having this thought since since before we started this so i want to share it with you and for you never know yes or no i had this thought you know like well it's no secret that you know we've been doing this for a while which has been really a lot of fun right now sharing our library and our activities and everything that we do when we have a lot of fun preparing or are not you know and you know we just have fun but i was thinking and like all right we you know the episode we do it in two we have two episodes because each is our programs are half hour long right if we did one and we talked about everything we were doing in that month that would be like a long s exactly so we break it down into two half hour sessions and the reason i'm saying that is because you know when they're watching and this is like the second part of february that when when they turn it on because they can't wait to see what's going on away to see book buzz  and actually this one that i'm talking about because of the book that i brought this well it's a new barry the john newbery medal and as we know in our industry there are so many awards that go to such great books promising books you know they can win an award they can be like honorary winners like kind of like runners up you know dr seuss has an award named after him there's so many  girls read crisscross and this shows i wanted to show what the newbery medal awards look what it looks like on a book that we put on a book when you know when we're cataloguing and that goes on to distinguish it as an award winner and so i thought well you know i think people know and read and say well you know why i heard that's a really good heard that that's one awards and yeah that might be a good way to go to you know if you're picking up a book and not really sure what to read write you know to look for some award winners so the newberry award and i'm going to show you one that's up right now for  newberry award annually by the american library association as we know for the most distinguished american children american children's book published at the previous year so we were in two thousand and fifteen have to think about it so yes i'll be picking for a tooth out the book in two thousand and fourteen which this is the one i'm going to show you was written and it is up for an award man back in one wow nine hundred twenty one this frederick melcher proposed the award to the american library association meeting of the children's library and section and suggested it suggested that it be named for the eighteenth century english bookseller john newbury interesting named after you know an english bookseller and so the idea was enthusiastically accepted as we know obviously as we know a lot of people have come to when the newbery and what that the purpose it that the newbery medal in this would also be the purpose of the caldicott which is for picture books so you know we don't need to hold a discussion on what that is i mean you know we've got this one we're you know the more chapter  books and then they are the text in the text exactly but i like how they state that the purpose of the newbery medal is to encourage original creativity to poetry  to excuse me to encourage original creativity work in the field of books for children to emphasize to the public that contributions to the literature for children deserve simular similar simular you know what  yeah ok let's read linda who had to serve similar recognition to poetry plays or novels because they all have their their their awards so this is finally where they're coming and giving children's books and children's authors recognition so they give librarians it says to make it their life's work to serve children's reading interest an opportunity to encourage good writing in this field so which it does you know what i mean if people want to you know read something or maybe suggest something for their kids sometimes just starting with an award winner that at least you know it's to be well written you know whether you know they still don't have to necessarily like it or i like the topic of the story nobody likes you know i find out in my girl's book group nobody everybody has their own taste exactly doesn't mean because it's  yours yeah this was a while ago here's one that was up is up for one this year it's called west of the moon margie prius apparently she has been  yeah that's why a bar brought this because i actually had somebody people you know as they're reading that and seeing who is who are up for awards you know come in and ask for it right you know i had a woman come in and say you know i hear west of the moon is up for you know do you have it well yet we do have it and then of course we wish margie prettiest luck yes absolutely that's exciting i can't even imagine you know what it would be used to be an award winner  it's cool i think that actually now we're informing the parents i'm sure i mean not that we you know our peter township or our library parents necessarily need that because they're all super intelligent and everything but i always thought you know information you read my mind every year like so many movies that are made for children and teens are based upon a very popular bestselling thirteen book and here we go again over when you have a chapter book you have a lot of them to work with exactly with the film writers have to really expand upon the story zack lee so if you look through you know there is like this is it book and while i have not seen the movie so but that's what we're going to talk what you're going to bring out as well but even when you look at that it is not only short in length but very short in words always have meaning to me the lot of them i remember i remember in the second grade so we're going back over twenty years in my lifetime my teacher read this book to us and i thought remember that that's a long time ago so obviously it made an impact to me and i just loved it and then we had a writing assignment she had these little journals for us and i looked i thought maybe i might be had it somewhere but i saw we had to write a story day however we do suggest that you read the book first absolutely and then yeah that you have some background with how they're going to do that again it's interesting when they take a picture book and make it and write the book probably takes ten minutes tops to read so you know you could actually read it on your way to the movie yeah i just see and then yeah read it to the kids and yeah and i like that because that gets back into no matter books that we've talked about like are you  i know that you're the same way that we like to read the books before the movie like that i am too i don't want to see the movie and then go back to the book i like i like to see what they do with it off and a lot of times  novel and go through the movie i have to have a gap in time like if i read the revel in march i can't see that movie for a least a month or two because if i read it and go see it immediately i'll be mad always no matter what they always change things yeah they have to hollywood they have to get that right and so the book super super fresh in my mind then like i'll be like well they don't have a character