little kind of a buzz about to appear such a public library i miss shannon and i miss lind and we're here to bring you all the information that you need from our departments which would be children's and young adult all the fun stuff that's not true the whole library is fun  we have the globe here as a prophet but miss linda is very particular about this and during our break in between our last show and this one she was looking at the globe for an extended period time to make sure she knew exactly where we were talking spin and we'll see where we end up ok oh now it's going to be all mixed up and i'm not going to know where it is in particular africa ok it's right there it's the blue part it's just a little blue area on the globe called nigeria in africa and i loved this article i mean talk about librarians being dedicated this woman is amazing she had just graduated with her  the university of denver just last march ok of course the job market being tough she was up plying in you know applying applying plying never got couldn't get any interviews in the states she was actually hoping to stay where she was from which was west palm beach florida ok you know it's a little hard to be picky just keep that in mind for any graduates it's hard to be picky you have to go where you have to go you know to get a job at least to get the experience so a couple of friends of hers were working for this organization in nigeria and they were schoolteachers i believe the two women were schoolteachers and they needed a librarian they suggested to her the cio apply well she did she applied and she got the job and at first she said i wasn't sure i would accept it was it going to be worth the move she got on the plane to go to nigeria to discover that another person on the plane was like in charge of that school or organization is called american international school of abu shah a little yeah been there lately ok well she got her job offer from there and ran into somebody that is part of it on the plane and she happened to say do you have any pictures of the library because she was going to come in and take over this library you know give any pictures i can see and you know get the feel for it before i and she went in there she goes however being a library less librarian through me for a loop after the initial shock i did what most librarians would do started exploring how to work around this gap and she wanted to know where were all the books you know where were they being stored because it was just a big hole but it goes on and on and on she didn't have any wow they were going to rebuild it and she was helping you know design it and get the shelves put up i like her technique she said that she went about doing her business backwards as a librarian and i was an author and i will tell you i know you hear sit there with bated breath that she i mean for going to their physical space so she did have a space so she went to them and she went to all the classrooms and she offered to do things she continually was in every classroom and doing all of that and asking you know by trying to meet everybody in like she said by the first week of school she had thirteen library classes planned for the first week but the library wasn't open yeah get in the library look at it open for business one month after the start of school so to unreasonable i guess one month and so you know it started out as yeah she made the physical connections first and then the libraries physical space second and with this one little quote of her she said as i look back i am thankful that i was able to go into the classrooms early on which turned out to be a bonding experience with teachers and other staff this was invaluable for future collaboration otherwise i would have focused so much on preparing the libraries physical space that personal connections might have been overlooked until later in the school year so her first year in nigeria as a school librarian she says it's been an amazing experience with or without a library briefly and that's that's that's quite a story now wow i can imagine that yeah go in and say ok let me see pictures of the library and she was just looking at a dark hole you know like this maybe you want to shut up and  a that's a big move but i could even tell you more details but to go to africa and do this and bill that like they offer they offer a lot of nice incentives i would hope so like of school loans and yeah and helping helping with a lot of different financial things yeah and for that i'm happy for her because i'm not like oh wow i'm happy for because about the eggs and things yes you have to register we asked if it all possible for you know you can make it please register we want head counts otherwise you have a million people in the room which was not as safe and then we replenished and if i would offer you a color i already know what you're going to take some not going to offer you had a pick pink and then i get the blue you can see what says this two thousand and seventeen bubble gum or is this to you but it's two all right we got the first day exist and it is a super fun event it's held inside the library but again please sign up it's going to the nineteenth or the twenty sixth both or monday nights there is a mistake in the township magazine so make note of th saturday and there was there was conflict so we had to move it from that saturday and remember how we talked like we did programs on the nights we work who works monday night as a member i haven't had a whole thing that monday night