I'm considering doing the Rainforest as a theme for my SRC this summer. I like
themes in which I can turn our library into 'another place.' If you've done this
theme, could you please pass along your ideas for particularly decorating,
but anything would be helpful?
I'm interested to know if any of the catalogs ( I already checked Upstart) have
any reading club 'stuff' to decorate like they do for some other themes. I would
appreciate any/all ideas. Thanks!
Elaine

Hello all,
Anyone recognize this plot? A little boy lives next to a man that looks
like Abraham Lincoln and takes him to school. I searched Novelist but
didn't find anything.
Thanks,
Melanie Tucker

I have been looking for a list of "must reads" in the field of
children's
librarianship. I've located the a document similar to what I'm looking for
at www.la-hq.org.uk/directory/prof_issues/clrl.rtf
<http://www.la-hq.org.uk/directory/prof_issues/clrl.rtf>
, but the majority
of titles recommended are tailored to the UK and/or are UK publications (not
to mention it appears to have been compiled back in early 1997). Other
hits
seem to bring up reading lists for children only. Does anyone know of a
professional reading list for US youth services librarians? Thank you in
advance for any suggestions you're able to provide.

Hi everyone!
A patron is looking for a book where the main character likes to build
trains/train tracks but has a vision impairment and ends up building a roller
coaster. Does this title ring a bell to anyone?
Thanks in advance for your help.
