you all the information that you need to know about the township public library the children's department in particular right into your living room to your living room right before we talk about going on our library we like to make some connections of what's going actually comes from different places around the world i thought this article was so cold and a friend actually e mailed it to me and i won't even tell you where it's from but it is so cold that it's now my new bucket list i have to wear my glasses today this is eighteen libraries every book lover should visit in their lifetime it is really cool and not on their we should be i think our honorable mention honorable mention we definitely should be so what they are celebrating our monumental important buildings they've compiled a list of the most magnificent libraries on the planet so it's really based on what they look like not all the wonderful programming like we do you know if it was based on the programs and that kind of stuff we'd be number one ok they really didn't pick a number one or two or three but they did have the eighteen different ones so i can't wait to show you so as soon as i saw all these i thought it is possible to go around the world in and see different libraries when i go through the united states so when you go to places  library i like stopping in the library museums and i love zoos you know so i write on with it this is actually came out in january this january business insider this is  my library in austria look at that picture and then they talk about how of the paintings like the sistine chapel i hope and how did he work on that one and actually the ceilings were painted by point of divine revelation it's located in the foothills of the out the second largest library man asked three or monastery mastery library in the world i don't know this programs can be really good with my misspelling it's ok so that was austria a nice lover in austria ok moving on moving on now i have to say and i'm going to give equal time to the us because i did visit this one the new york station the train station in new york grand central station and you know what are my gosh yeah this is beautiful and that the picture is of the rose main reading room it stretches bissonnette unbelievable has forty two long tables for visitors to sit in guess what now do you think we have this many it has fifty three million items we might not be quite today we might be fifty two we're not i know that it's exactly all right let me just go through and i'll show you a couple were interesting ones like some of these were really bizarre this one i was surprised this is from baltimore well you know the george peabody library in baltimore maryland and i hope it's near d c so that makes sense yeah and i have i've been to baltimore i've not been to this library peabody library it was it was named after the philosopher and a politician and the book shelves look as if they're hovering in midair can you see that and you know what that is a giant whale skeleton hot that hangs right above it needs to i have to admit when i first looked at it before i was like reading it i would have thought dinosaurs well you know what because that made me think of our library exactly when you see the dinosaurs from the  library like there's in parts of the stocks of the ends there's like benches with big windows if you sit there you can look down into the museum and you can see the dinosaurs like hanging out down there yeah that's cool it was it could have been a look at that on the water this one the royal library of copenhagen copenhagen denmark it was actually scarily new it's really not that old one thousand nine hundred ninety nine and they call it the black diamond you know how dark it was yeah it was billed as an extension to the national library of denmark and it gets its name because that building is made out of polished black granite and all of the irregular angles and that so they call it a black diamond and the x terrier is only interrupted by a train made only class wow you know obviously it looks at it as a how incredible the space is full of light views of water just reading environment i look at that and go it at least according to our globe yeah that's funny yeah all right i'm sorry louisiana for your sinkhole it was distracting me oh right well that's what's going on around the world we also have going around in our country right now no day to celebrate the library coming up beginning of february national take your child to the library day w le national take your kid to work day we have i guess job done that i guess if i can you're doing it yeah we're going to have as much fun even more so than last year i mean everything that we do is fun but i haven't brought the flyer for it and they do really light fun things we had them last year was so successful they were so much fun we had a meet and greet afterwards and they were so kind they stayed and they were doing a craft with kid kids are really star struck by them because they just thought they were just really enjoy their performance and then barely the girls like i'm going to make you a picture like they just really enjoyed really good they also do take popular songs and do yeah exactly you know the tune and then they did the parody but they also have a lot of original songs too nice about bullying but also about being different and being special and yeah they're they're wonderful i think they are they're so child friendly just even in their personalities like for real right you know this is you know people do different things for shows there would like to believe there's genuine so that saturday february seventh we're going to have everything this year in our atrium because we are going to be really b just so we've been busy oh my gosh it's so busy that day but we'll have the craft we have a basket raffle like we did last year meet and greet cookie time with josh and gab we're just going to do it all in the lobby thought oh yeah don't miss it  actually we're both there on that day aren't we yes because the that's going on ok that it's a busy day that's also our magic tree house book club day we'll be talking about de the dragon king which has to do with they go back into historical china and so we're going to do some fun stuff with that one ties and right into chinese new year which is in february and also is eleven on that day is our youth advisory council meeting and we going to run everything it's a really great opportunity for any high school students or middle school students that are looking for some volunteer opportunities or some student leadership opportunity right outside of school or other organizations seven makes sense little bit different you kind of just expand upon i don't like us hovering to the now you know so it's going to be i think it'll be more of the programs to be more attended because if they knew what they wanted to do so because i could i mean i planned some really awesome stuff yeah you do i was going to there i feel that you know giving the giving the teens their own hold on it right so just that opportunity just to have a leadership you know opportunity it's really great to do it absolutely i'm glad you said that right now it's less of a commitment as to being you know like something you know a sport or whatever it's really neat once a month oh yeah that's a hey that's a plus yeah it really is that's a good idea so having kids in college i remember that application  process down what you've done everything helps an absolutely goal or ships i actually had a scholarship involving something like that so you know it's absolutely spent and besides they're helping out their public library right so it's also a community service exactly what i've just been leadership exactly so very good so february seventh from about ten til two is