I am writing a grant for a class assignment. I need fiction books (picture and chapter) that have gardens or gardening as a theme or as a major part of the storyline. I have the obvious titles already. They include The Secret Garden and Mrs. Spitzer's Garden. Books that have 'garden' in the title are easy to find. But I am sure that there are many more books that I am overlooking. Thanks in advance for your help!

I've sent notices each week, and last week I sent a letter home. Today he spotted me processing some new books, and asked when they would be ready. I told him that if I didn't get any interruptions they would be ready within an hour. He left and immediately returned with his two long-overdue books! I suspect that they have been in his locker all this time. I guess I need to spread out the new books, so that new ones show up each week. -- David Lininger, kb0zke MS/HS Librarian Skyline MS/HS Urbana, MO 65767 (417) 993-4226 t i g e r l i b r a r i a n at g m a i l dot c o m -------------------------------------------------------------------- Please note: All LM_NET postings are protected by copyright law.

Not even dried blood. ***** Granted, it is not as dangerous as fresh blood. But, is it worth the chance? Even if it *were* safe, what about the Ick factor? For the deer blood, I would not put the book back on the shelf. If for no other reason than I know at least 10 boys who would take the book and rub the soiled pages on someone. Then, there would be a furious response from the parents. I know I'd be furious. Once I found out that yes, that was real blood - human or otherwise - there would be holy hell to pay. The Health Department at least, and depending on how I felt about the kid who did the rubbing, the cops. There is a limit to what we can take away and hide and restrict to prevent bullying, but we can replace the books.

I work as a librarian at a residential facility for teenage boys. The first time I lent out the sequel to a popular YA novel, the student who had borrowed it returned it a week later and apologizedf for having a nosebleed on page 172...! I asked the school's nurse the same question about safety. The answer was that dried blood is harmless. I then double-checked with my principal, who also thought it was safe, but decided to try to remove the blood stain, since she said she's a whiz at such things. But, alas, no luck. So I'm keeping the book but also buying another copy. S.
