ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Things you just really needed to know.
RFID for Cheese
A Quebec cheese company has lost 1 ton of Cheddar it sank in a
fjord as an experiment, and not even divers have been able to find it.
Last year La Fromagerie Boivin lowered the cheese 150 feet into a
fjord, north of Quebec City to experiment with pressure, cold and
moisture. The company may try it again with a tracking device.

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE CAREFULLY AND CONTACT LISA ALBERS
AT
IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS.
Greetings Librarians,
During the spring semester, Iowa Public Television (IPTV) and the
State Library of Iowa are sponsoring a FREE series of five (5) ICN
events called Stories & More featuring stories and activities that
center on a monthly theme to institutions and programs that work
directly with
Iowa's preschool through Kindergarten children.
Stories & More sessions are offered twice (9:30-10:15 a.m. and
10:30-11:15 a.m.) on the second or third Wednesday of each month.
Registrants are encouraged to register for all five of the monthly
events in the spring semester Stories & More series. It is not
necessary for the same children to attend every session.
Spring 2006 themes include:
Wednesday, January 18 - Stories & More: ABC's
Wednesday, February 15 - Stories & More: Physical Activity
Wednesday, March 15 - Stories & More: Food
Wednesday, April 12 - Stories & More: Environment
Wednesday, May 17 - Stories & More: Diversity
What are libraries responsible to do?
1. Register for each of the ICN events that you would like your
library to participate in. We encourage you to sign up for the entire
series! See the "Registration Directions" listed further down in this
email.
2. Get a group of PK-first grade children (ages 4-7) to participate
for an ICN site in your community. Some libraries have contacted
preschools in their communities to participate in the sessions.
3. Be in the ICN classroom for each event as a monitor/helper to
the children from the community. If you don't have an ICN room in your
library, you can still participate in this opportunity, but you will
need to make sure the ICN room you are using is expecting your group
of children and you are responsible for supervision.
4. Provide minimal materials, like paper, pencil, crayons, markers,
or scissors for the session participants at your local site. Each
session has a little bit different list of materials that will be used at
your local site during the ICN session for the planned activities.
How do I register my library to participate?
