Outdoor Learning at the Library: It's Only Natural 3-15-2018 - Duration: 44:21.
Welcome everyone and very glad that you could join us today. Again, this is Paula
Newcom and I'm the Northeast Regional Coordinator from the Indiana State
Library's Professional Development Office. I'm at the Kokomo-Howard County
Public Library and I'll be the host and question moderator. So thanks so much to
Trina Evans and Susan Bednarz for presenting today.
Trina is a Branch Assistant and Susan is a Reference Assistant at the Kokomo-Howard
County Public Library. And I also want to mention that Trina won the
Difference Is You Support Staff Award last year at the DIY Conference. So at
this point, I'm going to now turn the mic over to Trina.
Good morning, I'm so glad that you could join us.
We're going to talk about our Nature Explore Outdoor Classroom.
[No sound - slight pause getting webinar started]
All right, as you know, just thinking of different ideas. People are
always asking, "Where do you get your ideas?" And if you work at a library, you know a
lot of times that you borrow your ideas from other libraries. I was very lucky to
go on a trip for training to Colorado and I was able to visit the Anythink
Library. The Anythink Library gave us a tour and one of those spaces that I fell
in love with was their outdoor space. So I started asking a lot of questions. They
said they had a Nature Explorer Outdoor Classroom. They talked about how much it
was going to be. And I just took a lot of pictures and I remember playing a lot
outside thinking, I would love to bring this to Indiana. But again, as you know,
with library budgets that's not always possible. So at that time it was just a wish ...
So one of the things on deciding once we did ... kind of, our wish turned into
a reality. We received an endowment of $13,000. So once I
heard that we had that money, the first thing I came back to was having that
Nature Explore Outdoor Classroom. There are different options that we looked
into, like different nature conservancy's. Just different outdoor models. But really
I kept coming back to that Nature Explore Outdoor Classroom. And one of the
reasons is it's a collaborative program with the Arbor Day Foundation and
Dimensions Educational Research Foundation. So there was a lot of
research which you can go connect to that website, Nature Explorer Outdoor
Classroom and find out all of the research that's provided for learning.
Again the, I won't go through the whole process of like certification
requirements. That's something that you can look on your own on their website.
But I did like, it gave us an area to choose where we knew we wanted to have
programming. That was part of the process of certification. We also knew that you
would have to have continuing staff development. That's something that we
always do with our staff. But what I really liked is they had the certain
areas that were separated - that you had to have like the music area, the climbing,
area, the building area, the gathering area, the gardening area. So it really set
a tone of what we could do programming-wise. And again, when you're thinking
about this, you'll have to think about insurance and zoning and all of that
stuff which we can get into with questions, later. But really it set a
tone of what kind of programs we wanted to bring to our library that we hadn't had
before. Such as having yoga outside and having music and a lot of outdoor
activities. Another thing that was really great for us, you have to think about
when you want to have a classroom, how does that really fit in with the needs
of your community, with your library? So I started going to ... Russiaville is our
smaller branch location. And so it is in the town of Russiaville. So we started
going to their town council meetings and one of the things that the Russiaville is
known for, it's a "Tree City USA." So it has to have certain certification each year.
And they do partner with the library. We usually do like an Arbor Day display for
them. So I was able to go and talk with them. And they were, of course, very
excited about this collaboration. Because it really fit
in with the town's plans. And then really we started thinking also about the
library and our strategic long-term plan. And one of the things that we have in
our strategic plan is a service response to the community. We build community-wide
loyalty and aspire to become a local destination. And so our goal is to
develop our green spaces as community destinations. So by putting this at our
Russiaville branch, we're fulfilling that goal.
One of the great things about the Outdoor Classroom is it started to drive
the traffic a little bit more for that smaller location. People really started
seeing the library as an added value to the town. As an added educational partner.
So it's really important, too, that if you do decide to do this. You want to
definitely record those community responses and take pictures. That will
help you also if you want to get any extra funds or write some grants. Okay,
so really the meat. What is the process? So for us it was a little bit of
a whirlwind process. We did this in a short amount of time, which usually isn't
typical for a library. I would suggest taking a little bit longer.
Especially for funding. So when I heard that we had $13,000, I
felt like it was a ton of money. So I was super excited about it and thought, "I can
build this classroom with $13,000." But I really knew I
needed to talk to some experts. So I met with a landscaper. Nature Explore does
have a, an area where you can actually get plans from them. But it's really
expensive. So I suggest partnering with someone
local. So we did do that. We partnered with a local landscaper and I asked her
to draw plans. I talked about the area that we had and the certification
requirements. And then she came up with this drawing. And of course we loved the
drawing. We thought it was perfect. We actually do have a pretty small space. So
the drawing that you're looking at currently, there were some modifications.
So always be aware that things are going to change. But it's really important to
get that design visually, so that you can show people. It's really hard to explain
unless they can see it. But then she was able to then break it down into phases
and that budget was really important. The first budget that she came back with was
$80,000 which was a little bit more than $13,000. So we did do some adjustments and
we were able to modify that proposal. And I think we got it down to around $65,000.
But really, she broke it down into phases. I do think if we hadn't done it in such
a whirlwind process, we probably would have done the phases instead of doing it
all at once. We happen to, at the same time, we wanted to do like some
crowd-sourced funding online, which would have been really great. We did a video.
But then Kokomo was hit by a tornado. So of course funds weren't really going
to be put in this area. So it's really important to have a very concise budget.
Working with someone that also works with volunteers. Because she knew that I
was going to have to cut the budget by quite a bit. And we'll talk more about
how you can do that. But definitely getting a good partnership in your
community with the right landscaper. It's a great idea.
Again, community partnerships. Really essential. Because the budget was much
higher than I anticipated. In our small town we put out jars at gas stations. In
just one week we had like $100. We partnered [with] Master Gardeners. We definitely
wanted to talk to them because you have to think about the process of upkeep. So
we wanted them to promise hours. And so once they brought that to their meeting.
