SHE, WE MAKE A MOTION THROUGH NOTES.

BUT I WANNA PULL, UM, THE WARRANT.
WHO DOES THAT MEAN? YOU WANNA PULL THE WARRANT? I WANT, I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT IT SO THAT WE DON'T JUST THROW IT ON THERE WITHOUT ANY DISCUSSION.
YOU HONOR, JUST, I, I NEED OKAY.

I THINK YOU NEED TO HAVE A SECOND FOR THE MOTION.
SO THEN YOU HAVE TO APPROVE THE A WITH ONE AND TWOS.
SO WE WE'RE MAKING A MOTION TO APPROVE THE MINUTES WITH THE DATE ROTATION.
UH, MY QUESTION, UM, WITH THE, UM, WARRANTIES LISTED 27,000 FOR THIS
THIS IS OUR FINAL YEAR WITH THIS CONTRACT.
WE SET A NEW PROJECT WITH OUR NEW ILS SYSTEM, WHICH WILL BE GOING INTO 27.
SO THIS IS OUR FINAL USE THAT.
UM, BUT TYPICALLY WITH THE SERVICES, IT'S USUALLY LIKE A SET LIKE A YEAR OR TWO.
AND THEN EVERY YEAR AFTER THAT, IT'S A THREE OR 2% INCREASE.
IS THIS MOSTLY DATABASES OR IS IT, UH, IT'S, IT'S HOW WE ESSENTIALLY RUN THE LIBRARY.
IT'S THE LIBRARY CARDS OR CATALOG.
IT'S OUR, UH, UH, ALL OF THAT STUFF.
THE INTERNAL, LIKE INTEGRATED LIBRARY STUFF.
DOES NATIONAL CITY LIBRARY HAVE A LOT OF DATABASES, LIKE RESEARCH DATABASES? UH, WE DO HAVE DATABASES THAT COMES WITH A SEPARATE SUBSCRIPTION, USUALLY THROUGH LIKE EPCO, UH, OVERDRIVE OR THAT WE APPROVE THE WORKS.
SO, UH, SO, AND THEN AT THE LAST MEETING BRIEFLY, BUT WE HAD OUR BURY HUNT AT THE END OF MARCH, UM, WHICH IS MARCH 28TH.
WE HAD OVER 350 RESIDENTS JOIN US.
UM, WE HID THOUSANDS OF EGGS, BUILT THE LIBRARY.
WE GOT SOME PETS, SOME, UH, FOND LOCAL TICKETS IN THERE.
UM, AND THE FAMILIES THAT ARE REALLY GREAT THAT, AS FOR, SO WE BOTH SECOND TURNING 2027 FOR NEXT YEAR.
WE HAD OUR COMICAL OF YARD PROGRAM.
UM, THEY WERE ACTUALLY FEATURED RECENTLY, UH, ON NBC SEVEN SAN DIEGO.
THEY DID IT BOTH IN ENGLISH AND SPANISH,
[00:05:01]
WHICH WAS WONDERFUL.UM, AND IT JUST TALK ABOUT THE PROGRAM AND, UM, LIKE THE LITTLE COMMUNITY THAT THEY BUILT.
AND, UM, THEY ACTUALLY, DURING IT, THEY HAD SEVERAL PEOPLE SIGN UP.
AND IT BECOME A REALLY, REALLY POPULAR PROGRAM.
AND IT'S PRETTY SELF-SUFFICIENT.
WE HAVE A STAFF MEMBER IN THERE, BUT YOU BRING YOUR OWN SUPPLIES, YOU BRING YOUR YARN AND IT'S MORE OF LIKE A KNITTING CIRCLE CAN COME AND CHANGE IDEAS.
UM, AND THEN IF YOU DON'T REALLY KNOW, LIKE IT'S NOT AS TEACHING, BUT YOU KNOW MM-HMM
IT'S A NICE LITTLE LIKE, COMMUNITY.
