RE: [ha-Safran]: Recording sessions

I agree with Heidi. I personally have purchased tapes from AJL and other conferences I've attended in the past and never listened to them once. As many people use Power Point or other presentation tools that can easily be published on the web, I think the best way to go is to have sessions (presen

[ha-Safran]: Combining Preschool and Lower school libraries

Our school is considering combining the Preschool with the Lower School Library. Preschool is 18 months (yes!)-PreKinder. Lower School is Kinder-4th grade. I would like to hear from Day School librarians who have a combined library or have worked in one…what are the advantages/disadvantages.

RE: [ha-Safran]: Teen programs

My budget allows me to purchase a paperback copy for each student that signs up. I do a sign-up each month, as the book titles change so does the # of students. Then I order that number. The book is theirs to keep, which is part of the program. If a student did not sign up to read that month's

RE: [ha-Safran]: Teen programs

This is the first year, so have only done a few books: I am David by Anne Holm (girls hated the book, boys thought was OK, but all had a LOT to say about it), Last Shot by John Feinstein (boys and girls loved), Uglies by Scott Westerfeld (only girls read and all loved it, and had a lot to talk

RE: [ha-Safran]: Teen programs

Hi Denise, I'd love to other responses you get, would you forward them to me or the list? I am a day school librarian and work with grades 5-8. I have student volunteers during recess every day. It works out, sort of. They do things like book processing (mylar covers, etc.) put up periodicals,

[ha-Safran]: Thank you Rachel Kamin

I want to thank Rachel Kamin for the thoughtful, well-researched article which she wrote for School Library Journal (SLJ May 2005, "Middle East Muddle?: A reader challenges some Rosen titles" pg. 13). It is difficult to be on your toes about every title you consider for purchase, and it is eas

Here is an excerpt from our Circ Policy. We are a day school, however, thought you'd like to see another example. Lost or Damaged Materials All library users are expected to cover the cost of replacing a lost or damaged item. Replacement cost for a lost book will be requested after 30 days and

RE: [ha-Safran]: First day of school

Library classes (k-4) began 2nd week of school here. I think the main argument that won us that week was that we hadn't any trained volunteers to do check-out while the librarian teaches. Classes would be chaos without that parent at the circ desk. It was very helpful and I hope this helps other
