library i am a shannon and i am miss linda and we are bringing you everything you need to know from your your library peter's touch a public library here from our couch to you comfortable today our set is no longer but we are now i don't know if they're building another one we're very casual so we decided if we're going to be comfortable we're going to wear pajamas so it works i live here thank you but you have mouse of course of course not a surprise and i've got my kent state i'm going to go see my daughter son epic kent of us will just drive up there like this that's why i asked if you're going to wear your pajamas to work because you're doing bodies in motion and then i'm leaving early to go see my daughter up a right all right so we don't have our globe we're getting adjusted to a new set and enjoying just sitting here in our pajamas but we are going to meet me half the episode i tell you that my juice huge and i mr juice box go in and i'm going to show you some cool things all right from around the world this is all my gosh i so love this this is there's a lot of times that i've shown like different libraries in here and left different where you are right tennessee and it says that the little description is oversized books and a story tree wait till they see this back and kids to come inside this libraries children's arena once inside they find oversized book shaped chairs books shape chairs how cool is that and in lots of cozy corner to cut up to curl up with a book and offer sense of programs to kids like creative writing book club twisting time yoga everything we do lego marin this is really cool that tell you what this reminds me of this is from sorry tows millennium library story toast california step under the larger than life book staff that is to ensure a truly awesome kid section can curl up with a book in the lighthouse perhaps in a read aloud session and check out the salt water aquarium and t rex fossil replica here for serious adult book worms pick into the old world reading room and it's not suitable for kids but this room with rare first editions of good job studies space and chandelier is this worth looking into when you happened to be without kids ok i'm going to show this one reminds me of the  museum right and also now me airport oh yeah that's right but the main library you can peek into the museum and see the dinosaurs from some of the puzzle that's true yeah that's true and now they have one so i don't know who's doing this  they have one like that at the at the pittsburgh airport so you walk in you know i've seen so many people put pictures of them in front of that on yeah i spoke well actually the big thing used to thing i thought this was oh which one do you think this one ok yeah i thought because it's kind of clean and simple this is from cheyenne wyoming laramie county library play area and this library is unlike any other between the large playground like area and the giant chess set the look on here on the children's floor kids who have trouble keeping still and quiet in libraries will have no problems here after the kids are all tired out stop by one of their daily themed story times we do that and drop into one of their classes baby music we do that vamp out paint this is really cute ok and i like the bookmobile so we'll have this so that everybody knows what we're talking is i like to see what these rooms look like when there's actually kids there because if we were to take a photograph of our place base it would look all like nice and organized and then after miss linda's program on a wednesday afternoon trash and i never know what to say you know you're right if there were like this christine no children in there and like i let you know if we stop and think about what we have i like our entryway like if you stop them from the lobby and everything oh yeah it's so nice and then you go into the children like the play area and it looks so nice with some new things that we have in there but after a program i mean there's times like you don't know what to say because to play they are and i walk through it and go wow there's a lot of fun happening in here today my nice way of saying wow but they're having fun so that's good ok that's in my library news around the globe maybe i'll show a couple more of lectern the next round so very funny ok well every year we do something for this because it's a love that the dr seuss's birthday read across america week is always the first week of march right to celebrate his birthday so i actually brought a friend seuss fan like every one of the child usually is make sure you stop in for that for an evening with dr seuss on march third at six thirty that will be fun and you're doing and yeah i like doing a dr seuss stuff we usually last year i did everything that revolving around country and it's for grades k i think they extend it to fifth grade this year maybe fourth i think it you speak a three and now is the fourth or fifth that have double checked i know what that makes sense it should be just a little bit older yeah stuff so we to get excited for this writing contest which is a huge thing and all the winners get to go to the station and tour the studio and have a really nice meal and the mr rogers studio and you can actually still see  they left like a portion of the set still painted you've seen it probably that so they can tour that yeah and see where all the shows are yeah that's my kids and they also they do have other cool prizes for them as well so really cool let us on a soda get as excited for that they do a lot of teachers in the school do actually use the writing program the writing contest so we're just kind of trying to get people motivated to do some writing and the some stories and stuff that previous winners because it's really crazy that these kids are the one kid wrote a story about tomatoes in outer space they came down the cafeteria and started taking over all the tomato products in the cafeteria i like it it was cute it was probably scary and the kid probably did it because he probably hates tomatoes yeah go do something that you're really afraid of and you go in and make it outer space is i'm glad they're doing it older i think that of the i think got to be really good which would be a good point to to say you know that was since we're on the w q e d subject of a talk about my wednesdays talk about what you're going to be doing coming up i mean we might as well just bring that up ok or like every wednesday throughout the year i mean i quit even putting dates on it every wednesday at noon we do a wild kratz episode and the kids love it it just has like built the kids in the programs before or that aren't bring their lunches and you stay and you watch a  know if that happens but we give them worksheets and different things to take home to color and to read regarding that topic right you know if it was you know whales or whatever it is but then you now we're going to add one more thing about your so that's during lunch time so like people that are in school and stuff can participate in that right in the school year right so we're going to do something in the evenings one evening a month will be the second thursday of the month at six thirty or going to do i you're not just sitting there watching t v because i don't i'm not for that right but we're you know we're adding all these extra things to it like but there are stuff there even if it's like i know you how you just said that like you don't want the kids just sitting there watching