township public library i made it out and i missed linda and the purpose of book buzz bringing you information about our library into your living room so i've tried a lot of times to change that little line haven't i been i don't know control room can hear this i got that memory too and it was both of us sitting at our remember our old head a little flower things here we look so finding kid friendly and i just want you to know i really miss that i do i thought that  adorable and so cute even though towards the end it was falling apart we could live with it you know i understand and there's not a lot of room to i guess have our own set but i like what her do you so it's comfortable anyways  well ok we'll just have to bring more dolls around maybe we'll just bring stuffed animals and yeah or in our train set yeah about the importance of libraries in the misconceptions that people have this time i'm going to talk about literacy statistics because it is this it's staggering it's so surprising on i just was reading this and you know what this came from i was kind of looking up i wanted to know it was actually for one of my reports at school and i wanted to know how many people how many people in the u s can can or cannot read ok and so i went on you know yes i googled it and of course when you google things you still have to go through it because it's not always the truth it always comes out you have to really well you have to look through your pastor especially don't know that it's not the first things that come up doesn't mean that they're right but anyway but this is such an interesting website it's called statistic brain statistic brain dot com and my google my search was number of american adults who can't read what i wanted to know so that's interesting and they have all kinds of you know i over here there's all kinds of other statue can look up but anyway to listen to this this is the u s a literacy statistics and this is scary because what we want you don't want to be like this ok and then i have this little line that they wrote down i'm going to tell you afterwards but ok so percent of us adults who can't read or it's like below very basic it's fourteen percent and at first it doesn't seem high but it should be everybody should be able to read yes you know and hopefully a  basic level of basic is never number of us adult the number of u s adults adults who can't read thirty two million this is unbelievable per cent of prison inmates who can't read so don't go to prison you don't know won't learn to read seventy percent of prison inmates cannot read that's unbelievable yeah you know you just wonder if some of this is the source  of peters township or we're fortunate or around our immediate area ok the percent of high school graduates who can't read what do you think or you saw it ten i don't see it percent of classes and this is and that's and that you get imagine not being able to be up here and not be able to read yeah who you know how did they graduate present of high school graduates who can't read and again that might their grades are whatever ok we're reading level of us adults the percentage of us adults that read on a proficiency level which is probably like genius  very up there thirteen percent only thirty percent of us adults read at a proficiency level intermediate level forty four percent says about have a majority a basic twenty nine percent low basic fourteen percent likely it's said before ok now this is interesting and this makes me sad you know i you know the different cultures that have you know the different demographics of adults who read below a basic level hispanic forty one percent black twenty four percent white nine percent other thirteen percent you know you just don't want to hear that it needs to be you know like libraries are equal opportunity and everybody here in the u s should have equal opportunity to an education and be able to learn how to read ok what discover a couple of these this is globally now and you're going to see how good we are globally the number of people worldwide who can't read seven hundred seventy five million percent oh i don't like this percentage ladies listen up yeah because then i'll go quickly just some of these ones that like south sudan illiteracy rate seventy three percent mali seventy two point three zero afghanistan seventy one point nine percent of illiteracy ethiopia sixty one percent chad sixty four point six percent i mean on believable but of course the high percentages are like in the third world countries that are that don't have access to good education like we do so i came up with this little thing is that it's kind of telling my age a little kind of maybe maybe i just read it somewhere i never hear of them would like what ever happened to them they're called the seekers and their song and i'll bet you'll know the song i'd like to teach the world to sing yes remember that and they used to for coke commercial and i mean coca cola well then i started thinking i started getting all sentimental about reading these statistics it was horrible and i'm writing a paper about all of this and i said i'd like to teach the world to read so i'm going to make up a new song and i'm just saying to go around the world and think world and sing it and teach the world to read enrolled to read this is actually kind of goes along with that the theme for some reading is build a better better world and we know we're going to work by trying to fix our equired or on our globe yes we're going to start there and we have a better world you know since we have quiet you know  all the climate issues and stuff and the equator coming off we've got a lot of work to do but you know that it could go in different that are actually going to shoes talking about all the issues that we have you know across the globe with the litter se so that's that's part of it and we're talking about physically building and you know building character and all those types of things so right that is our theme for the summer and i'm really excited about it and i just like the overall message yeah lot of it and you know what it's interesting is i'm still kind of working my thought process for my age groups that i do because we all have our own the age groups that we do because summers and tents and and lynn of course has hers together in for her group she's going the recycling route you know she's going to be doing you know how to make the earth better with all the recycling and things which is one way to take it i mean there are so many ways to take this you know so that it at first when we heard it we were like you know what we're really sure about it but then the more we thought about it it's we can go many ways and it's going to be a lot of know not to sound political because i'm not but you know now more than ever we need to build a better world that's not political yeah we're worried they're going to get everybody up or at least just the library i was and i favor that was i heard about that they did that whole video and everything i was in kindergarten at the time where you and i thought it said here the world and not heal the world so ok there's a video of me as a  that's cute but i'm glad you it was like what was that song that had all all those famous people get we need that now absolutely always but yes now oh so anyway we talked about why we're wearing the shirts right so lots of the details  it yeah maybe but whatever but whatever worst they're kicked off is june tenth make sure you

