know we always laugh and say we're bringing you right into their living yes we are and especially this is getting into winter so you don't even have to you know put your foot outside in the right know we were bring we're bringing you the information that you need to know what's going on and as we they know that's ok because we do it and we try to keep it current yes all right so we you are getting into it lady we're going to do like an official we have a lot of information to put out last time it was a joy to get to know you and let everybody get to you all the changes we're doing at the library it's exciting i love all the stuff so what we did miss out on and i don't have the globe because our globe is at the highest and we had one here the last time we were shooting globe we don't have one but we'll just you know pretend i was going to bring in that list and spin it around well whatever ok but it is we're going to use our imaginations yes library news from around the world this one is a little bit different because i came across this on the internet and you know anything that has to do with you know how you get it whether time they say what you will about social media something but just complain about it and go it's too much too much time but for facts i mean if you really use it like when i get stuff anything that shows a book in it or has a comment about books or talks about libraries you know it either one yeah it otherwise you may not have a chance to learn that or know that and then your true get you know all this that well i thought this was kind of a funny intriguing ok so what this is and then i'm going to ask you a question too because i kind of you know it's called the article was and i think i chopped off the guys the name that put it together i'm sorry s the first name was dave and i think it began with the c so dave see wherever you are thank you for this this internet article it's called fifteen books you started and never finished but should oh ok good ok i love that i like how he writes writes he starts off he goes we've all been in that awkward shaming position before i love this fellow reader or impressed nonreader asks have you ever read say like war and peace you know something brilliant and you have no choice but to answer well i started it but never finished it because and then you're fumbling for whatever your excuses for not having finished so he got it's funny he is bored piece as an example of i tried so he goes ok once upon a time you might have gotten away with reading a quarter of war and peace skimming  crowdsourcing these glory days are gone now the word is out we've all been told on get us a paper saying you didn't really read it because you probably get like cliff notes or something even the most book book lovers don't finish some books so they went through and they did this study about people starting books in a finishing them and it's not the same as like if you don't like a book you don't finish it and i get those questions a lot in here about you know sometimes the parents other than if you have to do it for school you know then you have to finish and there's reasons why you're being asked to read it but i mean how many times if you started a book and not in didn't finish it because you didn't like it well it's happened yeah i mean you have to tell that to the kids at school all the time we call it abandoning a book oh ok to abandon a book for whatever reason maybe just wasn't a right fit at that time i have one that i abandoned i haven't totally put it away and so i'm mike ok bill at home yeah it's called cutting for stone and it takes place in ethiopia and it's a wonderful story lots of history but lots of medical information in the book and i get a little bogged down with some of that but i haven't put it away completely it's sitting there as a gentle reminder that i'd like to finish it yeah so i just i didn't like that that sounds intense like like you could only do little pieces at a time if it has all that stuff i'd be overwhelmed slow but i've heard good things about it so i know other people have liked it so i feel like i need to give it another a sec chance i get it i totally get it yeah i have books like that ok so but maybe it says but maybe some of these books are getting abandoned because your wrist just can't take lifting all one thousand pages of it for another minute or maybe the first one hundred pages are super slow but there's a few of those frequently abandon books that are seriously worth doing when this is cute seriously worth doing wrist exercises or pushing through another long description on way off that for a seriously huge payoff in the end you don't have to finish every book you start but these ones are worth the effort that now this is one man's opinion so now some of them i have i brought examples because when i was pulling these off our shelves and i was remembering for first of all i'm going to go south just left them and then the way down to high school regarded melville i was surprised by this one i forgot to highlight a bit wicked oh yeah gregory maguire i want to show you that too but i was surprised by that the people hadn't finished it yet because it's you know it's not like worries he makes a funny comment about it maybe it's your own frightful grammar or bad memories of eighth grade english class that keep you from finishing this funny little book you know it's very clever yeah that i thought i just i thought that was very that is i wonder how long that would take me now i don't know you in very small font divide by the number of pages yeah have yourself a schedule did you finish it no i never actually even started it i should put that on my list so i started it and i