Dear Vanessa,
I hate to sound cynical (especially since I'm not even
30 yet) but if I had a dollar for everytime I said "it
does seem to eat up professional time that could be
more profitably spent in other ways" (although I can't
remember the last time I said it quite so
diplomatically) I could retire and move to Hawaii.
Sadly, this is the case in just about every library I
know of that is offering Internet service to the
public. The library I used to work in had ALL of it's
professional staff "at the desk" 40 hours a week and
left NO time "to use their considerable talents in
other ways."
As to other approaches my recommendation has always
been to get paraprofessionals to handle the brunt of
this service. But depending on who you work for, how
supportive they are, and how much money they have/are
willing to give you, this isn't always an option. The
only other proposal I've come up with was to build a
moat between the service desk and the computers, but I
never could come up with a realistic budget for how to
feed the crocodiles.
:)

P.S. Kate Frankel just reviewed my tape A Giant, An Imp, and Two Jacks in
Storyline: "Here you will find solid versions of four solid traditional
tales, each with a bit of the wry personality and sly comment of the
teller....These are well chosen versions, told fully and well." For the

Hi everyone, We are looking to put on (in the very near future, alas) an 8
week hour long series of programs around several well known (worn)
fairytales. We are thinking of reading the original and possibly other
cultural variations on say Cinderella,
Rapunzel, etc, parodies of Cinderella, such as Cinderedna, and Bigfoot
Cinderrrrella. Then doing some small craft that could be related.
We were
going to use Kathy Ross's Crafts From Your Favorite Fairy Tales for
inspiration. What we need now are some filler ideas, music, small
dramatics...something to catch them with. Has anyone out there done a
similar program and have any ideas they might be willing to share?
We're
looking at folktales too, of course. Maybe one or two weeks of
international folktales or something. I would be more than happy to
compile
and post the results to the group for future reference. Thanks so much!

Subject: INTERVIEW QUESTIONS FOR CHILDREN'S LIBRARIAN POSITION
Date: Tue, 9 Jan 2001 09:52:25 CST
Hello Group,
Several months ago someone collected a list of good questions to ask
candidates for a children's librarian position. At the time I did not
foresee being in a position to interview someone. Well, things happen
fast and now I am in that position. Could someone please send me that
list of questions to me personally? I would really appreciate it. Thank
you so much.
Happy New Year everyone, Tanya

Date: Tue, 9 Jan 2001 09:54:45 CST
Hi folks,
I am looking for some help locating a book....
all I have is that the patron read the book in the mid-70's, but doesn't
know if it was a new book at the time.
He remembers it is about a father and son who go winter camping. The
father
falls down a ravine (or something) and breaks his leg, so the boy goes off
by himself to get help.
Though it isn't Danny Champion of the World, the patron was thrilled to have
me give him that book while he awaits an
answer from cyber-world.
Thanks so much for your help. He'll be so thrilled if anyone out there
can
"name that book."

We have students in the second grade searching for a "pagent
wagon" from the
middle ages. We have searched the books on the middle ages and have
examined the encyclopedia articles on the middle ages. We did find a
reference to using wagons to move stage sets - but this is contemporary -
not medieval. Nothing comes up - under wagons or middle ages.
This is
part of an assignment known locally as the odyssey of the mind.