Then we received a check for $500. Lowe's - this was one that I really had to be
persistent in because they're a corporation.
Sometimes when you go to these places they have wonderful, you know, the" Lowe's
Heroes." They have these groups, they want to go out and help. Well, the first time I
went in they had already promised that year that they were going to help the
Humane Society in our town. So I asked if we could be considered for the next year.
They again gave me like telephone contact information and email. And I did
contact their email and telephone. And I never really got a response. So I just
kept going back and asking for the manager again. And again, I would keep
getting emails and I would send them. Eventually, I was able to go into Lowe's
and actually talk to someone face-to-face. And again, I had that
proposal in front of me with the pictures and what we needed. And that
really finally sparked the help from Lowe's Heroes. So they were able to
contribute a shed - free of cost. They contributed all of our plants - free of
cost. The, the amount that they donated, not just their volunteer help. They did
like a big volunteer day where they sent like 50 people. We actually had more
people than we had space available. So it was really great. And then we were also
able to make a connection because the Master Gardeners had also been seeking a
partnership with Lowe's. And that again, I think maybe they weren't quite as
persistent, maybe I was. So they were able to meet there and by that meeting they
were able to form a partnership. So we felt good about that. Also people get
really excited. So they, they start having ideas for you. And you really want to be
open to that because you really want to have that buy-in. So we had Doug England.
He was also a Master Gardener. He really wanted us to have this an analemmatic
sundial. It's flat and so like when you stand on it, the way the shadows are on
the pavement, you can tell what time of day it is. So again, it's another educational
component that we thought was a good idea. He didn't offer to pay for that. He did
though say he would come out and sketch out the marks. But again, I reached out to
a teacher at a school that had like an art club
and they were able to come out and paint that for us. So that was great. We did
have to buy the supplies. But again, it added to our Nature Explore Outdoor
Classroom in a way that we wouldn't have thought about. And then we are on the
registry for these sundials. So again, another great partnership.
We also reached out, there are from our United Way, each day, each year they have like a day
of caring. And so we were able to go to like the GM volunteer fair. You go with a
bunch of other nonprofits and they kind of tell all about the organization and
then you're hoping that they'll pick you so that they can come volunteer. So we
made a really great connection with GM Cares. So they have now come a couple
times to help with the process. Because, unfortunately, some of those days that we
scheduled, you'll have this happen, were rainy days. And so not everything could
get completed because of the weather. So it was a great group to connect to, that
we were also able to schedule out different times. And they were able to do
all of that work for us and then buy some things that we needed. While they
realized that we were, we didn't have certain things when they came to work. So
then they would just go out and buy it for us. So that was kind of great, too. And
of course always providing pizza and drinks for your volunteers is a good
idea. And I think, because they have such a good time, they always say that they'll
come back each year. And that's something that you need to think about - is that
continual maintenance or any things, um ... Oh, GM is General Motors, that's a factory
here. Sorry, I saw it pop up ...It's factory here in Kokomo. So again, if you have any
factories or if you just want to reach out to United Way and see if they have a
Day of Caring for Businesses, that would be a good connection.
I don't know what happened to this photo ...
but again, those partnerships are really important.
We're always saying, "Just don't be afraid to ask." We had one of our librarians here
made a connection previously. And so she knew someone on the Howard County Commissioners.
And so she was able to send an email and tell all about our project. And they were
really excited and they donated $10,000. So really utilizing your staff and
anyone that they know to think about how you could ask for more money is a good
opportunity. Even though Crowd fundraising is a good idea, if you can
get those big chunks, it certainly helps, when we did have that tornado so we did
have to remind them to get that check to us.
And another thing, grants. It's a good idea to write grants. There's a lot of
grants available for, for green spaces. And so Duke Energy is a good grant to
look into. They have different cycles. And so the director of the library wrote
that grant. It was almost $10,000. So again, [United] Way ... really good for our budget.
Okay, so you are going to have a little bit of stumbling blocks along the
way. Sometimes when you express your ideas, it doesn't always communicate it.
So we knew that we wanted to have this messy area. So in the messy area we have
a sandbox and you have dirt. And then we had this like water table. When I saw the
water table I was really concerned because it was like a tub full of quite
a bit of water. So I was really worried about drowning. I know that kids can
still drown in a very small amount of water. But this was quite large. Our
Outdoor Classroom is not monitored by staff. Like it's, it's passive. People go
out there unless we have programming. So if we're in the building we just really
didn't want to have this concern. So once this was installed, I did have them take
away the big tub. And then now we have a different insert that's red, that's just
a few inches. I didn't really want there to be standing water. Also with standing water,
there's just mosquitoes and germs and, I don't know, I really wasn't happy. This
was probably the only thing that I wasn't happy with. But of course I talked
to the landscaper and they were able to fix that pretty easily. But know that
things aren't always how you think they'll be.
Another thing too, with the, the stumbling blocks.
Our, our path is supposed to be ADA
accessible. But it's like this fine gravel and I don't think it is as
accessible as we really thought it was. So that might be something that you want
to work with a group and think about that, too, um ...
Also take lots of pictures. These are from our opening day.
Again, another stumbling block. If you'll see in the
background there's our tunnel. So we have a neighbor that is right next door.
And her house is built right on our property line. So we just wanted to make
a clear division. So we put up these really tall wooden panels in the back
and we spaced them out. This was not in our original plans. And we did go over and
speak to the neighbor before we started building so that they would, she would
know what was happening. Keep her in the loop. This wasn't on the
original plan. We didn't think, again, to talk to her about putting this up. We
thought it was just a great idea. Little did we know she was really upset by
these wooden panels because she did want to see what was happening. And then
it happened that one of the panels that we put was towards the end of her
driveway. And it was actually like a safety concern because she couldn't see
the road when she was pulling out. So we did have to remove that. It's unfortunate,
again, it's something that we're trying to fix. We did take it down.
