brought to you by the pierce county library i miss shannon and i am miss linda back to tell you that here we are once again in your living room to give you all the information that you need to know from the children's department as well as young while speaking of the library do you know like last time we talked we were our t shirts because a summer reading program was going to begin so now we're in full swing now i said last time that if we were on the red carpet that we would be really angry at each other for wearing the same thing right so here we are again this time we are little you know wearing the same thing looking like bookends but it's all good isn't it that's how we're over to her we're walking posters for our program time is full full of activity right now and we have programs every single day of the week kids are reading like crazy trying to earn prizes for the end of the summer they get prizes for every hour they spend reading the urn to go shopping at the on the trigger so they're very excited about that we have tons of books going in and out all the time so it's a really fun it is fun it is a fun place to be it's crazy i mean crazy filled with kids so that's what it does make it up last minute because now we have latex together out of expand you should be able to take a wooden skewer that you used to make like kababs right if it saturated vegetable oil you should be able to puncture the balloon with it really and the blue  the kids that were like more anxious they were the ones just popped it while i was going to say were there any kids out there just like taking it like a dagger in john and i like that the key is to make it work as you have to like twist it really slow and like just puncture just right for it to go in and you can actually put it all the way through the balloon in the balloon will still stay inflated and to try it that's really cool and you can put more some kids are going to get a couple skiers before there's finally deflated so that was a lot of fun so we're doing what the cool thing is although i don't recommend this there i don't recommend this but i'm going to put it out there don't do this next summer signing up on the day of the program  tough we don't like to turn anybody away and we won't there were so many people that came in saying can we sign up for the programs on the day that we started and like i said we don't turn anybody away but you know it it's more challenging for us the things that we have to do because we prep before he you know so if it's a difference between twenty kids and forty you know so i mean we do actually drop but they still want to and we  so that is so much fun no time we are who look forward forward to it every year and well you know what i was going to give you a little tidbit but i'm going to wait because i know of something else we're going to talk about and i think it would be appropriate then some zipping my lips ok for library world not only you know do we enjoy hearing them and reading them we feel that we should share this because it it shows everybody the value of the library right how important  because you know with all of the things that are going on ok yeah right other libraries are what other libraries are doing what's happening nationally and with funding and all that stuff all of the world you know we're just one little one little on what little piece of it yes yes ok we had a discussion all right i'm thinking back because you know i can't remember what i had for dinner last night right ok we had a discussion and i think that we were you and i maybe it was during or after my daughter's lacrosse game that we talk but talked about the little free library oh i love the little free library i'm in the process of building glossy and this is a low budget program all right to give an example of what they are ok these i guess these fixtures or whatever that word so that any idea ok we're going to talk about why you do it too because i want to touch this is going to get to the point of why i'm really upset this is an example i don't know if you really fancy i saw one on pinterest that was actually like made to look like a full size tardis from the t v series dr who yeah the thing that i don't really know i don't watch the show but i knew it was in that's was pretty cool all right in one second or no let's say fifty words or less how would you define what the little free library is so that they know as before i go on a little fright library is something that people build and either put a lot of them are very common in their in their front yards and you fill it with personal books or donations or whatever and the theme is take a book leave a book so it's a community based thing that you  box of twenty or so books and people in your neighborhood can they're walking around with their animals or whatever see oh i'd like to read that they take it and then maybe they'll put one of their own books that they don't read anymore want to share at the community and as well so it's all it's a community based thing right where it's basically a book sharing with their neighbors right which is really cool all right now here's here's what i'm upset about you had talked that you want to do when you're having one built i said as we speak right yes one is being you know you're going to be able to put you know put it out in your front yard when i first heard of this when we were talking about it i like i pictured maybe more community you know that morning and thought maybe i don't want to for two reasons number one is because i work at the library in the community that i live in that i don't want to take away from our library not that it would but i i also did not think and i said this because i think maybe your township may be more up for this that our township would ever put up with that like i don't think now i don't think my really nice neighbors i don't think they would complain but i just don't feel like that's that was my excuse ok right you ready you found one hot off the press i'm serious i mean talk about news it the first one in peter's township peter's township and i know exactly where it is off of valley fork and washington it says book exchange peter's township gets a little free library and article they do it's not a good copy so i won't show it but the title of it is little free library promotes reading and community and it talks about this gentleman and the fact he has  daughter i believe going into her senior year and how they did this and how interbreeding they are and i guess it's working really well no complaints so far from from the township or the neighbors i don't want to start anything i think is really cool it is  are great for the community and it's actually i watch some videos on it and it's a lot of really nice way to meet people in your neighborhood on the summits and choose new the neighborhoods you put one up and then as who are coming in and stopping at her at her library or her right person a library she met a lot of people so i think it's neat and it i don't think it takes away from the importance of our library or the community yeah i think it's mainly to reply to community which we do on a larger scale turned to add one more thing you're going to want to see what did you hear the story there's a little boy i don't know if he's like nine years old or something i think young in kansas that his municipality or area he put one up and they made him take it down they said absolutely not there was a big kind of a fight writing a father is mad and wanting to say you know