both in our green and the luck the luck of the irish very lucky yeah are you irish i am yeah well i'm staying in which everything in ireland apparently is also yet is name yeah bars or airports streets january this will be january i don't know if we'll have any games left or not but ever the optimist so i decided i'm going steelers and so then to even be more optimistic and helpful that if maybe it'll be good luck if i this is it you know like i used to ski and go sledding and do all of that now it's like darn it does it have to get that cold but i'm not not the part where i want to like leave pennsylvania that's fun that this is actually for everybody all over the world this is about new year's and new year's tradition i love to make new year's traditions yes they last more than two weeks oh you're mean resolutions resolutions you know visit and they always have all that stuff like advertise to in the stores like right after course that's it so yeah i know it well yeah i try to be well we'll talk about it i try to be conscientious of resolutions when i make them i don't you know i don't know why i make them because every year i think well i want to have more time to do this or to do that or slow down or lose three hundred pounds and you know well it's better and if i can happen in two weeks what i have a me a new year's resolution and then we played a game where we had to guess who picked what well funny so i posted them all yeah and then you had to like get two and of course there's prizes because it on prize prizes but yeah maybe i'll do it again this year that would be so fun and you know what i would be the one i would like to come up with my new year's resolution is to go to africa and count gorillas you know something crazy year's resolutions are parted at the end of the year it is common for people to make new year's resolutions some people opt out of this tradition because it can be a challenge to keep those resolutions through out the new year and no one wants to feel and defeated so you know when you're not keeping it for more than twenty four hours or two weeks sometimes you try hard and you a new year's resolutions can also feel silly at times but it's important for all of us to import bark on this challenge this upcoming year some with a challenge all right why are they important because coming up with resolutions forces us to reflect on our actions storing the past year so my resolution might be not to be crappy during the next year or mean to somebody or whatever so mean am i i am i'm and yeah tours through them driving them away i'm telling you when you decide to make a resolution you are deciding that you need to change something about yourself and this self reflection is very important for everyone so ok we'll have to spend some time self reflecting before new year's day ok decide that we need to change something creating resolution allows us to challenge ourselves to change in the upcoming year so we can do this and i think that as we get older our resolutions change of what's important out ok so how can librarians help patrons achieve their new year's resolution you may ask put up book displays and how to eat healthy and you've got the answers and it comes to make a new year's resolutions we've got this we're going to keep them fresh in people's minds we're going to remind you that the library our library our theaters public library is a great resource to help keep you on track and you were right the first one like say you want to cook healthier meals because you want to quit eating crap right what do we have so come in and you know find your nutritional knowledge and books and your cooking skills and excuses of why i don't have time you know i try i like it like yesterday i was and i feel so good after i've been to the gym but it's just a matter of like dragging my butt ok so if you can't find the time to exercise and you feel like why i can't get out to the choke first ok spending more time with the family that's another good one with the libraries because we offer so many programs in our department you can come in and do oh my gosh december was right you know and especially as i'm sweating pretty balls right here in the wary when it's you know you're looking for things to do you know it's get out of the house because you you know you get to a point in the winter months that you're like crawling the walls and you're crazy yeah bring into the library plus we have a fun play area and oh i like this one to find the findings the  the embroidery machines we've got a dream machine true i forgot about that and i know i wish i would have thought i wonder to so you think it's hard to learn no but i didn't quickly in order to do a little like wedding gift on that maybe i can use that was  there's a new order that's all about new year's resolution on how we can be how we as a library can be useful for making those happen and as we go along and when we're sharing books and stuff i'm going to be ok so the first big program we have of twenty nine is our adult only eighteen over harry potter escape room and that's going to be held on january fifth and actually the program is entirely full of fill it up i think before even december head pretty much yeah we so but it's still being posted places so please you can still sign up but we're on it you have to be on a wait list so you please let us know as soon as possible so we can hopefully get some of our weightless people in a group as well so but we're really excited about it i mean our teen won was our biggest program of the summer and that's why we did the adult one because so many adults wanted to come to the teen one  it's going to be a lot of fun that is so exciting that even the staff put together a team yes that we're going to have a blast you know so we're like we may be stuck in there forever but we're going to have a lot of fun but we're going to kick you out within a about new year's resolutions about doing stuff but make mondays is geared towards the like the tween group between say like fourth and sixth grade even in the middle school to come over after school on a monday from four o'clock on we put some stuff out and just all kill the boredom in kill the you know the wards the give you something to do something to  something to just to get through winter get anywhere let us know in neat things the big thing today is is make or spaces and getting out there and doing things on your own and  stay there and stare at you and tell you how to do or not to do it's all about us putting out stuff for you to be creative and we've got some really fun things so hoping that