section 215 of the = USA PATRIOT Act will impact this project. The gag order only applies to = librarians who have actually been served with a court order issued under = Section 215 by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court; the Department= of Justice insists that no librarian or library has been served with a = Section 215 order. Librarians who are or have been contacted by law = enforcement and other government entities in other circumstances are free = to speak about those experiences. =20 This project is very important to ALA. The story addresses a subject = close to librarians' hearts-the privacy rights of our patrons. Please send your name and a brief description of your experience in the = recent or distant past in which you have been contacted by government = entities, formally or otherwise, for the purpose of attaining information = on library users to Don Wood at dwood@ala.org or Office for Intellectual = Freedom, American Library Association, 50 East Huron Street, Chicago, IL = 60611. Again, your experiences could involve one or more of the following:= =B7 Contacts from the police, FBI, INS, the Justice Department, or other = government representatives; =B7 Informal requests to report suspicious people, provide patron records, = provide records of people checking out certain books or report patrons = showing interest in certain subjects; =B7 Pressure or intimidation by government representatives; or =B7 Court-ordered requests We will then forward that information to the reporters working on the = story.

Increase circulation. 2. Increase program attendance. 3. Increase goodwill in your community about the library. 4. Adults come with their kids to programs which increases adult circ, program attendance, goodwill, etc. 5. We are doing our part in making kids and teens life-long readers, learners, lovers of books and users of libraries. 6. Kids, teens and adults find the library is a place to hang in the hot summer months when outside activities (here in Texas anyway) are not that great. 7. Makes the public aware that the library is not just about books and computers. We do fun stuff (puppet show, animal shows, etc.) and we have a wide variety of materials (DVDs, cd-roms, videos, mags, books-on-tape/cd, etc.) that they might not be aware of. By the way, I think all of above reasons are also the same reasons we do other programs throughout the year (storytime, adult programs, teen events, etc.) It what libraries have to and need to be doing to stay an important and vital part of our communities, keep our funding coming in, justify our existence and keep people like me in a job I love and off the streets. My two cents, Debbie Debbie Brightwell Children's Librarian Irving Public Library Irving, Texas -----Original Message----- From: Ed Goldberg [mailto:longislandlibrarian@yahoo.com] Sent: Tuesday, February 10, 2004 11:01 AM To: PUBYAC Subject: Cross Posting - Summer Reading Programs -- Question II Hi all (again), I recently posed a request for any studies that attempted to evaluate the impact of SRPs on the participants (public or school libraries or collaborations; any grade level). And while I'm still looking for them, I have a second question: Introduction: There is no overwhelming body of evidence (although there is some) indicating that SRPs reduce summer reading regression or that SRP participants, specifically, do better than non SRP participants in school. Yet, all of us are now preparing for this annual ritual. Question: Why? I would like to understand why you and your library have summer reading programs each year? I will leave this question open ended as I would like to understand the wide range of reasons that we have for having SRPs each year. I thank eveyone, in advance, for your responses. If you all want a compilation of answers, please let me know. (I'm still working on question 1 and will post the compilation when completed.)

Andrew Wilson, from Bedford, told the BBC it is the longest text in 1,500 years to have been translated into the ancient language. He began the project after reading an article in Britain's Daily Telegraph that the publishers were seeking a translator. Said Wilson: "On a whim, I wrote to the publisher and said 'I can do that' as a kind of joke. I think what the official line is, is that it can be used in schools to encourage people to learn Greek. Having got kids reading English, JK Rowling is quite keen to have them reading Latin and reading Greek." The translation had its challenges -- especially finding Greek words for Quidditch, bludger and snitch and other J.K. Rowling word inventions. The book will be published later this year, with "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" in Irish Gaelic. http://amatechtel.com/news/wed/ds/Ubritain-harrypotter.RCA3_EF9.asp ===== Rebecca Verrill Smith Children's Librarian, at large read2yourbunny@yahoo.com "It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities." --Albus Dumbledore ( J.K.

We would appreciate any detailed information you can provide in regards to hosting murder mystery parties. Some answers we're trying to dig up . . . How many people participated? Did the total number in attendance work to solve one mystery or were they divided into smaller groups to solve several mysteries? Did you find a certain age group particularly enjoyed the program? Sources for scripts? Did you serve dinner? Thanks in advance. Alison Troy Assistant I ***************************************** Youth Services L.E.