We didn't take all of them down because we still wanted to keep up some of those
panels and add some things to it. That when we have more money, later, just for
extra passive play. But again, you have to think about the neighbors. It was
definitely a perspective I wasn't thinking about at the time.
Definitely celebrate. It was really exciting to put all this effort into it. So we did have a
big ribbon-cutting ceremony. That we invited the public to and we invited our
Board and just area figureheads. You definitely want people to know about it.
And the ribbon cutting is definitely a perfect place for that.
And on that day we gave tours. I do suggest I have a field trip option.
When we went to those area schools, we did talk about field trips, for a
different project, we were working on and we mentioned this. So the teachers were
excited that this is something that we could offer. So I do think that having a
school field trip plan is a good idea. And then if you can, get into those
schools. And get those scheduled, you can do a lot with it if you have the staffing.
Again, when we had the opening event, we tried to do everything that
kind of correlated with that outdoor theme. So we have these sand pails where
you could make your own trail mix. We kept everything separate in case
there was some allergies. And again, we really use those partnerships. As you'll
see, there's some tree cookies on the table. We partnered with the Howard
County Water and Soil Conservancy and they were able to make these tree
cookies. If you would try to purchase them online, they're actually quite
expensive. But by partnering with them they were free. So that's always good.
We had another um ... bequest that was given to us. Roberta Lineback who used
to be a teacher in the area. And when she died her family wanted to do something
for her. So we were able to tell her about this classroom. And this is where
the family decided to donate their funds. Again, we have two of these rocks - for our
original bequest and for Roberta. So we definitely wanted to honor them. It was
really a special moment because then her sister was able to come out. And then
after we had the opening day, we had different groups that came in that were
related to Roberta. Like I think she was in a teacher's group. And they came one
day as a special trip just to come and see her stone and to see the classroom.
And so it was really special for them.
So one of the things that you want to think
about with your classroom is keep changing things and updating and adding
to it. So we really want people to know about this classroom. But
it is at one of our smaller branch locations. It's off the beaten path a
little bit. So you have to travel maybe like nine miles out of Kokomo. So for our
big summer reading kickoff at our main branches, we decided to do something that
would add to it. And then also let people know about it. So we bought a bunch of
rocks. It's kind of when all of the Kindness Rocks thing were happening. But what
we wanted to do is, we really want to base it off of a book, "Only One You." And
so we had all of the participants at the summer reading program paint rocks. And
then we told them that they were going to paint them for us and they're gonna
leave them. Which I know is sometimes hard for kids to do. But we said we would
like for them to leave them so that we could put them as an art installation at
our outdoor classroom and they could come visit their rock. And of course they
would be able to find their rock because there's only one rock like the one rock
that they painted. So it had to do with that book. So that was really cool to be
able to incorporate that. So you want to think of different ways especially in
the summer, in the fall months when it's the best time to go outside.
And again I have a lot of programming tips, too.
And then after that there's a couple of
additional community partners that I didn't touch on that I'll let you know
about, as well. So with our storytime. If you do storytime, that's Susan, she does
all of our storytimes. So she really started to focus on the outdoor storytimes.
So she did this really cool program called, "Not a Stick." And she did a
lot of just different programs that had to do with like worms or any kind of
outdoor item. Again, don't think about just kids. Adults like it, too. As you can
see we have a climbing wall and we have this really great path. The, ours is
circular. So we used it for Halloween. We at Halloween, we have almost 500 kids
come through. So that's really amazing for our small branch.
That's really an opportunity. We just gave out candy. Susan had the fantastic
idea of next year, instead of giving out candy, or this year, we'll actually give
some information about like another program or something library related. So
really, you want to use those opportunities. And also, because of
Halloween, when we made people walk through and they would have to get candy
along the path, then people that didn't know that we had opened that summer were
surprised and then it really made them look at what was in there. Because if you
just look across the parking, parking lot, you don't realize that there's an area
to play music. And there's an area to build. And there's an area to paint. And
there's an area to climb and to tunnel through. So that's really fun to get
people interested in our classroom. And then we really say you want to use it
year-round. So this year we had a winter solstice program. And we had carolers
come and we have Miss Howard County. We put everything outside. It was actually
warmer on winter solstice than it was at Halloween. So you just want to make sure
that you bundle up. But it was really another great opportunity. It was an
evening program, it was family. We had hot chocolate.
We had the carolers. We did like a little scavenger hunt. We did little things
outside. And it was really fun. And then we had some passive items so then the
adults were able to listen to the carolers while the kids played. So it's
really important to think about that, all year long. I know a lot of times people
want to just do it in the nice months.
And another thing that we did which is really good to help the traffic and to
make the experience more fun than it already is. We, there was an ILF grant
called Three by Three. And so again, you can look at different grants that are
offered. And they, we, we did the contest and we won. And our idea we
received a thousand dollars. And what we wanted were these experience backpacks.
And so we have inside like a little coat rack and you can check out. So again, this
helps for our circulation. You can check out these backpacks and inside them they
have like shovels and pails. As you can see the twins, they always come. They can
then now play in the sand. Otherwise if they just go out there, they're just
using your hands. And then we have little wheelbarrows.
And we've got bubbles they can check out. As you can see on the one picture they can
check out paint and the roller brushes. And again, that just helps us with
circulation, but then also just enhances the experience. We also even have
laminated pages of nature activities. So those parents can really get involved,
take their kids outside with these papers. And they don't have to try to
figure out what to do. We've figured it out for them.
So that's something to really look into. The experience backpacks, we've had a lot
of success with that. So if you do an outdoor classroom, I highly recommend
that. For our whole set it was about a $1000. Mostly that was the
rack to hold it. We wanted to have that really nice and prominent when you first
walked in.
