ashamed and i miss linda and we are here to tell you what is going on in the children's department the young adult the partment and bring it right to you in your living room and we always have a lot to do  just even for a contest i can't think of it you know i mean wow now and also because we laugh yeah and when of us would die because we joke right thing that was fun that i was a block party once and for all the kids it was a little girl i today story comes from here comes i went right past it again it comes from the united kingdom right over here and this is the story that i wanted to tell last time but couldn't find the picture i still i can't find the picture because we are in a dungeon with no internet so the dead zone exactly and so i want to tell this story and then i'm going to send the picture to kelsey as she it suggested earlier and she'll probably put it on ok right  yeah yeah because i think what's going to happen is she'll put that on while we're talking and then our faces will be blocked or been ok but we won't take it personally ok but i want to tell you the story i really wish i had there was a woman that from the united stairway and i know i've seen this before but hers was really cool all the way up this picture this if you will in your head and your imagination she had thirteen steps and she painted each step as a spine of a book ok yeah i have seen that this one was really interesting though she did it she and her husband's favorite books they were mostly hers that sounds like she was the really big reader and what she did is she went and got the spines of the original books that she read it from right you know i mean like if you read say gone with the wind whatever year it was you know how because they're constantly changing right she went and dug out everything that she needed to do you know we needed to put on there to so she did that so she has all the spines she said the hardest part was and i was looking at it because most of the spines of writing was like this but some spines of the writing was on sideways so she said that was hard it took her think this was bad for thirteen steps and when you see this picture a very intricate oh my gosh i mean she's quite the artist and i'm it took her thirty five hours over the course of six weeks and she did it all by yourself along the you know getting everything here let me give you some of the the title here is the titles that in your imagination you can picture now and that you might see i see those back before them excited to see the picture and when you're talking all my gosh it is it's so cool and like walking you know into a library but here are some of the her favorite ones that she has on the good lord of the  here's my question for high school kids it's ok this is summer ok and you guys cannot or whatever this is the summer and everybody wants to enjoy the summer and this year the summer started a little later for the township if you know that you need to really have a require you have a required read for next year when you read it in the summer if you knew what it was or there's like no school work in the summer right yeah  really crazy history crazy history but fun yeah palestinian all right moving on so summer we were talking about some reading and actually the summer is almost over so if you do have a required reading for the summer then you probably should read it pretty soon because take take the time a ticking away and that with that being said our summer reading program which has been so much fun oh my god is wrapping up my gosh insane yeah i like it in a nice way in a nice and nice insanity it is good and we have been so busy and i don't know if if we're lucky when the weather is so yucky and humid and stuff you know where we are  means that our summer reading store which is sometimes the highlight of the summer for our kids because they're payoff for reading so much throughout the summer is coming up it's going to be the week of the to third week in twenty second come and redeem all your hours you spend reading for some really cool prizes oh my gosh like our closet i know the thing at the scene i know who've been a key although i feel like a paddling around all i know i just feel like oh my gosh how much stuff that we have and the kids are going to make out the one thing it and i always like every now and then you'll get somebody that will come in and be like well i read this summer and you are part of that they have to have had been a part in we helped you keep track of your points and then you get rewarded so if you did not do that and you're sitting there right now thinking oh my gosh that sounds like so much fun why didn't i do that mom why could not i then do it next year not every year of the summers are fun it is a lot of really cool prizes though i can't wait to get that story out yeah look at  related all sports related things in our store very cool oh and then soon after that all here well actually this is going to start before then august eighth we're going to start signing up for fall right now and it seems early i always like to try to get like get it started before the last week to do you know on the you made me on the last week of the programs because we have a lot of our friends are already there and then they can start planning their programming yeah and so we always had some really cool special stuff going on too we just had a huge daniel tiger night last last week or the week before and the magician oh yeah that awesome edition we found her again luckily  i kept showing them away don't buy me don't buy so lots of really cool stuff going on i'm going on all summer or all all year round and with that