will be coming up next to me and oh my gosh in the summer this is what scares me the sad thing is  that summer goes like that you know and when we're working so hard and doing all that there's been times like at the end of last summer with everything going on summer was over and i went i didn't even other than that we love our jobs we enjoy what we do thank god i didn't really get to enjoy summer yeah i don't mean to because i was also moving during the yeah right now you don't get to slow yes about slowing down and go to a pool or meet a celebrity so every body has a celebrity in their mind that they would like to spend a weekend with most people do i don't know i like to guess to your city have a couple so how much harder is the celebrity and he is a young world famous lead actor of the hit television show whiz kids he's a favorite of the tabloids and the paparazzi who take notice of every move who is he dating who are his friends everyone wishes they could be him or at least get close enough for a self discover that the star they love isn't the picture perfect person they've seen on t v cash carter has secrets big ones that no one else knows about and they might just tear his image apart so it's like every other famous person every one on it he writes the feel good books that when you read them there's a message in there about how telling good about yourself this one's called happy dreamer in this boy goes and talks about you know in his head that he's got all these dreams and sometimes his dreams are louder sometimes his dreams are all like all over the place and he's a happy dream are dreaming big dreams creative dreams sometimes the world tells me to sit still be quiet pay attention focus but my dreams have a mind of their own sometimes my mind just takes flight and i hear a beat and i gotta move and then i hear another and another so it goes through and talks about the importance of dreaming and he says sometimes i'm a quiet dreamer like the pitcher's yeah the oh yeah and i like how you know the the text flow yeah like how the seat would get that one if you can get that something or i'm sing alone and boxed in and yet i always find a way back plugging into amazing delightful happy dreams i'm really good at being me a dreamer surprising caring funny gentle smart and when i tumble back to earth i know i'm ok dreamers have a way a bounce back and moving forward here this is going to be so cool there are so many ways to be a happy dream or what kind of dreamer are you and then this whole thing opens up and it gives like lots of examples yardwork happy nature happy alone happy power dreamer love dreamer and all these different you know dizzy happy all these things to everything that he does it just makes you feel good about yourself laugh happy fear streamer and then i'm just going to all right i'm going to be what do they call that when you're given the ending boiler ok yet thank you spoiler alert because i have to read this i love that lasting but the best way to be a happy dream or just be you which is why this book is dedicated to you yes you  like his messages are there not just for kids oh no never this would be something this would be a nice gift for an adult that might be having a tough time right you know i love giving books and so to you and we like write in them and stuff is a good thing yeah hopefully years old and i've talked about it years ago on the show but i love it so much that i decided it was good to bring it up again it's called fan girl speaking of fan fiction that's kind of i got that in my mind it's about this girl and she writes fan fiction she obsessed with this character simon snow who's kind of like an equivalent of a harry potter character and so she writes fan fiction she really just gets sucked into this world but it's a really cute story of how she has to learn how to kind of let go of the fan world and really yeah i live in the real world and this book was so successful and people loved it so much that rainbow where all who wrote this book actually wrote published what would have been the great if you're john green fan right lots of fun so those are just some oldies but goodies that i wanted to re out there hey nothing wrong with that we had a more coming up bring back those reads all right i couldn't resist this hasn't even been i haven't even sent it to tech yet we are all wonders r j the one who wrote wonder right one of my favorite favorite and favorite favorite books i am surprised on how much i mean it's just so memorable yeah reading it if you haven't read it as a child or an adult you know for example he did she did this in a simple way that wonder as a fiction chapter book this is going to be like wonder but only in the picture book so this is augie coleman so he's the one that the book is about and he's got facial deformities and starts out that i just don't look ordinary i don't look like other kids so this is going to help introduce the kids to what it's like to be like an odd position that hurts my feelings it hurts days these feelings too and you go through and i think that this is the perfect book to help introduce your child to differences big differences i know i can't change the way i look but just may maybe just maybe people can change the way they see and this was always my favorite that motto was choose kind you know when the world asks you something it was like something like to be right  because you know people don't realize how and it's seen as an adult i go through this how much words and actions that others do can really hurt can be really hurtful you know kids go through it and want but i think i don't i think people go through it forever and it's wild they forget that especially kids they forget that other kids are kids right like i always loved it in reading wonder he says i do ordinary things i write a bike i eat ice cream i play ball right you know see a look at him  and go oh well you know right so that's a good note and i don't know that they feel good yeah i don't know they made it into a picture so that i yeah i was real excited to get it so we have a couple copies of it now so always come after school second and fourth friday first national hours it is like the thing oh yeah they love it it's all it's so rooms always full of kids play and when they come in they come in expecting you know where is it is it going on is what's happening a really into it yeah i was never really no no it was never a big into the video i don't really get that game but because i love it so i don't let other kids i don't know that's going on that are fans of the game just to know that we are
