Description
Summer is almost hear, Jerri talks about the upcoming summer reading programs at APL.
A
A
Well,
if
your
child
is
in
school,
if
they
only
read
six
books
between
the
school
in
to
the
school
beginning,
their
level
of
reading
will
maintain
its
level
at
the
end
of
their
school
year,
and
so
that
teacher
will
be
able
to
teach
to
the
class
and
start
teaching
whatever
grade
they're
going
into
in
the
fall.
So
very,
very
important.
Studies
in
research
also
say
that
if
a
child
gets
to
self-select
their
book
and
always
have
books
available
to
them
that
they're
reading
maintains
during
the
summer
as
well.
A
So
those
things
are
very,
very
important
during
a
summer
reading
program
and
what
better
place
then
at
your
public
library,
the
free
place
that
you
can
get
as
many
books
as
you
want
and
have
those
always
available
and
your
child
can
self-select,
but
also
one
of
our
goals
at
the
Ames
Public.
Library
is
also
to
have
a
lot
of
fun
and
fun,
reading
and
reading
for
fun
and
enjoying
those
books
and
find
that
book.
That
especially
speaks
to
you.
A
So
it's
not
just
the
children
that
are
in
school
that
we
are
inviting
to
be
a
part
of
our
summer
reading.
It's
those
babies
and
mommies
and
daddies,
and
those
toddlers
that
are
singing
away
and
reading
their
books
and
self
selecting
them
as
well,
but
then
school
age
and
then
two
teens
into
adults
and
so
with
us.
Today,
I
have
our
teen
librarian
Tom
V,
that's
visiting
and
going
to
speak
to
our
summer
reading
program
for
teens
and
Mary
our
Adult
Services
librarian.
That
will
speak
to
what
we're
doing
for
adults,
hello,.
C
A
C
Do
actually
we
have,
we
were
always
excited
to
participate
in
the
summer.
Reading
program,
like
you
say,
Jerry,
because
we
want
adults
to
have
fun
too.
Some
are
reading
at
the
library
shouldn't
be
something
that
stops
with
just
when
you
reach
a
particular
age
or
stage
so
for
a
number
of
years,
we've
offered
the
summer
reading
program
for
adults
and
have
picked
up
on
the
theme
that
is
going
on
elsewhere
throughout
the
library.
C
So
we're
really
excited
about
groundbreaking
reads
once
again
this
summer
folks
can
come
into
the
library
or
go
to
the
bookmobile
and
pick
up
one
of
our
reading
logs
very
nicely
designed
groundbreaking
reads:
form
that
will
explain
the
very
simple
procedure
for
marking
keeping
track
of
what
it
is
you're
reading
and
just
indicating
to
us.
If
you
think
the
books,
if
you
enjoyed
it,
you
know,
on
a
scale
of
one
to
five,
give
us
a
little
feedback.
A
C
We
have
in
the
past,
it's
been
really
fun
to
kind
of
go
through
the
hundreds
I
mean
we
often
have
accumulation
of
about
a
thousand
or
so
books
that
folks
have
read
over
the
summer,
which
is
great,
and
then
we
go
through
and
see.
Okay,
we're
what
were
the?
What
were
the
top-rated
books?
You
know
those
on
a
scale
of
one
to
five
people
said
yeah.
C
A
B
B
B
Then
so,
to
coincide
with
the
reading
program
are
actually
a
bunch
of
teen
programs,
and
some
of
them
are
based
on
popular
books
like
percy
jackson
and
harry
potter,
which
never
gets
old
and
but
we're
doing
something
that
you
and
with
harry
potter
in
particular.
We're
going
to
be
celebrating
the
wedding
of
bill
and
flare
at.
B
A
A
A
Just
like
yours
and
they
win
a
prize
out
of
the
prize
box,
and
then
they
do
10
additional
ones,
and
then
they
get
to
select
the
book
for
their
child
and
then
ten
more
and
they
we
have
a
separate
party
for
a
pool
party
for
the
school
age
and
or
the
younger
than
teens.
So
that's
a
good
point
to
make
to
that.
The
teen
party
is
just
for
the
teams.
