stranded and i missed linda and of course we're back again to bring you information right into your living room without your peter's touch a public library so right into your living room we are ben you and i now i know and it's become  a tradition i guess the last couple of episodes that we like that linda likes to take the stand and talk about things that are going in the on going on in libraries the wroth of throughout our country you go news from around the world library news from around the world are then that'll be my cue that eric to the right thing you can start talking head a stop already ok here's today's here's today's discussion all right and i find this really interesting because we get a lot of the e books you know that even argue that having all the digital all the media all the stuff that we're getting this great article in the school library journal july just happened last month in praise of print it's called and it's the greatest article talking about print reading a book in print is like it sa reading up a look in print or reading it on a i pad or digital digitally are no books but ever so i've had this discussion with people who were talking about it or thought about it for sure because i will admit i have books you know i haven't to and i see benefits of absolutely i do too you know and me personally and this can be this line in here that it just fit me to the t and i think you and i've talked about it too is that i love holding a book i  the question that they ask is given the focus on e books these days could old fashioned print books provide a sippy or ear reading experience and it says actually yes especially for young children whose literacy skills are just beginning to emerge and they give eight reasons why i'll just go through them like very fast but it's so much makes it just makes so much sense number one when you're looking at a book you don't have to make choices like if you're looking at a screen and reading something on there you have all these choices of all these things that you can push and maybe even touch that or you should do that or go play a game and exactly so your you're focused on the story and a that goes on to say you know because you're the kids are thinking both i click on this will do that and do this and also the next one is that then there's no distractions within the text so that when you're reading it and you as a parent are reading it to a child you can actually pause in those they're more apt to ask a question or you can ask a question about what's going on instead of them kind of looking ahead because there's something else that they want to be doing or pressing or you know what i mean right you know what i mean i'll go with the timing on you know not that at that age also a lot of it love it love it because a book requires imagination it says imagination required you have to picture it in your head you know make up your own sounds make up your own voice you know like everything comes from you and that of the media putting it there for you know of life well this is what he sounds like this is what he does and if you know you have to use your own imagination even like for the e feel of the paper the sights of the rich colors of the pictures which that right away literary attitudes and i thought literary attitudes what that what does that mean it makes them slow down then it's so much sensory overload and again it's not cutting that down because it's going to go on to say that there is a definitely a place easy to share is number seven obviously to tell you how to read this book and about handing over just kind of because more and more and more is being offered on the media thing is the question one time somebody asked me well then we won't need libraries anymore you won't we won't need books and that's the kind all of that is never going to happen mobile device i also really like to listen on the i have the our libraries app on my phone yeah i like to listen to books on my phone while i'm out and about that also when i really enjoy that but  as one grows it will just that it is but i also wanted to mention just really quick because we're talking about the hardware that we have like the kindles and everything but we have to remember even the books you know that we have on our phones and i pads and stuff would download them from the library so we're still doing all the stuff during the day that we do all year round for our kindergarten under k so you can sign up for that you can start coming the program start the week at the time or fourteen and everything's kind of ready right back little break a little run but really it's not a break for anybody every time there's a break in between sessions i will get wild wonderful grandmother mom or caregiver and go so misled are you getting a vacation so where do you go and what don't have a program scheduled or same kids are still in the library at that time and they had explained groups of their wonderful moms all talk and their kids are reading their books and they're playing in our player part of their car their routine yet every savoring tuesday morning they come to the library that's going on but also with that being said with all our older ones are back in school my teens are back in school so are my very popular student led dungeons and dragons group which meets on mondays in the summer will be shifting and meeting on sunday is after a labor day holiday and the library is open on sundays from noon to four and my dungeons and dragons group which is completely led by students will meet from one to three on sundays  cat and i will give you a spoiler alert i have to do a spoiler alert ok when i was reading this and it's a typical peep the catty so funny and he wants to be cool for school everybody around him is telling him what to wear feel cool he doesn't feel well the moral of the story i have to show you the last page i thought this was so sweet it's perfect for the first the school it says if you want to be cool just be you know he goes through he takes off all those layers of clothes that everybody else felt like a should wear and put on his favorite like his favorite captured his favorite thing and now he felt good about themselves and he
