a lot of changes which yeah sure but that's it's a new year and it changes it's all good and well the biggest change is the last time we were here we had this land but now we have a miss you see which one you brought but we also do have some changing in our staff so please make sure when you're in the library come out and meet our new friend she's been working on a part with us too so she's a lot of fun to be and hang out the teens a lot and doing some things some again and say hi to her come on in yeah a new face i meet sydney so yeah lots of fun stuff going on yeah ok it'll be enough to put her there i feel so lost like we're doing one show today for january and i was like are happy new year's show have a new year special he's a happy new y fun one to start out with for the new year and i had just as a reminder for the entire universe all right so this this covers everybody on the globe ok and i like to kind of think big so this is all right this was the c b e librarian newsletter and it is called it is ten reasons that libraries are still better than the internet ok i want everybody to listen because if you think that google you know like you want to find out something i'll just get on google it's way more than google you know so we are way more than we are we are the professional google or  neuro no here we go why the internet is no substitute for library number one libraries are safer spaces the internet brings people together often in enjoyable productive ways but there's cyberbullying there strolling that leaves people reluctant to engage with folks that they disagree with or share their ideas in the first place libraries are places where people can gather constructively and all are welcome amun dollar welcome ok that's only one library shows a half hour long ok i'm moving along libraries respect history because of the content of our library collection that we you know we're really careful with that especially like documents and archives like the acid free papers and the things that we do like for our township all the you know all they want history things for to write for sure we have we've got that librarians digitize influential primary sources which is true we put a lot of things you know and make information librarians noam of for librarians are leaders in increasing online access to call early information scholarly scholarly not all information to all of our high school students is scholarly or necessarily true i don't like using that well there's another term that fake news or whatever but i don't i don't like them like that librarians have joined the efforts by becoming publishers themselves which is true a lot of librarians are people in this industry have published me personally working on it yeah i  i'm working on it and you sure there are we're getting there all right this is my area that libraries host maker spaces yes we do but we have an adult maker space and we have one for the tweens and the teens librarians guide you to exactly what you need instead of just getting on google we will take you in house you find the books find the material find the journals or maybe even offer some good sites for them to get the information  sides google in school they did not where i am now you know you can't google librarians do not track your reading or search history to sell you things so what they do what they're referring to if you're on the internet like through amazon sometimes ties of a come up as they are on your facebook they know they start seeing your patterns and you're like you know it is creepy i want to mind their own business  though it says you know like as an example amazon books recommend you know and i'm an amazon prime member recommend you know books but they're in it for the money library or the last ones and this is particularly true i can say i know it's a little bit more difficult in a school life worry but particularly in a public library librarians do not censor right there are little bit more issues when working in a school library their children read to the things that they have to go through in order to add things to their collection whereas we are a public library and it is our job to make sure that we have everything available to the public and so it's not our job to censor you are absolutely right so we continue to provide benefits that are both tangible such as community spaces human interaction and harder to quantify access privacy and freedom hello made in good fun intellectual freedom i'm very inspired now are you  able to even say that that's coming up next not this coming saturday the following saturday on the twentieth yet this is our second year of doing it and what i liked about it is like your animal fair where we get organizations together in this case we get preschools together you know to come in set up tables have information to give out in the people there to represent them to talk about what they offer so that parents can see what is available in our township make good choices for their child i'm sure how many times do we get asked in this is one of the things that prompted doing something like this how many times do we get asked for recommendations preschools we do very do you know of any preschools where you recommend any preschools and we don't we're not about to know there are so many good ones but what that's what i say i said there are so many good ones we are so blessed in this community but the important thing is to look at each and every one and pick what's best for your child right because because they all offer things little differently they all have really good qualities but somehow different hours that might not work for you and adelaide think so this is nice or it's like they want to start up right because there are some you know you just realize when you know you put your well in our business we realize it too but putting your kids through preschool you start realizing there's different styles right you some might be very formatted in structure and the other one is more you know learn on your own like one big giant maker space and find your own you know it so it's whatever have some fun things going on we have at least i think it was ten to twelve pre schools great for sure i know for sure i sent up ten and then they had a question about tube so i didn't put