Question answered by Jessy Boop

Before reading your question I'd never heard of them before but after having a quick info search of google, they seem like an absolutely brilliant idea. They don't have one in my area and I think it could be a good opportunity to bring something to my town, so although I can't help you (I live in Wales, UK, not in America, sorry), you may have helped me to help my town :) Thank you.

I need to find out how my fb page comes up in search results?

I need to find out how my fb page comes up in search results, but I need people to search for it who aren't my friends, or friends of my friends, as that skews the results. Can anyone search for it and let me know if it comes up? It's Papanui Toy Library...and the logo is a picture of a train (so you know when you've found it) As far as I know you can't search fb without being signed in as someone?

The only information that it shows is the other tab where you have listed Kidz Tea. Other than that it shows nothing.... So in other words, you are flying under the radar.

Wow! A toy library. You should have something like a 1-5 Dollar Library Card Fee... And you have to get like dolls, plushies, action figures and like all those common toys such as frisbees, (might not consider this) pogo sticks and of course board games! ~Good Luck

Question answered by blueskies

Here are two examples of what IPO Charts look like.... You state the module in the first column... then in the second... the "I"nput items, the 3rd column you list the "p"rocessing elements of each module... and in the 4th column you list the "O"utput items.... That's how come it is called an "IPO" chart Hope this helps!

Best way to learn on Grooming ones tiny toy poodle?

I have a 13month old tiny toy poodle who has probaby seen 2 groomings - 1 with me thru PetCo and 1 with previous owner. I would like to do it myself but don't know what to expect and what tools that I will need. She is about 4lbs and will probably fit in any of my bathroom sinks or kitchen sink to wash. Any advice out there is welcome!

Question answered by ♥ Jasmine ♥

I agree with the answer above me. You really should learn more about it before trying it. You could go to the library even, and look for some books on poodle grooming first to see if you are still interested in it before spending money on supplies. You can also do some research on line. Google 'poodle grooming', or 'learn to groom poodles'... I'm not trying to discourage you, alot of people learn to groom their own dogs. I just think you should check into things a little more first.

what do libraries do with the stuff that comes with books?

at our library, sometimes books come with trading cards, posters, little toys that the library takes. what do they do with them? because some of them are to good to throw away, like the digital copies of movies.

We put them aside and use them as Rewards for the Children's Summer Reading Program. Costs are so high that every little bit helps.

There is 9 of them along with there boxes all neatly displayed and have never been opened or played with. Something tells me there worth something but I have no idea how to find out. Thanks!

I would consult a price guide. I linked a guide that I have found very helpful in the past. It is alphabetical by item, so I would try looking up "toy" or somethink more specific, like the type of toy it is. The book has been released in multiple editions, although the one that I have used was a third edition. You can either buy it off the Amazon site, or go to your local library or bookstore. A library will likely have something similar. They have the fifth edition at Barnes and Noble, so I would definitely try there. I would not reccommend looking it up on ebay. Sure, ebay gives you a good idea for prices, but the starting bid for that kind of thing could be anywhere from 99 cents to 20 dollars. Looking the toys up in a collector's book is probably your best bet for their worth. Based on the collector's books I've seen, they would probably price the toys at $5-$8 each. Since they are all in their packages, maybe $10. Now, how much you can get for them is something else. Since there are so many people on Ebay asking 99 cents for a toy, you will probably only get $3-$5 each, at most. One more thing: If you are looking to sell, I wouldn't try and sell all of them in one post, like this one guy did. Most people are looking for individual toys to complete their partial collection, not start a collection. And although it may seem like selling all of them at once will get you more money, selling them individually allows you to charge more. (Ex: Is it cheaper per roll to buy 1 paper towel roll, or a 24 pack of paper towels?)

How should I set up a treasure hunt for a large group of young children in a library and parking lot?

I'll be setting up a treasure hunt to start off a party at my local library. In past years, around 50 or more children have come to the party so I should expect the same number (maybe even more). The children range in age from 5 up to 10 (although I was planning that the really young children would get help from their parents). The hunt will be set up in the library parking lot (which is pretty big) and in the children's section of the library. The only problem is, I'm not really sure how to set it up! Should the children work in groups or should they work alone? Should they have to carry a sheet and maybe pick up a sticker at each clue to make sure they go to each clue? Should a library volunteer be at each clue to read the clue to the children or should the children read the clues themselves? Any ideas or help would be amazing :)

If you are going to have people showing up at different times, maybe you should consider just a generic hunt instead of a treasure hunt? Hide a bunch of little themed toys... like little dinosaurs or even cards with pictures. Tell them they can redeem 3 for a prize and send them off as they come in. If you would like to go with the treasure hunt, maybe divide it between the little ones that can't read and the older ones that can. For the younger ones give them a "map" with a picture story and a picture of the location of the first clue. At that clue have another part of the story and a picture of the 2nd place they need to go... etc... We did this with the 4-6 crowd and it was a hit... no "reading" required and they are doing it themselves. At the end they would tell us the 'story'- either as individuals or group (go with the flow for this group) and it would connect to the theme and what comes next. For the older ones regular written clues should work fine. I don't know that you really need to do the sticker at each clue so much as at the end. You'll know at the end when they "tell" you the story... but it's all about fun, so as long as they are trying I wouldn't really worry if they miss one or just send them back to try again. If you do it this way, you will have to have some sort of props around the parking lot to send them around. I would also have the volunteers just float- some kids they may need to walk around with but most they can just sort of watch out for as they reach the stations. Good luck :)