being said i do want to put a little quick blurb in a week after that one thing big that happens every year this is maybe the fourth year and then crazy to do for a while now it's me the fourth annual animal fair at the library and this is my favorite program of the year i absolutely love it it will a day full of wonderful animals  organizations from our community a lot of shelters will come over stores groomers even had a doggy doo doo cleaner up community what is  business i go yeah oh this is that the one that they come to your house yeah i'm not your yard yeah if you would just let it sit there though for like what do they come once a week or something how gross would that be like you're the only pick up our yard once a week or the day thinking you know my schedule work and all the time and running around and all this stuff and i thought this isn't going to work but it wasn't my decision it was tim's so he's impressed i'm still going to marry him he's like wow you must really love for me baby oh my gosh oh so anyway as i will be at the animal fair and i don't have to worry about adopting anything i learn a lot i can learn a lot and like all  there's always some free samples of like treats and yeah i would get dog things and send them to my sister that dog but now i'm sorry about her luck yeah or my own yeah it's gonna be fun yeah that'll be september twenty four two at the library it's usually an indoor and outdoor event weather permitting and it's huge last every year it seems to getting bigger last year we had i think like eighteen or nineteen organizations like all indoors because it was a bad bad weather that day so lots of fun  and if you are listening and you are somehow connected to some local animal organization and we have not contacted you contact us because every year good point new organizations i find out about that somehow are the cracks that i missed and i don't want anyone to feel unwelcome to participate right all organizations are welcome that i will say this as a visitor to the animal fair you are not allowed to bring your own pets good now we get that question yeah our family pets at home we will have a dog will is there we do have information about the trainers will be there canales like i said lots of free treats and prizes and stuff and if you're just name a well i know i will again i like to do i like to come anyway but why are you actually missed it you were out of town was that last year there before that you thought about adopting a dog but while you're at it i think maybe it was next already that i was going to do that dog so he probably he luckily he has a good home now while he was two yeah demos but anyway i learned a lot and so i was glad that i had the opportunity to be  k tell me about some ok tell you about book yeah ok i want to get my notes on this one because i looked up the author on this because i found this to be very interesting this book something around it must be donkey i guess or whatever it is in a says the yourself there is no one better and on the back it says i'm sweet and sour not a little flour i'm a girl i'm a girl i'm a girl right away you look at it in the reason that she is all excited on here and saying she's a girl now what color is she blue so what would blue like the stereotype i gotcha i'm so this is what makes that interesting she's saying that she's a girl and she is but you know they're showing that she has boy boy some  it's not even what she's trying to do is get rid of the stereotype this is saying sugar and sweet and all that stuff and you're supposed to be quiet and be good and she's lallana now going and you know and then you have the boys that you know aren't loud and outgoing you might be so it's such a good book but let me tell you about this this was this was based on her sister they're both asian and the sister was always mistaken for a boy because she had her hair cut really short she was never allowed to let it grow and talk of the clothes coast oh yeah i know i had did you have yucky hairdo say i'll tell you my story go ahead and ok well but go up to swap pictures and her sometime play because she would always have short hair and everybody would mistake her for a boy because her hair made her you know that whatever you know so she didn't like being told you know that she was a boy they'd say oh here little boy you could have this in here little boy well the author decided that she got frustrated watching her sister go through this experience that while i are the kids still being taught it's one way for a girl and one way for a boy right boys don't like pink you know girls aren't supposed to get other supposed to like pink boys are supposed to like blue but she used an example she was coloring with one of their  his or her sister's friends and she handed this boy was a boy and handed a purple crayon to a boy and he looked at it and went oh that's too girly ok so already you know so she also said because you know we with our kids and you try to be careful i actually really tried to be careful with that with my kids you know not to limit them by gender because you just like cut them off and try and have this world because you're a girl you can't have this world because you're a boy right and if you cross each others the girls are called taunt tomboys and the boys are called sissies so she went through that whole thing and she comes from a family of strong women and she wanted to show that and i'm going to i'm going to do a spoiler alert can i do a spoiler alert on the day she goes all the way through being just on you know living life and at the very end a little boy comes up to her looking more different color more