No
adults
allowed
other
than
yourself
and
in
another
adult
which
is
has
in
the
past,
been
me.
So
we'll
see
whether
or.
A
This
year,
but
so
they're
invited
to
the
pool
party,
but
we
do
add
a
little
bit
more
because
you
know
when
moms
and
dads
are
reading
out
loud
to
their
children,
and
you
know
they're
doing
a
lot
of
different
things
and
many
of
these
or
day-to-day
activities
are
doing
anyway.
It's
just
recording
them
and
showing
them
the
importance
of
our
five
early
practices
and
our
six
early
literacy
skills
that
we
note
on
the
back.
A
But
we
have
them
do
a
several
more
of
those
and
ten
more
and
then
they
get
to
put
their
name
in
a
drawing
for
a
program
to
at
the
Iowa
State
Center.
They
get
to
go
out
as
an
adults
too
if
they
win
that
prize.
So
a
nice
one
with
that,
and
you
can
see
that
smiles
is
digging
up
all
those
bones
because
he's
really
a
good
digger
as
well,
and
then
our
school-aged
program
has
to
do
with
this
our
game
board
and
we
have
changed
it
a
little
bit
this
year.
A
We
are
not
doing
our
bookmobile
or
our
visits
to
the
library
as
much
as
we
are
going
to
just
do
the
reading
part
which
and
going
to
the
different
places
where
again
smiles
has
dug
holes
up
and
so
reading
along
and
each
one
they
get
prizes
along
the
way
we
have
a
couple
new
sponsors
this
year.
Subway
is
here
with
their
their
cookie.
This
year,
wheats
filled
with
their
fruit
roll-up
hy-vee's,
giving
some
apples.
B
C
A
C
C
Because
we
share
some
of
the
same
co-sponsors,
the
folks
who
helped
to
support
the
aims.
The
adult
summer
reading
program
are
the
aims,
Public
Library
friends
foundation,
also
because
they
provide
us
with
funding
to
hold
our
book
ends
at
the
bandshell
series,
which
is
something
special
that
happens
in
the
summer.
But
for
the
summer
reading
program
we
do
have
wheats
field
donating
a
gift
card
and
cafe
diem
and
chocolate
or
eise
Tom,
and
in
addition
to
that,
we
have
Iowa,
State
Center,
donating
a
pair
of
tickets
to
three
really
wonderful
performances
in
the
fall.
C
So
likewise,
folks
who
participate
in
the
reading
program
and
submit
their
entries
for
potential
prizes,
have
a
nice
variety
and
they
can
even
select,
which
prize
is
most
appealing
to
them,
and
you
know,
and
and
have
a
little
bit
of
fun
with
that.
So
we're
just
really
really
fortunate
in
this
community
that
so
many
businesses
and
other
you
know,
cultural
educational
entities
or
it's.
A
Definitely
a
community
event:
yeah
I
know
having
a
community
of
readers,
lights,
right,
Mayor
Campbell
as
signed,
and
once
our
community
to
be
it's
definitely
a
community
effort
on
all
ages.
That's
Fran,
our
sponsors
or
our
businesses
that
participate
help
us
out
tremendously
in
that,
but
the
and
the
reading
incentive
part
of
it
is
is
important
to
some
some,
the
the
real
prize
is
being
able
to
you,
know
submerse
yourself
into
that
book
and
and
use
your
imagination
and
travel
with
that
author.
A
Now
mayor,
you
alluded
to
some
programming
that
we
were
having
and
we
have
a
fun-filled
summer
of
programming
and
especially
being
in
our
new
facility
here,
although,
albeit
it's
only
temporary,
we
have
to
be
very
creative
and
what
we're
doing
and-
and
so
once
you
tell
us
a
little
bit
about
what
you're
doing
it
or
the
adults
are
concerned.
Thanks.
C
An
author
on
on
jun
9th
robbed
an
after-hours
program
at
7pm,
been
Percy
Percy,
who
actually
had
taught
here
at
Iowa
State
University
a
number
of
years
ago
and
published
a
book,
the
wildling,
which
received
a
great
deal
of
critical
acclaim
and
a
lot
of
attention,
and
it
was
really
fun
to
see
a
local
person
who
was
affiliated
with
Iowa
State,
get
all
kinds
of
national
attention.
