and we'll bring it right to you into your living room especially because we want them to have it and it's cold and you don't have to go outside yes exactly right we'll bring it to you twice a month and you know when it's warm in the library so comes the library anyway that's true it's united states last time the last segment for march we talked about the united states and the award winners of all the big library wards today i'm going to talk and this is kind of talking a little bit ahead of the game but we've kind of mentioned snippets of it along the way so i wanted to talk about it and this just came out hot off the press which cracks me out of the school library journal it's february's edition and they are already talking now if they can focus on summer reading we can start talking about it because i want i actually want the families to get really excited in the kids to gear up but also explain a couple different ways it could go now  i'll show you this picture i like how they do it because they're talking about super summer reading heroes of summer rose of that on there so they're talking already and their issue about this year's summer reading participants all over the country will explore the ways in which every hero has a story now i think that when you first think about all the fun things that we could do we thought about it everybody was excited that it sounds like a very fun theme to have a lot of fun with it this summer already gearing up with already ordered things set up but it can be more than let me about a princess a princess in black recess magnolia but they get they get lots of oh here's a picture of it and they will be able to see it on there but super fab saves the day extraordinary warren and ne gaiman's fortunately the milk but the reason i'm bringing it up besides all of those wonderful books about superheroes is that we can and will also incorporate superheroes in our everyday lives right i mean every black heroes local heroes everybody every child every person should have their own special heroes whether it's you know your dad is your hero or the fireman is your hero like kids or the right local you know officer dave or you know everybody's got their heroes so it'll be more than just you know things with capes although with things with katie we gotta still enjoy our things away is true we're hoping to get kate chris today will depend of course always on the weekend you know how the crime rate of gotham city is yes always worse than here which is a good thing all right so i just wanted  but harry potter is another popular juvenile unknown adult book series and harry potter is definitely the hero in those stories and i feel like whether you're in the fifth grade or even if you're an adult even though the harry potter books have been done for a while the movies have been done they're still not going out of style i don't think they're going to go style any time in the near future for people of all ages light  selling of those books and stuff like that adults where their children are they're like they are big deal and i decided that i'm going to continue that because if people thought well yes i might as well use a program can i just prove your point by saying one thing yes as actually recently and i'm sure you know it happens all the time but i would say within the week i had a girl come in and she asked i love it when they say do you know do you know where the harry potter books all i showed her and i said and she went oh and she got all excited and she said i want the first one you know and she was like you know kind of you know which one was the first one which is sorcerer stone and i'm like up like i just won the lottery so you know winning the lottery in the library is getting getting the book that you want exactly as well so there's a popular board games seen it said as video clips and actual board games that has been there's a lot of harry potter editions of those games and we have many of them so we're going to have for the teens a harry potter scene it challenges of you think you know your harry potter trivia make sure you come and check that out there obviously beef prizes trivial pursuit like was always very popular and that's about things back in the cobwebs of my mind you know it doesn't hurt for children or young adults to come back in and play these games and try to remember  saturday march twenty eighth it's a saturday afternoon the first time i've done a saturday because usually do i usually two evening ones but honestly here was part of my decision making first of all it is calendar and what's going on in the schools and stuff to try to make it the best where the most people can't i will enjoy it so then we can yeah and this year i had to try it on a saturday afternoon which will see what happens i can imagine it should be good like a week the week before easter then the following week the first week of april and we'll talk about it again but michael mentioned it now so that they can you have two choices to to sign up either the saturday one or the one in april and i say i don't have it on here wednesday night i think the first week of april it's one of the evenings usually about six six thirty runs forty five minutes quick little story time and everything and then oh new attraction the share how good a oh my god almost got through my whole spiel without even a new attraction every year we try to make things better and most were wonderful it's hard sometimes people ask how do we t ourselves well here's how we top ourselves we came up with it this year and we've we are going to have hopefully both times the easter bunny the easter bunny is coming and it will depend on their schedule the library and go on an egg hunt then have you seen charlie in the chocolate factory the johnny johnny depp it's kind of like dark yeah it is but i like johnny depp he makes me laugh because he's so bizarre you know but in that one where the little squirrels are saying blessed thank you you're welcome well our last episode we talked about the fact that we're starting our spring sign ups and now we're getting into our spring programs and the new programs actually start on march twenty third day do so make sure you have signed up for them again and you can sign up over the phone that's on upright to make a special trip to sign up we do need you to sign up and with the egg hunt as well especially with the big programs like that we really do need you to sign up because we don't want kids to not get any eggs right so please write please register time and and register for i'd always program starting an easter bunny has always on those know what here's what i i just wanted to make mention i had a woman come in the beginning of the week it was monday or tuesday they just moved in into the area from out of town and they're all like you know brag but we honestly try to do you know a good job for the community but she had heard so many good things from the neighbors about our library in general our department you know that she came in and she was like is it too late to sign up for you know whatever program and i was like oh you know absolutely not i think we're about halfway through the winter programs at this point and i said you know no we really try not to turn anybody away we don't want to