stay on your couch until we are through then you can jump up and come right library run and do everything that we tell you you need to be doing something like that right something like i will start with library news from around the globe or locally i guess you said you're going well this one is actually around the globe to look at it globally ok yeah mostly this and i was to go global with the last time we were together we talked about thanksgiving that sarah hell is the one for forty years that nothing like turkey and stuffing with your family so we talked about some traditions even though it is an american holiday there are some similar holidays that we talked about in different countries that they do different things but i thought this was really interesting this is from a site called i love libraries thoughts or a good one has to be a good idea of quality of course a low everything on the internet is quality right something like no no we are librarians and we're here to tell the kids don't believe everything that you find on the internet so thanksgiving celebrations at the library now these are traditions of some of th library libraries are doing ok ok so so thanksgiving looms on the horizon families are getting ready to gather around the table shares turkey stuffing enjoy the company of relatives not to mention sneaking a look at the minutes here and there football i didn't write it so libraries however have jumped ahead of the thanksgiving curve down by the head of every curve i mean we are so up ahead of ourselves yeah getting into the holiday spirit by offering programs for everything with holiday cheer and library materials containing thanksgiving recipes as well as conducting food drives to help the needy enjoy their holiday or that it's all it's awesome so they picked a few libraries this is what they're doing in the i'm going to of course tell you what your library is doing absolutely all right starting in utah let's go to the salt lake county utah library it's about it they host a family friendly celebration at the carrollton texas public library two days before thanksgiving i like this the doors open to children of all ages to library library provides thanksgiving tips and recipes and they suggest quote books for advice on how to cook and make drinks and food for all the holidays even academic libraries are getting into the thanksgiving act the university of vermont libraries promote light thanksgiving reading by encouraging requests for books through in their library loans so they they get out there and say come on you know to get some books we'll get them for you emphasizing the giving part of thanksgiving libraries or helping out in a charitable way portage mix michigan district library they do and annual i love this idea i mean i could this is so right up our alley this is very very clever they do an annual food for finds campaign so the library collects food items for donations to you know wherever you know the things giving food basket program they call it at the portage community center the library waves one dollar in overdue fines for each item donated i love that so save that i know i would love to copy that i think that's fabulous yes donations oh this is so funny is because this is something that a lot of college kids through college donations and ramen noodles donations of ramen noodles earned a waiver of twenty cents per package so for every package you got twenty cents waved in fines so i like that i thought that was never was a way to do it and they again they just do it probably for one day or maybe the week or something yeah doesn't say what length of time i just think that's great and it's a great thing in the arlington virginia public library encourages a contributions again to the holiday food drive to benefit the arlington food assistance center  everybody which i it's so you know of where we're so involved in our community we partner with a lot of organizations to help each other out you know that's what we're it's about  what we're here for for sure so putting this all together we do it a little bit of a couple things yes it's called turkey days rob it has a day post turkey days and it is going to be a story to have it memorized for five hundred you know forever there are little turkey our little pilgrim song but we'll be doing as as you can see on that screen we're going to be doing a craft story and we that you bring a nonperishable food donation that we will pass on to the food pantry and the food banks so that we can how help others that don't have what we are fortunate enough to have for dinner that is going to be on monday the twelfth coming up in a couple weeks at six thirty to seven thirty a family event all ages i get that question when care for your baby is three months old in your child is fifteen it's a family event right come on make a craft here a story and bring please bring a donation that we will pass on the food donation for think about it with fond memories so i went to waynesburg and every year like a couple days before thanksgiving break they would have a big thanksgiving feast in the cafeteria they would decorate the whole cloth tablecloth and it was always really fancy and it student center that had food they would do that for the event as well because like they just needed more space right but it was as much fun i didn't find it was a really fun tradition so i recall and that made me think of it as very very fond memory of my  tradition to do so moving on another edition for us is every month we have a family movie night talking about having our family programs bringing families together this is a nice but it kind of relaxing a little like thursday evening to come and get some free popcorn feel free to bring a blanket or pillow to co op on and we're really excited because there be showing incredibles two this month which is just coming out on to d v d so it was really big in the theaters over the summer so i think it be really fun for movie night if you have one i've had a lot tradition yes well we love traditions in this one to the next it's not even it really a tradition per se for the library we we did this two years ago loved it loved it loved it another family event and i'm going to make a comment when this is done about family events by the way you're going to hear my nickel's worth of wisdom with this but we have stock in a lot of children from the pittsburgh youth ballet are coming to the library to perform snippets of the not cracker and i'm excited they'll be in costume the music of course those you know everybody should be exposed to the not cracker and as you reminded me the other day that they're coming out with a movie yeah there is a movie and i did an interview with the nutcracker with life people and i think that's what remember seeing some ads about it looked really good but we're going to have snippets of the not cracker there and followed by a quickie reception who doesn't love the cookie reception but what's fun about this is the