such a big library i am miss shannon and i am miss linda and you know what i decided like the last show we talked about getting a new tagline for this i don't really have it yet you know i was sitting here on the couch thinking about it i only had like ten minutes i mean i'm good under pressure but i wanted to be creative but you know i was thinking about what it is we do besides being sometimes we're a little goofy like the last one i had gum in my mouth i don't not have got my own i had to sit it out you know we do goofy things but we have fun and i kept thinking i was thinking about that what better part of the library to be and then and i want to say this now we call it the youth services right department and that's how we are and that's why the kids like to come right and you know what it's part of our personalities and we just bring it all mary kay and we yeah we we don't that it we just we just say let's let's just do what we want to have f so anyway i was thinking about what also what we're here to do and i was sick of we are inviting you we are telling you about programs for you to come to write you know we want we are telling you what to do all the programs that are you know made by this channel they run a lot so you can catch it at different times and somebody had told me that they had seen the show and it was like two in the morning but what you know i mean if you have the nights that you can't sleep or something so i just look at him yeah i said well it too in the morning you don't have to watch the other stuff tuned to this thing and we may just be there yeah to entertain you to you know kind of like you know how long it takes should really to get in a new year's resolution for me i just gets like by february i'll be i'll have this so all right all right last time we talked about new year's resolutions the teachers  it was a handout the teachers could do hand out to the kids and you know have them do these different activities that encourages them to read  exactly and think about it it's a you could do it just as a parent you have to be a teacher you can get those things and as a parent say ok let's have a reading goal and do it at night right you know help make that goal part of your bedtime ritual instead of you know just pulling books out of the air and just fulfill those goals like it i like it yeah me too good having said that every here we go now this is a weeks well one book every two weeks and i love it and i was not with these books you know i think for the young adults perhaps but this is a pretty lofty goal but i think it's fun this one just want you all it says is different books that it wants you to choose ok for and i brought examples ok so a book you may have read in school and q book and also that would or that let's say or because we don't want to cheat and use it as a as two things because you could also there is a thing in here that says a book by  book by a male author ok so it was a female illustrator but a male author so ok so if you need something like that in perhaps you've read it in school so i thought it was a good also no word w oh i wanted to say that i'm so glad you said it because the metal is on here and then we have you know you see these if you see these on the books these are for award winners and ask for the award winner section we do have a section that we pull ok how about a book was somewhat someone's name in the title i mean not so easy but just randomly and thinking about harry potter yeah exactly for your age group so that would be fun and it could be a new book another where he went or how about just this could be any book this would be really easy book with a one word title ok  so that would work and then i brought one more example a book you can finish in a day that it's super easy because you would be able to finish you know any of these in a day perhaps even five minutes and as an example it's mrs mc not in that great big squash or do you find that one i dug it out of not necessarily quite do you want to hear something funny yes i always think you were trying to cross my heart somebody asked for this book was somebody we know it's i mean somebody that you know was a regular child in there and knew the title and everything and it wasn't during like the fall thing in the right all stuff that just ended like within maybe the last week or so how about that we'll say yeah  books this one would be hard ok this one they might have to not they might have to just cross it off because it would be impossible but a book written by somebody know i know and then but it's it is a child she like eight ok so it would depend but yeah ok one more thing that depressed me is when i was reading it and i read it to miss lynn and we both gro because for us that would be both that everybody was slow and said that i was it didn't really appreciate that because i'm not a i'm not i don't have i want to say it nicely haven't as many years on me as miss other activities going on and all of the staff wants to watch and it is i mean their little bit loud because it's a concert in the atrium is like right noise travels but it's we do fun things like that out in there and like you said they you're yawning again that's ok you have a baby so i can and just like you said it is become like a tradition every year and  mention to you on the last show that josh had said that they so look forward to this and they feel like on that day that they're going to you know do a concert for us at the peters township library as long as kids and great entertainment yeah and i just want to mention one thing about their theme because we talked last time it's you know their theme is like anti bullying and you know feel good about yourself and in this day and time this day and age i should say  no matter how old the kid is or the child you can use this yes people people there are a lot of good people in the world but there are the a lot of bullies as well in on that book club at any time you don't have to have been at before or you can discover it's a lot of fun yeah it is and yeah i did it for you once that was and i've watched you like you know in some of the things that you've done and they're the kids love it and it's such a great series yeah great series easy to read a quick read in they learn something without really realizing that they've learned something yeah i've learned a lot from reading a lot of history has yet she doesn't as a research that is for sure ok we are going to talk about this today we're going to talk about this the next two times to make sure they deal it is a huge deal  i hate to sound like it because the political anyway never mind we are so excited and we are welcoming to the peters township public library a children's author illustrator by the name of jackie or band of vic and jackie to give you a little bit of background partnered with us to help us get the initiative it's a national program that not everybody does but we like to jump on the worthwhile things you know yeah i reached out to her and she said yes isn't and i just recently wrote her and said just thank you for saying yes and she basically let us use all of her characters for the logos poor anything any thing promotions published and anything we want to do we can use her illustrations that is a big deal you know i mean because you said no not even compared to me and i said oh we have