monday night so to monday nights before the two monday nights before easter that night because another thing i don't know if it's our i saw it in our brochure that says that one of them is monday morning and i w then somehow i had that on my sign up sheet so then i had to cross that out and put that so there were a little but i don't know what happened this time so please forgive us but they are both on monday pollo and monday night the nineteenth the twenty six at six working on these programs the last couple months that she does our night with a cutie and so she's going to do a nature cat this month in march which is great because we're looking into spring and they took us all about getting outside and made her so a lot of fun with that we always had some the flyer you know we put them up on the display took a picture of it and she was like i'm so excited she said this is my kids favorite program and she not only said that she went and grabbed her kids out from playing were whatever they were playing well i mean partnering with q e d and they're awesome programming and everything that they do for us and what we do for them and it's it's a mutually beneficial relationship it's one of our favorite partnerships for sure it's been it's been a wonderful experience so moving on kindergarten to you about that i would love to yeah i sent one of these to kelsey to put on this is really cool and i think it is worth talking about which is you know they had been doing a kindergarden t i believe it was being how to tower hill before it got switched to the library  do is they invite preschool teachers come to the library for this preschool and this year they're calling it the a b c off to kindergarten that's the theme and as you can see on the screen and what i like to i you know send out a notice of this to all the preschool teachers and stuff a lot of that they would know it's just preschool teachers and kindergarten teachers but it's fun to mention because it just shows how active the people are in our community and i'd lie and i wrote on my little note to them and i said oh i went p s oh by the way did i mention it includes lunch i did and that's the best part about it yeah it was another thing  there's going to be all kinds of demonstrations and things for the preschool teachers to see and meet with kindergarten teachers to see what the preschool kids need to know to be ready to go into kindergarten that is helpful for the can i garden teachers as well right now actually preschool teachers you do get in service hours yet attending this event so i know it's hard to get and certainly down hours being in the preschool since it's like but basically all day every day that you're there and they don't necessarily have the in service opportunities we have in a public school system so  to save the date for wednesday may twenty third when's day night we're having the first time ever pair getting ready for priests for kindergarten parent night yeah at the library so these same can be guardian teachers maybe with some of our preschool teachers are going to come to the library with our children services staff yet in tell you all that you need to know to make sure your child is ready for kindergarten because it's tough and it is you know what i think that as i get older and even seen the difference since my kids have been in the different grade levels it is i think each year is just tougher than the year before it just seems like there's they're adding so much to the curriculum and all of that but what will be nice too for that parent night is yet to have the one on one with the preschool teachers in the kindergarten teachers but we will be there as well pointing out things that we can give you that will help you get your child ready  know we have the resources right to get them ready with play and books and all of this is you know our tablets and this with all this stuff yeah that you can check out for free so we'll be able to show you our resources as well which is so so it's a win win for everybody oh yeah save that date for may twenty third our first time trying and i think it's going to be a i do i think it's to me we're all success and if if if i offer cookies or something cooked we'll have refreshments of some kind yeah all right whopper something have yeah like a crossword puzzle of this is super cute i love the cover of it too it's quirky and charming wise and unpredictable and it's about scott bird also who has a track record of quitting his best friends know exactly what they want for the rest of the lives but scott can hardly commit to a breakfast cereal let alone a passion oh it's always applications looming in his parents pushing him to settle on a practical career scott sneaks off to washington d c seeking guidance or a famous psychologist who claims to know the chase he knows he's in for the ride of his life soon scott finds himself sneaking into bars attempting to pick up girls of the national zoo hardest thing is to figure out the how you're going to do with your life to make a choice at sixteen and seventeen what you going to be when you grow up and that's kind of what this book is about it's almost like a play on that so down and across i just think this is going to be super fun looking forward to this one so brand new hot off the presses teen but i live very ok do i get a hot off the press was a go back and forth real quick like this i love this one this is about the statue of liberty and i love the title because it talks about all the parts of the statue of liberty in