From YouTube: Well Read | Summer Reading Program
Description
Jerri and members of the youth staff sit down to discuss the summer reading program at the Ames Public Library.
A
Welcome
to
well-read
a
program
about
a
little
bit
of
this
and
a
little
bit
of
that
at
your
Ames
Public
Library
I'm
Gerry
hide
you
services
manager
at
that
library
of
yours,
and
we
are
here
to
talk
about
our
new
season
that
is
arriving
out
on
us,
and
that
is
summer
and
with
summer
comes
boys
and
girls
out
of
school
comes
longer
days
in
shorter
evenings.
So
you
can
spend
more
time
outside
and
just
how
exactly
are
you
going
to
spend
those
time?
A
So
we
have
an
offering
here
at
Ames,
public
library,
called
libraries
Rock
our
summer
reading
program
for
all
ages,
not
just
children,
but
adults
too
infants
or
infants
to
adults.
However,
you
would
like
to
look
at
it
with
me
today.
I
have
three
experts
on
our
summer
reading
program
and
let's
go
ahead
and
start
with
Alisa
she's,
a
new
person
in
our
our
group
as
an
intern,
but
the
second
summer
so
tell
us
a
little
bit
about
yourself
Alisa.
My.
B
A
C
C
A
D
A
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
say
what
I
want
why
I
said
you
were
the
behind-the-scenes
person
as
well,
is
our
little
theater
is
created
and
formulated
and
built
by
Chris.
So
anytime,
you
see
your
on
the
desk
and
tell
her
how
much
those
little
theaters
are
very
well
worth
the
time
and
effort
that
she
puts
into
it.
We
also
put
a
lot
of
time
and
effort
into
our
summer
reading
program,
both
the
incentive
side
and
the
reading
programs.
A
C
Have
baby
time
every
week
we
have
toddler
time
and
Families
storytime
and
those
will
be
continuing
throughout
the
summer.
Just
like
they
did
throughout
the
school
year
will
also
continue
to
do
our
makerspace
two
mornings,
and
so
right
after
story
times
on
Wednesday,
Thursday
and
Friday
they'll
be
back
in
the
makerspace
and
kids
can
come
and
create
it,
which.
A
Is
a
very
important
literacy
activity
to
do
afterwards
so,
and
we
also
have
our
Thursday
evening
program
that
is
kind
of
our
milk
and
bookies
program,
but
added
with
a
little
bit
of
stem
activities
that
are
will
be
happening
on
Thursday
evenings
at
6:30.
So
we
got
lots
of
good
things
going
on
so
Monday.
B
A
This
year
too,
it's
really
a
let's
see
what
sigh?
What
is
the
word
I
want
to
say
kind
of
reflection
of
what
we
do
in
the
library
on
Wednesday,
Thursday
and
Friday's,
but
it's
got
a
different
presenters
and
presenters
and
the
crafts
are
a
little
bit
outside
more
outside
friendly
than
sometimes
they
are
here
and.
A
B
A
This
is
in
addition
to
what
they
typically
do
so
you'll,
it's
kind
of,
like
you
said
the
library
is
out
in
the
community
and
yeah
a
variety
of
the
parks
that
we
have
in
our
community,
so
ADA
Hayden,
Daley,
Park,
more
memorial
and
Brookside,
so
lots
of
different
ones
and
a
couple
of
them
twice
and
so
enjoy
the
bookmobile.
If
you've
never
been
on
it,
you
have
an
opportunity
and
be
sure
and
bring
your
children
along
to
participate
in
the
story
time
in
the
crafts
as
well
so
or
maybe
a
neighborhood
child.
A
C
We
have
our
terrific
Tuesday's
in
the
mornings
here
at
the
auditorium
at
10:00
a.m.
and
we
haven't
repeat
the
program
again
at
Meeker
Elementary
at
1:00,
and
the
public
is
welcome
to
be
at
Meeker.
Also,
if
you
can't
make
the
10:00
a.m.
one
and
it's
a
really
good
lineup
I
think
this
year
we
have
we're
going
to
be
doing
some
drum
circles
and
rhythm
things
with
Fond
zeba
Tim
Reid,
our
local
author
illustrator.
He
will
be
here
presenting
again
he's
fantastic
lots
of
fun.
C
C
B
D
A
A
Tuesday's
with
have
something
and
Rick
is
also
our
hot
dog
dinner
theater
magician.
