to that i thought that's what you wanted to yeah ok why not so whatever to talk about some library news from around the globe with missile enough but this is actually more going to be more national news as opposed to it is a national it's all  united states last time we talked about the newberry award that was just given out and today i wanted to talk about the call the cot award which recognizes these we're both starring today what's with that ok we're not going to show yet it's going to be interesting so what i thought was the last time i told you that the newberry was the first award that was ever given out in the called a cot is the second or you know what some people say called a cot and some people say caldicott correct i don't know which one either i should have gotten on google and said how do you pronounce but i always said call the  the same page with that so we are going to talk about that this is been in existence since one nine hundred thirty seven and ward named after randolph randolph caldicott called randy yeah and it even you know there's all you look up information on things are so much about how they they give they do those coins those metals right you know the big metals and how the design came about and it's all it's all really cool so what i wanted to tell talk to you were actually show you for the illustrations of picture books first of all  one that one the very first called this was the very first one awarded of the bus i would have been one nine hundred thirty seven so long after the bible was written looks like a real head and yeah it does and you know what i think about you know and i can't really speak to all of these books the books nowadays but there wasn't any graphic help like you know computers and i mean this is all you know these are hand done these aren't you know right you know mixed with the computers i think that's really talent  it's really cold so that was the first one all right so like the newberry i looked up the one for the year that i was born which is the year that i said last time i will not mention and when i the look at this one could feel the rain come in and again you know these are all hand you know there's no computer manipulation or any right not that there's anything wrong with computer manipulation is sold it takes you know artistic talents and things to do maybe make some gosh lindsay matic ok then i'm going to give you tell you this year's and we do not have a copy of it in we have it of really bad printed really bad printed out picture this year's winner java costs dept zero radiant child it's a story of the young artist basket sorry with my pronunciations but this is the one i mean you can even see we don't have the book to show the illustrations but even as bad is this picture is just from you know enlarging it it's quite colorful all those winners now i have other winners of books that i'm the sick with a call to cut right now and then later those are the books that i went talk about ok ok so that we can move on so congratulations to all the new berry's last time in the call the cuts this time yeah that's awesome it's quite an honor yeah and it's a really really well last episode we talked about our buddy clifford here and how he's going to be doing our contest which is a writing contest for it's now only a regional thing it used to be a national contest but it's only going to be local for student writers from kindergarten their fifth grade so if you are creative and you like to write stories or you keep a journal or you like to draw pictures whatever it's up for one and so we're going to do is everyone is going to come to the library on february nineteenth and want to talk about the writing contest of the rules the writing contest i'm going to share all the previous winners the last couple years are actually on their website so we'll get to watch some of the previous winners and actually i was so excited last year in two thousand and sixteen one of our regular library patron we love and they have a big party for them they're a local puppet company will actually turn every single child's story into a puppet show and they perform that which is really cool to see so a lot of fun so that's a big deal the really big deal and such an honor and so it's just so much so much fun to participate i just really lucky that we've been doing this with them for how many years now right and then having a winner a local when i write a winner yeah that is so cool so it's very hopeful that she will participate again this year program what is going to i'm going to kind of talk to you about how the program works we have other little writing workshops to kind of do some writing ideas to help you brainstorm things like that and base and just kind of you know overview the contest itself and then you can submit your library is tight it is hard to squeeze in anything else because it's not just us you know it's all the other you know it's all stuff go you know we're getting that mid afternoon slump thing ok here's my and like i feel like a lot of the good schools have waiting lists and all kinds of stuff so good i had to think about it within a year thinking when he's thirty i'm probably going to have to for sure have an idea of what i want to do you will and it is a process and you really you know something that i use so many good ones do there are so many good ones that it's hard you know i couldn't even recommend any of them because they're all great for their reasons you know everybody and everyone is different and everyone has its you know uniqueness so we like that well because of that too this will be the first year that we're going to try actually we're kerry came up with the name preschool  something isn't there like a band or some music thing something a palooza i thought was cute preschool palooza and it is going to be a preschool fare where we're inviting preschools the teachers and or the directors to come in set up a table in the library or to the lobby and give information to parents so that you can in one area instead of driving from preschool to preschool to preschool to get all the information you'll have one good day to come in and we'll do some fun things with the kids the other thing i want to mention now we were just this is the first year that we're trying this right so and again because our schedule in the library is so tight we it's going to be the first saturday in march and looking for the think it march fourth at eleven thirty we have to squeeze it in next or we'd like to do it earlier because preschools a lot of them are like already done registering but i would like to see them still come out to give people like you information but they're going to going to need eventually and actually you know it goes like this before you know it you'll be picked i don't want to know all right i'm not telling you but i want to say you have a mom before you know it so we're going to do that i think it's fun we're going to try it and i think that's a great you know a lot of them for hopefully a lot of good information  another cute one ducks in a row she is another one that is great with the graphics long story short we talked about to bring out the characters just to hear to and then yeah i forgot the dog's name  bernie no st bernard no i can't remember if there is a dog even in these onesies just might be all the she has all kinds of animals in here and you know what you know i know we talked about this last time when i thought the doc what max the doc we know max because it's a he's a regular character and you see the dog in here but you don't really see a name but anyway she's so good you know she does these animals are unbelievable and so she partnered with us to get one thousand thousand books before kindergarten up and going a national initiative allowing us to use her characters anywhere we want as we know so we've had this relationship with her for a while and now