library i am a shannon and i miss linda and we are here once again to fill you in on all day going on in our departments of the peters township library so we are doing is on the goings on i like that it just kind of flows nicely not right well i like that we opened it already decorated savva i more or yep we're ready for thanksgiving and you still still have your little tag attached to the top it all you know i told you  dress yeah exactly sorry that is ole bad bad bad bad ok so we're getting serious here yes we are actually going to dive right into it because i think that this this will just put a little gentle push in to getting more things for to all reality stations have begun rolling out to more than ninety libraries throughout california so if we do this like a a partnership between the california state library and virtual reality developer oculus and nonprofit library consortium this also comes out of the illustrious school library journal which i find a lot of articles because it's interesting that a lot of these libraries are going to be nonprofit library consortium they are going to be outfitted with all these or reality hardware and software which is really cool b cause you can go in as a library patron and check these out and what they do is they teach you how to use them and they how you know the libraries maintain them and update them they said that's the most difficult part and then the libraries that get picked to international space station and even experience the meltdown of turn noble first hand so it's crazy what they have offered on their i got to try one p l a yeah and i rode a roller coaster and it was weird  feel like kind of did you know that not so much and i was like when i got all of it they said take seven seven seconds to become fully immersed in that oh all yeah and i was kind of freaks me out yeah yeah but it is cool and so we're hopefully going to do something because i even feel that a little bit even just go into three d movies you know where you're in there you go to also know and you're not even moving beyond where you're like you are and you're like oh my gosh you know you feel like you're going to you know dive off the cliff that they're flying you over so in addition to giving library users access access to the latest educational technologies the california project will provide oculus with data about how people use for reality in libraries  figuring out which tools and software resonate with users how understanding how people put this you know these b r as they're calling it to work help set the stage for wide scale deployments in other educational environments down the line when what they do is do you have to like i said they don't just give it to you they have all these libraries you have to apply to the statewide program you have to make a case for why they would be a good host library and how they might put virtual reality to work cool yeah and if you do i mean it's like waiting for a green right you know and so this is what we would do with it and you know in what a great thing i mean ninety libraries have gotten this so far that's cool so you can come in and do that so the oculus ones are like the best ones and they're like really really expensive they even make like cardboard ones you can pop on your phone and you can download an app and oh yeah i've seen those it's not quite the same not right the same but it does start to give you that experience the last ones are like i know that's intense intense looking so yeah california we're right there with you yeah sure just about oh god that's so good about book club and kindness week we talked last time that r j pull a show is her book wonder is coming out and as a movie this month and because of that we are hosting a kindness week at the library at the in the children's department which we're going to do a lot of fun activities gateway books and a basket and because of that my tween book group is going to be reading book reading wonder and we've read it before when it first came out my book group read it and i've read it several times since but it's not it's one of those that it just has a sweetest message that i think everybody should read it just  get like an attitude check yeah i mean i've good person i think it through books the requirement for life and i make my adult book club read it too because i just think everyone should read up absolutely so we will be discussing it at the book group  interest to see how they do the movie yeah me too it's going to be so good and then because of that like last time they brought up not to show this quickly is that my infamous not i haven't even used the shot i'm so excited we're going to be doing stuff with the kindness of us in their little home and yeah we'll do for kindness we will have all kinds of things going on back in the children's department always fun yeah  yeah and then it has down another one no little do anything for a party

have a good think story time on november twentieth at six thirty i think that's a monday must be an monday night asking if they could bring it if anybody could bring a donation we'll give it to the

tell library most the time we are and because of thanksgiving coming up we also do a just make a quick mention of our special holiday the black friday the day after thanksgiving which in years past we were always been ok and just to make note of that so that's going to be close early on at five on the twenty second and we're close to twenty thirty in the twenty fourth there's also a big sign from our library that says is true mind you but i famous elf on the shelf elf now we have a special elf on the shelf that comes to visit our library and she loves to that's why she comes forward as a librarian on the shelf live in your home or visit your home i should say she visits full library so she watches you at the library and she will be arriving on nov thirtieth and we have a big party the library to welcome her to the library every year she gets to have a different name so we have to name her that night and then what she likes to do is show go back to santa or whatever and tell him what she sees in the library day and when she returns in the next morning she's always reading a different book because like i said she loves to read so that's why she tends to come to our library so we've all come to her back again this year and you can come to the library for a fun party on nov thirtieth at six thirty will be doing to welcome the elf will be reading this story and watch the movie and as i said the up on the shelf if you touch them that's when they become frozen so that they can't go back to they lose their magic please not touch me my magic might go and santa won't hear of i've seen or i know so they lose their special if you touch them one of the more popular like fun holiday things but yeah it is i love it so we have a big party that the end of a number and then

show in all of peter's township library if you like you should read the today show people i personally really like al roker he's like one shoes and everything to show that they're doing more and more i think being more conscientious of books that show diversity and that you know the girls you don't just have to act like you want to be this beautiful little delicate princess that you know you're still a girl you're still whatever and you wear pants and gym shoes and you know it's just it's adorable and i'd like their choice of episode i talked about you know like the fandom culture and things

a lot of history i didn't know about it is huge and people like to like i'm sure with cars play i'm sure people are dressed up like this well this one is by melissa de la cruz who is and so i think

have for that yeah so hot i like it yeah hot off the presses anything about alexander hamilton oh yeah you know the easy readers i've got you know the road easy who was shown that graphic novel that we have a yeah exactly you know you love when something like that happens that ingenious idea all right one of my favorite books too that we read in the girls book group was the one and only i already ordered extra copies for people to come in and read because it's going to be my january my january book pick but it sounds like such a beautiful story like another one of those life reads that you're talking about says my close friends call me read and you can too but for a long time people in the neighborhood have called me the wish tree there's a reason for this and it goes way back to when i wasn't much more than a tiny seed with higher aspirations people come from all over town to adorn me with scraps of paper tags bits of fabric snippets of yarn in the case general jim sock to crack me up each offering represents a dream a desire all longing she's a very physical yeah yeah i just looked at this and i went you know what as soon as i read about it before i even ordered the first copy and then when the copy came in i was like this is for boys and girls for the yeah it's perfect so wonderful i wish katherine applegate rock setting again sounds good to me well before we talk about more books i want to talk about some funny days in the life of a librarian ok so we we keep him in a book about the brain and things that happen to us the library and this i saw in her desk and i when i was getting her package and i was like well i need to talk with us so things happen right and we totally understand that books get damaged we've we laugh a lot because we'll bring in books that there's only five pages left because the dog ate the block like letters like that has happened more than once so the note that came out on this one a says moose got super glued so i don't really know what happened to him but he is glued somewhere i guess there's like superglue all over who yeah so that happened to him so i just kind of that's a good one who knows what's going on sorry my child we also do except donations at the library basically every day you can bring in gently used children's books and we really rely on that for our collection and for our prizes that we give away and sometimes we get some bernstein so yeah it has it's written in english and in spanish so on the top it's in spanish in the bottom is in english so i was excited to find this that is our spanish collection are full in general are different language collections something we're always trying to build  how we talked about reading a book you know i was getting nervous that you were going to going to say like let's read this one before here's the deal now that i know it has spanish in english you read the part in spanish story like a little holiday dory together but i couldn't resist just grabbing this because it is the season and who doesn't love charlie brown charlie brown thinks i love a toast not to mind a vaccine to show the kids when they're cooking up a thanksgiving dinner and