them on there because i didn't wan all right so this is a brand new program over the summer i had a group site about the high school students from our high school science club they came and approached me and they said they really wanted to start working in the library and doing more kind of community  outreach and offer some kind of science class for kids and i said we really have a need for more programs for our tween age and we consider that like fourth or fifth grade through spelt sixth grade so like we're focusing mostly in that murray kids unlike when they get out of school  and so it's going to be called spark science for we and it's going to be all student led by our our high school science club and then we do all kinds different hands on experiments and things like that and using things that people will have in their homes so they can do it again with their permission later says vote for me from now until the end of the school year the third thursday of the month from four to four forty five so you can get your walking passes for mcmurray you can come on over and learn some science you can register on line so we ask that you do sign up for that that way we can get an idea of our materials but it we're really excited and again it's going to be completely led by our high school science club members which when they were talking about different things they wanted to do they're like speaking  different language to me because i'm not very science educated and they are like super subtly the least until a super future scientists of the world really are amazing so what these the knowledge these kids have some exciting to work with that even if we had like if you had the not like the knowledge about science that you're talking about how quickly it changes anyway and there i had to have i mean the young ladies men young men and ladies are women that they have to keep up with it you know for school and to keep you know you know i can't think of the word i'm thinking competitive yeah to keep competitive it's a tough world and they do plenty does that actually does compete in different science competitions of best describe it but so they wanted to start doing less they want to start focusing more on how they can only reach the communities this is how they're going to start some really excited and it's always great for us to be a partner with the students and things and so you know and use their knowledge so oh absolutely so you like working with the kids for sure so that they are excited about that in any way that we can partner yes speaking of partnering this is nice partnership this is ok i know we count every year is this five i think so we've been doing it for much as long as i've been there and i says my six years six full year so i would say five so ok for the last five years for take your child to the library day anti bullying and do great songs work with the kids and national take their kids to the library day is always the first saturday of february so you can you know log it in on your phone  and then put it in like the first saturday like so when you put down what does that day have yearly yeah yeah that's i was to say on february third so the first saturday you can put that in put josh and dad peter's township library and th time it's always usually about the same they usually start they start performing at noon but we have other activities going on you can put that in your thing like a you do a birthday and anniversary and make it in and it is  the i love them so much and we never even have they as they've made in this unless something would happen that we couldn't have them anymore they assume now right and they look forward to it this is become a tradition for them  and fun right so it's just they have a really well range of material that yes a lot of that on it's like more like upbeat kind of rock music the kids love it they'll be dancing and oh and definitely oh we forgot to mention you know how like if you feed them they w yet cookies are involved we'll have a little cookie reception with them after their performance which gives the kids opportunity to meet two wonderful role models yeah they're  i know but anyways so and it's different challenges we are doing something like this similar to this for adults that ours is just a little she tweets a little bit to make it fun for teens so they're sixteen challenges so more than one a month ones like read a banned book read  and when you read her book you'll come in and just see one of us them will stamp your bookmark and then when you get every book that you read for this challenge you'll get a chance to win a prize basket and we're not going to we're going to it because it's all year we're going to do like multiple baskets throughout the year and so the same basket sitting all year round all year every like three months will graduate oh oh and then and then we'll connect it to our in the summer all connected to the teens are reading program and some i with those baskets on and then when you get halfway through the challenge and you read eight bucks you get to pick out a free bran new book to keep because we have a nice supply of books we like to give away and then when use completed but even if you do get all sixteen books read we have a grand mystery pri have the entire year so you know some kids are able to read a lot of books at one time maybe my do the bulk of it over this of a part of your summer reading that's fine too but a really fun thing that we're adding this year just to kind of broaden your horizons i love it reading shows me a lot of fun moving on and i would just like really walking through the shelves and i'd seen a book who had just gotten in i'm like well that's a title for you and i said to linda one of yeah why don't we go through our shelves and pull out books that you know you should also judge a book by its cover  by its title however there are some very special titles in our collection that yeah we wanted to bring up so go ahead yeah we're going to have fun with it and again i'm so glad you said that never judge a book by its cover or its title and some wait a minute that because walter the farting dog yeah this is called a fart this is so gross dr proctor's fart powered or bubble in the bath well i saw that was in your bin and i'm so glad you
