ELE: Library Skills Videos

[KAREN DEFRANK <KDEFRANK@GLASSBORO.K12.NJ.US>]

A few days ago I posted a message about a video called The Story of Books.
Published by Meridian, it features a girl and a muppet-like puppet called
Androgena to talk about the history of books, from cave painting to
hieroglyphics to paper-making to book publishing. It ends with "The Reading
Rap".It is exactly what I was looking for, and my students love it.

A number of people wrote and asked me where they could purchase it. (guess I
should have anticipated that!) I borrowed my copy from our county center.

The Story of Books can be purchased for $89 from Tracy Wall at Universal.
Her number is 1-800-977-0704.  Her e-mail is swall@leading.net  . Universal
is a video distributor of educational tapes.

There are two more stories in the Androgena series: What is a Media Center,
and Research It - Madam Know It All and the Media Center. The entire set can
be purchased for $239.

Hope this helps you,
