Shelley speaks with Michelle McConville, Programming & Outreach Coordinator, Anne Arundel County Public Library about summer programs.
A
Welcome
to
parents
corner
today
we're
going
to
be
talking
about
summer
reading
and
we
have
with
us
here
today:
Michelle
McConville
from
the
Anne
Arundel
County
Public
Library.
It's
so
wonderful
to
see
you
today,
I
thought.
The
thing
that
we
would
start
with
is
just
before
we
talk
about
reading
is
just
a
little
bit
about
you.
Well.
B
Thank
you
for
having
me
on
the
show
today.
I
am
a
programming
and
outreach
coordinator
with
Anne
Arundel
County
Public
Libraries,
which
means
that
I
work
in
our
library
headquarters
for
doing
system-wide
initiatives
before
that
I
was
at
the
Edgewater
library,
as
one
of
our
programmers
and
I
got
to
to
story
times
and
programs
for
children
of
all
ages.
So
that's
where
I
started
with
the
library.
Okay,.
A
And
I
think
you
know
I
used
to
work
for
the
public
library,
so
I
love
story
time.
So
I
brought
you
here
today
because
I
want
to
make
sure
that
parents
get
all
the
information
they
can
get
about
what
the
public
library
does
to
incentivize
reading
during
the
summer.
So
I
know
every
year
you
have
some
kind
of
program,
it's
okay,
there's
so
much
to
say,
but
if
you
could
just
sort
of
give
us
an
idea
of
what
that
looks,
like
sure,
absolutely.
B
A
B
We
have
a
paper
log,
so
they
can
use
the
paper
log
to
just
mark
off
the
days
on
the
calendar.
Okay,
we
also
have
the
challenge
available
online.
If
you
start
at
our
website,
you
can
find
the
challenge
online
as
well
as
through
a
an
app,
so
you
don't
actually
even
have
to
come
into
the
library
to
put
to
participate
with
our
summer
at
your
library
challenge.
Okay,.
B
A
B
Use
teenagers
throughout
our
library
system
from
the
county,
so
some
of
our
residents
a
lot
of
times.
These
are
kids
that
have
grown
up
in
the
library
and
they
can
volunteer
for
this
summer
to
help
out
the
library
with
our
summer,
at
your
library,
events
for
our
our
challenge
and
it's
just
an
opportunity
for
them
to
get
some
of
their
service
hours
discounts
there.
Their
time
works
for
service
hours,
work,
experience.
C
B
Experience
for
a
lot
of
our
volunteers,
this
is
the
first
opportunity
that
they
have
had
to
see
what
work
might
be
like.
We,
they
have
to
fill
out
an
application.
We
some
libraries
do
interviews,
so
it
gives
kids
that
opportunity
to
experience
what
an
interview
might
be
like
and
then
following
a
schedule.
So
it's
a
really
nice
opportunity
for
the
kids
to
get
some
experience
and
it's
great
for
the
library
to
have
our
youth
in
our
libraries
helping
us
for
the
summer
right.
B
A
B
So
anybody
anybody
that
completes
the
program,
whether
that
is
a
three-month-old,
where
they're
being
read
to
or
coming
to
the
library
or
up
to
a
96
year
old
grandma.
That
is
also
doing
the
program
can
choose
from
one
of
three
prizes.
We
have
free
books
for
our
school-aged
children,
so
we
have
book
titles
that
are
appropriate
from
birth,
to
I,
want
to
say
about
seventh
grade,
or
they
could
choose
a
writing
journal
with
our
summer
at
your
library,
logo
on
it
or
a
book
tote.
So
whatever
96.
B
B
A
Sometimes
people
don't
think
that
they
think
all
I
need
to
be.
My
child
needs
to
be
reading
before
we
can
sign
up
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
people
hear
that
that
is
reading
to
your
child
and
I.
Remember
when
my
oldest
who's
now
18
was
a
little
little
tiny
little
person
and
I
logged
all
the
books
and
I
guess
that
which
is
such
a
nice
keepsake
yeah.
A
A
C
B
Yes
and
again,
you
can
do
that
by
you
can
sign
up
in
our
libraries
and
children
get
stickers
for
every
hundred
books
that
they
reach,
or
they
can
also
do
that
online
and
they
can,
through
our
online
program,
called
bean
stack.
They
can
actually
keep
track
of
the
books
that
they're
reading
so
it'll
actually
hold
a
log
of
all
of
the
books
at
their
reading.
Yeah.
A
B
A
A
So
another
piece
of
what
you
all
have
going
on,
you
talked
about
programs
right,
so
are
there
any
specific
programs
that
space
oriented
or
anything
do
you
have
performers
coming
in
I
know
in
the
past?
