Library Happenings and Member News Connecticut author Jeanine Behr Getz read her new children's book Think Green to an eco-conscious group of kids at Woodbridge Town Library. They learned about saving water, recycling and saving energy with hands-on activities. The kids made their own "Backyard Buffet for the Birds" using recycled plastic bottles and wooden spoons. Circulation Librarian Robin Bennett presents Peter Dinella with a new Granby Library card. The library asked the local Camera Club to submit Granby photographs to be considered for the card. Mr. Dinella's photograph of the Barndoor Hills was chosen as "most representative of Granby" from the many beautiful selections. Kate McClelland, Youth Services Librarian at Perrot Memorial Library in Old Greenwich, has been elected vice-president/president-elect of the Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC), a division of the American Library Association (ALA). She officially assumes office at the end of the 2008 ALA Annual Conference in Anaheim, CA. The Stratford Library Board of Trustees’ fifth annual "Broadway Comes to Stratford" was a gala evening of musical vignettes, fine hors d'ouevres and delectable desserts. The stellar event had 200 in attendance and raised over $13,000. Proceeds benefited the library's book collection. Right: Pianist Tom Jennings, Library Director Barbara Blosveren and singers Laura and Kyle Pfortmiller. Canterbury resident Jeanette Kildea, who recently was awarded $60,000 in a free-speech settlement suit with the town, donated $5,000 to Canterbury Public Library. Kildea said the gift she gave the library was all the money she received from the settlement after legal fees were deducted.

Below: Brundage Community Branch in Hamden recently presented a program with cartoonist Jerry Craft. There was great attendance and the kids begged Jerry to stay and draw more—which he graciously did.
An anonymous benefactor has pledged $800,000 to complete construction at the Bethel Library. The generous donation puts the library over the halfway mark for the $3 million needed to finish the interior of the building. Congregation Beth Israel in West Hartford has just opened The Ellen Jeanne Goldfarb Community Learning Center. The Center has a collection of over 13,000 volumes related to Judaica. For more information visit the website at www.cbict.org, or contact Jane Zande at 860.233.8215, ext. 230, or jzande@cbict.org. The Rotary Club of Clinton recently donated a new American flag to the Henry Carter Hull Library. A short ceremony was performed on May 15 to retire the old flag and put up the new. Pictured left to right: Adult Programming Librarian David Boudinot and Jim Beardsley, Linda Beavers, and Darlene May of the Clinton Rotary Club.

Congratulations to the 2nd Annual May Madness—InfoAnytime Challenge Champions, Henry Carter Hull Library in Clinton and Wethersfield Library! At HCH Library, staff, patrons and library board members worked together to promote this service, resulting in 209 complete InfoAnytime reference transactions from May 5 - May 16. The team placed InfoAnytime signs up around the library, promoted May Madness on their homepage, involved area schools and provided tutorials on this service. At Wethersfield, winner in the "Best Transcript" category, a patron needed help with a trivia question late one night. They received a high-quality, accurate response through Wethersfield’s InfoAnytime service...and the patron and librarian had fun researching the question together. Thanks to all the fantastic libraries who made this year's challenge so successful!
Jan Gluz Cooperative Spirit Award The CLC board voted to honor Jan Gluz by naming CLC's annual Cooperative Spirit Award after her. CLC has now established a special fund for that purpose, generously established by Barbara Bryan, retired Fairfield University Library Director and long-time member of CLA's Legislative Committee. The Jan Gluz Cooperative Spirit Award is given annually at the CLC Annual Meeting in June. Its purpose is to honor a library leader who has actively promoted cooperation and cooperative projects among libraries and librarians in Connecticut. (Pat Holloway, now of West Hartford PL, and Carl Antonucci of Capital CC were the first two recipients in 2006 and 2007 respectively.) Many people who knew Jan have asked about making a financial contribution in her memory. If you would like to make a contribution, please send it to the JGCSA Fund, c/o CLC, 234 Court St. Middletown, CT 06457. Income from this special fund will provide the actual award for the recipient and possibly a cash gift, depending on the fund's annual income.

Author, Author!: LROC Showcase There's nothing quite like meeting an author in person, and author visits are perhaps one of the most popular programs libraries can offer their patrons. We have geography on our side here in Connecticut, where so many wonderful authors find their home. So how do you find just the right author for your audience? CLC’s LROC of course!
O
n May 13, the Children's Librarians' Roundtable of Southeastern CT hosted CLC's first Author's @ the Library Showcase. The showcase was the brainchild of Sue Palmieri (Groton PL) with CLRT-SE co-chairs Linda Slate (Jonathan Trumbull Library, Lebanon) and Nancy Brewer (Ledyard Libraries) Librarians and Authors at the Showcase: Pat Aldrich from Salem Free Public Library with author Jeanine Behr Getz; author Dana Rau and Cris Staubach from Public Library of New London.
Hosted at the Groton Library, six wonderful authors mixed, mingled, talked about their latest books and demonstrated their library presentation. Visit the LROC www.ctlibrarians.org to learn more about the authors showcased (and other authors and performers too).
Karen Romano Young Six travelers—a sea turtle, a shark, a sailboat, a container ship, a nuclear submarine, and a right whale—wend their way across the Atlantic Ocean. How do they find their way? Who, or what, do they meet? What are the dangers? What will happen to them? Find out in this lively, colorful presentation based on Karen Romano Young's book, Across the Wide Ocean: The How, Why, and Where of Navigation for Humans and Animals at Sea. Karen wrote and illustrated this book, and, as part of her research, dove in a submarine two miles deep in the ocean. Her presentation includes the story of her dive, with many other stops along the way. Options include a collage class or writing workshop suitable for ages 8 and up.
Jeanine Behr Getz Think Green! introduces and educates our youngest generation on ways to think and act green through colorful illustrations showing simple everyday ideas for children to help keep the earth clean and safe for all people, animals, fish and birds.
Gail Gauthier Gail Gauthier is the author of eight books for children, including The Hero of Ticonderoga, an ALA Notable Book, and Saving the Planet & Stuff, a CT Book Award nominee. In 2007, A Girl, a Boy, and a Monster Cat, the first in The Hannah and Brandon Stories, a new series for 7- to 9-year olds was published by G. P. Putnam's Sons. A Girl, a Boy, and Three Robbers will be published in 2008. Gail uses story and slides to speak with children about using their own experience in their writing.
Katie Davis Katie Davis' first book, Who Hops?, was a National Parenting Publications Honor Book, a Children's Book-of-the-Month Club selection, a Junior Library Guild selection, and an Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Platinum Awardee. Her latest books include Kindergarten Rocks!; Mabel the Tooth Fairy and How She Got Her Job; Party Animals; Who Hoots; and Scared Stiff. Katie's programs include assemblies, workshops and virtual visits.
Dana Meachen Rau Dana Meachen Rau is the author of more than 200 books for children. She loves to share her excitement about researching and writing with young budding authors who all have their own stories to tell. Her presentations involve engaging children in dialogue and pulling out their ideas on the topics discussed. She has developed programs for PreK to Grade 6, including one on ladybugs that would be perfect for Catch the Reading Bug summer theme. Programs can also include a craft.
Brendan Hanrahan Presented by author Brendan Hanrahan, Exploring the Natural Wonders of Connecticut includes tales few have heard, but can be explored in no more time than it takes to pull off a highway to eat lunch. Based on the Road to Discovery Series of four guidebooks he published in 2004, the slideshow highlights the geologic history of Connecticut and places where continental collisions, rift valleys, lava floods and glaciers can be explored.