anymore i don't you know i like stuff like can you know for whatever change endings change that change the whole plot sometimes you know you just go wait a minute that didn't happen see but i'd like to see it right away ok you know i mean it doesn't happen a lot because it's not like i can just hurry up read and run out to see a movie it doesn't happen often but i like when it's a little bit closer but while it's fresh in my mind because my old brain i go oh you know and i can notice a difference is a lot better than when it gets  so it's going to be a lot of fun so we're really excited to have this new system in the library and we already have we x box one and play station four which are the most recent systems we have the games you can check out for your personal is very cold lucky teens yeah yeah it's a great room it is such a great room every time somebody discovers it whether we've talked about this before and i still happens that parents are going back in there and they're looking for maybe picking up a book for their on their child and or whatever for whatever reason has to go back into the young adult room and it's very surprised pleasantly surprised what we have to offer about what a corner room it is everything that's back there you've done a great job a loved that last forever nothing less bakaly you know even the best technologies and the best you know products and things that used to put things together to nothing last love it you know we always have to have things you know cases and things for people to put in something especially fragile like write us hopefully not into the dropbox but if it ends up in the drop off drop box it'll be generation well that's all right then we just skip and we go for the really good stuff right so we have these available again and i'll tell you what when we when our supply of them was getting smaller and smaller and smaller because they were again well used people were asking for them all the time and and it's not just like because it does the games on it and we have the games and we've we've got new games and to me there's you know when you think of games when i was growing up with like space invaders and robot trauma and you know an x man pacman ok well you know you think about some of these as being just for games but there's a lot of educational games on here they with the characters to like you can get like a disney princess again or they think they're playing a princess game but really they're learning their id cs or whatever so it's awesome and they also have games already on them but then you can check them out or you have  and people did especially they like to try out our games because if you if the child already has one of these they'd rather try it out then go out and spend fifty dollars or whatever it cost to write to get it and have the child not like demo but you can check out the device itself yet there bat we're back in business we have a bunch of them so you know they check out one week just like books check out one of these are one one week i've got like as long as a movie yeah exactly or any of our any of our like video games our media yeah usually certainly one one week so come and get one because the supply and demand i'm telling you about it really hard to keep up with it i mea we do a really good job yep all right that's my tack ok well you were talking about the newberry right so i wanted to go ahead and talk about some i brought a lot of books i'm not going to talk a lot about all the i just want to kind of do a little quick compare and contrast that this book by neil gaiman's also won the newbery several years ago called it a hard act because you're graveyard book sure and it's kind of dark it's about a kid that lives in a graveyard and was kind of raised by ghosts and popular books will come out not only with movies as we said but with a graphic novel version of the map so you know some kids like prefer to read graphic novels in my opinion that's just as fine or if they love the book they want to see how they turn it into a graphic so this is brand new has even gone out yet because i grabbed it right away and it's called it's the graveyard book and they're going to do a whole series i guess on that because this is just called volume one hundred one will be but it's a graphic novel adaptation of the national bestseller in newb winner nice so it does for open up and you can see there's dracula there so it is a little bit on the darker side all right but it's interesting to see how they take a book that's mostly text and turn it into a book that's you know mostly illustrations however i read like the opening in the opening was the same tax rise so it's interesting really think of excited to see how well they do that yeah i like that too i have a couple comments on that right number one i don't know what it was on there was just a show on and i don't watch a lot of t v so i don't know how i caught it but it was something where a parent or somebody walked into the room and the young man who was older  think he was older than eighteen and he was reading a graphic novel and that person walked in and said oh i see you're busy with reading your comics and the guy replied he said excuse me graphic novel there is a difference have talked about it and i think these are coming becoming more and more popular and into their own and like you being fascinated on how they they did the graveyard book you know when they started coming out one of the ones that really blew me away is when we were talking last time about romeo and juliet that they came out with the classics in that whole else would you explain that i mean that's really what you do write like this is the front of the book and you read it that way and and explains in the how to read it graphic novel you don't you read it straight across right or what you read you know d clothing and everything ok the mongo classics is a new series we just we also have a couple other ones but this is one that i grabbed if it gets them reading yeah whatever it cost absolutely whatever it takes and i told you yeah ok do you think we have the c d s up there but anyway i love that and i was just saying briefly and out that i just started listening to this one in my car i've always got you know probably like you've got c d s going in our car got a book at home always have that also james patterson i don't know why that this guy ever sleep but to speculate he's never not reading his witch and wizard series which is about a boy and a girl who are basically abducted from their homes because they're considered to be is there and i really don't know i have never been into monga you know it's definitely a young adult area and that's really not my expertise why do they do you know why  into it think some of the ones that are based upon the popular stories like looking at this one i feel like there you just read it and like the way that we read and write in english like straight across  yeah like that i know that this product line for fact i get the nightly written in the that's what i was wondering if it's a little bit of both yeah ok but usually this regular longest series that's how they do that's how they do it because it's that's where they were