particular her right foot and that's what it's called her right foot by dave eggers it's because her right foot if you pay attention is in motion see how yeah she's moving and the book talks about and you know without you know we don't get political or anything on here or any but what one there were two things that really  stuck out to me it said if the statue of liberty is a symbol of freedom if the statue of liberty has welcomed millions of immigrants to the united states then how can she stand still so that's why you know and they go on to say she's so she was so anxious for immigrants that she's actually out to see to greet them before they even make it to land of yep and that's why it says after all the statue of liberty is an immigrant to and piece of history and you know representation of our country absolutely ok thanks well this is another brand new hot off the presses this one's actually kind of really it's definitely turned up but was more silly  like i said it's a little the dark side seventeen year old alice and her mother have spent most of else's life on the road always a step ahead of the uncanny bad luck biting at their heels but one else's grandmother the reclusive author of a book of pitch dark fairy tales dies alone at her inst estates that he's a wood alice learns how bad her luck can really get her mother is stolen away by a figure who claims to come from the rules supernatural world where her grandmother stories are set so definitely little bit of fantasy twisted into alice's only lead is the message her mother states left behind stay away from the hazelwood alice has a long steer clear of her grandmother's cultish fans but now she has no choice but to allie with her classmate in fairytale superfan who may have his own reasons for wanting to help her to find her mother alice venture first to the who is a would and then to the world where her mother her grandmother's tales begin and where she might discover why her own story went so wrong with holes a little dark and lot of picture books that people are really getting into helping children feel good about themselves you know you know there's so much going on in the world in the bullying and all that you know that they have like little to no confidence in themselves this one by dariya people's wryly and this is called this is it says she's you know a ballet dancer obviously but this isn't just about ballet dancing the one do you remember what was her namely yeah i hope you die if you dance this one says dance like you belong the spotlight kind of like yeah kind of like that too says today is the day stand up tall point your toes take a deep breath and dance and i absolutely love it they tell you to stand up tall arch your back hold your head high it's everything to do with living and feeling proud and good about yourself and whether you're a dancer or a soccer player or an avid reader be proud of yourself doing what you like to do  his habit of reading the top secret files hidden in his bedroom and then one day a stranger from the department of the unexplained arrives with news of his father and darko says life goes from ordinary to extraordinary alan knightley used to be london's top private detective until a mysterious incident left him in a coma who or years now has woken up to discover his son has inherited his talent for solving mysteries and their services are really needed the do a find themselves caught in a conspiracy that involves a group of villainous masterminds a code to crack high speed card crushes and the bestselling book that might be making people do terrible things could all be linked to a shadowy organization known as the combination there are only two people strange enough to take on this equally weird string of crimes and nightly and sun wow that was a really fun crime solving you know like like i said you don't see books like that too often why a lot of the still be and still remain away or even like romance so this is a really fun  you know if you're a mystery fan yeah you know i was while you were reading that i was thinking because your comment about not having many many mysteries written for that age group that you know that would be really cool if this would be army or connect with people that maybe this author as an example right start writing more right you know so that's cool looks like a fun one yeah all right another feel good one matt penn ya and lauren long lauren long he was the one that illustrated among other things the little engine that could go for yeah he's been around it's a beautiful book and it basically hold it up it is it talks about it takes people all around whether you're getting in a taxi cab or you're standing in front of a puddle you're you know wherever you are doing whatever you're doing that there is love around you yeah that there is love and you just have to slow down and look for it so it's kind of like you know stop and smell the roses right thing and then it does and i was going to have us you know get so when the time comes for you to set off on your own heavy winds will sweep past your building great grey clouds up less shoes will congregate above that's not hurting the effect your loved ones will stand there like puddles the need their umbrellas holding you tight and kissing you and wishing you luck so sweet ok together quite ready but it won't be luck you'll leave with because you'll have love you'll have lots of love sounds like a song i know i want to play the beatles in the background ok so i think that i i might have to use that one