Go live - yeah! So we had a mandolin player come and then he had
some fellow friends come along. And so when they were playing, it was on
National [Good] Neighbor Day. We decided to have this program. So a lot of the area
neighbors came out and they brought, we did put in our program to bring your own
camp chair. So that people brought their own camp chair or they could just lay
out a blanket. And they played music. And then we made sure that we, I filmed it so
that we could put it on Instagram. So that way if people didn't come they
would see that what they were missing and then they would think about it in
the future. And again, this is a patron that came. We didn't have to pay anything.
He just really wanted to share his music. It was a wonderful evening. Kids could
just run around and play while the parents actually just sat there and
listened. And it's at a pretty confined space. So it felt very peaceful and
passive and it was a good day, it's a good neighbor day.
One of the really great things about doing this Nature Explore Outdoor Classroom
is we received a lot of press in the newspaper. Which is great. We want the
library to be in the news. We want people thinking about the library. We want to
hear positive things about the library. And it also helps with our long-term
plan of being an educational partner. So we're really pleased, at the end of the
year, one of the top stories of the year was education. And again it talked about
the library being in the headlines multiple times. So we were really excited
about this because it really, once you were finished, you realized that you did
something that wasn't just fun but educational. So we felt like we were
really doing our job well. Someone asked if you rent out the pavilion for family
events? Okay, so that was actually one of the first questions we got when we
opened - for graduation. And we decided, no we do not rent out the pavilion. It's
something that you can't do logistically for our very tiny branch. We have a small
staff there and we have a custodian that's only there in the morning to
clean. So there wouldn't be anyone to clean, to set up tables. So what I told
the person that wanted to use the pavilion, that it is open to the public.
If they did want to come and set up, they could do that but they also couldn't
tell anyone else that they couldn't be there. So they did run that risk because
it's open to the public. If they decided to have a graduation party, that would be
fine. But if the neighbors' kids came out and wanted to play that would, you know,
have to be ... And then also, I think when people rent things those expectations of
clean up and, you know, set up. And just for our branch, it doesn't work. It might
work for another branch but not for ours.
Good question.
Here are the resources that I did want to add a couple things that I didn't before.
Kohl's Cares. If you have a Kohl's in your area. They're another organization, I didn't seem, I don't
remember if I had a picture of them, but we received a $1000 from them.
They have it, it's very easy. You go online. They sent, they have like a day
where they send out volunteers. And if their volunteers come out,
you get a check for $1,000. So again, it takes a little extra time but a
really good area. Also, I didn't talk about the climbing wall. The climbing
wall was an Eagle Scout project. Again, using the Boy Scouts, the Eagle
Scouts, is a great idea. So all we had to provide were the supplies. And because it
was a part of his project, it also helped with that educational factor. We were
helping him. He had to go through the steps of, you know, giving me his proposal.
And it was a really great opportunity. And when we just paid, so then that also
saved on cost of, of having the landscaper do it. Anything that we could get
volunteers to do to decrease that budget cost, we did. We asked everybody for help
all the time. Also your the Friends of the Library, that's another great place. And
then the school, which I didn't mention. We kind of did this whirlwind thing. So
we did like one week, it was planned very quickly. And that week, I think in four
days, the Western, which is the school closest to it, Intermediate. It was only
the Intermediate not the Primary. For four days raised $600
with a change drive. So again, I think that's an opportunity. If you have more
time you could plan that really well with a school and I think you could get
quite a bit of funds for your Outdoor Classroom. We also, if there's any
businesses you know, it just so happened the head of the branches. She knew
someone in Tipton who wasn't, so it's not even actually in our county, but and
called Integrity EDM. They gave us a check for $500, just because she asked.
So really it's not always just in your county. People just
know you. They like supporting education. They like supporting libraries. So if you
can ask, it's highly recommended. It does take a little bit of personal time.
For me, you didn't have to do it that way. But I was very set on trying to whittle down
that budget. And so when I get excited about something and get really excited
and very persistent. And until someone tells me no, I keep asking
until they say yes. And I think that is it. Unless you have any questions for me
or Susan. Especially if you have questions about programming. I think
Susan might have some more to offer on that. I don't usually do the programming
that is her.
Did you want to add anything?
Let's wait for questions. Okay.
[No sound - waiting for questions]
I did want to add really quick, I forgot. One of the things
that I did want to do for our space. I really wanted to incorporate a story
walk. But because of the green space area, it's actually not large enough. There are
not enough steps. So there are plans online that you can get on how to do a
story walk and how much money. It's only a couple hundred dollars. If you're able
to do that, I would highly recommend that. It just didn't fit in our area and I was
sad about that. "What are the concerns with the climbing wall? Of kids falling?"
Um, that's more like an insert ..., but we, it's really not as tall as you think it is.
That was a question we just don't ... kids fall just walking on a path. So we
weren't really too concerned about that. It's, I mean, I think if they did fall
they probably couldn't hurt themselves too much. But again, I think that's just
with kids they can get hurt anywhere. So we didn't really worry about that too
much. It's preschool sized. Yeah it's really small. Another question,
"What have been some of your more successful outdoor programs?"
Susan ...
Well, I have to say that probably the Halloween Trick-or-Treating night has brought in
that largest number of people. Some other special programs we've had outdoors. We
had a horse play program. Where we had a local Equestrian Center come
and educate the kids about how to care for a horse and other animals.
She brought a rabbit to show about the care and feeding of animals. We're
planning a National Mud Day storytime celebration this year. And we're going to
have a lot of mud like an obstacle course going on.
We'll have stories that are tied into the theme of mud and we'll make mud pies
and that kind of thing.
Another question, "How did you maintain the space?"
