what library i am this shannon and i miss linda and we're here again to share all of the information that you need to know from our children's department in young adult department we bring it right to you to your home into your living room or wherever you  offering to patrons different things that they can come in and make and do that uses their creativity their minds you know everything from you know i always love the name of the one little kid it's called making make a new dog and making yeah i have one in the in our thing we should play with it we can you know put the thing that little prongs into like fruit and play the piano and do all this really cool stuff there's a lot of more a lot more electronic things that are going on in right in our library alone just to give reference again embroidery machines as an example sewing machines three d printers laminat our craft bar all that the kids are loving and we're so glad that they love it cleaning up is such a blast after that i'm glad you can tell that they're having a lot of fun and actually a lot of the patrons and the kids have been very very helpful with with picking up and i hate to sound like a mom with that but i want them to have a blast that boy sometimes i'll tell you go oh did somebody have fun today or something like or three hundred people had fun today ok so this is part of an interview a series called tinker it's called tinkering spaces and it goes along with the maker space idea because it talks about that and in toronto this woman took it a step farther what she did was because we're doing it in the libraries and everybody is getting more on this mindset of offering these a hands on i guess has been hands on experiences especially to children you know it's great for adults too i mean i'm i'm still fascinated by our three d printer you know i've i've made a couple things on it which cracked me up you know fascinated by i haven't used the embroidery machine i haven't used the sun or any of that right but it's fascinating so anyway a woman took at one step further and her name is lisa carey goldberg and this is yeah this is part a a series called tinkering spaces and she actually and it takes out a little bit outside of the library made a built a community space for the merging of material matter found in both science and art as a way to enhance toronto's creative potential and it says if you live anywhere or can get to toronto you know to visit what they are to what she is doing there and list see if i can find a really good picture i don't know if they're going to be it too small for you to see anybody what it is is it basically shows like the kids this is these are the kids and you know what they're wearing could see it oh yeah there you go thanks storefront so she actually took it one step further and took it outside of the library and she has a storefront in toronto and you go in and it's all clean and i'm not going to show it again it's all clean and designed with different areas that they can use their creativity and and they were even raving they said the lab coats were such a nice touch because the kids feel really really very do it but i know it's all about the maker spaces and they're taking it once know just taking it you know one step further further in the libraries and this woman even went beyond that and just took it you know right into a storefront which i'd be very curious on how that works and how she's doing and i think it's really cool but  is exactly where the libraries are exactly what is happening around the world is getting into the more of the maker space yes and store creativity beyond just the books yes you know you never know what you can do don't live very these days and again i'm ready for a road trip so we should do is to do that would be fun yeah development in canada yeah you know everywhere i go and i'm sure you're the same way like if you go to our library yeah if there's a lot especially because you all of a sudden go others a library right there my my son there was a library he's in the air force base in mountain home idaho outside a boise great library right there on base and like this rocks and that's not even the boise library you know their own library for  base which is like its own city anyway so ok very cool moving on moving on i said on the library we want a little quick plug in for our wild crowd wednesday this is like never ending people just love this blog traffic yeah i don't care if they and i'll say if you guys seen this before the moms will just look and said doesn't matter they love it so you know what i try to do when i you know but i was gone last wednesday but try to do like sheets for them like i'm there you know watching whales then have some little tidbit about whales maybe a word search or something they love it they come in at noon and what they say sit down watch wildcats and eat lunch they bring their own bag lunch they think it's a colas thing one of the moms said we can't stop this because they think it's called the house went to the library and just to sit in there on the carpet watch a very great educational show love those crap brothers and and that's it it's so simple and yet they love it ye good last year i started something different when the whole month of february in honor of valentine's day for the teens i did a blind date with the book and they loved it to the point where sometimes the dishes to sell you around and i was like ok barcode so you can check it out the library and then i'll put a little quick synopsis of the book on the car on the cover that i rapid and then all you know is no just one or two things about that book and i decide whether or not you want to read it  like going on a blind date with a part yeah you don't nest maybe you know their name maybe you know couple things that you don't know too you never can open that can open it up you can do that yeah you know that's really being the cover yeah and yet i hate that saying where what's great is you can take home a couple of them and then if you get home you open it up and you decide this isn't really my cup of teen you just take it back right you know you don't sound like you're stuck with it right yeah you didn't buy it right so you know take a couple and see which advisory council really really like that idea yeah i do it more than just in the month of february so what the mystery yeah yeah instead of just you mean switching the title of it like from blind date with a book to mystery ball something like that yeah like the one that was called the you know or whatever and you'd go how do you think that can go that's not what we want to teach our children you know like judging a book by  the does are the best yeah hello yeah i think it was bill gates that wasn't like super popular in school and you know probably i think ok for yeah i think you ended up doing all right for a little wallflower kind of guy for a dead surrounding areas that are homeschooling right and we try to offer you know help in ways of you know having information for them having a group for them and we were very fortunate that a woman juliana heidi a friend of the library you know just you know great go home schools and she has taken over this program for us because she knows what she wants as a homeschooling mom  she has a network of homeschooling