nine somewhere in the united states we are in the united states and actually this takes part in virginia virginia tech of all places oh yeah fun goes to school when my son goes to school so this is where they interviewed the people that i'm going to talk about r k ready after news today i'm so excited ok here's here's the title all right why do people who love librar mixture between a public library and the academic library the academic library they're talking about where they interviewed the students is like i said for junior tac which is really cool because our director her mrs lee actually was very instrumental in getting the virginia tech library up and going to shoot and work there for many many years before coming here exactly ok so here's the big news this is from the chronicle blog network so they're watching about for the most part if i didn't think everybody wanted to i don't know what to talk about the new all right so this is a blog and as a parent this obviously is not a blogging for dummies they talk about you know again why do people love that love libraries love libraries and they they interviewed a group of people and they say that in that it's not a surprise that there's a kind of a library community of library people doing library things which sounds really cool because when we see we have a lot of regulars you know that come in and meet there are people that come in every single day and they have their routine and and it becomes a social but this is what you know this is going to talk about a little bit as well and they interviewed one woman and she said that sometimes she likes going to the library because sometimes  surprises you never know what a library is going to offer which we know that in our case we never know what we're going to do we interesting it is and that's cool because in here she said like you know one time she went to the library and there was like this dog petting thing i'm like i'm reading it so i don't know what we do that we do that i want massive massive so i made a surprise i like that and then another thing in this is really where the shift is coming for the library shifting it's time to shift our thinking from library commons where you're thinking about the space and everything that the library has to library communities i love that because our libraries are with this one really good line i like that they talk about library surprises she said there's something about libraries as places that bring different people together and this this line i like which i think really has to be a library's motto is where we we can i like this we cannot be everything to everyone but we can be very good at being some things to many people and to remember that we appreciate because we engage and support a multitude of different people with different diverse backgrounds different needs and everything in for us you know i know in the children in the team department where we mainly work with that age group arion librarian like in music man yeah those days are gone yeah for sure especially in our community we try to be up and happen in anything like that and i love it because it's it's our people that love library yeah right library light well taken all right so it's just really that was just really nice way of patting our library on the back  we were off because we do ok well coming up kind of going with that about why people love libraries and bringing community together we're really excited because in november we're having a very big  authors program we're bringing in a lot of really awesome young adult authors to do a presentation and for you know high school middle school students as well as really anyone interest you fell from heaven how the very beginning the first couple lines first couple sentences in a book what that means for the book like as a reader how are you going to feel what the authors are thinking about when they put those first couple lines because sometimes you get in less you're committed to reading it after a chapter or two if you're not into that book you might put it down right it happens a lot yeah show scenes and kids yet but it's also two so this is kind of talking about that and it's really neat we're going to have  legally all why authors have all their books in the library and they're all for the most part local authors some even live right in the township so that's pretty cool too so they'll be coming in and they'll do a book signing as well so if you want to purchase one of their books and get signed that makes an awesome gift by the way a signed book from an author but really it's of this we call to hear what they have to say so i brought a couple books that they actually have on their list th going to be talking about so you and i can have a little bit of our own discussion and i know i could be completely wrong and maybe what i decide that they're going to do isn't even what they're doing in my mind at all it's going ok so they have a whole list of these books that they're going to be talking about ok and i'm going to read for you the first couple lines ok and we're going to disk so the first one i have here is speak by laurie halse anderson are you familiar with this book no i am not ok this is an excellent book i actually had to read it when i was getting my library degree and i've read a couple times since then i do it my teen book club that's why it's a book on it so i was excited to see that they were going to talk about this focus is a really interesting story and i'll tell you more about  what it's about after i read the beginning and because i want to see if you what you say m k tension welcome to mary whether high it is my first morning in high school i have seven new notebooks a skirt i hate and  stomach ache the school bus was as to my corner the door opens and i step up and the first pick up of the day the driver pulls away from the curb while i stand in the aisle where to sit there been about i've never been a backseat waste case if i sit in the middle stranger could sit next to me if i sit in the front it will make me look like a little kid but i figure it's best chance i have to make eye contact with one of my friends if any of them have decided to talk to me yet ok now what do you want from me so after listening to that pick up line to that henri ok what are your thoughts would you read it what do you think the author is going for i like it i guess all the sudden just see that turmoil that teens go through you know when they're getting ready to go to school and they don't always talk about it picture feeling it on the inside i can picture myself on the bus right you know and going through that process yeah yeah so yeah i'm just thinking yeah that would be interesting to read right  this is the story is actually about so love this book it's a little bit on the darker side i'd recommend it for more older teens it's about this girl and something very traumatic happens to her between her eighth and ninth grade year and she's at a party something happens she calls the police the party's busted so in result all of her friends hater and that's why she said if any of them want to talk to me yet because  talking to her so now not all issued to go through something traumatic she's entering high school with no one right so it's kind of and to the point where she shuts