So
he
does
several
things
at
our
library
and
yes,
we
are
having
hot
dog
dinner
theater
again
with
a
special
edition
show
in
the
afternoon
at
two
o'clock.
So
there
will
be
a
lunch
that
you'll
get
to
eat,
delicious
hot
dogs
and
have.
B
A
D
A
A
D
A
A
Eat
along
with
their
children,
but
it's
a
great
way
to
have
conversation
with
others.
It's
a
great
way
to
be
nourished
during
the
summer,
and
it's
a
time-saver
to
some
moms
that
that's
what
we
heard
last
year
is
some
of
the
caregivers
were
able
to
come
and
go
to
the
or
come
to
the
library,
have
the
program
and
then
also
have
lunch
and
then
go
home
and
take
the
night,
and
so
they
they
didn't
have
to
go
home
before.
B
C
A
A
D
A
Have
a
book
list
that
they
can
do
and
now
on
Mondays
boat
hopping
back
to
Monday,
Mondays
that
you,
your
child,
can
read
and
then
discuss
some
of
those
books
that
are
on
that
list
together
in
a
special
corner
of
the
auditorium.
So
lots
of
neat
things,
but
I
was
thinking
that
what
you
were
going
to
talk
about
was
water
rocks
and
stem
lit
to
go.
Oh
yeah.
D
A
A
So
we
have
some
great
volunteers
and
experts
in
the
field
that
are
going
to
help
us
out
with
those
two
programs
and
you're
right.
We
typically
other
than
just
a
generic
large
program.
Don't
have
anything
specific
so
just
like
Chris
was
talking
about.
This
is
our
flyer,
and
everything
is
listed
that
we're
talking
about
and
more
and.
A
Much
more
that
we
have
a
separate
sheet
and
the
separate
sheet
is
for
our
tweens
and
teens,
so
the
adult
services
program
is
advertised
or
publicized
in
our
page
one
program,
and
so
the
calendar
that
is
in
the
page,
one
which
I
think
is
really
cool,
also
lists
all
the
children's
and
the
adult
programs
as
well.
So
as
you
can
see,
this
is
June's
and
it
is.
A
D
A
And
it's
more
an
event-based
program
and
it's
every
other
twice
a
month
or
every
other
week.
The
times
of
both
of
those
programs
are
listed
in
our
flyer
as
well,
and
we
are
trying
something
new
this
year,
because
the
tweens
and
teens
have
not
we've
not
really
done
a
lot
of
programming
with
mixing
there,
both
of
them.
But
this
year
we
are
and
the
the
event
program
is
probably
one
of
them.
That
will
see
more
team,
that
than
the
other
one
right.
B
A
D
C
A
Programs-
and
you
know
your
team
and
or
tween-
will
have
a
fantastic
time
with
any
of
them
that
they
attend,
so
it
kind
of
laid-back.
It's
not
like
a
formalized.
We're
gonna
sit
there
in
front
of
you
and
read
a
book
or
anything
like
that.
It's
it's
more
come
and
go,
let's
create
and
do
things
more
activity
based,
but
Danielle
is
also
doing
another
program
with
Rosie
another
you
Slytherin
and
who
would
like
to
speak
to
that
book
club
a
little.
C
C
There
will
be
a
book
club
going
on
that
we're
gonna
address
two
different
age
groups.
For
so
there's
one
for
the
more
experienced
readers.
We're
gonna
be
more
of
the
elementary
kids
enough
and
then
one
for
the
earlier
readers.
So
the
earlier
readers
will
get
to
choose
what
they'll
be
reading
two
different
books.
These
guys
one
is
Kate
DiCamillo,
zli,
groaning
Kerr
settles
up
and
the
other
one
we
don't
have
a
copy
of.
It's
checked
out.
It's
Zoe
and
sassafras.
This
first
volume
called
marshmallows
and
Dragons,
and
it's
got
a
very
science
focus
about
it.
C
C
It's
very
science
and
fantasy
based
labor
and
inker
is
about
a
cowboy
and
his
horse
Maybelline,
and
it's
just
a
real
sweet
fun
book
to
read
so
that'll
be
for
the
earlier
readers
and
then
the
more
experienced
readers
will
get
to
books
also,
and
they
will
get
ghost
by
Jason
Reynolds,
which
obviously
it's
an
it's
an
award
winner
there,
and
that
will
be
a
great
multicultural
chapter
book
for
them
to
read,
and
then
they
will
be
also
reading.