so much to show you and chill love our township but we want to see a lot of people there i want to show her the you know the people that we have in this town lot of kids she we she's not quite sure yet because we're still kind of getting the stuff together what she's going to do but she does typically she does illustrations for people shows them how to power library i don't supercharged storytime yeah is that what it is supercharged yeah so it is so worth it to be there so we want to get everybody there and duck it is max but doc i he was docked at the door was her first doc book although she has illustrated before that this was the first book that she wrote and illustrated that very simple book really what i like about it the her collar choices everything is great but i want to just say one more thing because it shows her generosity well you know well we know we can share that when you reach the the thousand book goal before kindergarten that's what the goal is to read and thousand books it's easier than you would think it would be it sounds daunting but it's not bad we have kids we have a good set of already one and we have pictures of them and she has kindly like i sent her a bunch of books and i said would you mind autographing these for the kids because i want this to be their big prize that they get you know she helped us out and i would love for her to autograph i got back the books and as you know she absolutely goes crazy in them with her signing of them which i'm going to show and something else i noticed because i got more books came in the mail the other day and i looked at each one of them and every single book is different and how she signed it every single one is different and i say that because wait till you see it and she did this caliber caliber and more on every book i don't know if it shows real well with the with the  you are max and i like to read too she so into it and you know to take time to do this right for us and for the kids she's so into it and she cannot wait we should invite the kids special that made it you know i think to meet her right you know at a special thing that's a good idea to remind me i write it down so jackie our band of it you're going to hear about her tons and tons and tons and till she comes and it's march thirtieth yes it's friday in our i was sorry thursday night march thirtieth and it's going to be at six thirty in the atrium again we love we love that room for big crowds the month of february so i don't make one ok we do a display called a blind date with a book and what we do is we'll take a regular bulk of those doing and we cover it so that all you can have to expose is going to be the book by be about but it's just a couple details nothing major and then it's just like a blind date you know you never know you're going to get so then you can't open it and tell you get it checked out so you can check the book out in the new take it home unwrap it and maybe it's going to be your new fare book maybe it's something you're not even interested in but that's luck of chance so it's really cool like it's tonight is love the game of chance a new you know what it doesn't matter because it's a library books or freeze to can check out as many books yeah and so i go what i'm going to start reading it and you don't like it you can take it back yeah they've got nothing to lose so and a lot of fun going back to new year's resolutions they write that i don't think different reaction thing different so the blooded folks start looking for the beginning of february w library if i must say my yes so myself but i know we get wonderful wonderful comments another thing that we started brand new for two thousand and seventeen we talked about last time is make monday talked about having a maker space is the thing that that libraries are doing and included in that and i didn't mention that last time the things like the three d printer that we have upstairs like sewing machines we have like all these things and like all this robotic tech not right you know technology to work with  and we decided to do a maker monday and we are inviting we're gearing it towards like the mcmurry school age kids the tweens we call them this the you know approximately four through six grades and you know to walk down after school get permission to walk down after school and a four o'clock they're going to do something that will require hands on ok something fun now i said you know the first one was ozo bots that they were going to work with those of watts you know and build their own mazes etc this time they're going to work and we've talked about this a long time ago making made i tried something different i have to tell you i was so proud of myself ok i had so with this make the make the the gist of it is is that you have like these alligator clips and it c on to this little electronic this board and and it's hooked up also to your computer so you put the alligator clips in anything that is conductive and it could be anything so the most fun ones that i have i mean i've seen them put it in played i've seen them anything you know but my favorite which is really fun is like fruit right you know that's really fun so last time i think i talked about i had set one up with bananas and it has five different slots where you can do it five different bananas you'll see the keyboard on your computer and you push each banana and it corresponds with one of the notes and it's pretty in tune and you know for a banana i don't know bad so you're sitting there as i was on my kitchen table playing the banana as like this ok then i thought well i have to learn more i want to experiment more but i just had that stuff there so i get on line making make he has there's a site where they give you ideas i went on and i had another musical instrument i did bongo drums so you just disconnect three of them so you've only got two in and you can you know i think i switched it to a funny name isn't it whatever the you could line them all up and have an orchestra yes a fruit so that's what you're going to do and i my orchestra yeah you know what because we have a lot for the kids to use so i'm going to be purchasing a lot of fruit and yeah if we can come up with some o'clock and it's not this came up i was this week you do not have to be there at three it runs from three to five so you can come in any time during those two hours and something will be available for you to create it's kind of a come and go kind of a thing so a lot of the kids are participating that now because we do have it open up for tween certain times in the month so you can come forward after school doesn't matter but for that and we're doing a special theme to one sometimes it's just whatever but every now and then we'll do special that i won and you were just a she was like skippy you know very like really delighted to find out no that's a craft painter so pain it knock yourself out take it home with yeah that was a real one of our nicer ones that's true and  crazy about ok one in less than a minute because we have to do our good bye you know that this is called a twist scientist and i liked it and the reason being is that it's just i think we probably are running in a time in time so yeah this is great you know we got to get you know sometimes not not as much anymore a bit more and more you know get the girls to know that they're
