library i am a shannon and i miss linda and we are back began to bring you news from our library into your living room but everything you need to know about the children's department and why i write yes we could talk about a lot more but we to only have a half hour the crap some day will go will go longer i know that we start with the world news around the world but i want to just say you know what actually have our juice boxes up here and you know it's like our about it i think it's like i'm going to list like the academy awards so i feel very honored to be able to do that so there's quite a few who will just touch on some of the big ones but well we talked about last time the newbury the john dewberry it's for most stoute fan a contribution to children's literature chapter books and this year's winner and i do want to say guess what somebody knew this because i remember right after i saw all this that you know how we pull holds for people write every single hold i hold we're off these lists so somewhere there's a teacher or another librarian that polled all the winners medal went to the crossover and that's written by kwame alexander so that's really cool so can i rationally we have that in the life section of it is it must go both of you know what  he was in on a book and this one summer ok then credit scott king book award goes to an author and illustrator of outstanding books for children and young adults recognizing an african american author winner of the brown girl dreaming there we go for that and you know it was interesting because the crossover was also an honorary book for yes which is cool very cool yep the crossover is a good one because it's a sports it's a valid basketball yeah so good for like artists and everything are our boy readers that's right of sports keep that in mind yes warts fans ok here it is i actually have something to show all right one book that was in that won the award this one won the credit scott king book award i love the cover of the this cover it's firebird by christopher myers credit scott king book award i think that's really cool yeah very cool and i love it actually ordered another copy too because you know we like to have one in the award section right in the in the regular a new credit scott king new talent author award when i was the greatest written and illustrated by jason reynolds how about that see there were some of the prin award ok excellence in literature written for young adults i'll give you the sun i think we've talked about that one here yeah that's a good one yet by jan do you now sin and honor awards and we stay the carnival so many awards which is really cool because it's inspiring to get people to write right absolutely quality right you know anybody can write something right yes but not necessarily quality the alex awards but that's the adult books i mean it's crazy andrew carnegie again that's excellence and that goes into the d v d s and everything but where we're on the ball we have them all they're wonderful we've talked about many of them and i and i think it's so cool i can't imagine what that party focusing everything on horton hears a who i don't think corn gets enough attention it's always like that marie i enter a pretty cool that's a great he teaches us that a person is a person no matter how small and so we're going to be reading words my over dr seuss book to read and because it's a challenge so i feel like i'm challenging myself and actually when i read it i visited our hill last year and i read this book and the class applauded me because it was so difficult really i was able to do it fox and sachs fun because it's all tongue to us yeah and you have like i was teaching my code teacher used to say i feel like you're reading that just for your own just to challenge yourself  like i think we're just going to like spend the rest of the time we have it memorized ok so we're moving on another thing that we started back we did it in the summer i actually had  mom or f it was a couple of moms from one of my classes that had ten to one in the summer when we were doing all the stuff with the p w q e d we're still partnered with them and so i do things with them as we're going to talk about other things coming up one of the mom said are you ever going to do that wild kratz lunch again and i said well i could i hadn't really given it a lot of thought because we were so busy  you know preparing for our regular library year so i thought about it and i did it i we got it on the schedule so it is for all those moms that asked about it thank you very much actually i looked at the sign up  looking great already it is a fun program it is a very yeah it's it it's an easy program for us no i toil over this little over this but you come in bring a bag lunch like noon on wednesday it's each wednesday in march from noon until whenever the wild craps program is over and is about an hour and a sure lunch yeah and just come and have lunch and the kids love the wildcats i mean not to like push any certain particular t v show but if the when i was doing all the w q e d stuff last summer i asked the kids i said what is your favorite  i left the very last program up in the air to the kit right and then i was going to just concentrate on that and let them be part of that so the week before i said i want to know which one of these programs are your favorite of the p b s shows where you were showing wild crap hands down absolutely and i like it i like really educational but in a fun way yeah like you know they go back in time and they see like the pre historical show right which we have everything i believe that's published right them right i think so yeah i know we do because we were definitely into that so while kratz every wednesday morning brown bag debbie he called me i guess so yeah and they because of the bad weather last year they a lot of their programs they had scheduled had to get canceled and they needed to get one more in to meet whatever their also got to watch videos of kids that won the contests in the past so it's really neat the writing on this is pretty awesome like they have it's case through three and it's amazing what these kids come up with and they illustrate and they write the whole story themselves and then they submit it and then they are judged by a panel and then there's