A patron is looking for a book she used app. 15 years ago. It was arched like a rainbow and had a picture of a rainbow on the cover. The book explained the what the colors of the rainbow represented in a biblical sense, not a scientific sense. Ring any bells?

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Date: Wed, 11 Feb 2004 19:05:00 CST We're planning a green eggs and ham party on March 2 in the evening for Dr. Seuss's birthday. Our kitchen is being renovated and we may not have a stove then. Maybe I'll be able to get a parent volunteer to help, but does anyone have experience with a party like this where they used powdered eggs? Suggestioons are welcome.

The position focuses on programming and reader's advisory duties. I would love to know what books have been read and follow-up activities for children's programming (very young children). I'm also trying to build my "book knowledge", and while there are many great resources of booklists, I'd appreciate some books that are "must reads" or that I must be familiar with. Thanks to those who reply! ------------------------------ From: "Lisa Cole" <lcole@ald.lib.co.us> To: pubyac@prairienet.org Subject: Tweens Date: Wed, 11 Feb 2004 19:05:31 CST Our library is planning to start offering programs geared to grades 4-6. This is an group we have not targeted before. I'd love to get any ideas or advice. If you have done library programs for tweens, I'd love to hear from you. Some of things I'd especially like to know are: What do you call your programs for this group? What kinds of programs have worked? Any that really didn't work? Do you do a series of one type of activity - such as bookclub? Or do you do a variety of different activities? If you can answer any of these questions, or have any other insight to other, please email me directly. Thanks!

It's a complicated situation, but I'll try to condense and abbreviate where I can. I've been a children's librarian for nearly 10 years, and I've had kids heckle me during programs and be disruptive in the library. I've always tried to deal with the problems professionally and not lose my temper. Usually the parents, once they've been made aware of the problems, cooperate with library policies or my suggestions. But I have a unique situation here. We have 5 year old boy who is rude, disruptive, demanding, and grabby. I have an Family Night Storytime with crafts , and he and his older sister have been coming nearly every week for the last 6 months. And every week there's a problem with his behavior. Last night he nearly took a glass pannel off the display case. If he had dropped it, it would have shattered on the brick floor and all over him. 3 weeks ago I had a discussion with his father because he had misbehaved and his parents weren't present in the library. I had to ask his sister to call home, and by the time the Dad showed up the boy had decided to cooperate. I think when he realized that his parents were coming he decided to behave. I explained that the son really needed adult supervision and he couldn't attend the program without a parent too. So far, they've done that. The only problem is that the mother is an enabler. Anything that the boy does is cute. She was standing only a few feet away from him when he messed with the display case. And believe me, it made a lot of noise so I'm sure she heard, I know we staff did. And anything he wants she either lets him have or gives to him. Usually without asking me first. We're a small library with a small budget so doing crafts at all means that I have to recycle unused materials as much as possible. I'm not really comfortable losing extra construction paper and whatever because he more. Especially if he hasn't followed directions or has been rude throughout the evening. LAst night's incident was enough to make me ask my director about the possibility of banning him from the program. She suggested finding out what other libraries do with disruptive kids whose parents don't supervise them. I really do enjoy working with kids of all ages, but this one pushes all my buttons. I'm starting to dread Tuesday nights because he'll be there. So if anyone has any suggestions, I'd be glad to listen. Thanks in advance, Carol Albin Norwalk Easter Public Library Norwalk, IA ------------------------------ End of PUBYAC Digest 1341 *************************
