HI EVERYBODY, AND WELCOME BACK TO CHECK IT OUT. 
          I'M BLAIR AND I'M HERE WITH MY GOOD FRIEND. 
          ALEXA. 
          HI EVERYBODY. 
          MY NAME'S ALEXA. 
          I'M THE NEW CHILDREN'S LIBRARIAN AT THE GRAND PRAIRIE MEMORIAL LIBRARY. 
          YOU MIGHT'VE SEEN ME OUT AND ABOUT ON SOME SUMMER PROGRAMS, AND WE STILL HAVE SO MUCH FUN LEFT FOR THE SUMMERTIME. 
          OH, ABSOLUTELY. 
          WE HAVE ONE REALLY BIG PROGRAM LEFT. 
          YES, IT'S OUR COSMIC ADVENTURE, A SCI-FI SUMMER FINALE. 
          I'VE HEARD THERE'S GOING TO BE CRAFTS, A VISIT FROM THE MOBILE PLANETARIUM, AND YOU MIGHT EVEN SEE SOME OF YOUR FAVORITE SCI-FI CHARACTERS. 
          FUNNY YOU SHOULD MENTION SCI-FI CHARACTERS. 
          I COULD HAVE SWORN I SAW THE DOCTOR IN HIS COMPANION IN THE LIBRARY THE OTHER DAY. 
          YEAH, I THINK I HANDED THEM SOME READING LOGS TO LOG THEIR READING FOR SUMMER READING CLUB. 
          OH, IT'S, IT'S ALL NEW. 
          THE THE SPARKLES AND, AND WHAT, WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE? BLUE AND, AND PINK AND, AND ALL THIS DIFFERENT KIND OF COLOR. 
          IT'S ALL, IT'S NEW. 
          I'M, I'M, I'M SHORTER. 
          I, I THINK I LIKE IT. 
          HI DOCTOR. 
          I KNOW, I KNOW. 
          I KNOW YOU DON'T, DON'T TELL ME. 
          ARIAN THE LIBRARIAN. 
          YES, YOU REMEMBERED. 
          I LOVE THE NEW YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THIS REGENERATION IS LOOKING FABULOUS ON YOU. 
          WHERE DO YOU THINK WE'VE LANDED? I DON'T KNOW. 
          WHAT DO YOU THINK? OH, OKAY. 
          IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE IN THE YEAR 2024. 
          2024. 
          AND FROM THE LOOKS OF IT, I THINK WE'RE ON EARTH. 
          EARTH. 
          LET'S SEE WHAT THEY'RE DOING IN EARTH. 
          DR. 
          LUCK. 
          IS THAT A DOIC RUN? THINK. 
          THINK. 
          WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT DOX? WE KNOW THAT THEY HAVE NO EMOTION OTHER THAN HATE, AND THAT THEY ARE JUST MEAN. 
          MEAN CYBORGS. 
          HOW CAN WE DEFEAT THEM? WHAT INSPIRES EMPATHY? WHAT MAKES PEOPLE BE KIND? DOCTOR BOOKS. 
          YES, MARIAN. 
          VERY GOOD. 
          BUT WE'RE IN A LIBRARY. 
          HOW DO WE MAKE A DOIC EMPATHETIC? IT'S THE BOOKS. 
          DOCTOR READING PROMOTES EMPATHY. 
          OH, THAT'S GOOD. 
          GRAB A BOOK. 
          LET'S ALL START READING. 
          MARIAN. 
          IT LOOKS LIKE OUR READING IS TAKING THE DOIC BACK TO ITS SPACESHIP. 
          WE CAN'T STOP READING. 
          OH, LOOK AT ALL OF THESE BOOKS. 
          THESE PATRONS SURE CAN READ. 
          Y'ALL NEED TO MAKE SURE YOU'RE LOGGING ALL THIS TIME ON YOUR READING LOGS IN 900 YEARS OF TIME AND SPACE. 
          I HAVE NEVER MET SOMEONE WHO ISN'T IMPORTANT. 
          THANK YOU KIND PERSON. 
          I'M SO JEALOUS. 
          YOU GOT TO MEET THE DOCTOR. 
          WHAT DID THE DOCTOR LOOK LIKE THIS TIME? WELL, THEY HAD THESE LIKE CRAZY SPARKLY SHOES AND LIKE PINK AND BLUE HAIR AND LIKE THIS INDIANA JONES HAT AND LIKE THIS BLUE FLOWERED CARDIGAN. 
          IT WAS CRAZY. 
          THAT IS SO COOL, MAN. 
          ONE DAY I'M GONNA BE A COMPANION. 
          OKAY, BLAIR. 
          BUT WE DID WANNA REMIND EVERYBODY THAT SUMMER READING CLUB IS STILL GOING ON AND YOU HAVE UNTIL THE END OF AUGUST TO TURN IN YOUR LOGS. 
          YES. 
          MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE READING AND LOGGING IN THOSE HOURS AND TURNING IT IN. 
          KIDS. 
          EVERY TIME YOU TURN IN A READING LOG, YOU GET A PRIZE. 
          ADULTS AND TEENS. 
          EVERY TIME YOU TURN IN A READING LOG, YOU GET PUT INTO A DRAWING FOR A GIVEAWAY. 
          YES. 
          AND DON'T FORGET TO STOP BY THE MAIN LIBRARY ON AUGUST 3RD, STARTING AT 10:00 AM TO EXPERIENCE AN OUT OF THIS WORLD SUMMER SENDOFF. 
          AFTER THE FINALE, REMEMBER WE ARE ON A PROGRAMMING BREAK AND WE WILL RESUME PROGRAMS ON AUGUST 19TH.