SO WE'VE GOTTEN MORE AND MORE PEOPLE SIGNING UP AND IT WAS, IT WAS LOVELY TO SEE IT IN A, LIKE A FUN HIGHLIGHT ON, ON THE NEWS FOR THE, UM, THEN THEY STARTED OUT THE CITY WEBSITE AND PROGRAM.
UM, WE ALSO HAD, UH, FAMILY LITERACY PARTNERS, SAN DIEGO.
PUBLIC LIBRARIES LITERACY DEPARTMENT.
SO WE PARTNERED WITH THEM TO DO THIS MONTH NAME VIDEO, WHICH IS ABOUT, UM, ASIAN AMERICAN PACIFIC ISLAND WHO
UM, THEY, OUR STAFF, WHAT I FILLED IN THEIR STUDIO DOWN, DOWN, UM, AT CENTRAL LIBRARY.
UM, IF YOU GUYS WANNA SEE IT, WE CAN HAPPILY SEND YOU THE BOOK YOUTUBE LINK AND YOU GUYS CAN CAN CHECK IT OUT.
UH, BUT THE IDEA IS LIKE TO BRING MORE LITERACY DEPARTMENTS TOGETHER SO THAT YOU KNOW, THESE, THE PEOPLE IN SAN DIEGO COULD SEE WHAT WE'RE DOING OR WHAT THEY'RE DOING AND THEN GIVE IDEAS EACH OTHER.
UM, 'CAUSE WE SHARE THE SAME GOALS.
UH, AND THEN WE PRESENTED OUR ANNUAL GOALS REPORT.
UM, AS OUR CHAIR, IT WAS, UM, VERY WELL RECEIVED.
I GOT A LOT OF COMMENTS FROM STAFF ABOUT HOW WONDERFUL THE PRESENTATION WAS.
UM, OUR, UH, SPEAKER CLERK SAID, BEEN THE BEST ONE SHE COULD SEEN IN SEVERAL YEARS AND SHE WAS VERY PLEASED WITH IT.
UH, AND OF COURSE MARGARET KTA SUPPORT
AND IT WAS A, IT WAS A LITTLE LONG, LITTLE LONG.
I, I TRIED NOW I TRIED TO GET IT IN A LITTLE SLIMER, BUT, YOU KNOW, UM, UNFORTUNATELY THAT WAS NOT KNOW MEANT TO BE, BUT, UH,
UH, BUT YEAH, IT WAS, IT WAS VERY WELL RECEIVED AND IT WAS, IT WAS A GREAT REPORT.
UH, AND IT REALLY HIGHLIGHTED A LOT OF BRANDING, BUT THE LIBRARY DOES.
THAT'S, THAT'S ALL I HAVE FOR, FOR APRIL.
ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE, ANYTHING? I HAVE THIS QUESTION, NOT ABOUT THESE, BUT A QUESTION ABOUT, UM, WITH THE CITY GOING THROUGH ITS PROBLEMS AND BUDGET.
HAVE THEY MENTIONED ANYTHING TO YOU ABOUT HOW IT'S GONNA HAPPEN AS FAR AS HOURS? AND SO, UM, WE JUST HAD OUR FIRST BUDGET WORKSHOP MONDAY, JUST THIS LAST MONDAY.
UH, AND ESSENTIALLY WAS PRESENTED TO COUNCIL WHERE WE'RE AT IN TERMS OF THE BUDGET.
UM, AS WE KNOW, WE'RE $16 MILLION CURRENTLY OVER BUDGET.
WE HAVE 13 MILLION IN OUR RESERVES.
SO WE'RE LOOKING TO CLOSE THAT GAP OF 3 MILLION FROM THE VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS IN THE CITY.
UM, WE ARE GOING TO BE HAVING ANOTHER BUDGET WORKSHOP, I BELIEVE IN TWO WEEKS.
