Dear All:
    Many of you responded to my request for a social studies list in June.
 I'm sorry I've been lax in responding to those who asked for the information
to be posted here.  I found out that The Children's Book Council offers the
following:

Notable Children's Trade Books in the Field of Social Studies 1995
(published in Social Education April/May 1995) 150 titles K-8  $2.00

Outstanding Science Trade Books for Children in 1995 *from Science and
Children, March 1995)  $2.00

Each is $2.00 and send a stamped 3 oz. self-addressed 6" x 9" envelope
to CBC, 568 Broadway, Suite 404, New York, NY 10012.
   Thank you to the many people who responded with the above answer.  I ended
up finding the issue of Social Education at a local college library and
photocopying it.  I probably should have supported CBC and sent them the
money!!
  Here's a couple of people with different responses:
     From:      K12OCCZC@vaxc.hofstra.edu (CAROL CROCE-LIBRARY MEDIA SPECIALIST) I
received lists of books with bibliographies:
      PermaBound Books has a catalog called Linking Literature to the N.Y.S.
Social Studies Curriculum K-12...it has great books listed.
      Wiltz, John E.  Books in American History:  a basic list for High
Schools.
  Bloomington: Indiana University Press. 1964.
       Kirby, David K.  American Fiction to 1900:  a Guide to Information
Sources.
  Detroit:  Gale Research Co. 1975.
        Howard, Elizabeth Fitzgerald.  America as story:  Historical Fiction
for
  Secondary Schools .  Chicago: ALA, 1988.
          Logasa, Hannah.  Historical Non-Fiction:  An Organized, Annotated,
Supplementary Reference Book for the Use of Schools, Libraries, General
Reader.
Brooklawn, N.J.:  McKinley Pub. Co. 1964

     From:      rgilbert@llwmht.ll.pbs.org (Ruth Gilbert)  I received this address
for a good comprehensive list: National Council of Social Studies  P.O. Box
90363  Washington,  D.C.  20090 They publish a list in the journal Social
Studies and the Young Learner.

   Thanks to everyone.  Enjoy this year at school.  ( I unfortunately left my
post in Clarkstown to return to the familiar teritory of public
librarianship!  BUT the opening at my school is still available if anyone is
interested!!!)
