and i miss linda and we are back again to bring all the news and everything you need to know by our library peters township public library into your living room into your living room did i say that ok yes that's our that set phrase all right and  news from around the globe with missile and us so little likes that we want find some random tidbit of information to share with us and just to the viewers know everything that linda and i say to each other we usually don't know what we're going to say but don't ever know what article she has pulled out tonight or isn't all the element of surprise yeah it's all you never know what we're going to alright so actually this one is that one particular country it deals with everybody and everybody can use this and it's i just like it because it just hits home all right ok this is out of the huffington post and actually this was dated april april of last year then they updated it and i was looking at this and i absolutely love it the article it's called five good reasons to take your kids to the library today and you know how we just had to take your kids to the library day right day there's a national one i and you know what i want to say right now they should be no brainers you know you feel like you don't have to say this but i think they're nice gentle reminders yes ok so would you believe regular library visits and evidently lead to more reading does that shock you no good but i mean no it's pointed out it is good to point out because it's it's more than just running in you know all even with all of our programming because they refer and i was saying you know the best place you can take your kid is the library yeah i was telling the different stuff that we've been doing and i go i know you do all those kinds and exactly do you know you know we still get that oh yeah we do so much that it's unbelievable people don't realize you know and it's constantly changing as we talk about a lot in here because you know libraries are evolving to keep up with the times ok so we know what age some brain development everybody wants  smart child right ok when you visit the library you can expose your children to more books and magazines than you can afford to buy i want to go like the right the most beautiful free thing that we right now that is consider you know they always say there's no such thing as a free lunch but the library is free you know you borrow books you borrow d v d s you borrow magazines like they're saying and you return i mean you don't get done spend a nickel on renting them it is it is and even as angry as people get about that if you take a look at it and go you know it's still the best value in town ok here's here's something that deals with us your local children's librarian can recommend books that you may not know of or think of to suggest in them broadening their tastes and expanding their minds and vocabulary how many times up of a bully on a daily basis do we get at really teens are doing that too right and well yes and especially with knowledge we're in the school year and now again towards the end of the school year with the like the accelerator yeah and things like that they want to make sure they get those  points i have a lot of parents will come in because their kids are so busy teens i'm talking about ok you know they have all these sports and stuff and really i need to focus on my kid know one thing it is pretty difficult in my opinion to pick a book for somebody else no matter who it is i agree sports and the boys are like yeah you know it's that iraq or and you're like ok so yeah absolutely so that's our job high five it because we rocket that oh i love this one because again this goes this goes to the point that we have busy we are and how many things we do library time is active not passive how do you like that it says will make and this is something worth explaining because it says maybe in your mind the library librarians and with other kids don't we know it because if you don't come into our children's department that we talk about it that's not and that also most libraries like we do offer regular children's programs that make stories come to life we work hard on that we work really hard to have nice reading programs so that they're doing a lot of fun things and they walk away understanding and get it sure and the last one  this is a good last one i get this question often not on a daily basis and i bet you do too is how old does my child have to be to have their own library card they don't have an age on it right and they're saying in here that the having a child have a library card is one of the best things at an early age just for the fact of getting them to feel respons know so you're building on responsibility ok this is your card don't lose it now any of the stuff that you check out on your card you know member you don't you know you don't want to lose and put them in a special place and we're going to take care of them and know it just starts building a sense of responsibility and i think yeah because i tell the parents you know it's up to you what age you want them to have we've seen ages that have babies that have cards yeah yeah but you know whatever whatever because ultimately it is the parents responsibility but and i think got a nice way for getting my first library card and it's exciting oh yeah it when the kids do when they come in there have the kids  and absolutely yeah it makes them feel a little bit more on up yeah exactly ok so that's why not what you like but i did like it very cool thank you i thought so ok well going that was more global  go state wide right so every year pennsylvania chooses one bulb we had an initiative called the p a one book every child right and the basis of it is that a committee to does this book and believes that every child in pennsylvania should be exposed to this book for whatever reason right and so we have the new book this we just got it actually works i know that but we're really more excited because they've been doing this initiative for what ten years yep and we 're going to be celebrating the ten year anniversary in our library and we are even it welcoming will hillenbrand who is a famous children's author we're going to come to our library he's going i'm going to set up cute little nose and also you know what i love the bright colors because the kids love the bright colors and did i not that i wasn't paying attention but we have a lot to say about this did you mention he's going to be reading one of his stories right i don't know if i mention that  yes he will be reading like yeah so how did you know what even if you did it's good to say gam because that's really cool to have a children's author as famous as he is coming and reading and then he'll do question and answer and answer and they were to have a meet and greet where you can always really cool to see the questions that kids come up with and so please bring your children yeah if at all i think is like even if they're an older child or even a teen that's interested in writing yeah like this would be awesome chance to get to meet a real true you know successful author yeah it's a free program of course oh right a like well yeah i know and you know what here i'm with a feast can i put these down for a second and then i want to show because this makes it really cool too because in two thousand and ten this was the pennsylvania one book it was by him called what a treasure this is the book that one for you know the initiative that they're trying to get everybody in pennsylvania to read the same every child to read the same book and we're going to be doing this during our story i'm going to show that when we come down to national library week but he won and we get him right it is just so cool because only has been around what we say ten years or so only ten authors have ever been awarded

wednesday well actually it's you know it's almost not embarrassing to say but cold to say that it's a it was a very simple program but it's a program that's so loved you know and  sometimes the most simple things are can be the best right you know it doesn't it doesn't take a lot of effort in a lot of stuff to do absolutely everything we did in the summer while crap wednesdays and it was so successful when well actually wasn't even wild crowd wednesdays then we just did like i did a series of it's got clever and did while crap wednesdays so they would the children bring in a bag lunch just sit in our multipurpose room on the carpet as we show the newest edition of wild crap that we could get or you know any addition because the kids just love it it doesn't matter and they enjoy that while they're having lunch watching wildcats on the big screen and then walking away with a worksheet and again yeah q if there  so wonderfully kind of the stickers that we get and i had to and all kinds of stuff so anyway it was sussex s bowl when it was done i think i did one round of it in the fall with the wild crab wednesdays and i actually had moms come up and say why are you doing that anymore and i went oh that would be a good question for me to ponder that's what's right and i'm like you know what we're always open for ideas you know and we try to do what we can within our means of time and scheduling and all that and i didn't have a reason so i went back to it and then this black yeah in march the whole all of march was wild c wednesdays and then i decided to take it for other because there's only so many episodes and also to broaden their horizons we went into more i'm calling it wildlife wednesdays so that i  like yeah so we there we're going to watch something

they're dealing with typical things that teenagers do what they're dealing with basketball season because they're both still stars girls and the unfortunate failing health of their father who's a formal basketball player so it goes back and forth between being in their perspectives but it's all written in verse with and like that gives young readers a really cool to bring into the classroom
