Teen Bands in the Branches
I can't stand it any more! Laura has a post on the "Library Stuf" blog about yet another library doing music programs for teens and I want to do something too!!!! So, if you're interested in pursuing the idea of a "teen band" program at your branch, please let me know by the end of next week. (June 10) When I know who wants to participate, I can get Dave involved. My vision is to advertise for young bands (too young for the club scene) who'd like a place to perform and who come with their own built in roadies and groupies. Beyond that, I'm open to suggestion. So if you've ever wanted to do it, let me know, cause now's the time.
Food in Programs
When is food in programs is okay? Daycamp refreshments, crafts, and/or when it is donated by Friends or someone.
When is food in programs not okay? When it is not really essential to the program AND the library pays for it. Example: Snacks at Amine Club. If the library pays for soda pop and pizza, that's not okay. But if someone donates the pizza, we can get away with the soda pop. Better yet, just have the kids bring their own dirnks.
When in doubt, call Liz and ask. Remember, my philosophy is to find a way to say "yes" if I possibly can.

Awesome Anime
To all interested in Anime, Final Fantasy VII-Advent Children will be ordered for our system. The graphics are amazing and so are the highlights in the character's hair.
Welcome, Welcome!
Welcome, everyone, to Kidding about Blogs, the brand new CCPL blog just for youth service topics. What shall we talk about? Anything at all related to library services for children and teens.
Did you see a TV program based on a kid's book and got a great program idea? Tell us!
Did you visit another library and see a great display? Share!
Do you need fresh craft ideas for your American Girls tea party? Ask here!
Have you read a great book that practically booktalks itself? Share it here!
That's the idea. I only ask that you not ask procedural questions or quick informational questions, and of course, do not share patron information.
Otherwise, let's talk!!