Yeah, so you definitely want to think about maintenance. And so what we did was that
partnership with the Master Gardeners. In their, at their meeting, they
donated so many hours each year. So again, you do want to think about that. We also
have different days of the year where like the local school will do a
volunteer day and so they can come out. And we, you want to think about if you
have a maintenance staff that, that is something extra that you're probably
asking them to do. There's definitely been things that we didn't think about
with like the weeds. And so again, using Master Gardeners, that's how we do it
right now. We're just now one year, almost one year in. So we haven't had too
many concerns at this time. Another question, "How about vandalism? Any
problems with that?" Yeah, so that's another thing. It's not, I mean,
I guess ... Little kids came in and they did get really excited. We had a bunch of
tree cookies and so they broke all of those. And then on our stepping stones,
they were throwing the tree cookies on there. So they did break the stepping
stones. Luckily because it is a small neighborhood, the neighbor actually came
out and told the boys. They had spilled some trash, too. She made them pick up all
the trash and told them that she would be watching them. So they were frequent
boys. I did go out there and, you know, talk with them about that, too. So not
anything horrible, but just a bunch of little boys that were a little bit
destructive. So that definitely is a concern. And so I
did request a quote this year from our landscaper, to see if she could replace
those stepping stones. Cause I was really sad that those were broken.
[No sound - waiting for questions]
Okay, these are great questions. I know I've seen some other libraries in
the Northeast region that I've been to. They, one place has a storybook corner
outside. And I know your outdoor space has inspired another library that is
in the process of putting together an Outdoor Classroom. So it's really, very, a
cool idea. Also things about sensory gardens I've read. Things with sound,
smell, touch. Okay, we've got one question, "Are there any legal issues about someone
getting hurt outside?" I'm going to let our director take this question because
it's not the part I'm involved in. We did have to add some insurance. It's, you know,
obviously a different space than the internal, you know, your typical library
building. So we added insurance that would cover, you know, any kind of thing
that could happen outside that's a little different. And it's not terribly
expensive. I mean I'm sure that I, the idea of expensive depends on what your
overall budget is. But some of that is just in case something happens to that,
you know, like if we had to rebuild the pavilion. What would that cost us? You
know, we wouldn't necessarily have lab ... free, you know, volunteer labor the second
time around, that kind of thing. But it is something, you know, that you would want
to make sure you insured if you add anything like that. And ours is a few
hundred dollars a year. It would probably depend on what other insurance you
already have and how it works. I mean commercial insurance is sort of a
complicated thing. So you would want to know how your insurance works for any of
your facilities and then make a decision on what you needed for an outdoor space
based on some of that. And then I did have another thing to add.
There's so much that I forget. So again about those partnerships, we had
a musical area. That musical area, we partnered with our ... there's a school in
Kokomo and they have a Career Center. So we actually partnered with the Career
Center and they made it their project to make our musical instruments. So the one
is like metal tubes and then you would just, you know, you hit the metal tubes. So
they made that and then we have another that's like PVC pipes that you had make
music. And then these boxes that are like the drums. So again, all we had to pay was
the material cost, not labor cost, which labor is usually the very expensive part.
So that's another area to, to add.
[No sound - waiting for questions]
Any other questions? Well, as you're thinking
of other questions, Susan's gonna go a little bit more over programming.
Okay, so you're probably already doing storytimes inside and you can really take any
inside storytime outside. But some themes lend themselves
particularly well to outdoors. And I, one of the themes that I did this summer, or
last summer, we had a month that we called 'Go Wild Outside.' And during that
month I had different themes like worms. And I brought in live worms. We have some
raised garden beds and so we were able to put the worms in the garden beds and
explore those with magnifying glasses. And it was really fun to do that outside.
You can also do storytimes about bugs, balls. We did a going on a bear hunt
theme, an ice-cream theme. Of course camping themes work well outdoors. So
there's a really a lot of fun things you can do when you take your storytime
outdoors. Some special outdoor storytimes we did were - we had a shark week
outdoors. And Trina mentioned the 'Not a Stick' that's based on a book by
Antoinette Portis. So we read the story 'Not a Stick' and we did a
craft using sticks and some activities that way. This summer I plan to use the
outdoor garden beds in a new way. And I want to start a program that will be a
month long program called 'Little Sprouts.' And the children will hear a story each
week and will plant something in the garden beds. And we're going to
concentrate our focus on my five garden senses and make a little book about our
senses outdoors. I also do a monthly craft class and we
took that out outdoors last summer. We made nature crafts using pinecones,
leaves, stones. We made wind chimes, we painted
pumpkins. There's just all kinds of things you can find on Pinterest when you
Google 'nature crafts.' Another programming idea that I had was getting
women out in nature. Women in nature where we would offer yoga, tai chi, you
could do an outdoor book club. You could start a walking club. You could
do outdoor knitting clubs and of course gardening clubs. So those are just some
ideas. And I get a lot of my ideas by searching nature centers. You know, people
that are already having a Nature Center and already having programs. A lot of
times they have a much bigger space and more nature than we can offer, but you
can get a lot of great ideas that way. And I have another addition that I
forgot to mention earlier. So when we did the proposal and I met with the
landscaper. And she did the different phases. One of the areas that was the
most important for us was the pavilion. So that pavilion that they built, it was
really good for our branch because we usually had to do like off-site summer
reading programs, like the performers during the summer. So it was another way
to bring the programs back to us and then look at outdoor programming. But one
of the things that we did decide. We did not go with the landscaper which to build
the pavilion. We went with a contractor. It felt like that the contractor had a
little bit more knowledge building, not landscaping. So we did have someone
else do that. So you just want to be thinking about that, too. That you don't
hurt anyone's feelings, I guess, step on their toes. But again, we had to do what
was best for the library. And I felt like that we needed a contractor to actually
build the pavilion even though the landscapers said that they were capable.