can admit i did not finish it you know why because i wasn't forced to either hell i don't remember why i like it you know like she said there's examples of if it's too slow or too write well there's a lot of characters and more peace i do know that so yeah keeping track of the characters through potter and i'll tell you what it's like kids today like to pull out a book and they'll go i need a book since where is ten point zero i know i hate that so they'll pull you pull it out go ok this is ten point they go oh my god look at all those pages you use that were kind of sparely recent movie that they use that as their first line in their matilda oh your kid yeah it starts off in there with matilda is you know because she was an avid reader and yes and that's the first line in the trilogy yes is the highest gross it was the most expensive back to back film ever made really yes with all of those wow did put that went to to i don't know if i'm really that surprised i mean there was there's a lot to that yeah and i was i learned that because the james bond movie just was coming out the new one called scepter or specter and it is the second highest is it well it's the second highest most expensive film three hundred million dollars the most started but there yeah plenty out there yeah yeah there are but that's about it was in the last use from you know i don't like it there's no sense fretting over it find another one right sadly or you could even listen to some of them and i brought some play ways yeah i know for our young adults we have some right here in the room we have a bookcase right next to us here full of books that you can wear and listen to them so it's a little daunting yeah i'm thinking oh i can't really read it all this is a little m three player you basically push the button play list and put your buds in you can walk you can garden you can just hear yeah anybody iron any more but you could do that i only only when necessary if i can't find anything else it doesn't mean you have these up stairs to for a dinner so we have you've had things done to with that number of pages listen to it on a plane and you know white house because of my children and i know this wait let me look at mentioned about the team think has got to mention we are on location again like last time and we are in our team so you are left in i don't know if kelsey would be able to ever get a shot of that over there but we definitely have a great a great stack play alway write and one of another book i know we're talking about it around the world but we have a great collection here of the manga type of books which you actually read from the back yeah but they have an interesting form of illustrations and in our teen some of to i was never really familiar with manga and doing all that i've never really read one through but nor have i i only would think i've started one but i should know unless no i haven't either i've i've found through just to see how they do it that the backward ye to the online learning you'll see databases right and it's there and what you need though of course is your wagon way so you know what i mean your number and it's on the back of your little key chain your key holder your key tab you know on the back of your  card you'll see a number there but in it each country so one hundred twenty five different countries that are a hundred plus articles on those countries so for research whether you need to know have a map you need to know about the economics of energy the people the animals the climate the business the holidays it's a wonderful database and what i like about encouraging our patrons to use them is we pay the for them for you and we actually that helps you with your searching rather than just googling a country or a city use our database because all that information has been collected and organized and you know it's a reliable source you don't get to sleep through all of the things that are not yet a good value so that's a room with students from w and you khalid who are spanish speakers yeah some of them are native spanish speakers others are majoring in the language others are just maybe about to visit the country but we welcome anyone from the community who is interested in just talking in spanish it's not a formal lesson no one's going to correct you or grade you on your grammar and you don't sit and listen to a lesson you sit in a circle we have bottled water there for you and you just chat fun and it's in the very early in the language totally in the line that's now of course if you need to say something in english well yeah i made it out of i forget it or go on but i do if you are considering travelling around the world or you just want to brush up on a language that you had drawing you have been doing a good job of pulling people in to do you know all of this yes and you know this is a great opportunity to talk to the community and let them know that we if you have a particular interest in art i knows entangle is very popular now which is the art of doodling and it's a great way to relax so whether that's your interest or maybe you could help us with engineering some projects for our young  some stem projects a book club that you might like to get you know kick off we are open to new to new faces and new ideas so be sure to let us know how people to know just a word about the i would think i would love you know when you were well speaking of stressing the stressing yeah i love and with the holidays i know sometimes that you know people are busy with yapping where they're they're focused on studying for their tests and so forth but we have these adult coloring books it's kind of all the rage now you see them in barnes and noble you see them