we want to be able to put this up and as i was doing research on it there were many of these little free libraries throughout kansas which is probably not good for this town you know that they said no and this is what poor little boy and then you look at a sad little face i meant to bring a picture it's probably in my stuff somewhere but you see this boy with a sad little face just standing there in front of his free little his little free library it's bad ok so i hope that he can keep his even though i don't have said we're really busy with what's going on with the children teens we can't forget about them they're also super busy of so much action in the teen or in this time of the year there's a program every single day of the week for teens and the most important thing that's going on th summer reading challenge is going to briefly talk about that again and that is it's basically all run by the teens themselves and for every book that you come into the library and check out you get a ticket and then when you finish the book you write a really simple book review on it is basically just a two question review and you write it and by stars just like you would on the website good reads one star to star whatever yet and you bring that in and then i give you five tickets then we have about a dozen baskets in the team room that you can enter to win with these tickets and you also get more tickets for the baskets if you come to any program or other things like that so a lot of fun that is it's really cool to see teens i don't get to see during the school year because they're so busy with school work and they're they want to read so much over the summer while they can so it's a lot of fun it is keeping them involved and to add to that guess what i was excited to be able to come here and tell you this ok are you r july and you can sign up even whenever in july and they'd start doing that and they can have a challenge every day of the month so right that they have to draw and then they get to and then i get to see them all the end of the in the month which is a lot of fun that's very cool obviously and i'm not a big t v watcher like i really don't know a lot of the shows that are on somebody or mention something and i have to ask like what is that right i love the news i love good movies jeopardy because i think that if i answer a question i'm brilliant you know that's that's how i am with t v ok so they say it's simple pleasure to me like when they do the whatever the brain gets old so there was a book when i was looking to order books it was brand new and i looked at it i have heard about it i had heard about it and i looked at it and i thought you know offense anybody out there you've got to be kidding me you have got you have got to be kidding me now i will mention the show and i know that they have huge fans and what i was reading on there by when everything like millions of stands that i think it's on a knee i want to say i don't know it did my research on it because i'm not wasn't familiar with it other then knowing of it ok wasn't really sure what it was even about i could g all right ready well our car sticker covers it up but it is an alphabet book called d is d is for doc calls you got it ok dynasty duck dynasty exactly so i'm looking at up and i'm going ok all are these really the real people like in there are they real i don't really know a lot about it so i don't think it's an audi and all the characters are in the basket but it is kind of funny it was actually written by a roberts and i think it's the mom it has to be she's only woman in there or love a lot of guys in that one so  chickens don't cluck whatever i said i think they were learning something and were you know learning alphabet which is always important but apparently how they started making their money was making duck calls write the things that i've never the adult enjoy the book as much as the child because they get the jokes that the kids won't get but the kids still just enjoy it just as much time sense yeah so like they're neat i think they're cool those are cool books and then you also makes like a nice gift or something to to check it out at my local public library township of which we are very proud of my life do i have time to do one more go for all right but i have to say i have to cheat on this one this is a brand new trilogy that just came out i had done on my contacts and so i have to actually put on my glasses i'm sorry it's called this is the first one in the it's what's a siri it's that is a name for the whole series and this is the first one called  one and it's about young kids and apparently not we just got i've not even had a chance to read it other than reading the reviews on it and you know who it would be geared for and apparently you know very good if you're like this is a brand new one out that the reviews are very good on and like i said i've not had a chance to read it but i do know i looked up number two in the series i think it's coming out i want to say january or february fifteenth and you know what isn't that the one of the like kind of down things of a trilogy the good side is that if you like an author then you're excited very i mean i think if you read right but if you start reading them right away you know find out in your teens everything in here that you needed to know so this monster is a really interesting series popular for both boys and girls is about this girl clary who she's just a normal girl and she's at a party and she witnesses a murder at a thought so it kind of has all those twists involved yet it's but it's neat that there is a movie based upon the first book but so city of holy fire is available we have tons of copies at the library so make sure you pick that up if you're a fan because what just came out what number did you say that was look six and the final one this is the last one so if they did a movie of the first one they're probably like harry potter probably going to go through and i would think so i don't know how with the last harry potter was like that yeah going to see a movie yeah divided i a trivia question for you ok know not what the name of this character is but you can name this character it's big bird i couldn't name this character i didn't have a very good childhood i would actually be very sad ok but here's yeah i thought that would do it different arthur is one of their programs clifford as one of their programs and also to remind our patrons that you don't have to come in and just rent these are check these out on books so i even charge this one up so it would work but i'm not going to do it i won't make them watch t v this is the play away all you need are the headphones and listen to make getting to another carrier traveling in a p three and this one is  don't want to hear the story to charges charges it's those are really great when they're very populous time of the orchestra love love love them for vacations because you want your children i know there are a lot of people have the d v d s the things in their in their their cars now but if you need quiet time and they want to do something headphones that's all you have to do and like she and said all of these have several episodes on and i mean and it's not all just like kids shows i mean there's literature and and doing a story time programs based on their programs right on their shows on their shows and we're really excited that's going to be starting and it's going to every tuesday write every tuesday and wonder all the rest of the summer and if it goes
