What about "The Book Jacket Award"?  This is one that I am thinking of using.  Our 
mascot is the Yellow Jackets, and I thought it would be catchy.

A great book is a homing device
For navigating paradise.
 
A good book somehow makes you care
About the comfort of a chair.
 
A bad book owes to many trees
A forest of apologies.

Subject: GEN: read-a likes

I am looking for comparable reads to the two books below. I am a middle
school librarian and students/ library aides have asked for books similar to
the two titles. (The two requests are seperate and have nothing to do with
one another. Consider them like two different LM_Net posts.)


1. Sign of the Beaver



2. My Lonestar Summer by D. Anne Love


Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

From:    Jeri Hurd <JHurd@KLHT.ORG>
Subject: camera repair responsibility?

We're working to implement a media element into our curriculum, and plan
to buy about 15 video cameras.  We're wondering how others handle the
logistics of this.  Do any of you have similar programs?

Obviously, students will need to check them out.  Do you allow them to do
this directly?  Through their teacher?  How do you handle repairs for the
inevitable breakage?  Are students responsible for any damage?  Do you
have contracts?

Thanks for any info!

NatureServe Explorer


http://www.natureserve.org/

"Non-profit conservation organization, NatureServe, with its colorful
website and troves of animal, plant, and ecological data, is a superb
resource for academics and members of the public. Two separate databases
NatureServe makes available stand out: NatureServe Explorer: an Online
Encyclopedia of Life and InfoNatura. NatureServe Explorer covers the United
States and Canada, with information on more than 65,000 plants, animals, and
ecosystems, particularly endangered species. InfoNatura focuses on 8,500
birds, mammals, and amphibians of Latin America, from the common to the rare
and endangered. NatureServe draws its data from scholarly sources and
databases compiled by local and national conservation organizations.
NatureServe's detail and presentation will be of value to all users who are
gathering biological and ecological data".

Thanks to all of you who volunteered your school's Website for my graduate

For those of you who sent me personal or business Websites for evaluation,

I need help with naming the awards I need to give out at our elementary
award ceremony.

I pick one student from each class to give an award to.  This is our first
time doing this.  I would like to give the award a catchy title, instead of
just

Library or media award. 

Any suggestions?
