00:00:03.800 --> 00:00:07.799
The talk program which came out
of Ypsilanti Public Library,

2
00:00:07.799 --> 00:00:11.340
which is text and learn
kindergarten and it's a a tax

3
00:00:11.340 --> 00:00:15.405
program that would automatically
go to parents about learning

4
00:00:15.405 --> 00:00:19.470
things and it was funded and
that's beautiful, but it grew at

5
00:00:19.470 --> 00:00:20.520
the end of that.

6
00:00:20.840 --> 00:00:23.833
The Midwest Collaborative for
Library Services said, hey, do

7
00:00:23.833 --> 00:00:26.924
you mind if we get involved in
this and try to start trying to

8
00:00:26.924 --> 00:00:28.200
do something else with it?

9
00:00:28.200 --> 00:00:31.120
And MCLS is involved in Michigan
and Indiana.

10
00:00:31.120 --> 00:00:34.240
So now Indiana is doing talk
stuff in Michigan.

11
00:00:34.240 --> 00:00:37.771
Now other states are contacting
and saying, hey, what would it

12
00:00:37.771 --> 00:00:41.360
take to bring talk to Arizona or
Florida or wherever it may be?

13
00:00:41.760 --> 00:00:45.800
And I think that's exactly the
story we need to tell about how

14
00:00:45.800 --> 00:00:49.520
federal funds going to libraries
should and can work, is.

15
00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:52.926
It starts as a Colonel, you
know, a small seed, and grows

16
00:00:52.926 --> 00:00:54.160
into this giant tree.