t v they're getting but right although doing to yourself the funny ice swear this is a truth this just happened on wednesday my one program was wrapping up it was time for wildcats to start and i'm just you know queuing up the video and everything and getting it ready  and all the sudden i heard this little in the background and i'm thinking i'm looking around like this little mouse thing and i'm looking at this as a mom and i'm this little girl like concerned of what was going on or here she we're kind of jumping on it's teen tech week so libraries across the across our country celebrate maybe even globally i don't know for sure but i know it's definitely a national thing because teens especially are living in such a technology like yeah the world i guess yeah it's all right yeah so we're going to do all kinds of things related to technology that we were going to do a special tour of our maker space because the teams  honestly know that's up there and that meter who is our like maker space guy is going to show them how to use the three d printer and they'll get a chance to actually make a bookmark a superhero bookmark using the three d printer i saw is that what he was practicing yes making those and even further back you know just because that tapes are going to come apart and we're going to make them into little mini notebooks so they'll be like this big yeah like a little journal or like a little thing to take notes and really see i can't wait to see that because when you came up with that idea and you off a minecraft group at the library that week because i loves the minecraft and we actually do have the game set up on all of our computers now so kids that have their own accounts can play starting now yeah we're going to have some accounts just for librar that's not a little weight when's easter a little closer to easter would be on her spring break and playing in her friend's play and i had no concept i still don't yeah it's kind of looked at a little bit but i still don't get it but they love it yeah kids love it and they love playing with each other like it is all kind of you know one of those things have to be really careful with because you can play a game against somebody in a whole nother country well that's why we're going to start a new group at the library where it's only for kids eighteen and under and it's only people that are connected to other to kids in the library system good the nice keep it a say area yeah but other stuff creeps me out a little bit never know ok here we go so after that we've been kind of going in going in order what's coming up why i finally have got boy i feel like a slacker girls book group coming up and we are reading rules i  lord i love the cover of this but i do too this in a kid and you know what's funny is that the now that i see it like a rubber duck on there remember when that big duck came to pittsburgh read briefly about it i love it with the goldfish two this is an award winner on the schneider family book award and the newberry honor but it's about twelve year old katherine just wants a normal life which is near impossible this is kind of sad and challenging and this i think this is could be a great you know great read for the kids near impossible when you have a brother with autism and a family that revolves around his disability you know  you just feel for but she spent years she's trying to teach her brother the rules you know to try to keep him from embarrassing situations and then all of a sudden she meets a guy and become you know in a new sort of friend and a new next door for a and then something happens and it forces her to ask what is normal so you don't know you know there's a lot of that you know a lot of autism and issues that you know to take a look at what the siblings go through as well and i think makes it makes the children very kids in this very empathetic i guess to what is going on and what they go through and maybe a sibling that does go through reads that and get something out of it too but i yeah the empathy they the story line in it's the reality yeah i know sarah yeah  yeah i'm looking forward to having this discussion yeah this is going to be monday march fourteenth it's six thirty so that's when our book group meets the third monday and this this month ok yeah hopefully it's a good turnout for that very good book so yeah it is and the girls are great and then coming up after that it's like boom boom boom then we have st patty's day you know it's misled she  march sixteenth i believe that's a thursday night yeah yeah and she yeah it's like at six thirty i want to say six thirty to like seven fifteen she does such a great job she's i mean we talk about her a lot on here but she's so creative she is a funny yeah yeah yeah so the kids if you have a you know the kids have a chance to come to something like that like st patrick's definitely shows us fun crafts and stories she does she's clever be fun i love it i always laugh and she's just so matter of fact about it i'm desperately looking up like you and i were like into pinterest and write all that she good ok so that's enough for miss lynn and st patty's day we love you miss lynn if you watch this and then we're trying to we just kind of put a little blurb in here about chess club yeah we're trying to build up a chess club for kids for kids people have asked right now we don't have any interest doctors for it so it's kind of like our lego club come in on that monday want to say that the but anyway the chess club is i thought it was the same the same night as as lego is but again trying to build up a club i've had a lot of kids ask if we've had chess club and we didn't so this  is the beginning effort i ordered all kinds of new books as you saw came through all about how to play chess i don't even thumb through them because i can play chess a little bit but i don't really know what i'm doing i don't know how to play and you know i'm i  don't really know what i'm doing so i i think this would be fun i would love for somebody to come forward that would love to come in and teach the children how to play you know would be perfect for like look at all these high school guys and girls an i chatted with like the common good and all into your project would volunteer project come in just once a month and teach or an adult out there that would like to teach the children how to play chess you know we can get this up and going we have chest sets we're all we're all set for it right now you just come in and play but hopefully we can find somebody that can help facilitate it right yeah yeah for sure ok so that was my chest club what do you have i'll let you talk books maybe i can get alone time all right and the time that the children would you know go out someplace safer away from the city and so will be in his older sister dodo are devastated to leave behind everything they've ever known but they slowly settle into their new life how to draw and how that she draws the characters and everything and when she was done she signed like her dad had a big easel and piece of paper signed it toward off and gave it to me i have it at the library i should probably frame it and hang it yeah yeah somewhere you know all that stuff by my desk it's in there it's a very we just talked about i love i love her and the author during krohn sees a pennsylvania native called the cut honors lives in new york oh it's funny they both live in brooklyn so anyway you can't beat that and i held on to it to be able to show it now i can't
