Dear LM_NETers, I am forwardeing to you this information which just appeared in my mailbox. If you wondered about the Batttle of the Books or wanted "official" information here is you source: Five of us will be doing a panel discussion program at AASL in Portland in April. Our program is called MOTIVATE TO READ! COMPETING THROUGH BATTLES, BEES AND BOWLS and is scheduled for 3PM on Saturday. The panelists are Roz Goodman, who spurred the adoption of the program in Alaska public schools; Beverly Mulhern, a YA librarian who has successfully used the program as a summer program for teenagers in the Douglas County Library System in Oregon; Fran Corcoran from Ela Township Library in Illinois, who has used it with all ages in both schools and public libraries; as well as Cheri Page and Sybilla Cook (me) who are the authors of BOOKS, BATTLES AND BEES published by ALA in January 1995. Our book contains 5 questions each on 260 children's books, some of which are mentioned on this LM_NET message, as well as suggestions for implementing the program and a bibliography. It's a GREAT program for those of you who are just thinking about it, and we hope the five of us with our varied backgrounds and experiences can answer any questions anyone can ask. Do come!!! I'm not on LM_NET because I felt there were just too many messages, but I would love to be included in any future messages about this particular program. Also, we are just beginning to finalize our plans and gather our handouts, so any suggestions you may have about what you would like to hear would be most helpful. sybilla@rosenet.net Ann Symons, Librarian Juneau Douglas High School Juneau, Alaska 907-463-1947 FAX: 907-463-1932 symonsa@jsd.k12.ak.us Roz Goodman goodmanr@jsd.k12.ak.us Auke Bay Library on Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday only Juneau, AK. ______________________________________ Jamie Murphy Boston, Librarian Davis Joint Unified School District Birch Lane Elementary, 1600 Birch Ln.