UM, AND THAT WILL BE PRESENTING TO, UM, THE COUNCIL, OUR IDEAS ON HOW TO SAVE MONEY, UM, THAT CAN BE UNFILLED POSITION, THINGS OF THAT NATURE.
AND THAT'S WHERE WE'LL GO FIRST.
WE LOOK AT TOUCHING ANY SORT OF, UM, YOU KNOW, CURRENT STAFF AT OUR LIBRARY HOURS.
THOSE ARE PRIORITIES FOR US, KEEPING OUR SERVICE LEVEL WHERE WE'RE AT, UM, AND SEEING HOW WE CAN FUNCTION IF WE WERE TO BE BRU A COUPLE POSITION IN THAT.
UM, SO THIS IS JUST THE FIRST I, AND IT COULD BE BE THAT WHAT WE PRESENT AT THIS MEETING IS ONLY, BUT OF COURSE YOU, IT COMES DOWN TO WHAT IT ALL LOOKS LIKE IN THE END.
UM, BUT I WOULD DO MY VERY BEST TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DO NOT CUT HOURS OR SERVICES TO THE PUBLIC.
UM, BUT OF COURSE YOU WILL SEE HELP US AS WE GO THROUGH THE BUDGET CYCLE THE NEXT SIX WEEKS OR SO.
THE STAFF HAS DONE SO WELL GETTING GRANTS.
AND, AND WE'LL CONTINUE TO LOOK FOR GRANTS AND
UH, WE, I BELIEVE CAN ALWAYS USE MORE VOLUNTEERS THERE IN THE AFTERNOON IF ANYBODY WOULD BE INTERESTED.
UH, GET CONTACT WITH, UH, WITH UH, FRIENDS AT THE COOK STORE.
BUT IT'S MOVING ALONG WHERE ESPECIALLY,
[00:10:01]
UM, WITH ONE OF THE PROGRAMS THAT WE HAVE WHERE THE INCOME IS IN CHARGE OF IT AND THEY SCAN THE BOOKS AND WHEREAS WE SELL OUR BOOKS FOR 50 CENTS OR DOLLAR, THEY SOMETIMES CAN GET UP TO $50 FOR SOME OF THE BOOKS AND HE SCANS AND SEIZURE THERAPY, SOMETHING HE CAN SELL, I GUESS HE SELLS.AND THEN WE GET A PERCENTAGE OF THAT ONE, WHICH IS ALWAYS MORE THAN DOLLAR.
IT'S BEEN PRETTY, PRETTY WELL RECEIVED AND VERY, VERY
IN THAT CASE WE'RE GOING ON BOARD NUMBER FIVE.
SO ONE, I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW AND THANK YOU.
'CAUSE SARAH DEFINITELY HAS HELPED.
UM, NICO'S CLASS AND THEN THE OTHER FIRST GRADE CLASS ARE GONNA BE GOING TO THE LAST DATES ON MAY 13TH.
UM, AND THEN WE GOT A LOT OF KIDS TO SIGN UP FOR THE CARD.
I DON'T KNOW HOW
UM, AND THEY'RE CALLING IT EES TRIP.
OH, YOU KNOW, EVERY MONTH WE SAY WE'RE AT THE BOOKSTORE, BUT BLAH.
THEY'RE LIKE, OH, THIS IS EES.
AH, AND I, I ASKED THEM WHEN THEY DO THE TOUR, IF THEY CAN REMIND THE KIDS WHERE THE BOOKSTORE IS BECAUSE WE'VE HAD A COUPLE COMMENTS SAY THEY CAME IN BUT THEY COULDN'T INVITE IT.
AND I'M LIKE, BUT THEY JUST SHOW 'EM, YOU KNOW, THAT WAY THEY CAN STOP BY, YOU KNOW? 'CAUSE I KEEP TELLING 'EM THERE'S REALLY GOOD BOOKS AND THEY'RE CHEAP.
