          [00:00:08]
HI EVERYONE. 
          WELCOME BACK TO CHECK IT OUT. 
          WE'RE YOUR NEW HOST. 
          I'M ASHLEY, AND I AM BLAIR. 
          AND WE'RE SO EXCITED TO SHAKE UP YOUR SHELVES BY SHARING THE HAPPENINGS AT YOUR GRAND PRAIRIE PUBLIC LIBRARIES. 
          I DID NOT GET THE MEMO ABOUT THE PERSONALIZED SWEATERS. 
          WELL, YEAH, IT'S A BIG DEAL. 
          WE'RE THE NEW HOSTS. 
          I WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW MY NAME. 
          PEOPLE WILL DEFINITELY KNOW YOUR NAME. 
          RIGHT? OKAY, SO WHERE ARE WE BEGINNING? OH, BEFORE WE START, DID YOU SEE THE NEW EPISODE OF READING FIVE HOURS? NO, I DIDN'T. 
          IT WAS ON LAST NIGHT. 
          YOU DIDN'T SEE IT? NO. 
          OH MY GOSH. 
          OH MY GOSH. 
          PULL IT UP. 
          HOLD UP. 
          WE GOTTA START. 
          JUST HOLD ON. 
          WE GOTTA, THIS IS IMPORTANT. 
          OKAY. 
          IT WAS REALLY GOOD. 
          THE GOOD NEWS IS GRAND PRAIRIE HAS THREE LIBRARIES FULL OF MATERIALS READY FOR YOU TO CHECK IT OUT. 
          THE BAD NEWS IS THAT ONE CANNOT POSSIBLY READ ALL OF THOSE MATERIALS BEFORE THE END OF SUMMER READING CLUB, BUT ONE CAN TRY. 
          I'M PAIGE TURNER HERE WITH ANOTHER EPISODE OF READING FIVE HOURS. 
          TONIGHT I AM JOINED BY SUMMER REED WHO IS GOING TO GIVE US THE INSIDE SCOOP ON HOW TO BOOST READING HOURS FOR SUMMER READING CLUB AT THE GRAND PRAIRIE LIBRARIES. 
          THAT'S NO RANDOM SHELF OF BOOKS BEHIND ME. 
          THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF BOOKS HERE AT THE GRAND PRAIRIE LIBRARY, ALL OF WHICH WILL BE READ BY A LIBRARY PATRON SOMEDAY. 
          THOSE THAT ARE READ BEFORE THE END OF AUGUST WILL BE ABLE TO BE TRACKED ON PATRON'S READING LOGS AND COUNT TOWARDS READING HOURS. 
          BUT WHAT COUNTS TOWARDS READING HOURS, WE FOUND IT'S NOT JUST READING BOOKS. 
          EVERY PROGRAM THAT PATRONS COME TO COUNTS AS AN HOUR OF READING. 
          BUT REMEMBER, IT'S NOT ONLY KIDS THAT CAN PARTAKE IN THIS READING CHALLENGE, BUT ADULTS AS WELL. 
          SOME FOLKS MIGHT NOT KNOW THE LIBRARY PARTICIPATES IN 1000 BOOKS BEFORE KINDERGARTEN. 
          A PROGRAM WHERE FAMILIES CAN CHECK OUT THESE BACKPACKS WITH 10 CHILDREN'S BOOKS IN EACH BACKPACK, 10 BOOKS, 10 TIMES. 
          THE READING PLAYAWAYS AND AUDIO BOOKS ARE ANOTHER GREAT WAY TO EARN READING HOURS THIS SUMMER BECAUSE YOU CAN MULTITASK, READ WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING GROCERY SHOPPING, DOING DISHES OR GIVING INTERVIEWS. 
          WELL, THERE YOU HAVE IT. 
          THE INSIDE SCOOP ON HOW TO BOOST YOUR READING HOURS IN THE SUMMER READING CLUB AT GRAND PRAIRIE PUBLIC LIBRARY. 
          I'M PAIGE TURNER AND I'LL BE BACK WITH ANOTHER EPISODE SOMETIME OF READING FIVE HOURS. 
          OH MY GOSH. 
          THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING THAT WITH ME. 
          YEAH. 
          NOW I KNOW THE INSIDE SCOOPS SO I CAN WIN ALL THE PRIZES. 
          WELL, SO YOU WORK HERE, YOU CAN'T WIN LIKE THE PATRON PRIZES, BUT I LOVE WHERE YOUR HEART'S AT. 
          RIGHT? FINE. 
          BUT LIKE I GUESS IT'S COOL 'CAUSE NOW WE KNOW ALL THE DIFFERENT WAYS YOU CAN GET READING LOG HOURS. 
          YEAH, DEFINITELY. 
          SO HELPFUL. 
          YEAH. 
          OH, AND SPEAKING OF THAT, LET'S LET FOLKS KNOW ABOUT SOME PROGRAMS THEY CAN ATTEND SO THAT WAY YOU CAN COUNT IT AS AN HOUR ON YOUR READING LOG. 
          YEAH.
