a shannon and i'm a slimmed down we're here to bring you everything that you need to know about the children's department the young adult department at the peterson's a public library right into your living room and we're actually america today we're at the library whe she is partnering with us to do a thousand books before kindergarten and guess what i counted how many are participating so far  sixty three wow we have all excited three people registered and keep in mind those are all children that are under kindergarten age well no not necessarily well yeah because that right before kindergarten right in there not what's really cool if they're not all babies right that some of the people are thinking about it and catching on like i had little braden his mom just signed him up today and braden is three yeah so he's not quite four and he signed up i actually have a kid the sibling of one of our regulars who is going to kindergarten in the fall and his nanny said we're going to try to do thousand books that really is not off that is really and the kids are all about it they're like we're behind it because they've been coloring in their charter we're behind this books today believe it i guess you figured out how many books they had to read a day in order for him to be able to do it since i mean and we're talking months now really and they're they're close really already turning like three hundred so far really i don't know though that there are so couple  months left yeah before school before kindergarten well this is a book this is one of jackie's most famous books called fact we love her and her enthusiasm has been great because of her  allowing us to use her character and the some of our on our different published for the kind of things it's being very successful so i just want to say one more thing of this with the sixty three people get to everybody or get your very own one thousand books before kindergarten peter such a public library folder wh this could be another collector's item and what i like about it so yeah i like stuff sometimes sometimes it's too much stuff but but you get all of these things inside that we want to help them get started right right like suggested book list we also give them the tracking the book trackers so that they can keep track of what they're reading and then yet how much you're reading then they sign it they bring it back and then they get a some odd reason i might have forgotten some but we put their pictures up on the wall on our thousand books wall of fame right yes it is i can i just put grades picture today so i can't wait to get him up there and  there you go so what i thought like when i'm given out those tickets when they bring in they get a ticket for when they check out a book and they get five tickets when they bring in their review of the box and they're all doing it and i know that they have to be reading it now we don't i think we should just keep it here all the rest of the time see that's my bit of magic actually we are having a really good magician coming and he's going to be a lot of fun his name is gregory rocco and he think i came up with that off the top of my head that's good that i'm not too out of it and we're getting there two o'clock he asked me great we're going to have him right here in the lobby right in front of all of this stuff lots of chairs make every book in the library disappear home with that magicians that just coincidentally it is actually this one is about jack and i have to save it for new magicians from an evil sorcerer who wants to steal their secrets they travel back in time to eight hundred eighty nine the world's fair in paris really ye wednesdays and then once a month we do a night with a big idea where we watch a program and do different things involving that show the daniel tiger is coming i want to make it up because i think there's been confusion there as daniel tiger good and you know what i was looking at all these folks parse them all i think my favorite title you game person i like to play board games do you like monopoly i haven't played those in a long time it's always like playing that we would always do but the kids and i we would always do friday night at home until i started having something better to do i said i imagine that something better to do than staying home with your family and playing games i can't imagine but i know they were i like that it was it was fun while it lasted but have you ever learned how to play chess or do you know much about it no i don't really know how to play chess at all don't go the end in the staking me kno want to play checkers you're in trouble you don't say that in chess you don't say i don't know what you say checkmate that's it checkmate that's right you're supposed to go you know you get the get the push the king off now i was never i had learned a long time ago how to play i was never good at it i think it takes a lot of focus which i don't have and concentration try to do strategies and really thinking i know the basics of it as my fact it was about five because about five years ago i went to this family thing and there was a guy there with the head at a chessboard and he said anybody like to play chess i said here's me i know how i got away i got to play i said i just haven't played in a long time but i can play so he kind of looked at me and i thought oh my god my in trouble so we put out the board in it lay it out i wasn't sure how he set it all up and everything and all i could remember and this is like i can't remember what i had for dinner last night but i could remember like how some of the pieces moved and stuff and if i got a little confused  ok this one goes like this he would remind me i beat him wow i beat him and i had no rhyme or reason the how to do your anything and he or he's not proud of me and he was like he he didn't take it gracefully like i was like what is that minnesota fast for you what is the called when you when you play something and you act like you're you can't play but you really can hustle kind of like that is another word for it too but yeah like i was hustling him but there wasn't any money on the line or anything so i don't really remember there should have been there should have been well  supervise but nobody to really train or help them out so i tried finding somebody as a matter of fact kelsey our director over there i even called the over at the high school