for the first time ever she's never been to this area think she said the furthest maybe philadelphia and says she's coming here specifically to see us and specifically to be in mcmurtrie hang with us at the library hopefully get into the scoles we're going to do a special reception for her with the kids that are involved in thousand books we're having a big family activity that night with her i mean we are going to use her for everything that we get out of her those home yeah and you know what and she said to do and she is she's like keep me busy just tell me you know what and where and when and i'll be there just she wants to be busy and make it worth her time so i'm so excited so we're going to talk and about jackie until jackie gets here and then when jackie leaves the next month we'll probably talk about how much how fun it was to have jackie so that is coming that's march thirtieth it's a thursday night at six thirty we want to have a big showing for this national illustrator children's author and illustrator actually she were bright wrote an illustrated those books max the decorated these fun care i know they are they are they're so cute and they did i think i started mentioning they're hard to find right well these are one of the kohl's things yeah but i had to order that enclave there it came from france there are two thousand and seven these are ten years old but i found they have older i go on kohl's and they do have some older things on there now and then and i just went on today to see what they have and they have like corduroy that was this year's was it because i bought all the as they only have like eight things you don't have all these anymore scouting all kinds of stuff so we have pretty much on the easiest way is to get curious or sours through our library was just by joining the advisory council they meet once a month which is the first star the month at eleven you come and we talk about all the stuff that's suggested recently or in years past by the the visor council even servant serials that i didn't know that we were lacking in like different video games that we were outdated honor or whatever meaning and they you know because you guys know way more than i do of what kids are into and well yeah going on we get it from the public as well our love having recommendations and for that that age group you know i was going to make you know you have so much fun back there and it's such a great room it has so many things that the kids can do and you know i wonder if member back in the day that libraries were all about you know and you had to be really quiet and all you did was go in and do research or get a book and then that's it it is so far from that very like if they think that oh i don't want to be on the library council boy does that sound boring are you kidding me we're like the most fun area the youth services area in the library and it's a great experience then you get to be a part of the decision making that could last for a long time right knew that it could be your legacy yeah right and there are things that are in existence now that are results of  that said so and there is so much fun like to quote an awesome place to hang it as so many cool things as a very matter what your interests are we have something for you maybe we don't we're not offering something you want to know about that so this group the first about the all the time right so once a month i want it that's the commitment right once a month where we do ask if you become more involved you can come you know help out with different programs and stuff to oh sure so you know what i always thought of that you get hours so like recently that's not touring of like books right it's been very good i agree get in there and do it ok so well ahead you're starting to laugh and you already know what i'm going to say so when i was typing up our notes for this yesterday i printed out i realized what we wanted make sure i made the announcement that we are not going to be having women i was supposed to see this see you now i was hoping that you didn't notice your typo no i didn't notice it when know that's what i'm saying he said our little thing that we want to remind you that there's no chest in february so she retired spice up again because we just you know have our little highlight for the bullet points that we want to get and so i'm reading it and going through it and because i you know we write notes all over and everything and i get to that and it says no cheese in february so i'm reading that and i think that my first thing is  you know i was and i told c n n when i did notice it and i was going to if i would have had more time i just noticed it this morning because i get as you were be prepared before you know i was with what i have but i didn't you know like i don't read it verbatim before necessarily and when i got there i just started laughing i was going to go back in the kitchen ask lynn if she had and he cheese available she always has to bring you a slice of it it doesn't say there is cheese bring a a favorite so this book is actually from close to when i was a teen and i read it when it was new so but i w day and this is completely not about love but it is probably one of the funniest books i ever read in my entire life it's called i love you best cooper and it's been turned into a movie as well and it's about this kid issue going on and you know but anyways so he did not want to give your typical graduation speech or you sit up there and you tall your peers about some inspiring thing and how you're all going to do and so write all the stuff you don't want to say that what you do want to to stick up for that it shouldn't be that way well give her a chance the whole middle is right in the course of like i think a night or two days all kinds of crazy stuff happens after he made this announcement and also we have  beth's extremely large physically large boyfriend is on leave from the united states army so he's around for a moment and there's just going on and but my gosh so if you're looking for fun like and this is great for guys and girls because it's just it's hilarious yeah it isn't a our book is well if you need that but it's this is definitely written more for older middle school when our high school age kids are so yeah more and more  content but so far so funny so good a little bit of twist on a valentine's day selection with i love you but that's funny you know it makes me think of the book that you were talking you talked about last month where all the boys i love before yeah that she wrote all of these write love letters in her journal but never sent them just and somebody found them or somehow they got released to everybody so it leaves you very vulnerable and you know probably mortified and that cracks me up because there he is you know opening himself up right in front of three thousand people right oh my gosh that's crazy i know that it's so much fun such a good book it makes just talk about me soon read it again yeah it does you know what why don't we were just that picture of that paper for the prince award there it is this is again not a very good high quality it's not a high quality but i wanted to point out that that's the prince until i was looking at up america's i'm a little scared that you are a young adult where is that like a sequel would be yeah make a list when i looked it up i just assumed it was a title right and not a winner light sarah desson you are going to win if you like romance books as well you know what she won the two thousand and seventeen margaret a edwards award for lifetime achievement in writing for young adults so well that yeah i highlighted that i wanted to tell you that because you know what that made me think of is my daughter when she was in that age group i think she still does love sarah to us and you know she's so popular with young girls and lifetime achievement that is awesome in the