I just felt like it would be better to have someone else do that. And then they
were able to work together for the rest of it. But that's also another part. Just
because you have one person give you the idea you can then really manage how you
want those phases to look and who you want to do things. So just know that if
you do have someone draw up something, it doesn't mean that they're in the lead on
everything.
[No sound - waiting for questions]
Are there any more questions?
[No sound - waiting for questions]
Well, I do have ... so I made myself a big binder of nature explore. That's another
suggestion that I have for you. That if you do decide to do this, you'll want to
keep everything in one place. So I do have all my notes together. So if you do
have questions, I know this is like a quick overview. It was definitely a lot
more detailed than that. You can always email me. I think that they're going to
put my email address up [tevans@khcpl.org]. Or you can email them, too. But then I think you'll just
get passed along to me. So if you want to email me directly, I do not mind
answering questions. I don't mind if you want to come out and tour our space. I think
it's always good to look at a space and decide if that works for you. And really
when you see a space that's been built, then you can really say, "Oh I would do
this different." Because our space doesn't look like anything like the Colorado
Anythink space. They have a very, very large space so what ours is very
different. So you just have to figure out what works for you. So you're welcome to
come check it out. You can schedule a time with us or you can come at your own
free leisure time. But please don't hesitate to email questions.
We love our Nature Explore Outdoor Classroom and we love talking about it.
So we are here for you. Okay great. I really want to thank Trina, Susan, and
Faith so much for sharing about this wonderful project that they have done.
At
this point I think we're going to go

DOLCE FOLLIA e.06 Skiing in Italy - Duration: 3:28.
Production team is very sorry for
the quality of the German of this video
The actress does not speak a word of German
Sorry
I'm back from 1 week in South Tyrol
The main objective of ski week is not to ski non stop
It's to eat in the best mountain lodges
But you can't arrive at the restaurant without booking a table in advance
Even for lunch ....
Hello ! We'd like a table for 2
Do you have a reservation ?
Heu ... NO
I'm very sorry. It's not possible
Please come Mr Agnelli
Ah ok....
It's NY during fashion week
When you manage to get a table
There is a big shock with the menu !
Because it's so different from French mountain food
Hello !
I'd like a beer
... and a raclette
Raglet ?
No Raglet no !
No raclette ?
Potato, cheese, pickles ?
Casunziei, canederli !
OK ... I'll take some gnocchi
Be careful !
If somebody talks about SPC
It has nothing to do with sun protection
It means Sausage, Polenta and Cheese; the royal combo
The ski station where I was is super close to Austria
There is a perfect mix of German organisation and Italian welcome
It creates funny situation, for example at the nursery
Here is my beautiful daughter Bianca
Oh! What a cute little baby ! Welcome !
Schedule of the day
10h, drawing
11h, swimming pool
12h, lunch
14h, nap time
Good luck my love
Awesome !
The only problem for me was the austrian techno music everywhere...
Some people like it very much
The attire is also very different in an Italian ski station
To ski, italians are wearing super colorful outfits
And I also spotted Italian ski teachers wearing Giorgio Armani official ski suit
In casual ski station in France,
You just take warm clothes and ski suits
In Italy you also take chic clothes
And you go to the hairdresser
I love the mountains,
Fresh air, lovely people !
Skiing ? Me ?
No no no !
I just sunbathe with my girlfriends on the terrace
Gianfranco ! Mariasole !
Come to say hi !
They gonna ski with their father all day
If you want to go in the city center at 4PM to eat a Sacher tart
You can"t go with your ski suit !!
You have to wear proper clothes
It's very similar to Saint Tropez
You don't walk, you just show off
My husband uses his old shirts over his ski technical t-shirt
So at lunch, i'm the only one to look very bad
What do you want to order?
But he looks so great !
At night, even if you stay at the hotel. It's the same !
You just pay attention to your style
Me I had a bad experience
because I went to dinner with my slippers
Hello
WHAT?
It's the third world here
Us, french people, we are a real pain in the ass
Because we have a totally different rhythm from Italians
At 7:45 AM all the family is ready
And at night around 7, kids are eating already in their PJ
Is the restaurant open ?
It's just 6:40 PM dear ! Kitchen is still closed !
OKKKK, we'll wait !
Thanks for watching !!
If you like it, put a thumb up ! And share it !
See you soon

Is milk bad? Do dairy products hurt us? ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Duration: 6:07.
Hi, I'm Raquel Domínguez from www.operacionbikini.es and today I'm here to talk to you about a topic
a bit controversial. What happens with the dairy products? Are they good, are they bad? What
happen with them? Because there are people who say that are a perfect food, almost the best
that we could take and for others it is a poison from which we have to flee, so sure
that your head is a real mess. Let's start at the beginning, what are the
dairy products? Well, dairy products are those derived that comes from the milk produced by a
mammal. Normally cow's milk, goat's milk or of sheep. These are the most common types.
To the question Can I drink milk and its derivatives or is it better to eliminate them from my diet? The
answer is very simple. If you like and you feel good, take them. Why do not you go to
Take dairy if you like them and they feel good? But on the contrary, if that is not your case
and some of these assumptions occur, that you do not like, that goes against your ideology
because they come from animals, if you are allergic or you just feel bad, do not take it,
They are not necessary. Although it is true that milk is one of the most
complete that exists. It is composed in its Most of it is water, but it is also rich
in minerals such as calcium, magnesium, zinc, vitamins of type b2, a, d, eyk
and it is also a good source of hydrates of carbon and proteins. In fact, milk
is, together with the egg, the food with proteins of better quality. Surely you have ever
heard that dairy products are responsible of many cardiovascular problems, but ...
