public library i am a shannon and i miss linda and we are here to bring everything that you need to know about the peter strong to public library children's department and young adult apartment right into your living room and yes we are time what do you want to know everything right ok before i get into i just i'm going to do a flashback because it's drawbacks thursday yeah sure ok is yet so far throwback thursday i'm going do one thing before i show you what i have or what i was pulling out my pictures because i have more you know how i'd love to show pictures of all the cool libraries across the world i've got some more today believe that was yeah yeah i wasn't that sure was it two thousand and fourteen yeah because i'm not i'm very definitely not pregnant in that picture and i was pregnant in two thousand and fifteen so that's a good point in the year before that so yeah it doesn't fourteen with our them read it that that's right ice bucket when i got all that i had started laughing i thought is there anything that we won't know how in the name of the library i am helping and being charitable and i just saw that and thought that i just remember how much fun we had and what you don't see is that it was being filmed and like over here like in front of us don't remember all the crowd so hopefully they raised i know they've raised a lot a lot a lot a lot of money ok let's start with this we're going over to show you some really cool buildings really cool libraries h entire collection over night under the cover of darkness to a more stable government controlled location in the southern part of the country this was molly's mallees la mal islamic extremists that how how these manuscripts for ransom in two thousand and thirteen and now the local library was able to move them and save them god bless libraries i'm telling you keeping our history safe i always like stuff like this this is two hundred thousand volumes but the impressive part of this is the ceiling right that rivals the sistine chapel so when you look at that that's the first thing you think of rain that's why and that whole very cool i can't imagine having you know whatever all right this one is so cool right this is at the university of cat university of california san diego have some of my family members look like a big  library on the campus of university of california san diego and it describes it as weird almost like a spaceship ready to take off with your imagination and of course the building is named stuff like this ok i'm not going to it's been her and i am i just think that the cool i'm not going to show them all because i was run out of time but you know what there's one more i want to show this is the crate oh this one is so crazy  is the last one i'm going to show you that because talk about being creative this is an argentinean artist i'll show you in a minute keeping you in suspense argentinean artists rao lemmas sa a bookmobile a few steps further i don't think i've shown this before and i wanted to with his modified tank library the tank holds almost nine hundred books and raul says his mission is to battle ignorance and spread knowledge throughout oneness aries he says i attack people in a very nice and fun way says the artist and by attack look at it it's that's crazy talk about going green and reusing he used to think that's cool isn't it yeah you know scary but yeah it's a little scary but i'd rather see it filled with books than like extra something and i you know when i look at stuff like this remember like way towards the beginning or something a long time ago i've done somewhere you know that they the books came in on like writing right you know those kind of things  could that's really clever and you know he's doing this through oneness aries i thought i don't know if it would be a good idea to have it as a tank like if you're going through some of like where our troops are going to have a book for them and you might want not have it look like a tank so it doesn't get blown out brain you know mistaken but you know the thought of having a bookmobile like that is yeah i think you and i would have a good time running around on a book for running around in a book deal yeah was all i have looked at i do with me and of course it's on the excuse me while i fall on the floor all right now this for this segment i'm decorating ok ok all right so we had to mood for the rest of november because nobody thinks get really than we can even remember like in the last minute or so it may be said share something that we're thankful about in the only reason i'm saying that early is that you have time to think about it down yeah that's ok i think you're right yeah yeah and you can say you know if we screw up and don't have like the exact dates everything's whether i say it or not it's about canned goods ok ok so this is this is a true story and it just happened i honestly i saw it just happened yesterday and it has to do with canned goods so ok tim is cleaning out you know this beaver that he's going to go to somebody and he found some canned goods in there and he said well i've got lots of canned goods offering him to your house in i'm like no you really don't have to do that i'm good and he said no you know you have to see it i said i'm not sure i said to you i want to check because he goes well they never expire i said well you know nothing lasts forever i said i think you need to look to see if there's any expiration on those you know before you start feeling like you're going to give them away lot of a lot of yeah because people especially like they didn't you know growing up in the depression like they say we didn't throw away so but you do think that that going to laugh at that stuff last forever but it really does us i love it mr pete you know he's our chess champion and he is still in you said you had a nice conversation with him while i was going to see nice is nice and he's so he's so nice he's so friendly he's great with the kids he's a chess champion and south and he is just taking it on from when he donates his time to come to the library and work with the kids and teach them how to play chess very and boy is he getting quite the following i'm so happy for i'm so happy for him and like i said when you mention that you saw him that i talked to his wife comes in a lot to use the library quite frequently about getting him on another day like we have our lego league rice a month to start doing that with the so right now the chess is set where it's always the what does that make that the third tuesday right third tuesday of every month then it's at six thirty it's an hour long of the kids end up stay in longer playing so be it but he's amazing lots of fun yeah if we had extra time we could hang and learn all all this fun stuff we could be doing if we had time to build lego's and play chess yet if i had time i would all right i know what time of the giving you now also have on december first we have our elf on the shelf kick off party in december pretty much the whole month of december until christmas eve we have a elf that comes and visits the library and checks on all the little patrons and he's the height or so every day he hides in a different spot and you can come to the library and see where he is you know a lot of touch  though and right get a chance to win a really cool prize basket right before the holidays so to welcome him to the library on december first we're going to have an elf on the shelf kick off party and we're going to read the shannon and this linda christmas that would be good seventeenth six forty five six forty five it's a thursday night and i was looking at the movie sign ups today and that's already has a nice sign up for ice we ask that you sign up for it we've been reminded everybody in awhile please i know we ask we will not turn you