every two months oh i don't know i was getting i was confusing myself i was second guessing myself because i assume two times a month yeah but i see what you're saying to guess what i d a google even as librarians did it me it means both it can be either one depending on how you use it and they said a lot of like literary like publications and magazines you know that all say we come up by monthly and they mean every two months vary by monthly can mean like a we get paid by monthly it better be twice a month and ok so i was looking that up this is serious ok and i was thinking oh well maybe i'll say you know bringing you to services information to you by monthly and then i thought that's when i looked it up and they i look for another word for it so here what if i said i am a slow and upbringing youth get to see a new show ok but then i decided i'm going to get rid of that part of it so things scratched we're down to bringing you services information to you perfect ok all right i thought you'd have a la but you know how we do library news about around the world then i was thinking little bits from around the world and a cute little bit sure but it is more library news what all right here i'll compromise i did the new tagline thing very news around the world ok all right you writing this deals with the united states ok ok recently like last week was it last week because it's only thursday they had all those big exec yeah and this session we're going to do new there the newberry and the reason i chose to do the menu berry first is because it was the first it was the first medal ever given out for literature it was john newbery  little johnny and yeah you got it as a literary award and it's given by the association for library services to children and it's given to most to say distinguished by contributor to children's literature and the first one thousand nine hundred twenty one was when it's given out so i decided to look at all the books that have been given out so since nineteen so it started with the at all these pages oh that's a long many years that why well then i have something else that kind of disturbed me in and figure out ok so i wanted to show you what the very first newbery winner   when i pulled it and looked at it i had not i've not read this either and i was kind of like going through it you know from medieval to the french revolution sure i've been trying to read through them have you oh yeah i like that was part of my crew took children's literature in college we had to read and that was intense because we had to read a ton books a week and it too had to be the fact that you said that i think i varied out a ok whatever so here's you said that you know when you have to read the whipping boy what is it the whipping boy ok who's up i said you know you'll read books and you don't like them you know and that's a likely reason nobody is perry right let me tell you there was a bit of controversy and this was as recent as in october two thousand and eight about the newbery and how they're picked you know the pick by a group of people i mean it's an intense process that i highlighted but i'm not going to go through it my highlights but what i do want to tell you is because exactly what you said in october two thousand and eight there was a woman anita silvey she was a children's literary expert published an article in the school library journal criticizing the committee for choosing books that are too difficult for children because these are supposed to be books for children and so it goes on to say they the newbery committee had a com back you know that it's about literary quality and even asked how many adults have read all the pulitzer prize winning books and liked everyone so ok very fair so they did a study they did a study where they let the kids choose for themselves the books and then  the books that the parents would pick ok adults pick the four and there was only a five percent overlap which means the kids weren't reading all of the stuff that the red dots were picking out which would that john beach that did this survey ok he said he stated that the newbury ok i don't write this has probably done far more to turn kids off to reading than any other book award in children's publishing and in another woman she responded that for starters the real reasons kids don't read doesn't have anything to do with the newbery medal if this is her reply or any award it has to do with the declining role of the book in our streaming media culture with so she socio economic realities so i did give both sides of it yes you know interesting it is interesting so you're not always going to like what you read it's it's all in the mind of the judges to write you know they they're writing more about the content and the like the writing style i always tell the kids to for their own understand the newbery is given to a book for the words and the either the third or the fourth and they love it and we've talked about it before we met if mentioned it last time too that josh you know express that now this is become a tradition for am and we bring the kids the families into the library we do all kinds of fun stuff with them while cookie reception with josh and gab a show they're going to perform at noon we'll have crafts and it's just a great way to just come in and enjoy your library it's so much fun ye bring your child to the library yes ok and see joshing gap and get free cookies because we're going to cookie reception and who turns cookies down i don't know all right so last month we talked about clifford and because of certain circumstances we had to actually reschedule clifford so i'm here to talk about clifford going on another time so instead of having him in january when i will be having clifford on thursday feb a clip for a show and since it's also close to valentine's we're going house and special valentine's treats with clifford as well so lots of fun with clifford on the night yeah that you know what and that's that's a nice way to celebrate valentine's  that we talked about valentine's day and you gave me a valentine oh you i have one for you to look how i did the day i made i haven't made a valentine in a while probably last year well i make them like my kids are like young adults you know the younger one is still to send them off and they roll their eyes in the back of their head but they love it i think ok so here's here's yours ok open it up i even made more he said the phone was so little i drew a little heart because i couldn't really cut it and then i thought i couldn't get it i guess i'm not good with the line and this one says happy valentine's day to ms linda really cool if i can find make papers we are doing maker i'm down excited about it we talked about it last time and i said oh just imagine them because i always always forget to like bring something trying to remember and this time i remembered because this is the one this is what we're going to work with next time and it's this is an ozone bot they're so cute and there really i always have a hard time getting and you can get on ozo bought and print all kinds of things out like we did for the or you can make your own the problem with making your own is you just have to make sure it's super thick line right and egos so he's following the lines yeah see if it makes it over and i did not see if we can get it to see those are commands that made it spin and change colors wasn't maybe a minute stop to well anyway so what's the matter with you well you get the gist so we played with these actually the first time with the kids right then this week we did make you make these we're going to go back to o's zero bots on the what are we the second second and fourth mondays and the kids are coming over from there it's for tweens you know gearing it towards mcmurry aged kids and so we're going to work with and i'm going to have them mak program their own that's awesome yeah we've been playing around on this and then we've been playing around with this one and sometimes there you go you know wh it's it's probably because i have it in this plastic thing it would keep going so i don't put it in a page protector and do it but i'm going to have them make their own so there's an i was a bot if you've never seen the littlest thing and you can make it do really cool thing there are actually reasons why for her not heard about it but then since then since we board it i've noticed a lot of other teens are reading it too you know that survival story this is about this guy and he  is away for the weekend for work and then to use twitter fifty miles from home and then he just starts to realize that things are not exactly what they should be his car breaks down and he finds out the whole country is power is off the grid there's no power  no running water no internet what would we do you know and no way for any kind of normalcy restored like they're just like at a standstill what's going to happen and so he he's a survival or the like so he's a survivalist already he's got his backpack he's got his rifle and he is but he's not the only one left in the world is no i don't think so knows how to get home he's trying to get home but then all this stuff happen home there's a whole so there's a bunch of them that's a whole series and i
