Hello list members,
Thanks to everyone who took the time to respond to my question about series
of books from late 1950s early 1960s that featured a character named Eddie
who collected junk. He was sort of a Tom Sawyerish type. Some titles might
be: Eddy and the fire engine, Eddie and the homework machine, Eddy and the
glockenspiel. Everyone responded that the books were authored by Carolyn
Hayward who also wrote the Betsy series. So many of you remembered the books
fondly.
Thanks again,
Mitzi

Many thanks to all who responded with information on the EZ lounger
J-shaped chairs. We've decided to go ahead and get them for our Youth
Services area. Even though there will be more rules to enforce, the
chairs seem to be worth it!

Greetings all,
I am planning an end of year Chocolate Fest program
for teens and I am looking for great ideas around this
theme. I have thought of them making chocolate
candies using molds, playing chocolate Bingo (they use
chocolate words for the cards and chocolate candy to
cover the words) and taste testing chocolate candy.
Any other suggestions you provide will be appreciated.
I will post the results.
Please email me directly at heatherlynnu@yahoo.com.
Thanks again,
-Heather

I have had a patron inquiring about this institute that runs out of Connecticut,
they apparently publish books written by children, they also charge a fee.
If anyone has information about this organization, I would very much appreciate
your input.

Have you hosted a children's author that you thought was wonderful? I have
some money to spend (!) and would like to have someone who has written both
picture books and juvenile novels or nonfiction. While some writers have
wonderful websites with detailed instructions as to how to contact them, others
I assume you just have to work through the publishers and not one publisher has
called me back. Any recommendations? Contacts? I will have at
least $10,000 to spend if that helps. Thank you all very much. We
sure get lots of good ideas from PUBYAC.

Hi, Friends!
Recently there was a posting from Australia asking for recommendations for
speakers. I would highly recommend Rob Reid for your event. Rob Reid
is the author of the books Family Storytime, Children's Jukebox, Something Funny
Happened at the Library and Wave Goodbye. Currently he is a contributor to
the new magazine "Library Sparks." I had the good fortune of
hearing him speak in Chesterland, Ohio in 2003. He is lively, personable
and gets his audience involved.

A couple weeks ago I asked for some ideas to help us celebrate the summer
Olympics during our teen summer programming. Here are the compiled ideas:
* Paint the Library Red, White and Blue (we paint the library
windows
for Independence Day) for USA in the olympics!
* Readers Theater for YAs this summer: Thespians, Rhapsody,
Rhapsodists
* Judo demonstration
* Tae Kwon do demonstration
* Fencing demonstration
* Paint-a pot - terra cotta pots
* Papyrus, make your own paper
* Frescoe painting
* Movie Night with sport/Olympic themed movies
Greek Feast, Greek Banquet, My Big Fat Greek Feast
Greek Banquet with Teens!
My TAB members each picked a Greek God/Goddess, did a little light
"research" and dressed as that Deity for the Banquet (all togas worn
with
shorts and shirts underneath- at least a tank top). An area Greek
restaurant donated some great food and we played some Greek Mythology Trivia
Games.
Part of the fun was spending the few meetings prior to the Banquet creating
the props for customs - thunderbolt for Zeus, etc. and developing the most
effective way to fold our old sheets into attractive togas.
Brehm-Heeger, Paula [Paula.Brehm-Heeger@cincinnatilibrary.org]
We had a Groovy Greeks night organized by our branch's teen history club.
They made hummus, and baklava. As a craft they made Greek coins, and they
even found a Greek band. We danced to traditional greek music, ate yummy
food and had a wonderful time.
Adriana Heard [aheard@sanantonio.gov]
Last summer, my TAB group had a Greek International Night, which we called
"My Big Fat Greek Festival." This was a family program for all
ages which
was created and run by the TAB group. We made Greek tragedy/comedy masks
out of paper plates, made mosaic coasters (glued dried beans of different
colors and varieties on plastic lids), and had Greek dancing and lots of
Greek food which we all made and brought to the program. It was a blast!