Do you know something? Well yes that is true that dairy products are an important source
of saturated fatty acids. That's true, but the saturated fats present in the
natural milk products without sweetening or sweetening they do not influence, or can even improve the risk
cardiovascular. Another thing that is attributed to them is that they fatten a lot, but there's nothing
really in that The truth is that dairy products can help us improve our composition
because they cause satiety and it's over consuming little amount. And remember,
It is a very complete food, full of nutrients and with very good quality proteins. A) Yes
that if the goal is to lose weight you can include in your diet. One of the things that
worries people who do not take dairy is if they are going to have a lack of calcium and if that
will end up causing, among other things, bone problems. Well, the truth is that if
Do not drink dairy you do not have to worry. The daily calcium needs of an adult
They range between 1000 and 1300 mg of calcium. And there are several ways to achieve it. There are sources
of animal and also vegetable origin. But let's start by looking at calcium sources
of animal origin. Where can we find large amounts of calcium? Well first
place in milk. The milk besides being a great source of calcium, it has a calcium
very easily assimilated by humans. And in a 250 ml glass you will find 300
mg of calcium. In Swiss cheese, for just 40 grams you will find 300 mg of calcium, a
yogurt will give you 225 mg and only 85 grams of sardines with thorns, will provide you
325 mg of calcium. But if you do not take food of animal origin do not worry, because also
There are many sources of calcium of plant origin. Among them we can find almonds.
100 gr of almonds will carry 252 mg of calcium. Chickpeas are also a
good source of calcium, per 100 gr you'll have 143 mg. Cabbage, kale or kale,
as you want to call it, it gives us 270 mg for 200 gr. Broccoli gives us 117.5 mg
for 250 gr. And 250 gr of figs give us 100 mg of calcium. These are just some examples.
But you have to keep in mind that you have to Be careful, because there are calcium thieves.
Yes, yes, the antinutrients, I've already spoken to you of them here. And now, the moment arrives
to ask us another important question. They are all the dairy products equally good? Or maybe
do not? Let's see. Well, how are you imagining No, they are not all equally good. At the time
to choose your best whole dairy, instead of skimmed Whenever you can be
natural, without sweetening or sweetening. What if you can choose, ideally, is that they are grass
ecological. At the time of the ingredients It is very important that they do not have ingredients
the rest. In this less is more. If of the cheese the ingredients should be simply
milk, rennet, salt and lactic ferments. In the case of yogurt, the ingredients should
to be simply milk and lactic ferments. And milk ... Milk is only milk. Does not have
to wear nothing more. Well as you see, the theme of dairy products in the diet is much more
simple of what it seems. If you like them and you feel good take them and if not, no. I hope
that you liked my video if you liked it please give it a like and share it, that
I find that very helpful and I wait for you in the next video. Bye Bye

[♪ INTRO]
A lot of our ideas about the future come from popular works of science fiction,
like how the Star Trek communicators of the 1960s became the cell phones of the '90s.
But go back to the 1800s and some of the most important stories about space travel
had nothing to do with rockets, like you'd think they should.
Instead, authors like Jules Verne and H. G. Wells
thought we'd get things into space with… guns. Really big guns.
If you think about it, it makes a lot of sense.
Things need to go very fast to reach space, and bullets are very fast. So, voila!
Unfortunately... the physics don't really work that way.
But that definitely hasn't stopped us from trying to build space guns of our own.
Obviously, guns differ from rockets in a bunch of important ways.
They're an example of what's called ballistic flight, which means that, once a projectile's launched,
only external forces like gravity and drag can affect its trajectory.
Guns are an advanced form of creating ballistic flight, but the basic idea goes back to the days
of things like trebuchets and, you know, just, like, throwing rocks.
All of that is different than something like a rocket, which can be steered in flight.
What guns have going for them, though, is simplicity.
We've been using the same basic design for hundreds of years and,
by now, we understand pretty well how to build something efficient and reliable.
They're also pretty cheap, since you get to reuse the barrel and just replace the propellant,
like gunpowder, after each shot.
Still, guns do have some major downsides as a launch tool.
To get to space, you need to go really, really fast,
and the payload in a gun just gets one shove to get it going that quickly.
So the acceleration experienced is incredible.
We're talking about thousands of times more g forces,
or thousands of times the regular force of Earth's gravity, than when riding on a rocket.
Which is not great if you're an astronaut who suddenly doesn't have a skeleton.
Reaching those speeds so quickly also really heats things up,
meaning your payload needs to be basically fireproof.
The real kicker, though, is all the pesky physics.
At the end of the day, it's actually impossible to fire something from the surface
directly into orbit around the Earth.
See, you can think of an orbit like a closed loop around the planet.
If you fire a projectile from the surface, that loop is guaranteed to intersect the Earth,
meaning your projectile will crash into the ground.
Meanwhile, after a rocket launches, it fires its engines to creates a new loop,
and an orbit, that doesn't intersect with the surface.
Because they don't have a propulsion system of their own,
ballistic projectiles just can't do that.
Of course, none of this has actually stopped us from building enormous guns to try it out.
Because, pff, who needs science?
In the 1960s, Project Harp, or the High Altitude Research Program,
was our first attempt to reach space with a gun.
The U.S. military was racing to improve early intercontinental ballistic missiles,
and they needed a cost-effective way to test how designs reentered the atmosphere.
With Project HARP, they aimed to reuse the leftover barrels of battleship cannons
to launch payloads high into the sky.
These massive guns were eventually built in Arizona and Barbados,
and they were used to fire more than 200 payloads, each weighing about 180 kilograms.
At peak efficiency, a HARP gun launched one of these objects at more than 2100 meters per second,
fast enough to reach an altitude of about 180 kilometers.
That's about the same height as Alan Shepard's historic Mercury mission
and is definitely into space.
But that gun also had a heck of a kick.
The payload experienced around 25,000 g's at launch,
so its electronics had to be encased in solid plastic blocks to avoid breaking apart.
