Annabelle Jenkins and Barbara Hendricks

00:11 Hello, my name is Annabelle and I'm 13. Today is December 12th, 2019 and we are in Meridian, Idaho. My interview partner is Barbara and I still don't know what my relationship to your is. Really.

00:31 I really don't know but you are my favorite librarian.

00:38 And I am Barbara Hendricks 52 today's date is December 12th, 2019. We are in Meridian, Idaho, and I am interviewing Annabelle and she I was her childhood librarian.

00:56 Annabelle, how are you involved with the library can't remember time when I wasn't involved with the library mostly now it's that I help at events and I'm proud between advisory Council and just a regular Patron and I come here to study and to read whenever.

01:19 You've been coming here a long time really long time ago. I remember a story about you your daddy brought you into baby bugs baby bugs actually at the time started from 6 months and it went up to 18 months. You were 3 months. And your daddy who is a big guy had a little tiny Annabelle on his lap. He was sitting criss-cross applesauce and you on his lap and he was holding your little hands. Have you do the Motions? It's the most precious thing after Story time. He said my wife went back to work and she said if I can't take him to the library you have to I can totally see my mom saying that and I don't remember a lot of the time when my mom when my dad took care of me like all the time. I've heard him talk about it. I remember we used to go to the park afterwards and meet my mom there and that was my favorite part of the day.

02:13 Yeah, I really wish I remembered more of the early earliest times. I put my library. I think when I start having my earliest Library memory, I think I'm like five or six and I remember like these ages because my mom had a rule that we could only have check out as many books as how old we are. Remember that time. I was like, I can't wait till I'm 10 10 is like the infinity number reading of Civility and then yesterday my eight-year-old sister tricked out 12 books anymore.

02:46 What happens if I'm the oldest iron?

02:51 It's fine. I remember you and storytime. So did they be bugs and then it did storytime also preschool storytime and I remember you being such a leader. You were always such a good example to the other children. You knew what to do you would we were confident in answering questions and the other kids with luck to you and be so impressed and they loved it. And when you said still this is what we're supposed to do so you can better later since you were little tiny.

03:23 And then here you go.

03:26 Being a leader at the library. I am also a senior leader in the Train Price Right now which is been really great. But this is my last year and I'm kind of thought about that cuz I'm not sure if I'm going over to teen advisory are from just going to

03:41 Come in at random times. Cuz what types of things have you done on the tween Advisory Board. That's my favorite part. I love with all the parties. My favorite is the Harry Potter party. So since it's the craziest one the first year, we didn't expect almost anyone to come and then we had like four hundred people in her like what it was like a bunch of weight. What what everywhere

04:09 That's a good first memory because we didn't we didn't expect that but we didn't expect popular. It was in it.
