Hi Molly!
I've not had a dog and Berber, but know that a Berber and certain shoes,
esp. ladies' high heels, don't mix. They can get snagged/caught in the
carpet and cause a fall!
I'd listen to the salesman! We went with wood.

Subject: WAY OT: Berber carpet and dogs
I am embarassed to be posting this to this forum, but I don't know how
else to ask a large group of people.
We need to replace the carpet in our home and wanted a berber. The
carpet salesman said that it's not good for homes with dogs because
their claws can get caught in it. The berber was the most expensive of
our choices, so I suppose I should take the salesman at his word. (why
would he talk us out of the more expensive carpet?) But I am having
trouble believing him. I don't know anyone who has Berber and a dog, so
I'm asking you. Has anyone had personal experience and can you tell me
about it? We have a three year old beagle.
I know this is a trivial question in the grand scheme of things, so feel
free to click delete.
Thanks in advance,
Molly Clark

Subject: Mothers & Daughters: Free online magazine subscription
Hi to All,
I found this great online magazine subscription for mothers and daughters.
It is published quartlery and is called Seasonal Delights. If you sign up by
September 30th you will get it free for a year. You can read it online and
download all 20 pages or just the pages you want. It is a beautiful magazine
that makes you feel so good. It has autumn recipes, decorating tips, crafts,
puzzles, quotes from poets and authors of long ago and autumn book
recommendations. The cover is so beautiful that I printed it off and will
laminate it. Kind of reminds you of the old Ideals? magazines. Hope you
enjoy it and register before Sept. 30th is over. Here is the link

Subject: GEN: Do you know this book?
A social studies teacher in my high school is looking for a book that her
6th grade teacher used with her class about 12 or so years ago.
It's a picture book. In it, the U.S. has been covered with ash -- as in
Pompeii -- and aliens? are trying to figure out stuff about the culture of
this place by examining people, placement of things, etc.
I know it's not much to go on , but if anyone knows what this could possibly
be, she'd be very happy.

Subject: SHARE: link to AASL website
Maybe I'm slow and maybe everyone knows this already, but I was using the
link in my favorites tonight to get to the AASL website and was frustrated
when I couldn't find any current information about the SKILLs Act, etc. In
fact, everything on the page was about D.C., long over.
I remembered that ALA has been doing a major overhaul of the website so I
went through ALA and finally found the new link for AASL's home page which
is very current and informative! I thought I would share it with you
(unless, of course, you already know it and I am showing how behind I am
-- I have a birthday this week and am quickly losing brain cells!)

From: Gail Brubaker <srvca.library@COMCAST.NET>
Subject: TAR: Enthusiastic library parent problem
We have library volunteer parents who accompany each class and usually do
the read aloud and help with checkout since I'm the only one in the library.
While I do have a few that aren't very interesting story-tellers, I have one
enthusiastic mom who is just a delight. However, she has just emailed me a
listing she found for a large leather chair that she wants to buy and donate
to replace the chair that parents currently sit in. The problems are: I
don't like the chair! I don't think leather is a good choice in an
elementary school library because kids use this chair as well and is rather
formal and doesn't look very cozy. The $300 could be spent in so many ways
that are truly needed, yet the parent isn't interested in the other items
I've said we could benefit from. She also wants a side table so the reading
parent can put their keys, sunglasses, a glass of water and the book on it.
(A glass of water near our picture books? I tell the kids not to do that!)
She means well, but how can I redirect her or flat-out say no without
dimming her excitement for story time? By the way, she reads for 2nd
graders, and actually sings a welcome song each time they come in. Last week
as her own daughter came in the door, she cringed and covered her ears while
saying, "No! Not the song" just as her mom began. It's a cute song, but a
bit babyish for them. Any tactful responses are greatly appreciated.
