Dear Great Brain, I need your help! A fourth-grade teacher at the
parochial school asked us to have some books out for her students, on the theme
of forgiveness. She does not expect us to have many books ABOUT
forgiveness, but books with forgiveness in them. After keyword searching
on our system's online catalogue and all the normal print sources, we have come
up with some titles and have a small shelf waiting for them. Many of the
books are about kids who fight with their friends and then make up, for example.
But I am afraid this will not be enough books to satisfy her entire class.
Can you help us? We appreciate you all so much! Thank you!

Hi Everyone: We had a crash with our email at our library last week and I
lost my emails in regards to parent/child bookclubs. Maybe this is why I
have not been receiving the digest. At any rate, here is my original
message again. I did hear from a few people who agreed that monthly is the
way to go. However, I was looking for specific titles with questions used,
specific games or crafts used as well as how you got the parents and
children to interact - tips on how to handle the discussions.
We are looking into have a parent/child bookclub for ages 9-12 in the fall
(it was the spring but got moved; whew :-)). The plan is to meet weekly.
I
would appreciate hearing from others who have run this type of club before -
how often you met, books you used, activities etc. Quite often I read
about
many programs on pubyac that have a lot of crafts and food. Our budget is
quite limited, so I have to keep that in mind. I would also like to hear
about ideas that didn't work so I don't fall into the same trap. You can
reply directly to me and I can compile the information if others are
interested.
Thanks in advance,
Chris Reid