You've
had
things
like
that.
So
what's
it
going
to
look
like
this
summer,
which
it
people
be
making
sure
they
put
on
their
calendar?
Well,.
B
You
definitely
want
to
check
out
all
of
our
events
online,
so
we
have
a
full
calendar
of
events
that
you
can
find
on
our
website
and
definitely
plan
your
summer
around
what
we're
doing.
As
I
said,
we
have
thousands
of
programs.
Some
of
those
programs
are
presented
by
outside
performers,
so
we
have,
for
instance,
Joe
Romano,
who
is
a
magician
who
has
been
coming
to
Anne
Arundel
County
Public
Library,
since
my
girls
were
little
yeah.
His
program
this
year
is
take
me
to
your
readers.
B
B
B
One
that
you
would
maybe
have
to
travel
for,
because
it's
not
going
to
be
something
that's
available
in
all
of
our
branches.
We've
set
the
program
up
that.
Hopefully
there
is
something
that
for
families
that
have
the
ability
to
go
from
to
go
to
different
branches,
that
there's
something
new
and
different
for
them
that
they
could
actually
spend
their
entire
summer
with
us,
but
then
there's
also
plenty
of
programs
that
are
going
to
be
in
each
location.
A
Okay,
keep
the
excitement
up.
So
speaking
of
the
excitement
up
a
part
of
the
reason
that
I
wanted
to
bring
you
here
and
and
to
have
this
so
that
parents
could
see
it
is
because
reading
is
so
important
and
and
so
important
specifically
in
the
summer,
and
you
speak
to
that
a
little
bit
like
why.
Why
should
parents
make
sure
that
their
kids
have
books
in
their
hands
during
this
summer?
Why?
Why
does
that
matter?.
B
Yeah
absolutely
and
that's
a
good
thing
too,
but
there
is
something
called
the
Summer
Slide,
and
that
is
a
term
that
they
use
for
the
loss
of
learning
over
the
summer
months
right.
So
if
our
students
are
not
actively
reading
or
doing
literacy
based
activities
over
the
summer,
they
actually
learn
lose
a
lot
of
the
learning
that
they
had
from
the
previous
year.
B
So
our
schools
work
at
such
a
fast
pace
that
when
the
kids
go
back
to
school
in
the
fall,
our
teachers
are
starting
right
away
with
new
curriculum,
and
so
if
we
can
help
them
hold
on
to
some
of
that
learning
by
reading
throughout
the
summer,
and
by
coming
to
some
of
our
library,
programs
or
educational
programs,
then
that's
going
to
give
them
a
better
jump
when
they
go
back
to
school,
starting
off
in
September.
Right.
A
And
what
I've
always
thought?
It's
so
wonderful,
especially
about
picture
books,
is
that
there
are
so
many
rare
words
that
we
just
don't
use
yeah
our
regular
language.
Absolutely
are
you
and
I
was
a
media?
Specialist
I
would
love
to
stop
and
be
like
whoa?
What
does
that
word
mean
like?
Where
did
that
come
from
yeah,
because
the
kids
would
love
learning
a
new
word,
so
that's
one
of
the
things
that
parents
can
do
is
to
ask
the
kids
what
their
what
they're
reading,
but.
B
Oh
most
definitely
I'm
sharing
a
book
with
a
child.
Is
you
know
one
of
the
joys
of
being
able
to
spend
time
with
young
people,
so
reading
can
be
everything
from
being
read
to
to
reading
together
where
you're
actually
reading
a
book
with
your
child
gives
another
experience
and
even
with
older
kids
reading
the
same
book,
maybe
simultaneously.
So
then
you've
got
an
opportunity
to
talk
about
what.
B
A
A
Yeah,
which
is
felt
actually
and
there's
so
many
good
children's
books
where
our
young
adult
books
that
it's
it's
marvelous
yeah,
oh
so
I
knew
this
was
going
to
go
fast
because
there's
so
much
good
stuff
to
talk
about,
but
we're
we're
pretty
much
out
of
time.
Really
quick.
Could
you
want
to
show
us?
You
brought
a
picture.
Bob
asked
you
to
bring
some
with
you,
so
we
only
have
a
minute
but
go
ahead
so.
B
This
is
a
book
called
grandma's
purse
by
Vanessa
Brantley
Newton,
it's
actually
from
2018,
but
I
really
like
it,
because
I
think
we
can
all
relate
to
it.
It's
a
little
a
little
girl,
that's
very
excited
that
her
grandmother's
coming
to
visit
and
part
of
what
she
loves
is
going
through
her
grandma's
purse
and
seeing
all
of
the
fun
things
that
her
grandmother
has
and
all
the
stories
that
they
share
because
of
what's
found
in
grandma's.