i think my new year's resolution it's usually always the second thursday of the month so in january we're going to be doing the t v series odd squad which is about like a group of actually tweens and kids that are kind of like  it's live action it's not animated and it's a lot of fun i've seen a couple different besides of it throughout the year so we're going to do odd squad on january tenth we've actually been odd squad rug at the library too so it's full of the kids come in they're like oh god squad so that'll be on january tenth  at six thirty so that's another get in a family event so the whole family can come whether they're you know it doesn't matter the age group with the odd squad kind of has a wide range of an audience too because it is live action so a lot of kids really enjoy that one cole there they rock there with their a lot of fun paul a reading at to tell you this funny not funny thing actually cool pause for reading is our program that you know we we have the therapy dogs come and you know the kids sign up for a little twenty minutes time slots and come and sit with the dogs and then read to them or pet them are just stare at them you know get familiar familiarity with dogs but also comfortable with their reading my dentist work and they're going to start doing that as a matter fact they went in met them with the dog and did a little news thing about doing that i said that's what i told them i said that's a lot of work because we work with these therapy dogs and legalities and like different pieces in order to at least be official you know within the therapy dog organization right you know to be if there's a dog and rational yes so that's really cool anyway of course we have another one coming up they're always the second saturday of the month in the mornings when it goes from ten to eleven twenty all they have to have to do is call and sign up pick a twenty minute slot and bring your kids training the owners are just as nice and generous so yeah it's a lot of fun comes around to the dads it's a good new year's resolution yeah start reading it is really and again the nice thing to do to get out on a cold on a cold saturday morning what else are you going to do sports are going on and you know go now to the dog lot exactly something well one thing that's not on our list of notes here but i wanted to make sure i talked about it because i must've forgotten  was doing this but it's an exciting event so so they'll get into january what is probably the most highly anticipated thing that is going on in the city of pittsburgh and january winter fest no this is only like this is never happened before this particular event has not happened in pittsburgh anyways an event that has not happened in pittsburgh but is coming to pittsburgh is something is coming to pittsburgh and january that's very highly community and throughout pittsburgh really excited because it him and it's coming to pittsburgh i've talked to teens a lot of my kids are are blessed enough that they're going to get to go or they're getting gifts or getting tickets as their christmas presents or whatever the regardless  their going or not i know already that we have a high amount of hamilton fans in our community because of other programs so we're going to have a birthday party because who doesn't love a birthday and cake ok while i like all the fun room and help us celebrate him wilton's birthday in the way free cake or cupcakes involved so what more do you want that's right just put that in your new year's resolution cupcakes fridays after school yeah right on library  right yeah there you go so january oh good i'm glad you brought that up yeah a fun one i mean that will be i'm excited about the whole hamilton thing is it's going be crazy it is it's all good yep very good ok so our programs are starting  recycle story times all that will be starting up on january seventh so if you're not already signed up for those programs do work in session so we asked people that they sign up for every single session on every single week week right but every season so like we have winter programs to sign up once for those we had our fall programs you signed once for those so if you are already signed up for a fall we would like you decide to go in for the winter so that way we know that you're still coming and how to plan accordingly for rather ten discuss an approximate because you know to do different things than we'd like to you know we know you're not going to be able to necessarily make it every week but you're the winner yeah because yeah specially in the winter is cold this that is you know weather whatever  but it gives us a general ballpark right if we're going to have five thousand or thirty three hundred another really important reason to sign up especially in the winter and is that it gives us your contact so sometimes because of the weather oh we do have to cancel programs  every now and then that does happen and we want to be to let you know so that when you don't decide to come out and bear the storm for the sake of not missing you know mother your story time right good point yeah it's not worth it i mean we know that the programs are wonderful and people love to come but it's certainly not worth risking and we have had to cancel because of that before not risking your safety so excellent yeah writing a book to share well yes and doing a year's resolution thing like you're barely nice stationery i did this on purpose i did this summer you have been you don't have a crappy year yeah this was my my little late little christmas goodie from the shannon and his little poop thing what

language had spanish russian french german whatever we've got online resources online mozzie for the kids yet and mango for the adults and guess what all free doesn't have to pay it language sign language yes actually some of our stuff is learned that's what made me think of it the gail courses they have the sign language so you could learn sign language and i missed diana's and i would love to do that i don't know i know a couple of things but more and more kids are learning it and i love it and it's offered every like twelve weeks or so and it's again it is free and gale force is also teachers offer free at forty eight cost and yet if you need your out forty eight hours you can get them for free for free gift books i of course you want to read i'm here at the library but you know get a sneak peek at the library and then if you want to give it as a gift this one's called be more yoda mindful thinking from a galaxy far far away and this one's be more vader sort of thinking from