at five below your will that i am what i started with this one right here but these these books all have they all have perforated pages so we've got color pencils we have lots of different medium that you can t facilities like retirement facility and they were assisted living you know and one of the patrons there was saying that you know they have parkinson's and they don't shake when they color really so it's something about putting those fingers together it's a very relaxing experience so we were giving that as a service system a living facility so if i want to come in and relax we've got some crayons and materials at the yeah well that's now called zen tango so you were like ahead of your time yeah i think we've all done that yeah and i like that yeah that's good oh that's all good stuff i love yeah the coloring idea i think it's clever so very very clever ok so what are we talking about like let's just bring up i bring up a couple things that are coming up with the kids ok ok just we have coming up i wanted my girls book group that  classic so good easy quick university yeah it just came out and it is a good story this is what the kids are going to be reading for our discussion in november not on november tenth and you know what kids always worry like this is actually a very quick yes you know it's you know the fun of it is based on not very many years because kids worry they want to come to the book groups and they think well i didn't read it or couldn't read it i tell them number one if you can read it great because it makes for you know better conversation and especially if it's quick like this and even if they can't read a column you'll need to learn how to read it and you'll want to because the ones that are bringing it back that had read  other ones are taking it going yeah i do want to read that so yeah i love that fact and i like the story and i thought what i'm looking forward to reading it again it's you know i love to to brush up on them once again so that you  ahead and i think you're going to be doing this one right this one is coming up in november the seventh and this is for our young adult book club the kids i guess with machine and they had voted on these titles and this one is rush reviere and the and this one is why why do you want to leave europe who's your leader on the mayflower how many people around the ship what feet what food you eat on yeah so with the thanksgiving holidays coming yeah it would be a nice book to read and then you can really get an appreciation of what the pilgrims really experience would have been like to be a member of the crew or the passengers and do we want to mention the other kelleys yet then what lies will follow ok what if there had been after this book is the one we're going to be doing and december so it would give you some time to pick it up the first saturday in december the fifth it's called let it snow this is john green maureen johnson and lauren myracle they are three books or three stories three short stories that are all tied together on a theme of something that happens on a magic magical christmas their picture sparkling snow drifts and you get i do that well and i get to do this one so i would love to see some started yeah but what i found interesting was that all three stories are intertwined ok so the one the first story starts they have the car break or the train breaks down and they have to go on a hike so they're on a hike the second story someone discovers  kind of a secret crush at a waffle house and then also it is a nice line in the third story where they end up how can true love begin at the early morning shift at starbucks really you know there's some and there's a friendship there's a lot of humor but it's three very popular authors and john green you know from the fault in our stars we also have the new paper towns the new d v d that's come out that was part of his work so next year and this is the perfect time to read it for now ok and then be ready to watch yeah we were hoping you always want to see the book first oh i read the book read the book see the movie or read the movie see that i can't right now i agree i love i much i loved it read the book first musical christmas carol yes downtown pittsburgh it's always in at the biome well tom atkins who is from art comes to our library you know tom is always a pla see tom here and i and i've said a couple things i mean he doesn't know me from anything but you know because i'm kind of tucked away in the children's farm and anyway i just had this thought because it would be fun to get a group from peters township to support our peter mention something that's going to be coming up that we're featuring here at the library on november twelfth from seven to eight p m this is actually a nationwide hands it's called the great thanksgiving listen and the way this works is all they ask teens so you need to be thirteen but your i did to come on that night we're having a kickoff event where we're going to show you how to download the app and it's an app that will allow you to record your grandparents stories yeah thanksgiving table and you might say well i could just record their voice on the phone well yes you could but this is a little more involved we have a trail who is an author who's written a book about lawrenceville she's going to come and help all of us develop good question and teach us how to keep a conversation go so this year we're hoping that this is a way to bring our community together bring ages together yeah teens and their elders  the kick off is like i said november the twelfth from seven to eight there's no cost we do want you to register but then we're also going to have volunteers here in the library the