The
all
Iowa
know,
oh
that.
C
A
Yeah
so
masterminds
all
story,
county,
kids
in
all
the
different
story,
county
libraries
are
reading
or
those
that
choose
to
come.
They
get
a
free
book
along
with
that
in
that
reading
program
and
then
there's
ghost,
which
is
the
Isle
Isle
or
reads
youth
book,
which
is
a
new
new
honor
for
different
authors
or
different
book
and
their
books.
A
That
Iowa
librarians
have
chosen
a
particular
book
for
that
age
group
and
there's
also
a
teen
one
that
will
we'll
see
more
later
on
in
the
fall
and
then
the
other
two
are
for
our
1st
through
3rd
grade
kindergarten,
1st
through
3rd
grade,
and
all
these
books
will
be
given
to
the
participants.
What
one
per.
D
A
Child
happens
to
go
to
daycare
or
an
after
our
summer
school
program.
Don't
worry
because
they
also
are
giving
this
wee
some
other
wonderful
interns
like
ELISA,
that
are
taking
the
library
to
the
streets,
and
so
they
will
be
going
to
a
variety
of
places
where
there
is
a
summer
reading
program,
our
summer
program
going
on
and
adding
that
reading
portion
of
it
to
their
program.
So
it's
it's
a
very
exciting
time
that
we
have
throughout
the
whole
community
for
this
happening
and
reading
all
the
same
books.
A
If
you're
not
can't
go
to
any
of
those
but
still
need
some
reading
offerings
or
suggestions.
We
do
have
some
reading
lists
that
are
available
here
at
the
library
one
less
thing
I'd
like
to
share
and
all
this
reading
going
on.
We
also
want
to
kind
of
help
reward
or,
however,
we
want
kids.
A
real
reward
is
reading
the
book
and
traveling
through
wherever
the
book
takes
you,
but
we
are
helping
that
incentive
along
the
way
a
little
bit
and
it
is
online
as
well
as
a
hard
copy
center.
A
Go
to
Ames,
Public
Library
and
the
blue
button
will
take
you
there.
You
only
have
to
register
once
and
you
can
register
the
whole
family
even
if
you're
an
adult
and
you
want
to
participate
in
the
adult
reading
program.
You
go
to
that
site
and
you
register
as
an
adult,
and
we
do
have
similar
prizes
this
year,
scratch
off
tickets
and
then
in
the
youth
area,
we're
spending
the
wheel
and
having
a
lot
of
fun.
That
way
with
some
really
nice
sponsors
as
well.
A
So
this
happens
to
be
our
adult
program
and
then
we
have
our
our
daycare
reading
program
and
then
we're
toddlers
and
infants
program
and
then
our
school-aged
program
and,
as
you
can
see,
there's
lots
of
squares
lots
of
places
that
you
can
mark
off
for
every
20
minutes
that
you
read
and/or
some
activities
that
we
have
assigned
so
anything
from
reading
a
nonfiction
story
to
reading
aloud
to
someone
else
or
to
your
pet.
That
type
of
thing
happening
so
come
check
us
out
and
see
what
what
we're
doing
and
how
we're
doing
it.
A
D
A
A
A
In
August,
so
you
can
kind
of
take
a
look
and
register
for
that.
But
I
agree
with
all
of
you.
I
mean
there's
so
many
wonderful
things
that
are
happening.
I
miss
introducing
the
terrific
Susie's
I'm
in
a
meeting,
so
I
don't
get
to
peek
my
head
in,
but
there
are
wonderful
things
for
adults,
for
teens,
for
tweens,
for
elementary
age
students
and
also
for
our
infants,
toddlers
and
preschoolers.
A
So
you
can't
be
bored
this
summer
and
I
challenge
you
to
make
a
goal
that,
even
if
you
can't
come
to
our
programs
here
at
Ames,
Public
Library,
that
you
do
role
model
about
role
model
some
reading,
reading
aloud
to
your
child
or
reading
aloud
in
front
of
other
children.
That
may
not
be
your
grandchildren
or
your
child,
but
showing
them.
The
importance
of
what
reading
is
so
that
Summer
Slide
or
doesn't
happen
so
until
next
time.
Happy
reading.