That
happens
a
lot
and
he
came
and
did
a
program
then
well.
C
C
Excuse
me,
jun,
9th,
as
I
said,
and
then
we
are
going
to
we've
invited
Kathy
speck
from
the
Ames
Historical
Society
who's,
a
wonderful
storyteller
you'd
like
to
know
she
does
a
great
job,
I'm
telling
stories
about
the
community
she's,
really
a
great
presenter.
She
has
prepared
a
talk,
called
the
library
story
from
grocery
shelf
two
gigabytes
and
it
seemed
to
us
with
the
groundbreaking
theme.
C
It
would
just
be
awesome
to
bring
folks
back
to
our
corner
of
Douglas,
where
there's
a
heck
of
a
lot
of
ground
being
torn
up
and
so
we're
featuring
Kathy
at
the
Octagon
center.
So
we're
really
pleased
to
be
able
to
use
the
gallery
space
there
so
to
come.
So
we're
encouraging
folks,
as
you
said,
we're
in
our
temporary
location
and
it's
making
a
stretch
a
little
bit
in
terms
of
programs
and
so
we're
going
to
be
at
the
Octagon
main
gallery
on
june
18th
in
the
evening.
C
C
C
And
I
haven't
heard
our
presentation,
but
I've
heard
from
others
who
have
to
say
and
they've
said
it's
just
really
terrific
and
then
also
for
the
summer.
We're
going
to
be
having
a
couple
of
opportunities
for
folks
to
talk
about
the
all
Iowa
reads:
every
year
the
Iowa
center
for
the
book
talks
features
a
title
that
they
encourage
libraries
across
the
state
to
encourage
their
members
to
read
folks
to
read
and
discuss
so
this
year.
C
The
book
is
the
year
we
left
home
by
Jean,
Thompson
and
so
just
check
page
one
I
won't
go
on
with
dates
and
stuff
now
bore
you,
but
we
encourage
folks
to
read.
We
have
a
lot
of
additional
copies
of
this
book,
and
so
there
will
be
a
discussion
in
cafe
diem
in
June
and
and
then
another
discussion
at
choc
lottery,
stott,
chocolate
or
tomm
in
July.
So
that's
pretty
special
and
the
other
thing
that's
going
to
be
happening
is
in
July.
C
We've
invited
another
presenter
in
town
from
another
special
entity,
the
Department
of
Transportation,
the
librarian
over
there
Layton
Christensen
is
going
to
be
coming
again
to
the
Octagon.
We're
partnering
with
the
Octagon
on
that
particular
event,
and
it's
in
conjunction
with
a
gallery
exhibit
that's
going
to
be
happening
all
summer,
the
Octagon.
So
he
is
going
to
be
talking
about
the
centennial
of
the
d-o-t.
So
those
are
some
special
programs
that
we
thought
fit
in
with
the
idea
of
groundbreaking.
C
A
That
are
happening
and
I
know
we
kind
of
partner
with
that,
with
our
morning
program,
storytime,
family,
storytime,
type
of
program
that
we're
having
and
then
in
the
afternoon
we
have
movie
afternoons
over
at
City,
Hall
and
and
I
think
and
I'm
going
to
skip
back
over
here
to
the
younger
group
so
join
in
with
me
and
then
we'll
seek
some
of
the
cool
programs
that
are
happening
with
the
teens.
But
due
to
that,
our
new
space,
our.
C
A
We
have
Steve
couch,
who
has
this
really
funny
program
that
his
television
happens
to
be
his
puppet,
his
friend
that
he
talks
to
and
interacts
with
with
the
audience
and
and
I've
had
the
pleasure
of
just
seeing
him
just
recently
and
exciting.
Guy
really
got
everybody
up:
adults,
and,
and
parents
and
children
all
like,
were
just
up
and
doing
all
the
activities
that
he
was
doing,
but
we're
kicking
off
with
some
polka
dancing
on
june
fifth,
at
two
o'clock
over
at
banjo
park.
