At the YA department I worked in we had something like this:
"take 'em home, read 'em, bring 'em back for others to enjoy"
simple and to the point.

I am looking for teen programs and have been looking at various libraries'
websites. I saw on one site that someone was doing Improv Comedy like the
show "Whose Line is it Anyway?" Unfortunately, I can't remember
which
library website I saw it on. If anyone has done a program like this, could
you please tell me a little more about it. It sounds like it would be
something fun that teens would be interested in doing.

Hi Everyone,
I'm just trying to re-vamp some of my regularly done Spring
Storytimes and I was wondering if anyone had any book, flannelboard, and
craft suggestions for the themes of baseball, May Day, Mother's Day, and
Spring in general (the sky, sun, clouds, wind, etc.). I appreciate all of
the ideas and expertise that is regularly put out here on the Listserv.
It's so nice to see it up and running again. Thanks in advance. :)

Boy, is it hard to track down all of this stuff!! I went to www.amazon.co.uk
to see if I could unravel this for myself. It appears that there are a
couple of publishers in the UK who are doing editions of the Georgia Nicholsson
series: Harper, Piccadilly and Scholastic Point. The long and short of it,
as far as I could figure it out is that Ed's theory is correct.
"Really Big Knickers" is the UK equivalent of "Sex God".
To my surprise and delight, the UK site also lists a book 5: "And That's
When It Fell Off In My Hand" (??? ew?) due out the end of May. I took
a minute to look at the US Amazon site and they are listing a book titled
"Away Laughing On A Fast Camel" which appears to be a US equivalent of
"That's When It Fell Off" due out June 1.
Any other ideas?
Why can't we just have the same titles in the US as Rennison uses in the UK??
It's not like there isn't a glossary at the end of each book explaining
British-isms to US readers!!
I can't wait for the new book!
Cheers,
Katrina

Yes! Chris was in Birmingham, AL Sunday night (where I met him at a
dinner) and at a school visit the next day. He was charming, modest and
amazing! It is incredible that he wrote _Eragon_ so early in his career.
I read it just last month so was really delighted that he was touring in my
area. Bk II - Eldest - is due out December 2005. Can hardly wait!!!

There is a children's librarian opening at the Joplin Public Library in
Joplin MO. I am taking a children's librarian position in Minnesota and
will be leaving. It is hard to leave the great staff and patrons
especially after we've worked hard for 5 years to build up great
programs and service. If you'd like more information about the position
please check out the link to our web site

Has anyone heard of a picture book about a tiny kid who lives in a mailbox--all
the others in his family are normal. Possible name of Nicholas? That's all
the information I have---thanks for helping.

I'm posting this for a colleague who is at wits end. Thank you in advance
for any help on the title or possible sources to solve this.
Searching for:
DATE OF COMPOSITION for a Ralph Waldo Emerson poetry quotation. Do not
know the title of the poem from which the quotation is taken, if any, or whether
it is a complete poem in itself.
"Some of your griefs you have cured,
And the sharpest you still have survived,
But what torments of grief you've endured
>From evils that never arrived."

Hello fellow Pubyac-ers,
We have a very beloved patron and former board member who is looking for a
particular fairy tale. He is fairly certain it is by Hans Christian
Andersen. The premise of the story is about a king who has a secret that
he
cannot tell but it gets to be more than he can bear so he finally yells the
secret down a well in order to get it out of his system. Does this sound
familiar to anyone. We've tried going through our Hans Christian Andersen
books and also looked on the Internet but if anyone can help us out here
we'd be so grateful.
TIA,
Jennie

Now that I've finished asking about summer reading programs, I'm asking about
Winter Reading Programs (or non-summer programs) for YAs. The reason I'm
asking is that I'm considering implementing one next winter (I know this winter
isn't over yet).
So, how many of you have YA winter reading programs? What kind of sign up
do you get, maybe relative to your summer program? How do you structure
it--do you have 'events' or give out incentives? Do you require book
reviews? Is it worth doing, from your experience? Any insight and
information you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
I appreciate all your help (and past patience).

Hello,
I work in a small public library and we are currently planning our summer
reading kick-off. We recently subscribed to three comic books (all
super-hero related), and our director would like to do some sort of comic
book party or program. We would likely get children ranging from 5-13 at
this kick-off. Has anyone planned a comic book event? What type of
activities did you find successful? Any ideas are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jen