going to be very busy so make sure you plan ahead because parking maybe wow wait a minute i got my lights this pixar princess obvious obviously precious moments i have all the time i get that one sure you can have the area well now you have to write it to me ok ok well i'm glad you brought it up while you're doing that that's because you did you write anything on  it well the reason i'm asking is where you know we're having a big valentine's card and i'm already because i'm going to decorate i'm going to decorate our board here ok i thought of i actually thought about wearing it but you know i have one of those busy days set you know welcome you know minion related valentine's day to day activities which is going to be a riot because i even made sure that like you know they even have these mini movies yeah many minion movies oh say that fest taking care of the minion thing actually and it's interesting that valentine's day does fall on a saturday this year so thank you i'm just going to be that's durable we had we had a little girl and her  the sudden going to drop like to her name caroline and lorelai little lorelai was in yesterday and she had a heart sticker right on her head so i went up to her and i'm like you know she'd like to do the group hugs or little hug and i'm looking at her head and i like the heart on your head a little sweet and she was just all very proud they don't know if she you know i don't think she's like she's not in preschool or anything yet but apparently was something special so i would have to wear one on my head to because i'm under over five foot so some of them are all right anyway it's on valentine's day valentine's day happens to fall on a saturday and the party is off from one and two that's and everything that we say like to give you everybody a gentle reminder to please register yes we don't charge anything for these programs so you can thank and register you can register over the phone you know just give us a call or if you're stopping by but that really helps us more so with a head count to make bibliography about a theme so i chose first love and i know about first love and everything like that and i picked books about the first love and so i scour this one i read it and since then has been one of my favorite books and i've got it out of our girls to read it it's called when it happens and i just really like the characters and it goes back and forth between being by the divert the guys view and the girls and the girl like all issues wants to do is just to fall in love that she has kind of  writes a lot of books about romance for teens and they tend to go out constantly today and this one when i was reading about it kind of reminds me almost the modern day romeo juliet a family the mom does not like the family lives next door not shakespeare is a no no no the author know it's mainly about whether or not she should kind of keep this a secret santa thing that teens deal with every now and then you know what to do so they asked him not very well now college student don't keep it is you know it all works out it all works out if it's you know i'm in the old theory if it's meant to be you know right so but i think it isn't some good ones from my life next door and when it happens there's some good romances for the for valentine's you know you know how we've talked in here too that's cute too with the couple kissing on the front of behind the tree i like it ok well you know what i was going to talk to one of my favorite books i don't know how i ended up i remember reading it when i was little and when you know when you've really read things as an adult you know as you get older it is totally different and i remember liking it when i was younger but then i had our girls book group read this the little prince and a lot of yeah it's a classic i love the story back then and yet probably didn't understand really understand it but but probably enjoyed it just for the fantasy value of and when i interesting though i had the girls read it i was all excited thinking they have to you have to read this it's a classic it's a it's a wonderful story and honestly even at that age group it's usually like third through sixth grade is is right as my group didn't like it didn't care for it and and i'm thinking it's because of what i went through to you well i didn't say that i didn't like it see i did like it but i probably didn't understand it and we had the discussions and everything afterwards you know after they read it but it wasn't at all  their like listening but i told them my story about rereading it as i got older and liked it and understood it better so that happens with a lot of the haven't of me the great gatsby i didn't understand it so much in high school or enjoyed it a ll right i read it as in college right i loved it well your mind your mind set is you know it is all right you're somewhere different so having you know talked about that i was very excited to see and i wonder you know sometimes when you  read biographies of the author or are different people you understand where they were coming from one they wrote it so when this one we got this one in i was excited because this is a biography of the author and you know what anton i want to say anton because saying it song to exist i was never good at saying his last name but i you know i could spell it and i know it but i just thought and it helps you understand and you know when it doesn't matter the age i mean i enjoy right joy it you know i know it's good for the younger elementary to really get it but i enjoy them as well so you can come and take a look at just got another  having said that i did bring another one i'm not going to reach down and pull it out but it's the the biography in that kind of in this format on roget that who wrote the song oh yeah actually has a and i read this book and i found it really fascinating because i never really thought about it like oh yeah that i had to come i saw that he had and how he was so young and so into words  how amazing a conversation with him would be i'd have to stop and say wait let me look that up amazing it's call how a kid can be so into the words and then out comes a thesaurus remember like in elementary school grabbed because it looked i liked the fact that it was red and pink because i was going to say i said it looks valentine but it's got a length of the ride and it's about this girl and she has to go and live with her dad and his new wife and their new baby for the summer she's not looking forward to that and she never kind of should really wasn't paid attention to much as a kid because her parents divorced her mom was working her dad was gone those right kind of situation so she never learned how to ride a bicycle and she goes and she meets this boy and he's this big like bike rider i don't know if it's a b m x bike ride or what he does because of a just right that might be like to ride bikes and so he kind of teaches her how to ride a bike but he also teaches her a lot about what's what else she's missed  liked which got me into hunger games and got me and you know all of the other robot and books but yes you're right she's clean and good and good good sweet romance right and like that  we've read last month called criss cross that she actually and when talk about this again another time that she you know newbury for and while this is probably the first time or one of the few times that i have them read the two that you know to go together like that i like so much to mix it up but i wanted them to compare you know and talk about the storyline and i'm really interested to  hear at this time when we meet that good second monday of the month six o'clock i'm really interested to hear what they say about this because you know what all of the girls have a big group maybe even just a couple even liked