SO THAT, AND THEN MY OTHER, UH, COMMENT WAS MANY YEARS WHEN I WAS ON THE BOARD AND MIN WAS STILL AROUND AND WE WERE REVIEWING THE RULES.
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE KEPT BRINGING UP WAS
AND THAT MAKES ME, YOU KNOW, I GET THE LIBRARIES FOR EVERYTHING THAT, MY CONCERN IS, SOME OF THE PEOPLE THAT I'VE SEEN GOING IN THERE ARE SO FILTHY AND I HAVE KIDS, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? SO IT'S LIKE, WE WENT INTO THE BATHROOM ONE OF THE DAYS THAT WE STOPPED BY AND THERE WAS A LADY BATHING IN THE BATH IN THE BATHROOM WAS DISCUSSED.
AND ANOTHER DAY THAT WE STOPPED BY, THERE WAS THIS MAN WHO HAD THIS CART FULL OF STUFF THAT WAS FILTHY.
AND IT'S LIKE, I GET IT THAT THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO DO THIS, BUT IT'S NOT HEALTHY FOR THE REST OF US.
ESPECIALLY THOSE OF US THAT HAVE KIDS.
I
WELL, WE, WE DO HAVE A CODE OF CONDUCT.
UM, WHICH BASICALLY STATES THAT, UH, YOU CAN BRING ITEMS, THINK THAT THERE IS A SET LIKE SIZE, SIZE THAT YOU COULD BRING INTO THE LIBRARY.
SO YOU KNOW, THAT THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE CAN ENFORCE.
UM, IF YOU SEE SOMEONE BATHING IN THE RESTROOM, YOU TELL A STAFF MEMBER, THEY WILL GO, YOU KNOW, TELL 'EM THEY CAN'T DO THAT.
YOU KNOW, OF COURSE THE RESTROOMS ARE ALWAYS A PLACE OF SORT OF CONTENTION.
UM, BECAUSE IT'S LIKE, IT'S A PRIVATE OF THE SPACE.
THEY CAN GO TO THINGS AND IT'S REALLY HARD FOR STAFF TO HAVE, YOU KNOW, FULLY STAFF KIND OF SPACE STANDING THERE ALL DAY, UNFORTUNATELY.
UM, AND BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS A PUBLIC BUILDING, IT IS, WE CAN'T BAN PEOPLE FROM COMING IN MM-HMM
BUT IF THERE ARE COMPLAINTS REGARDING HYGIENE, THINGS LIKE THAT, STAFF MEMBERS CAN ASK THEM TO LEAVE, PROVIDE THEM WITH RESOURCE FOR, YOU KNOW, SHOWERS THEY, AND THEN THEY CAN RETURN.
UM, SO AS LONG AS THE FOLKS THAT ARE CODE OF CONDUCT, WHICH A LOT OF THESE THINGS DO, AND WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF REVIEWING THEM CURRENTLY SO THAT WE CAN BE MORE UP TO DATE AND MORE IN LINE WITH SAN DIEGO PUBLIC AND THE COUNTY.
SO, YOU KNOW, IT'S A MORE CROSS SYSTEM TYPE THING.
UM, WE, I WORKED BEFORE THE REVIEW TREATMENT THAT WE WANT TO REVIEW THEM.
BUT BECAUSE IT IS A PUBLIC BUILDING, IT IS MORE DIFFICULT TO STOP FROM COMING IN JUST BECAUSE THEY MM-HMM
AND THAT'S JUST, OR THE NATURE OF THE LIFE, THE, THE MAN THAT WE SAW WAS CARRYING LIKE THE LITTLE SHOPPING CART AND LIKE, AND HE HAD A GUY ON THE BOTTOM AND HE'S LIKE, IF HE HAPPENS TO SPILL THAT, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? AND IT'S JUST KIND OF LIKE, HE WAS JUST DISGUSTING, TO BE HONEST.