when there's four i guess you could say for what it was because there's a first second third and then honorable mention and if you win you get last year now i don't know if it was a kid that came to our program or not or just has admitted they do stuff in the schools with it to write is awesome but what we'll do is we kind of talk about writing will do a couple fun like little writing workshop activities and then dr seuss show and we'll be doing a couple things related dr seuss with our writing contest with the writing so that will be saturday march seventh from one to two so make sure you check that out can i just make one comment and this is not to p school against goal or anything because we had a lot of submissions from peter's township partly because of this and as you said they go through the schools but there were a lot of entries and maybe runners up or some award winners from our hill yeah nice nothing against any bother school i'm just saying because it's still our township right we're taking pride that i know my town of that windows are runner up was from our destroyed yeah to where they were so yes it's pretty start our sign ups early our programs get so packed and it says a lot about what we do you know and we have to start early so that we get the registrations and then we can plan right you know we do ask that you sign up everybody asks us to do we have to send we do want you to because it involves a lot of preparation on our part and we don't want to ever be too sure of something or have so much that we're you know was spending more money or whatever  no right not at all but i would definitely want to have enough yet so the spring sign ups for residents start i think it's march first it's the first week in march that i monday then because i think that part is seventy something like that then the sign ups begin for nonresidents the following monday so we're already doing it right gosh and it's going to be great of so right up until we get ready for summer yeah then we do hard work there may and then me break for a little bit then we go right into summer reading which yeah break for a little bit that ice packs me out yeah yeah really our breaking where like not doing anything sitting back and y segment yeah all right so i feel like almost every other episode that you know this book somehow ends up being talked about but there's a series called the hunger game no really tell me about it so i'll be living under a rock you know that's probably the most popular wife series we've had for a long time and mockingjay part one course comes out on d v d and blu ray the first weekend of march so we will be showing it for the library premiere basically immediately after it's released it will be showing it on friday march sixth at four o'clock and we're going to  we're going to do it what are twisted for this time is we're having a hunger games costume contest done everyone is welcome to come to the movie we're going to have lots of cool hunger games themed food to eat as well probably order pizza  quick oh absolutely ok i want to talk about our new series i with these out of sight i'm going to fight this one down they are fun you know we get a lot of the kids i mean obviously in school that they do a lot of lot of fun and funny yesterday i putting together in order they came out with three more people one was jesus and one is there are two others i can't monitor all danced ration is on the yes so they're coming up with two more then they started a whole nother part of that famous places i think that's cool and yeah it's a great series you know they don't these are books that don't go in depth right but they give them enough information to know what is the inner city redoing their quick reads and when you have the little ones that get all you know stressed if it's too much and that's what i tell parents you don't want to burn them out goodbye astray show yet to so going along with that our new series i love this it's called they were kids before they were famous history's all stars yet history's all stars and what i learned when i saw this i thought oh my gosh you know that makes sense think about it because when they get when we do the biographies and they do their stories it typically is about everything that they've done as an adult when they began to manus right but it's hard for kids to remember it realize that they are these people were children too right just like they don't realize kids don't realize their parents or relatives were children at all ever we were never children so we were always i would say you know so these are wonderful like this one is we have a bunch this is john f kennedy abraham lincoln rosa parks there are so many and it's so cute let me look at the pictures as there is illustrated and they're out too and they're yeah big font easy to you know easier to read right and right at the beginning it does give them a highlight going and as we see that is log cabin that's cute it does give that it does right at the beginning of each book gets a highlight of there is this famous person journey like real quick of what they were writing this for years when they were you know born diet etc and what what they were famous for but then you read this and they're like wow it's like a story is yeah yeah so cute they're really funny now and they're novel and it's really cute it's about this girl and growing up she really wasn't girly girl like she didn't like to play with dresses and dolls and things but she was one of the guys either she was naturally an athlete or anything like that so it's kind of like having to figure out you know where she kind of fell you know in between like not being girly not being boyish either like she was kind of in between those very humorous but it's very honest and it kind of lets people know what it really means to be a girl gender bullies growth punk rock and the power of the perfect outfit as that fun so it's really cute wow and there's a couple graphic novelists that of written memoirs are almost like autobiographies like that like and it's  like just how like all the kids were really into queen anymore because that wasn't popular but he loved it and bullied for that and what the music kind of meant to him as i was growing up and i love queen as well so it was pretty i'm not of any other good ones
