I am hoping you can help me with a stumper. I have someone looking for a
book for 3-5 year olds, explaining to them how not to treat animals, i.e.
not hitting the animal, no biting the animal, no throwing the animal....
So
far I have only found books on how to care for your pet, feeding and holding
gently etc. and books for older children on cruelty to animals. I tried the
catalog, the PETA website and the ASPCA. A to Zoo has also been checked. Any
title come to mind? you can answer me off the list at maloney@palsplus.org.
Thanks, Jenn

I have a friend who teaches in a rural elementary school in Washington State.
She facilitates a book club of 8-9 year old girls who wanted to read "The
Princess Diaries". The school librarian told them they were too young for
this book. The book club is interested in who and how books are declared
appropriate for a certain chronological age. Does anyone have any suggestions of
books or websites or articles to suggest for the teacherand/or girls?
My immediate response is that as a public librarian, I don't decide whether
books are appropriate for a certain age, but certainly in our review sessions we
do recommend a book be classified into certain sections based on our
professional opinions.
Are there any school librarians on this list who can shed some light on your
perspective?

Thanks to those of you who replied with ideas of what this might be!
Two titles seemed to be the most likely: "Gray Wolf" by Rutherford
Montgomery, or "Lobo" by Ernest Thompson Seton. We've requested
both of
these through Inter-library loan for the patron, who is really delighted
with the possibility of actually finding the book she's been searching
for!
I appreciate the help.
Original question:
I have a patron looking for a book she read about ten years ago about a
wolf cub that loses its parents and grows up alone, avoiding dangers
from trappers and other animals. She thinks the book is titled "Gray
Wolf," but can't remember an author. She's not certain if it was
fiction or non-fiction - if it was non-fiction, it read like a novel.
It's not "White Fang."

Hi,
I didn't get any replies, so I thought I would post one more time. A 62
year old patron is looking for the nursery rhyme/poem of "Old Granny
Gooseberry" that her grandmother mentioned in her diary. I had no
luck on
Google and am feeling completely stumped. If you have any idea of where
this old rhyme can be located, the patron and I would be truly grateful.
Thank you!

Being an Australian participant in your wonderful list I have tried to stay
zip on this. However, I couldn't resist the temptation to comment. I
frequently am frustrated by how defensive many librarians are about our
profession. I'm with Jeanette & Stacey - turn it into an opportunity. We
have run Celebrity Librarian programs in our library with our General
Manger, Mayor local politicians etc participating. They stand behind the
desk with a staff member "to assist". Of course they don't really work
but
they do get an opportunity to see what happens on a day to day basis at the
library. Participants have been amazed at the questions asked and the buzz
of the library. All positive for the library. That the magazine considers
the opportunity to "work" in the library for a day as a major prize is
surely a good thing.

Subject: RE: Be a librarian for a day
I agree with Jeannette. This sounds like a good way to expose misperceptions
and demonstrate what librarianship is all about. Think of how surprised the
winner will be when he/she sees what we really do for a living. Most people
assume all we do is read on the job and check
out books to people. Dealing with unruly children during
StoryTime, unhappy parent's doing their children's homework, and other
things we face almost every day may make the average Woman's Day reader more
appreciative of their local librarians. Let's give the winner a day they
will never forget!

The way that I read this is as a shadowing opportunity. The winner
"shadows"
a librarian for a day, participating in some tasks, etc. There has been
considerable talk in various journals about the lack of good library school
candidates and the lack of interest in the profession in general recently.
Why not look at this as a way to let many people see what librarians
actually do do. And why shouldn't Ala reach out to the public through widely
seen sources.

When I would go to PTA functions, we oftren had badge holders. Little
plastic case open at the top and a elastic type cord. I'd look at office
supply stores for biz supplies, they might be called badge
holders....you could have the kids put stickers on them, maybe?

Hi Everyone, I remember a while back reading that someone collected
library cards from various libraries across the U.S. This year our summer
reading club theme is Reading Road Trip U.S.A. and if the library cards
were not in use, we would greatly appreciate it if we could borrow
them for a display. Please reply to me directly at
ksulliva@suffolk.lib.ny.us
Thank you in advance!

Does anyone know of any good book review magazines that are focused on
Juv an Young Adult books? A patron of ours is looking for this type of
a magazine for her son who would like to read good reviews about these
books. Any ideas can be sent to me at amstutre@oplin.org,
and if anyone
is interested in a copy of the compilation just let me know.
Thanks so much,
Becky

We had our party last night and it went well,
following advice given here. I scrambled the eggs (2
dozen all together) in electric frying pans and served
them and ham kept separate (to respect muslims and
jews and people who don't want their ham touched by
green eggs) in styrofoam cups with plastic spoons. We
showed the video of Green Eggs and Ham before and
after. The crowd was all ages, over 30 people, which
is a lot for our small, narrow Carnegie-library
children's room.
Thanks to all for your help.

For family literacy programs we do we're looking to compile a list of
picture and picture story books that suggest ways or encourage adults to
spend intimate time with children- indoors doing activities together,
sharing family stories etc, and exploring outdoors such as in
Owl Moon,
The Crack of Dawn Walkers ...Thanks... and we will gladly share the
compilation.
and did you know...The more often families eat dinner together the less at
risk the children are to abuse drugs, alchohol and tobacco?.
More bridges...less walls... between us all!