SO, YOU KNOW, I'M LIKE, I, I DON'T WANNA, I DON'T WANNA BRING MY KIDS THERE IF THOSE ARE THE TYPE OF PEOPLE THAT ARE SITTING WITH SOME OF STUFF, BECAUSE HOW DO I KNOW THAT IT'S CLEAN AND I GET IT, I GET IT.
THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO READ, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, I HAVE A RIGHT TO NOT TO GET MY KIDS DICK WITH WHATEVER THEY'RE BRINGING IN.
SO, AND YOU, IT IS SOMETHING THAT, YOU KNOW, LIKE, LIKE I SAID, WE DISCUSSED MANY YEARS AGO, AND THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS BROUGHT UP SEVERAL TIMES.
PEOPLE WOULD BRING IN BLANKETS AND,
[00:15:01]
YOU KNOW, THERE'S THINGS THAT COULD BE IN THOSE BLANKETS AND, AND THAT'S TOTALLY UNDERSTANDABLE AND YOU'RE WELCOME TO ASK STAFF LIKE A WIPE OR WHATEVER THEY'RE NAVIGATING DO.AND JUST SO YOU KNOW, THERE'S DIFFERENT RULES FOR A CHILDREN'S AREA MM-HMM
SO LIKE, ADULTS ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE IN THAT AREA IF THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY CHILD WITH THEM, OR THEY'RE NOT BROW FOR CHILDREN'S BOOKS.
SO MAJORITY OF OUR HOUSE INDIVIDUALS DO NOT FREQUENT THAT AREA VERY OFTEN.
SPACE THAN THE OTHER PARTS OF THE LIBRARY TRADITIONALLY.
UM, BUT I DO UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.
UM, THAT'S WHY MOST ROUGH FURNITURE IS FINE OR WOOD OR PLASTIC.
UM, BECAUSE OF THOSE TYPE OF TYPE THINGS.
DO WE HAVE LIKE A MEDIATION SERVICE OR SOMETHING THAT COMES EVER SO OFTEN? WELL, WE HAVE A, WE HAVE JANITORS THAT COME, WE HAVE A MORNING JANITOR AND AN AFTERNOON JANITOR.
SO THEY, THEY DO CLEAN PERIODICALLY THROUGHOUT THE DAY FOR BUILDING.
SO UNFORTUNATELY THE PUBLIC NOT ALWAYS AS CLEAN AS WE WOULD LIKE.
AND SO IT IS HARD TO MAINTAIN THAT LEVEL OF CLEANLINESS IN THE BUILDING.
UM, IF WE WERE TO HAVE SOME SORT OF, YOU KNOW, OUTBREAK OR SEE SOMETHING, OBVIOUSLY WE WISH WE WOULD BE ABLE TO HAVE SOMEBODY COME AND CARE OF THAT.
BUT WE HAVEN'T HAD ANY, AS FAR AS I KNOW, ANY OUTBREAK LIBRARY BUGS OR SPECIFIC THINGS LIKE THAT.
UM, BUT THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING, IF IT DID OCCUR, WE WOULD HAVE 10 TO.
AND, UM, TEAM MEMBERS AT THE LIBRARY, ARE THEY ABLE TO PROVIDE LIKE SANITATION, EITHER LIKE, UH, CLEANLINESS WIPES OR ANYTHING? YOU CAN JUST USE IT IF YOU WANTED TO.
YOU CAN ASK IF THE DATA, THEY HAVE A, THEY COULD AND WE SHOULD HAND SANITIZER AROUND THE BUILDING.
SO THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT YOU CAN USE.
UM, AND I KNOW SARAH, THE ORDERS OF THE, ALRIGHT.
UM, I THINK YOU SAID MAYBE A FEW MONTHS AGO THAT THERE'S A WAY TO SUGGEST FOR THE, IS THAT ON THE WEBSITE? UH, I DON'T, I DON'T KNOW.