Unsurprisingly, it wasn't a sustainable idea,
but these guns did help us study the Earth's upper atmosphere, so it wasn't a complete waste.
Some tests released objects that left smoke trails and
that helped scientists track the movement of high-altitude air currents.
After that, the space gun idea was continued in California in the '80s
with Project SHARP, or Super HARP.
The regular HARP guns used gunpowder, but Project SHARP was a light gas gun,
meaning it propelled objects using hydrogen compressed by a piston.
Its goal was to launch small projectiles into space, for real this time,
but the projectiles only got about a quarter of the velocity they needed.
Still, that was good enough for them to plan the final version,
which would've had a barrel about 3.5 kilometers long.
Unfortunately, the planned gun cost more than a billion dollars and was never approved.
And, although some companies have tried to resurrect the idea over the years,
we never really got serious about trying again.
With enough money, determination, and propulsion systems,
maybe someday we could build a functioning space gun.
But all told, ballistic flight just hasn't proven to be an effective way to get to space,
and its opportunity might be gone forever.
The great promise of a space gun has always been that it launches things cheaply,
but with the advent of reusable rockets like SpaceX's Falcon 9, even that advantage is disappearing.
Modern rockets can carry more stuff, do more kinds of missions,
and offer a gentle ride to space, all without breaking the bank.
So space guns might be out. But hey, we'll never stop shooting for the stars.
Thanks for watching this episode of SciShow Space!
Over the years, people have thought up all kinds of wacky ways to get to outer space,
including space guns and even giant elevators.
And believe it or not, we've looked at the science behind that one, too.
You can learn all about space elevators, and whether they'd work,

Chase Pay | How to Set-up & Use Chase's Mobile Payment Platform - Duration: 5:19.
Hi there, it's Ernest from Trip Astute. In this video, we're exploring Chase Pay -- a
new service from Chase Bank that lets you pay online and in stores without
your credit card in hand.
(light chiming music)
In a previous video, we reviewed the second quarter
rotating bonus categories for the Chase Freedom and discussed how Chase Pay is
one of the 5% bonus categories. It seems like Chase is really trying to promote
their service, especially given the growth of mobile payment platforms
like Apple Pay, Android Pay, and Samsung Pay. So I think a lot of folks, including
myself, have wondered, "how does it work? Is it like Apple Pay or Android Pay?" Not
quite, to be honest. When using the app, it's more like a cross between Apple Pay
and paying with your Starbucks app, where you have to use a QR code that's scanned
by the cashier. This means that the number of places that can accept the
payment is limited but will likely grow over time. To activate Chase Pay, you can
either download the Chase Pay app from the Apple or Google App Store and login
with your Chase account username and password, or just go online and click on
the Chase Pay link in the right hand column of your account. You'll need to
determine which card will be your default card. You can then use Chase Pay
in two ways. If you look at the list of larger merchants that accept Chase Pay,
you'll see that they either accept it online or via the Chase Pay app. If they
accept the Chase Pay app, it means that you can pay in the store using the QR
code that's generated by the app. For example, eBags is listed as a store that
accepts Chase Pay online, whereas Best Buy is listed showing that
they accept the Chase Pay app. If we try to purchase an item from eBags.com, then
you'll see that we're given the option to use Chase Pay as the method of
payment. When we click on the link, we're then asked to log into our Chase account
to authorize the payment. To show how the app works, we made a small purchase
at Starbucks. You basically launch the Chase Pay app and select what card you
want to use, and then the screen displays a QR code. Once the QR code is read,
your transaction is approved. It's pretty easy and
seamless. So before you jump in and start using Chase Pay, here are a couple things
to keep in mind. Number 1: Chase Pay doesn't work with business accounts and
profiles. This really annoys me. I basically had to rely on Fiona's phone
to show you how it all works because I couldn't get my Chase Pay app to activate.
What I found out was that since I have my business and personal profiles merged
online, I'm unable to use Chase Pay. When they combined my account,
they basically moved all my personal accounts into my business one, which
means that the account registers as a business profile. Chase customer support
did offer to separate my accounts again, but I decided against it because I like
having that combined view. I don't know why Chase isn't allowing their business
accounts to use Chase Pay. Business account users still can't use Apple Pay either
on their Business Ink cards, so it doesn't really make any sense. But I'm
hoping they change it soon. Number 2: Cashiers often mistake Chase Pay with
Apple Pay or Android Pay. Don't be surprised if you have to tell cashiers
how to process your Chase Pay payments. When we tried to use it,
the cashier instructed us to hold the phone next to the reader, like you would
for Apple or Android Pay. We had to insist that they scan the QR code. Once
they did it worked, so just know that the technology is still a bit new so you
might have to explain how Chase Pay is different than other payment platforms
when making a purchase in store. Number 3: Check offers in the app. The Chase
Pay app will show offers that you can take advantage of, as well as local
merchants that accept Chase Pay. Fiona noticed that she had a $10
welcome offer loaded on her app for using Chase Pay for the first time.
Number 4: Redeeming points for gift cards. While I don't recommend doing this
since you can often get more value using your points for travel, you do have the
option of redeeming points toward gift cards which can be then directly loaded
into the app as an e-gift card. It looks really convenient, but again, if you're
trying to get the most value for your points, I suggest redeeming them for
travel. Number 5: If you have a Chase Freedom Card, make sure you activate the
bonus category. Chase has been offering a 5% bonus for Chase Pay this
past quarter and continue to offer the bonus from
April to June 2018. If you have a Chase Freedom Card, make sure you also activate
the bonus category. If you need more information, check out our video on the
quarter two rotating bonus categories. Have you used Chase Pay? If so, did you
use it online or on the app? Please share your experience below in the comment
section. If you're interested in applying for Chase cards or any other credit
cards, please check out our credit cards offers page. We've partnered with credit
cards.com to link you to the latest credit card offers. Trip Astute does get a