and talked to the woman that was in charge of the chess club and she said oh yeah and i'm sure just like how crazy you know the school year was we didn't come up with one and then answered my prayer but i have to tell you something that's been in the back of my head and i i would never say this to him ok but you're going to say on television i'm going to yeah but i'm going to say it on here just because i know not what i say  she came in and and was real nice g s me about it she said would you know were you looking for anybody you know that maybe could how or teach chess but because it's all we have a chess club i was like oh my gosh yes and she gives me husbands card and i was all excited i'm like ok i'm going to call him i promise i want to call and then you know our summer reading program kicked off got to perform and then all the stuff and the next thing i know she came back and she looked and she said have you called him are you going to call him you said you wanted to oh my gosh i said i still have his card i'm going to call him i will i just got sidetracked i'm real excited about this but i wanted to get him which i did before the before the next chess club so she left then i want to say two days later remember when agnew and that guy came in you know he came down he was up stairs he was in one of the reference rooms and he came in and introduced himself and it was him now here's my only problem he's wonderful things like a nice guy great personality he is his name is peter the disc of his last initials he's a champion he plays he plays chess and he's won like championships and trophies and everything but because of the fact it's not a how you know he kind i think he's kind of retired and he's a consultant so he does that so he'd be doing this on the side of the business of his heart but i just want to laugh when he she's like you know are you going to take them or you  could call him call so we did so anyway that starts up with a long story but just because i thought i hope that that i'm really wrong she doesn't want to mouth of the house at all that the next one is going to be tuesday july nineteenth six i just thought of it and i know you know i don't like to talk to happen and it's very limited as far as the numbers that can sign up yeah because there is one me and and we want to have so many tests boards well i'm not even that it's like because i'll be five games going on and then we'll take it from there if he wants more we'll do that then or less ok sounds good to me all right all right the little book club this one that would have gone on it's me again thought ok i'll hold that thought but that's kind of funny because i thought my third second it's our graters are not going to want to read that ok we have started we have a new book club this summer we are on the letter mysteries and i know my alphabet i started with and now we're on the and it is called the bald bandit ok so that's coming up that's the sixteenth as well that's going to be a really busy day and i have a to z mysteries and i have the girl book club and because the theme is pham or her sports all summer i pick sporty kinds of  books and this one's called the kicks win or lose so it's a fun girls book about girls soccer yes i think the girls are going to like that and that's on the sixteenth so we have a busy girls book club and  reading the first book in the selections series by cura cast the selections and yeah you know what mysteries that really popular for a couple years this is the first book and i decided to start you know is an older it's a couple years old and i beautiful dresses and i just finished i was actually listening to it like i did and this series is awesome i cannot really to read the second book and i find that about it i think we'll see there's like five but i think really originally a trilogies i'm not quite sure i haven't researched ok i'm just curious but i was going to get three yeah you know just the typical for this and so but one mom actually described it to me as neuroma meet the hunger games and i was like really i like that that works it's like a really really bizarre twist to like the bachelorette which i didn't like shows like that this is so fun it's it takes place post world war three and the caste system has returned and all these everybody that lives in this country has like a number and the bases are cast so if they're one they're royalty there the king the queen whatever and then the lower the numbers are those are like the servants are like a six is like a like and over and these girls thirty five girls are chosen at random doesn't matter what caste they are to go and live in the palace to try to win the heart of the prince because the prince needs to pick a bride and so they're all done up in that and they sound like the bachelor does something like that i don't like him either but that's you know but it's like it's like a really weird twist on that and so this girl that well one thing is when however long you're in the palace you do get sent home for longer in the palace your family is compensated for you to be in there and so merica you want to keep going on and on a four to five so she's more  lower class to her family definitely struggles with money so she wants to be there only for the purpose of money she has no interest in marrying the prince she doesn't like she actually is in love with somebody else that he's a six so he's below her s that's like a big no no for her to be involved with him because number one cracks me i know what it is yeah and so it's i got it back there and i went out there maybe what she thought she wanted all along is not what she is that something like you know how because we just have a little bit of time left so we can just finish talking about that is you know how like a lot of adults are reading the young adult books now and this is one adults was like that's what i was just going to ask yup you know because they are they're coming in and at first there's actually a mom in particular i'm thinking of that does read i am going to recommend the c r u yeah i love it i mean i love that that they're kind of crossing over behind them for they were they would come in and go time i read y e books and we're like well yeah you're not the only one right good for you grandson and they make a lot a good book yeah you know there's a lot of good books and why a of course and we have them all