HE'S OUR, HE'S OUR TOOL LIBRARIAN.
UM, IT MIGHT BE MORE, I, I DON'T KNOW IF HE HAS A, A COMMENT IN THE SPECIFIC WEBSITE, BUT THERE MIGHT BE LIKE A COMMENT CARD YOU CAN ADD OR IF YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS, YOU COULD SEND THEM TO US AND WE CAN FORWARD THEM.
BUT I WILL ASK HIM, UH, WHEN I GET BACK, I'LL EMAIL HIM AND ASK HIM IF THERE IS, I DON'T, I DON'T THINK THERE IS, BUT MAYBE, BUT I
I JUST WAS WONDERING IF THAT MAYBE I JUST DIDN'T SEE IT.
BUT THAT IS A GOOD IDEA TO HAVE LIKE SUGGESTIONS FOR ADDITIONAL STUFF TO ADD.
YEAH, I FORGOT I WANTED TO TELL YOU THIS, UM, FRIEND OF MY SISTER WHO WORKS IN THEY'RE NUNS, UM, WANTED TO GET SOME BOOKS IN SPANISH TO TAKE BACK THE GROUP.
SO I TOLD HER, OH WELL WE GOTTA COME TO THE FRIENDS BOOKSTORE.
SO SHE WAS VERY EXCITED ABOUT THAT.
SHE LOOKED AT THE BOOKS AND SHE WANTED TO FIND 20 BOOKS OH, DO PLUS GIVING A DONATION TO THE FRIENDS.
THAT'S LIKE TO HEAR THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE TO YEAH.
MY PARENTS COME EVERY, EVERY MONTH AND THEY TAKE A FEW.
WHERE DO THE MAJORITY OF THE DONATIONS COME FROM? WITH FRIENDS? THEY COME FROM NATIONAL CITY, I WOULD IMAGINE.
IT'S JUST SORT OF WHERE I, IT JUST, IT DEPENDS ON LIKE WHO, SO SOME ARE DONATIONS FROM THE PUBLIC, SOME ARE BOOKS THAT WE'VE WEED FROM OUR COLLECTION.
AND THE PUBLIC CAN COME FROM, YOU KNOW, WHEREVER.
UM, YOU KNOW, SOME PEOPLE CAN HAVE LIKE A HUGE COLLECTION, LIKE I WANNA GET RID OF IT AND MM-HMM
LIKE THEIR LOCAL LIBRARY WON'T TAKE IT.
UM, AS A SEGUE, I JUST WANTED TO ASK, UH, SO, YOU KNOW, WE LEFT SAN DIEGO 15 YEARS AGO, SO IT'S VERY DIFFERENT NOW, BUT UH, WE FOUND THE, UH, WHAT IS IT, THE BOOK CRAWL? SURE.
UH, THIS YEAR, I DON'T KNOW HOW OLD IT'S BEEN NOW, BUT UH, IT WAS, I NOTICED THAT THE SOUTHERN MOST BOOKSTORE WAS
AND WAS WONDERING DOES THE LIBRARY HAVE ANY KIND OF RELATIONSHIP WITH THEM? BECAUSE I KNOW THAT APPARENTLY THE SAN DIEGO LIBRARY DOES KIND OF POST THINGS WITH 'EM.
I DON'T KNOW, FOR NEXT YEAR, SOMEWHERE IN THE FUTURE WE COULD PROBABLY THEIR LOGAN HEIGHT LIBRARY MOST LIKELY IS THE ONE THAT HOST THINGS WITH THEM.
TYPICALLY IF IT'S LIKE A BOOKSTORE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT AND THEY'RE NEAR A LIBRARY.
UM, FOR INSTANCE, LIKE MCCOY LIBRARY, JUST A LOT OF THINGS FOR W MM-HMM
UM, THEY HOSTED, UM, LIKE LARGE EVENTS LIKE, UM, FOR INSTANCE THEY HOST AT JANE GOODALL AT THE LIBRARY FOR WARWICK BECAUSE THE LIBRARY'S A MUCH LARGER SPACE.