A
These
will
be
going
home
in
the
schools
as
well
that
talk
about
all
of
our
where
we're
going
to
be
at
we're
going
to
have
more
of
an
event
versus
a
family
story,
time
type
of
activity
at
each
of
these
parks,
so
we're
calling
him
family
time
at
the
park,
and
so
the
first
week
is
getting
dirty
and
we're
going
to
play
with
mud
for
all
ages.
So
I
can't
imagine
now
no
one
not
wanting
to
do
that,
but
so
we're
at
brookside
on
mondays
at
two
o'clock
and
ines
grove
at
ten
o'clock
on
tuesdays.
A
Thursdays
were
at
Daley
Park
at
ten
o'clock
and
then
Friday
mornings
at
ten
o'clock
at
bandshell,
and
so
will
get
dirty.
We're
going
to
do
a
dinosaur,
dig
we're
going
to
visit
the
animals
underground,
we're
going
to
take
a
break
over
the
fourth
of
July
week
and
then
we're
going
to
rock
it
with
rocks
and
then
tops
and
bottoms
trying
to
figure
out
which
plants
are
on
the
top
and
which
are
on
the
bottom
and
the
final
week.
A
We're
going
to
dig
for
some
treasure
and
those
are
weekly
programs,
the
same
thing
at
each
park,
but
with
a
little
variety
I.
Imagine
because
of
the
space
and
how
we
set
it
up
and
who's
there
to
present
it.
But
again
it's
for
all
ages
and
toddlers
are
we'll,
have
a
music
station
we're
having
a
Playstation
and
we're
having
a
reading
station,
so
lots
of
different
things
that
are
happening
in
that
for
all
ages.
So
it'll
be
a
really
fun
fun
time
that
we're
going
to
dig
into
reading
and
and
have
those
things
to
do.
A
B
So
APL
is
very
lucky
this
year
to
have
a
community
garden.
I'm
May
twenty-third
we're
going
to
be
inviting
families
to
come
and
help
us
plant
a
garden
yeah.
So
it's
going
to
be
themed,
there's
going
to
be
a
little
fairytale
garden,
it's
going
to
be
a
little
alien
garden,
we're
going
to
be
planting
vegetables,
we're
gonna,
be
pointing
flowers.
A
B
A
B
So
the
teen
programs
are
going
to
be
weekly
throughout
june
and
july
and
mid-august
on
wednesday
afternoons
and
we're
going
to
be
kicking
off
with
a
giant
Percy
Jackson
extravaganza.
So
pretty
Jackson
is
a
series
of
books
based
on
Greek
mythology
and
the
same
author
has
another
one
based
on
Roman
mythology,
and
so
teenagers
are
welcome
to
come
and
basically
battle
it
out.
A
C
B
C
B
Clog
and
we're
going
to
be
doing
a
hobbit
party,
so
teens
will
have
to
take
on
smog
to
find
the
treasure.
The
smog
is
stolen
and
in
conjunction
with
that
week
later
we're
gonna
be
showing
the
hobbit
and
and
then,
of
course
there
is
the
harry
potter
wedding
of
villain
flare,
which
we
actually
will
get
up
onto
the
stage
agent.
That.
B
A
B
A
A
To
help
our
garden
grow
so
so
we're
digging
into
the
lion
digging
into
reading
at
the
library,
and
we
have
groundbreaking
reads,
and
we
also
are
going
beneath
the
surface.
So
all
those
things
are
happening
here
at
our
library,
at
your
library
so
come
and
please
visit
us
and
in
adults
and
children
are
alike
to
come
to
any
of
the
programs.
I
think
they
all
sound,
very,
very
good
for
for
all
ages.
A
C
A
Relate
to
them
so
please
come
check.
Our
website
check
pick
up
our
flyers
and
and
she's
starting
june.
First,
you
can
pick
up
a
reading
program
and
start
reading
along
and
start
earning
those
prices
along
the
way.
So
until
then,
hopefully,
it'll
say
warm
outside
and
we'll
see
you
here