down and basically stops speaking that's why the focus is called s new book we don't actually college yet i just met him last week at our conference so he is also a p a author unfortunately he's not coming as part of the program but i was excited to tell him hey we're talking about your bogata this big author program so for him that's pretty neat because his colleagues are reading this right and to the point where they want to share it right and i think that's a very awesome this very awesome so this book was actually the basis for a one season lasting t v show on c called intelligence and i guess the show was released around the time the book was released because like i said this is a pretty new book is i think it's either this yes is from two thousand and fourteen probably when they're publishing  wearing a stiff blue jumpsuit and handcuffs carl with no expression on his face and waited to see what they were going to do to see him that to him this time they're going to come down hard on him the judge might even dismiss the case straight to adult court and then karr will be looking at jail time as in real jail time nude juvie no more boys men the murderers everything he'd be lucky to survive a month he did something bad really bad right yeah and you know and thinking whether you're going to juvie you know where they're going to be easier on you if you're on very keen but if he's on the borderline and the pending on what it was yeah but they could actually you know get an like that i like how it started because i now i want to know what happened and how he is how it's going to come down on him so in comparison i think it's going to interesting like both of these books that one's a from a girl to start boys to talk to one from girls like them but they're both really cool that they really drive you know that you know something's comment right right like that so phoenix island is actually when i had a chance to read it all the way through yet but it kind of reminds me of a off to this island like a detention island i know off the coast and i stayed but doesn't have to follow any u s laws so a lot of brutality is going down for this boy a lot of horrible you know kind of punishment things just like in holes you know the boys also well he's actually accused of a crime he didn't commit and goes and lives in this boy detention camp right and they like make the boys dig these big holes and everything like that so this one is going to be pretty interesting like like it says no phones attacks the e mails on television no internet no escape well welcome to phoenix violence do you know that alone would make any always looking for books to recommend to our male young adult readers because there are a lot and sometimes i don't want to read as much this is a really fun book for that a lot of action  not cracker comes out in many forms and i'll show you we have multiple multiple copies of it is there have been the not cracker ok so if that wasn't enough for you then book course we have not cracker on like do you still have that not crack or a nice d v d this is like actually not the other day it was in the summer funny because i was thinking i had it i'd feel really bad no no it was in the summertime which i guess they were having some christmas in july then i was going to have this plaguing but we're not having a playing so here is some c d s for you to listen to the next cracker suite you can you know get your boss the right  local local and you just see the families and the kids are so proud but what we are having in this is going to be make it the date right developer fifteen so we're really starting the season early but this is at the beginning of the really getting into it for their show the pittsburgh youth ballet is coming to the library and it is and they are doing a preview of the nutcracker so right in our lobby we're going to be beautiful and they're going to dance that little ballerina's will be there the music and everything is i think they're going to be very time with it too very it will be very festive i'm excited about that and that's what's nice about that that's a saturday morning and it's at ten o'clock in the morning which i you're up and you go what a nice way because you start your weekend right and your holidays i mean i know starting it early and yeah so if this that and then we'll make sure we have all this out so if somebody went out the next cracker i do have a collection and that crackers and i was going to bring one and then all the sudden i kind of like spaced out a little bit and then when i thought about it i thought oh my gosh i'm so not ready to go through my christmas stuff yet you know so i did ok what you're coming up with ok so another thing it's actually going to do in this one is like our resident who love her like she i mean we all love science but not quite like my god comes up with the most i'm having them read but this month it will be discussing the diary of a young girl and frank yeah so the true story very deep that i think good for discussion very good for discussion and the girls are about that age and you know it's hard to fathom because we're so fortunate in aren't you contrary what she went through as a child and i think it's really cold you know that they had  this is monday night november tenth we meet at six o'clock we have a blast i have the best best group of girls and all of them are to find ways and that will be fine you can do a lot of interesting activities and education with the keeps going strong is so awesome and so for november we're going to be reading carnival candlelight look up on the cover and that is so jack and any i have a new mission they are sent to let's see i think it's  it in a while is the pot for breeding grounds in it the best i love it it's not the case you don't know what pasta reading is weak at a group of therapy dogs that come in to the library and are big multipurpose room and they spread out and everybody's got their own space and they are just going to lie right now with their owners the most amazing beautiful dogs and send kids sign up for twenty minutes time slots they come in they can pick a book that will pull books for them or they can pull can your neighborhood you need to learn how to approach that exact are legal in most and this is a great experience for that because they are specifically trained and you know they're wonderful dogs yeah they're so and i just love it i know it is the best program we always get a really good turnout and that's one that you can call you know and find you know get your child signed up for a twenty minute slot on t v and those are and i say the next one is november eighth we dance a month on whether we want it starts at ten o'clock and goes you know every twenty minutes and it's twenty minutes of your time and it is an invaluable i love it just wonderful and i even tell the younger ones like when i visit the kindergarteners i say i do you guys are still learning how to read it you might not be confident all you don't have you can just bring a book and just share the pitchers well and it's monthly so make sure you don't mess it for sure is that but for now i think so i think we're running out of time but i hope we'll see all our friends in the library we have some good stuff going on absolutely i know two people will be there