children the families will have a chance to meet the ballerinas that's fun and you know i mean kids meeting the kids find out how how did they get it or just even just kids are in awe of that your actual have the you know the girl with the little nutcracker and everything and i was just going to make a comment about the family things we do so many family events so many family events and ninety nine point nine nine nine i can't even think other than our summer program that we charge like five dollars for the whole summer we don't anything no and for as busy as everybody is in this day and age we did a short little typically a half hour tween a half hour in maybe you know hour long programs if that just short snippets of time to get together and do something fun as a family and start for free for free it's you know it all it takes is i know it's a hassle sometimes when you go home and you're tired and have to make dinner and then you have to get the kids all bundled up as the season is coming to that but it is so worth it and i'll tell you what children remember yes children remember what they do with you so that's the name of the elf for the year so you never know what the else is going to be named until after the event and then every day from then until i think it's december twenty first we're going to pick our winner if you come into the library in our department in the children's area the elf is somewhere reading a book and so you have to find him or her and then you'll write down what they're reading for a chance to win a really nice holiday gift basket so it's become a tradition the kids will come in you know multiple times throughout the week even if they were the absolute different every yeah and so you know we do go and find her him and write down what they're reading and it's been it's been a lot of fun so please join us for the elf on the shelf on the twenty ninth another wonderful family holiday  events at the library right you know and just you know before i knew were flipping it a little bit but you know kind of looking here and seeing about how our regular programs and the regular programs and on november sixteenth but everything that we're talking is like oh after the sixteenth we have so many holiday and well for our december episode we have even more to do that we haven't even to even talked about that  this shed or something at in the schoolyard and have their first kiss with a boy and it ends up to absolutely back fire for this little girl she wanted to be popular and it ended up anything but that and what you're learning in here is about how it feels to be not one of the popular i hate that word i hate the popular group or whatever and i just don't like that and and you can see her struggle with that because she was once popular she thought and then she's not but her friend isn't her friend want to talk to her because i can't be caught talking to you or i won't be popular and in the meantime she is also struggling with  her mom had just had a baby and the baby has down's syndrome so you're learning about the transitions and the challenges of learning how to adapt to a child with special needs she's dealing with kids that bowley nice at all in that popularity crap it's wonderful it's wonderful you can really learn a lot from the yeah it is so it's library everybody's popular yes we're all popular and we're all special now for short so talking about books i found an article did you were talking yesterday about alex that had to thanksgiving and i really was struggling with it like a book about that for teens i follow books about being you know about having gratitude for teens with not really many novels they're wri nonfiction so right now i want a different route of good so i want to ask you mr linda yes i move my globe what what book are you most thankful for what book are you what book and i'm most thankful for wow that's a great question so i'm going to put like the bible aside you know if are right ok like  wow there are so many good some there are yet so many i tell you what i mean even read more recently i was thankful for the book wonder that's what that's what i've read  yes we sites where we did not know i didn't plan that but i don't i was i when i was thinking about what i was always thankful about our i agree one hundred percent not for how much wonderment to me but i think for how much wonder means to the world and i feel like reading this book should be a life requirement for us and i just love the statement and i actually download it it's a free app so this is it's called the daily wonder ok and it's really been wonderful you know how in the book wonder yeah  you love it ok i love it so first author laurie halse anderson which is funny because that book that you talked about the last episode pull that sara book again or yeah i'm pretty sure that was had a quick temper love swim it made her stronger in fifth grade she grew even taller and began to suspect that life was more complicated than the books that she'd been reading and her school librarian handed her little men and that changed everything fangirl this is she picked as her book that she is most thankful for and it's definitely on my list to harry potter ability but this was also on my list this has been my favorite book since i was in the seventh grade and the outsiders have not read that really gangs that she was seeing in her community and and even but it really has stand the test of time because kids are kids are kids and that doesn't really change what they wear how they lead or the cars they drive what media they're using that changes but the way that people treat each other and the pressures that teenagers face doesn't really change the outsiders is that my favorite book i've actually the play of the outsiders point park i love i probably this book ten times but  summer was thankful for in peace and i am most thankful that i never was required to reward yeah oh yeah there's no page breaks i mean that is straight up text that is like a twenty five pound book wow that's a lot of they are points right here my goodness yeah that's a commitment i i don't think i may jump in on that one time soon but so that was what i wanted to share with you was some popular why authors and books that they are most thankful for and i do urge you everybody kind of take a moment to reflect and think about what books they might be most meaningful for because i like it and i just i do you know you always think about you know the people that you're thankful for yeah like that but books are really important to everyone everybody has one book that's really made a difference th speak to that one has a really important to both of us yeah so yeah wonderful book yes very good that was really good do you have those those were all how all your thanksgiving your books you're connecting i can offer you in your corn years of turkey who brings the pumpkin pie and this one is called why we celebrate the way we do things giving another non fiction turkey lots of