be insane in the rooms but we try not to turn anyone away so she's all excited so i'm like ok you know handor the book that we have the register and make ok put your child's information in there she's putting up the stuff and then and then she just stands there and i'm just very smiling like yeah is there something else you know that i can help you with and she goes well how much is it is or char i mean what's the charge and i'm looking at her going no charge part of just benefits of having a library and you're right it was so nice the only time we very very rarely i could probably count on one hand other than the summer reading program right that we ever charge and even the summer reading program for the entire summer and all of the stuff that they get and they do in the crafts and the prizes five are five bucks and inflation hasn't even raised that you know really stuck to not again not to post but you know i mean people that might not realize some of these things like crafts in particular not necessarily during the summer session but year round it is not a cheap to do for all of our programs right i continue you know we continue to do crafts because we love them and we know the children love them right right they love to make something you know whether it's you know they just love to make things right now i'm not talking you're making major you know whatever's but a token something that will go along with the thing kind of helps reinforce the theme of the books that you just read and things that you just  cool stuff there are libraries that i've been around here that are no longer doing crafts at all yah partly maybe because it takes some time in the me but i ration yeah you know it all the prep and everything and it is come down to the cost because it just sets up right so i'm glad that we still do it and we don't have to charge for it yeah so we're very fortunate we are very fortunate so far  yeah we talked about your bio saying yeah you go first and i first last time and awesome well next month in april i believe april is national poetry month so i probably have held off but i just came across that day and i was really excited new and it's also written as a journal and i like day seven and you can see they kind of doodle in it as well because who doesn't do to write in their journal yeah yeah and it's neat because it goes through the entire this is cool because like a poetry contest yeah it's like for every day for the entire school year really high school or stuff first day of school my favorite easy prey yeah like farkle face kelly wait a minute don't don't read this but i really don't like what she has to say about him so yeah this is person's also be a very quick read because there's not much text per page right so fun nice quick light and i like really daily i like the i like the i mean not that they can keep this book for a year but at the daily idea i really like that like you know how you get those little daily books and you the young adults in this room and that are doing you know the taping and helping us with this show are seniors yes right everybody not that i say well honestly i didn't know that when we were coming in to to get the show ready but i i picked this book because i liked it i thought it was a very it's a lot of pep talks and it's called the kid presidents guide to being awesome in love the brad montague ok where is a get this kid first one life is what happens when you put down your son all right all right my oh my young adults the first one i'll just show you a couple of the pictures what life happens when you put down your phone how addicted are we to our phones everybody is i am i'm i know i know i'll admit it well because i don't have a landline anymore because between that the kids and i we don't need one everybody has a thing things going on your phone to your crew and if they want to get a hold of you oh yeah that's right i mean you use it for more than just gabbing i mean it's my calendar it's absence is that ok here's another one all right words of wisdom follow your passion absolutely important i told my son that when he was all worried about what he wanted to follow and i'm not going to be a billionaire and i'm like follow your passion baby you know if you like if you like what you do sorry not to be in a billionaire would be bad but you know if you like what you do ok now the one guys and gals use your imagination use it use it or lose it as i said oh ask yourself this is a good one when you're preparing or in college especially your freshman year when you're trying to make a decision about majors unless you already knew and ask who do i want to be and that might change oh absolutely oh absolutely it can but see i don't know why i did that one world and i think i might have just one more in here i hope you're all mental even writing these down this is a good one to end this book on it's ok to get discouraged it's not ok to stop  because i think that kids feel like oh everything should just go flow perfectly and they get discouraged and it throws it for a loop right don't stop get this is america the get will start it's awesome it's not really just for kids noting like it be a cute high school graduation and absolutely anything and it has to do i think this started off as some kind of you tube sensation yet exactly because he has some other really bizarre things in here about his visit to the white house but this would be a great really worth it because it may or may not to be the best choice it might hurt other people right and it kind of goes to talk about like what she would possibly do or she could leave her her best friend her former best friend becky yeah sits at the you know the elite table in the cafeteria and pull up a chair beside the dorks you know but can she really be seen with the likes of dinosaur obsessed ok time for one more i think this is a quick one but you know what this right has to be one of my best favorite newest books michael hall it's called red it's a crayon story cute and is so cute you can see it's a crayon in the red wrapper it says red but the crown itself is blue ok so the story it's about all the other crayons and people trying to say you are red ok and he goes you would draw a red raspberry in a drawl or raspberry and it's blue what's wrong you know and everything that he did was blue and they kept forcing him to be something that he was and it is such a  reason ok and for most of his classmates he is the first person they know that has ever passed away or that stuff it is wow but it's an issue that unfortunately kids do have to go through  kid has to go through something hard that helps this will help them that were saying don't go through anything hard you know just because like you may or may not know anyone that passes away but everyone goes through something that's very difficult yeah and when you read about somebody else's difficulties trying to escape your own true very sad but i think it will all you know it's also saying how you know they were changed positively to nice because they knew this kid oh i don't even want to i know we're toast at the end but i'm like i can hardly bum fist on the end but i agree it if you know something good can happen out of it for people to find some comfort or help in their their trials
