Hello! I am a MLS student and am writing an issue paper on theme kits.
I have read why so many librarians and customers like the kits, but in trying to
present both sides of the issue, am wondering if any of you out there could
share with me any drawbacks of circulating theme kits. If anyone has
debated the idea and decided not to have theme books, why did you decide against
it? Thanks for your help! Kelley Harris-Zehr klahz@blitz-it.net

Hi,
I don't remember who posted about rain forest decorating and activities.
I was searching Jan Brett's website and found a template for coloring a
toucan. The page also has a picture of a colored toucan, if needed. The
site has several new things including signs that can be used as guides
to sections of the library! Her website is www.janbrett.com.
Here is the
link to the toucan page:

hope this helps....

Awhile back someone sent to the list a story about indians going on a
long trip and setting up a teepee and than forming a fire for the smoke
going out. This was done with a white circle of paper and cutting the
pieces as the story was told. When unfolded it became a snowflake.
Does anyone have this story or know of a source that has it.
Thanks!

Greetings!
A patron came in this afternoon seeking some book titles that
would be appropriate for a group from the Unitarian church to
give their coming-of-age 8th-graders. They are looking
especially for something inspirational/uplifting but not overly
heavy or even necessarily religious.
I would appreciate any suggestions you may have.
Thanks!

I have a patron who remembers reading this book to
children about 10 years ago, when she was a nanny. It
has a boy who goes and visits his friend and things
happen like a rocket ship taking off from the living
room. She remembers they sing - yes we have no bananas
to an uncle. The boy comments on how exciting the
friends house is to visit. It is a picture book with
1950 style illustrations, but is a newer book. Does
this sound familiar to anyone? Email me at
bethbell52@yahoo.com. Thanks,

Fellow PubYACers,
I have a stumper from an elderly patron who remembers a book that she used
to use when minding the kids aged 5-8 at her church. She thinks it might
have been published in the 1980s, but isn't sure about that. It could be
earlier.
In the story, there is a boy who gradually accumulates a long line of zoo
animals (giraffe, etc.) that follow him around, but the grown-ups don't
believe him or see the animals, and they might even convince the boy in the
end that he never
had the animals following him in the first place. However, at the end of the
book, the reader sees the long line of animals that have been following the
boy, and know that he has been speaking the truth all along.
I've tried WorldCat and A to Zoo, and it is not New Friends or Louis
Timothy, the Giant Invisible Turtle.
Any leads will be appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks all for your help. The book was Tracks by David Galef.
Original question:
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 again!

I've had a few people ask me about attachments that appear to be coming with
individual
PUBYAC e-mail messages. Here is the FAQ I've posted about that topic:
12. Why I am getting attachments to some of my mail from PUBYAC?
Now that we are with the new MailMan software, when someone posts a message
as HTML text, part of it comes through as an attachment. It is
"attaching"
the pretty formatting for the text. You can't ever really open the
attachment.
Occasionally, you'll have an attachment that begins with ATT000. This is
the little footer that is now appended to each individual message, which
says "PUBYAC website" etc. For some reason, in some posts this
gets added
as an attachment. Confusing, but harmless.
Thirdly, there will sometimes be true attachments appended to an e-mail,
because we can send these to each other now. It should say this in the
body
of the e-mail though.
I am recommending that everyone try to post to PUBYAC using Plain Text.
Most e-mail programs will allow you to format your messages this way. I'm
gathering the "how-to's" on a webpage so that you can check it for
instructions. If you post in Plain Text, these little odd attachments will
not happen. http://www.pallasinc.com/pubyac/Plain_text.htm
I'm not at the point where I'm going to be militant about posting as
non-HTML. With the old software, I could edit out the excess--with MailMan
I cannot. There are a few messages coming through, especially from
Hotmail,
that are completely HTML, and those I'm sending back for reformatting
because they cannot be read at all in the Plain Digests.
If anyone has an e-mail system that is not represented on the Plain Text
page, you can send me instructions for how to change to Plain Text and I
will post it there.