UH, I DON'T KNOW IF WE HAVE ANY BOOKS FOR US HERE IN A CITY.
I MEAN, WE'RE NOT OPPOSED TO HOSTING THINGS.
[00:20:01]
JUST, THEY TYPICALLY GRAVITATE TOWARDS THE COMMUNITY THAT THEY'RE IN.BUT WE ARE HAPPY TO HOST, YOU KNOW, WHOEVER WOULD LIKE TO COME MM-HMM
SO IF THEY WANNA REACH OUT, WE, THAT'S A COOL IDEA.
'CAUSE THAT'S A REALLY POPULAR EVENT.
A LOT OF MY STUDENTS WENT MM-HMM
FUN WAY FOR PEOPLE TO GET TO EXPLORE WORKFORCE.
ANYTHING ELSE? UH, JUST A QUICK QUESTION.
AS WE'RE IN MAY AND WE'RE GETTING CLOSER TO THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR, WHAT DOES THE LIBRARY HAVE USUALLY, LIKE WHEN IT COMES TO PROGRAMMING FOR, SO WE DO SUMMER READING EVERY YEAR.
IT'S GONNA START JUNE 6TH IS THE KICKOFF, UM, TO SATURDAY.
AND WE USUALLY, WE HAVE IT, UM, FROM JUNE TO THE END OF JULY TYPICALLY, BUT WE STILL REDEEM PRIZE THIS THE END OF AUGUST.
UM, AND WE HAVE A PROGRAMMING EVERY WEEK.
IT'S TYPICALLY THE SAME THING.
SO WE'LL HAVE LIKE A BIG SUMMER READING PROGRAM.
SO LIKE THE PERFORMER WILL COME, UM, I THINK THIS YEAR WE HAVE LIKE ALL THE GARDENS COMING.
WE HAVE MUSICAL GUESTS, IMAGINE ANIMALS, STUFF LIKE THAT.
WE DO LUNCH AT THE LIBRARY THREE TIMES A WEEK, USUALLY MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY.
SO LIKE, AND THURSDAY, DEPENDING ON WHAT THEY DECIDE DOWNSTAIRS.
THEN WE HAVE A PROGRAM USUALLY EVERY DAY IN THE AFTERNOON.
SO IT SWISS FROM THE, UM, FROM LIKE EVENING TO LIKE EARLY AFTERNOON BECAUSE THEY'RE OUT OF SCHOOL.
UM, AND THEN THE PROGRAM IS THEY GET, THEY READ FIVE BOOKS, THEY GET PRIZE AND THE MORE BOOKS THEY READ, THE MORE PRIZE THAT THEY GET.
UM, THIS YEAR WE WILL BE HAVING, UH, A NEW EDITION OF, UM, THE SAN CLAIRE WILL BE GIVING US FREE PASSES FOR BOTH ADULTS AND CHILDREN.
UM, SO WE'RE, YOU KNOW, WE ADD EVERY YEAR AND THEN WE ALSO LOOK AT OUR VOCAL, UM, BUSINESSES AND A LOT OF THEM WILL DONATE TO COUPON, GIFT CARDS, THINGS LIKE THAT.
AND THEN WE WRAP UP USUALLY THE FIRST WEEK OF AUGUST, SO WE DON'T GO INSIDE WITH A, UM, OF PLAY AT OLIVE WOOD MM-HMM
AND THEN, UM, WE HAND OUT OUR FINAL PRIZE, WHATEVER HAPPEN.
UM, AND THEN WE KEEP REDEEMING TO THE END OF AUGUST.
YEAH, BECAUSE I'M LIKE, KIDS ARE ALREADY GETTING UP TO SCHOOL AND CRAZY.