we try really hard not to ever have to turn anybody away of course but the reason we ask for people to register for things and sign up when we tell you about these events is so we have a headcount we want to make sure we have enough stuff you know if we think three people are coming and then thirty three show up which it sounds crazy but a tap and oh yeah it's  lead everybody makes it an assumption and then we're going well you know it's going to be a little small group today and all the sudden you're like wow we're always prepared but we don't want to be stuck having a bad program because we' yes that's all that's all you have to visit you just can call us to sign up to them for finding dory and i think next month december is going to be polar express fun for like our movie night you wan sign up because we make massive amounts of popcorn it's like the best movie theater popcorn with the real machine in the my gosh so sign up so we know to start making it involved there you  that's my sixty's because i love popcorn it's good to have a good book for us this like do you know what i do you know what before i start with i was going to do a couple of the new chapter books but there's a new i wan and this too is yeah gizmo and lily there you go perfect i always say that their cousin said it to they find a hat they both try it on you know and they both think it looks wonderful on themselves and they both want it but since there's only one hand they walk away from it because only one can have it and then the story goes from there about who is thinking about it and who really wants to you know that they found that together i love his books and he's so clever and they're so funny because it's like this hat trilogy of the his books always have to do with lately his picture books have been you know services conference in pittsburgh over the weekend some subjects about that yea i will have all kinds of wonderful ideas when i get back and i'm going to meet some really cool y a authors and she is one of them now her first she wrote a trilogy she wrote t does not connect to the other one so it is a stand alone book but if you liked that world so that's basically like you know susan collins to write another book that would take place in  people have powers things like that kings queens armies all that kind of stuff but this group is about six outcasts that take a chance on a deadly heist that will make them very dark dark and empty the well you'll be meeting the author show have her new books with her yeah nice and new one of the series two so which we actually have an order right now six of crows which  geared more towards our high school readers and i was told ok cool yeah looks good all right here's another new one this one is by and berg she's author of all the broken pieces and therapy as promised it's called  bound and this is you know how every now and then i'll do books that make them just a little bit different this one is done in verse like and i do the whole story in verse but i would for a reader and they are quicker to read that way yeah you feel like you're you get all that for a little bit further and you don't get us all the sudden or go wow look at me then you'll think i'll just read one more and then before you know it we've gotten through a lot of  lot of pages but this one is pretty the two that i've picked to talk about are pretty intense it reminds me of how precious freedom is and you know here we are by now with when this this show airs we would have picked the president now that we're not caught you know go america lovers fat you know you know on the whole political system and you know this year's been interesting and i look like even when i said it was in mexico how fortunate i feel that we are for so many things this book is called this book i'm bound is a story of a girl named grace and the day grace is called from the slave cabins to work in the big house mama makes her promise to keep her eyes down on gold jim caution sir to keep her thoughts tucked private in her mind or they could bring a whole lot of trouble and pain and other words you know these are slaves the going up to work you know for their masters and they have no rights you can't even you know keep your eyes down don't look at them but the more gracies of the heartless master and hateful mrs the more this right voice clamors in her head of like you know wanting everything to be righted and asking how come white folks  own other people that was one of her questions why can she you know why did they sell them on the auction block how can they separate families forever and all of a sudden this voice escapes sets off a terrible chain of events and the sudden grace and her family have to run they have to be out of there but what it is is what i found interesting and i have not read it yet so i'm looking forward to it too it's about it's a story a little about a little known chapter of american history about a hidden community in the great dismal swamp a real place that sheltered people fleeing bondage and creates a powerful testament to the right of every human to be free so when i thought i like i want to read this and then i want to look up what this was the great dismal swamp a real place you know the very so cool yeah probably a little bit heavy but also making me you know sometimes you have to read that sometimes you should read things like this and write and read you know become a more well rounded yeah you know very or diverse selections and kids actually learn a lot about history from reading so yeah yeah you should know this one another guy you get to meet this weekend jonathan oxer he is a pittsburgh guy oh yeah and out of the car somewhere with his family he is the author of peter nimble and his fantastic eyes are just put on my kindle that is about a little boy who is blind and he finds these pair of eyes i guess you know he's able to see things but in a different kind of way but this is a little more studio this is another corner and this is about two kids to a bandish abandoned excuse me irish siblings to travel to work as a servant at a creepy crumbling english manor and they are confronted by this mysterious stranger in an ancient curse that threatens their very lives you know we might we would run into him someday that would be cool so giant office here the night garden or a little bit more spooky which i think this might be a fun book for girls and guys yeah yeah definitely all right i know we're cutting it because here i'll do my last one because it kind of they kind of remind me of each other this is called one half from the east sometimes hiding can set you free this is about living in afghanistan  as a girl so i don't have a lot of time to talk about it but i will say that this girl's father had lost one of his legs in a bomb explosion forcing the family to move from their home city of to a small village where life is very different and decides that in order for this girl to succeed that she changes her identity into a boy to make friends  and it just talks about the having friendships that won't last forever because she's not who she they think she is and sometimes being a girl in afghanistan can mean losing even more than these simple freedoms  so i mean you talk boy talk about diversity and again another i mean this one's in the united states and in america it's all over the world the fight for freedom you know so that was a really good i know how heavy but good yeah we need to read it i have so many that we have so many people we do i wish i was like i was having a huge basket and never can i know get to them all right and we come to our local library and check them out yeah talk to us will tell you more we have a lot more so we have to like head out now because aren't we making like christmas cards or something that's true all right