pincushion everything in the book and over and goes i'm a boy she goes i'm a girl i'm a girl i'm a girl and he goes i'm a boy i'm a boy i'm a boy because he probably got rights they can for the other thing but i want to tell you this could have been more perfect today i went to b and b you know that's how this and that i want to hear your hair thing i take all my books and everything basket of books but i took my egg shakers that i have and i went around because i did a couple songs with them and i let the kids pick them out so i just grab a handful so that it doesn't take forever and i'll show them different colors and i'll go around to make sure that they've got in the sort and to pick from this honest i swear it just happened today this is funny and i got to a little boy and i was holding out these colors there was like yellow blue red and pink he picked up the pink one he said i want the pink one the little boy beside him looked at him and said pink pink you're not supposed to like pink but you know what i was very proud of the boy just blew it off and ignored it and kept the pink one that was like whatever color you want that doesn't as a color just have to shake all that off you know i don't there is a lot of stereotypes there and i was just talking about that with my friend that watches lucas because in that's just the stereotypical thing like for over reason it's a lot easier to go for a boy to for a girl to go boy than it is for a boy to go girl and for it to be accepted so for example no one thinks much about a little girl playing a took cars and trucks but a little boy has barbies than people like look at it funny so that's what they care yeah they're called oh look at that sis right or look at that tomboy and that's so wrong and that's what she's saying because she even said like the thing with the cutting when you cut them off like you know you miss each other's world what the wrong with a guy you know with the boys playing the doll and doing this stuff and i had an older brother so he did play with me my toys however he altered hell things were played so i had this doll how to play that in a different way while i had this doll house and it was beautiful doll house and now sean is seven years older so now we're talking he is like a high mom's house and i went into the playroom where the doll houses and archer and julia other plans it all health and the dad's got his head in the toilet and i was like no it started on he's like i thought him how to play dollhouse i so can't wait to see your brother the ghost of adi that's funny but talking about the i am under ok this is one of you know there's always these things in your head that never go away and  old story i was probably five years old and and when i was five in kindergarten and my mom got me what they called a dorothy hamill haircut oh yeah i was big no one's going to know what that is that's one of our  in a far more store with they don't exist anymore either which to those you that are young this is similar to a wal mart would be some in far more and they had a video rental store inside of their insider store where you can go and you could rent a tape that you would have like at your local right mary yes just like we thought we were out of the videos and what i wanted to check out of what i wanted to rent and i had been you know my dad and my brother were somewhere else and i was just looking through the videos and of course you know this is a very early ninety's and in the very early ninety's i were nothing but something with ariel on it not much has changed twenty years now your thought so i have my little mermaid  and this little boy had gotten separated from his family and he's looking all around and he thought i was his brother oh and i had my purple ariel sweater on how do you approach to life he was tell me there you are and i'm like it's new to me because i just discovered how fun it's going to this is called this is by the woman who wrote the monument fourteen trilogy which is very popular kind of dystopian trilogy this book is called sweet k and it there is a cruise for both going on cruises this year so i thought of the appropriate talk about cool that is go that is out and you get to go this cruise for it's a luxury celebrity filled cruise to lose weight ok so people are all going on this cruise to lose weight and they're going to try out the first night and she stays in a room and all the people that went to dinner are starting to act a little different and that she's finding out that she's just ill too seasick she hasn't tried the sweetener but all of the people and they are on this cruise to try this we're going to lose weight and they're all doing it like crazy because they want to lose all this weight they had by trying the sweetener and the more and more the there possibly now zombie things happening on this luxury cruise you know have you heard of the stepford wives i mean they did a current current one within the last whatever point ten years or whatever right but there was an older the original version i actually liked better i thought it was creepier but when you were doing that and she's the only one that's not doing this right or and so you know and the one woman was the only one that wasn't like those mechanical you know zombie like reitman so that sounds good yeah i thought so there was book talk at a convention thing that training that i was at and i was like that sounds like a really cool cool one for you know and i think the city had a lot of different types of readers oh yeah sweet by and annie lee born well i'll tell you what we were going to be wrapping it up but i wanted to say one thing when i'm on my
