that's rude are you people talking there it's important you want to donate how much ok is that with four or five zeroes oh i like five yeah all right well thank you and yes  we will send you a complimentary book in the mail thank you for your remark yeah oh excuse me that was somebody that you didn't really need to hear all right thank you for your donation peters township public library  certainly rude to talk on the phone especially when you are on air i hope you had a good reason i did you know sometimes you have to do what you have to do you know it was the last time we were together we talked about donating on what was it september september tenth and and i nice and i said if we don't get enough money that we were going to do a telethon so you are having people call you with and you know what that's nice wait a minute and also to let you know personal phone number one mention this last time but since we were kind of talking about the giving thing this is one thing i wanted to mention that came up this summer at community day and the league of women voters of washington kent county well let me just say this is from the american lot this is a quote from the american library association and i love how they described and i think it just puts it just puts the point right there if you never really understood what it was about banned books banned books week emphasizes the freedom to choose or the freedom to express one's opinion even if that opinion might be considered orthodox or unpopular and importance of ensuring the and vale ability of those orthodox or on popular viewpoints to all who wish to read them and that was a quote from the american library association and when they were talking you know if you go back in history we see as you know that the majority of the banned books are children's books and many of them award winning books and it's for all kinds of random reasons that i'd love to have a i'm going to ask you question in this but the two things that happen is when of a book you know they're trying to ban it the challenge you know the challenge happens up and so you've got a person or a group and and they want to challenge it for whatever reason to remove or restrict material based upon the objections of a person or group that's a that's the challenge and then if it gets banned of course they remove all the the material and challenges  you know they don't know all the challenges obviously don't turn into banning the book but they write but they you know they you know there are a time but i love this line too ok ready this is your pat on the back  could due to the commitment of librarians teachers parents students and other concerned citizens most challenges are unsuccessful and most materials are retained in the school curriculum or library collection goods and you know i have you can go on with examples and stuff i mean even you know a book that was banned sylvester in the magic pebble because it's about animals in different professions and they happened to have a pig that was a police officer and they the police of course didn't like that they thought it was you know negative in you know against authority i mean but but that's really how all this you know everybody has different things and you know kurt feeling more than hurt feelings but you know so my question then not that you really have to totally give me an answer but i mean just for discussion because what the american library association how they answered this especially the police to the police officers that wanted that book  banned because of the pig being a police officer they responded by revising their policies but not in the way the officer said hoped they instead clarified their opposition to all censorship stating that material proscribed or removed because a participant or doctrinal disapproval library should challenge censorship in the fulfillment of their responsibility to provide information and the light and mint and i totally agree the make the biggest thing up and book part and open and this is what the american library association stresses is banning a book and taking a book out of a library  infringes on your freedom respect right so in the public library you know we have these materials and your choice whether you use them not that yes we kind of like to  believe the twenty first larry twenty seven is national ban books week and we'll be celebrating our freedom to read i'll be having a whole display of banned books both teen books adult books children's books like the harry potter series week for sure but anyways the teens all have a display and if they check out any band book during the whole month of september they're going to get a ticket now have a basket where they can actually win a basket full of books that have one point been challenger gray and i love period when the the book and there's all kinds of you know it just made me think of even with the banned books in the freedom of whatever but when you look back even like it videos now i mean they're not like banning videos but now do you know i get more questions now in today's time about videos in the appropriateness of the raid ever and the funny thing is a lot of them are disney movies and kids movies like the one time i wanted to do classics last summer and i did all does classics that i felt that the children you know you grow up and you want them to have seen and read and you know  that i had a father and he has every right to complain he has every right to feel the way he does that with surprise that i was showing it because in it the little backwards and i thought you know that was the time period  it was made when i was growing up and i saw that i don't think that dawned on me but i think well now too we're more aware of like the unhealthiness right through anyway it can just go runs the gamut doesn't ever know you never know fast forwarding and all month i kept forgetting to bring this up on our show but i did mention you know during the summer that we were having a special guest come to the library celebrating his seventy fourth day the batman came to the library it was a huge success the kids loved it you'll see pictures in the township magazine if you haven't already regarding batman day but here is that man with a mini joker and many batman so you can see that as he came to the library one thing he said and i thought i would maybe have him cued up to set up you never know what a dog is going to say but the one thing he says is that i've just met you and i love you which is that so dog  started last year just kind of to see what happens i remember when we were planning it i was like you know if i could get like three or five different organizations in the community to come out for that i would be so happy and we have fifteen this year we have eighteen and possibly more before that stop before the actual time comes so it's really a great way to we will have animals there that are up for adoption will have therapy dogs there so you can learn about getting your personal pet involved in therapy dogs are hopefully going to have a scent dog they're doing a demonstration because animals are amazing and what they can do for people you know and it is really really interesting i do have a bunch of books a library about pets that i will have out to get us excited and i did bring a b want to have something to do so i don't watch it and i'm going to learn about unusual animal friends so while yours like talking and promoting i'm going to keep myself because that i don't know what i want there is really a great way but we we love partner with the community and with the different animals organizations we're having some stores come the beginning some free samples for you and your animal security have pets it's great if you're thinking about getting a pet it's great or if you just love animals and want to come and visit and ma a donation we're going to get collecting donations for the washington area i mean society and pets can come and not like you're going to bow to say pets can come in all variations like for example we have how to talk to your cat the librarian can sometimes can be you know they do their own thing dogs are always up in your face the cats kind of do their own thing but this will teach this book but if you read this book it says find out what your cat is really  saying and talk back and we did do a partnership with animal friends we did a video conference with them and the person from male friends and saying how cats talk with their tails you know their tail is off they're very alert they're happy or