mom and friends and all together it's made for a very good good credit they are doing family pull stuff in there and they only me they meet twice a month like the second and fourth wednesday pretty much i think sometimes it differs in it and they do this wonderful curriculum and we have we have all of the books that she's asked for is ours curriculum you know she'll say we'd like to study this we'd like to study that so we have a lot of the reference materials you know whatever we can do to support their efforts for high school ing where there for them absolutely if you are a homeschooling family homeschooling parent check it out just check it out it's great support for the parents that are doing it because i don't believe that that could possibly be an easy choice to make and you know a difficult situation i mean i just think it would be really hard you know to encompass all of that but and also us a new schedule and i think there are a couple date changes but it's so cool because she even put the themes were just nice we could help them pull books but somebody to call and say well what are they doing and we're you know right they're singing increase right now which is kind of fun yeah evening with dr seuss are going to everybody so every year we try to do something with him so on march third we're going to do a dr seuss party because his birthday is i think the second so that's dr seuss thing so we of course in the library we have to celebrate all right so we'll be doing that on march third at six thirty so some fun fun stuff that's really fun you know what was real true true story not that long ago somebody was going through our programs and so and they specifically asked are you doing anything for dr seuss or haven't you done it in the past or did you do it last you know those kind of questions and i said yeah you know sometimes we'll do you know things a few years in a row sometimes will mix  mention that we don't you know as i'm sitting here my mouth is getting really dry here is our empty juice box thing because if they watched the last show that i forgot to bring the juice boxes it was  what yeah because don't forget we're going to talk about that too but i did not the the last show that we just taped when you were january's we were talking about the pennsylvania young readers choice award and all the right now which is amazing and i feel like you know what when i thought about this i feel like i don't do enough of this talking about to enter a nonfiction yet so i'm bringing some nonfiction to yes oh my gosh these stories and the pages in the the you know that this one of the heroism it's called courage has no color the true story of the triple nickels which is america's first black paratroopers oh yeah and it already won an award for excellence in nonfiction for young adults you know so that's really cool yeah so that is up for that that you can vote for so why i'm saying this too is you can come into the library check all of these we have a display with all of these books available if you come in and the committee that votes for the error that does this once you you know people to read at least three of the nominees so that you could actually have something to base it on right and then pick your favorite your favorite we are we are actually having them pick on put him in a ballot box and we are going to submit our our things to the committee so we'll be part of part of that you have around say yep we'll have our own say here's another one my gosh this one just the pictures are so whole it's a beautiful poetry book it april is poetry month right yes and i mean this would be a great one to brand new it's called winter bees and other poems of the cold and what's nice is you know gone are the you know the old days where the poems books would just come out and you just one poem after another after another keeps which you know now they're just so beautifully illustrated these are just come out which i think about is what's going to help the children start liking poetry because if you say ok and i'm sure they find this in school  it's just funny i mean you really have to look like a fight to show and you have to stay there ok you're able to see you have to really look into the picture in find the dog i can see half of it  adorable storable and then another one that's on the list it's a national geographic kids chapter book and it's called the whale who won hearts and what the series is the stories about animals love wells to that and it does it talks about it in like all the songs written in a form of a chapter book because sometimes nonfiction hard for kids to read because but this is written and yeah yeah like an informant that they're familiar with yes they hate it well you know what it's more like the now it's they're not really nonfiction they're fiction but the i spot are the survives and all that like anything that the kids you're absolutely right anything that the kids can read more in a little chapter  superheroes we still can't seem to get away from that we just got this book and actually came in while i was on leave so it's new to me yeah surprise yeah i was excited to see this yeah black widow forever re black widow is the female in the avengers which is still super popular because of the movies that can come out and but this is me because it's not a graphic novel it is a chapter book about her and she about black widow and then also she connects with this teenage girl who is the daughter of a russia russia russian quantum physicist and i'm things going on with that i guess and so now under shield she some people do not like graphic novels or something like dream so if you're a fan of just superheroes you want to read anything involving superheroes you can grab that made me think about a couple of before i went on leave i brought in this lois lane fall out with about lois lane superhero it's there it's not in january you know when we talked about el death the graphic novel that was actually probably the first graphic novel that i felt like i really enjoyed i just you know never i don't know and yet when i was little i loved comic books you know back then we called them comic books so archie and you know all the things that paper comic books and now there are there are graphic novels and i don't know why just you  story that was at a free online every one of august and i know i know i love it yes so those are good one of the things that you know we forgot we didn't bring the juice boxes but we brought like well this one's empty i was going  wanted to talk about these so we can on like as we're signing out we're going to we're going to just start shooting balloons at the cameras these had i found out we found out here's the history right national honor society use this yesterday as a first attempt at it so all of those that are of age in here at the high school really cool i've been on cruises or they've done the globe parties and really they do the black a black lights and you wear the gloves day and everything's blinking and i've never done that great idea but we don't have these glowing but you know we love props and we like our do things or balloons you know we we saw them over against the wall and we thought let's get those because we can play with those or do something and found out that they were actually
