A
Hi
welcome
to
well
read
a
program
about
a
little
bit
of
this
and
a
little
bit
of
that
at
your
aims.
Public
library,
I'm
gerry,
hide
youth
services
manager
at
the
Ames
public
library
and
today,
I,
would
like
to
discuss
and
share
with
you
some
of
the
important
things
that
we
do
in
our
community.
Now
our
mission
is
to
connect.
A
B
B
A
B
United
Way's
mission
is
a
lot
like
the
library
we
want
to
connect
people
in
partners,
but
we're
focusing
on
what
are
our
community
needs,
first
and
foremost
in
the
area
of
Human
Services.
Looking
at
what
are
those
possible
solutions
to
the
problems
that
we've
identified
and
then
really
looking
to
the
partners
in
the
community?
So
I
would
call
non-traditional
and
traditional
partners
and
setting
up
efforts
to
make
sure
that
we're
getting
to
the
root
causes
of
problems
in
our
community
and
that's
what
attracted
me
so
much
to
United
Way
of
story
county.
A
B
A
B
United
Way's
is
a
member
of
united
way
worldwide
and
a
number
year
number
of
years
ago,
united
way
worldwide,
looked
at
the
work
that
we're
doing
and
really
thought
and
thought
hard
and
strategically
about
how
we
talk
about
our
work
and
our
work
really
is
about
education,
income
and
health.
We
are
advocates
in
the
community
for
those
without
a
voice.
We
look
to
volunteers
to
help
in
those
area
us
and,
of
course,
giving
is
the
other
arm
of
what
we
need
to
do.
B
But
we
adopted
United
Way
of
story,
county
adopted
fully
education,
income
and
health
right
before
our
2013
campaign
and
the
reason
why
we
did.
That
is
because
it
makes
it
easier
to
talk
about
our
work,
but
in
2012
we
were
part
of
a
conversation
in
the
community,
be
about
education
and
literacy.
And
what
would
our
community
look
like
if
it
was
a
city
of
readers
and
I
know
that
the
library
was
at
the
table?
B
At
that
conversation
too,
and
the
more
we
we
studied
and
researched
about
early
education
and
early
literacy,
and
we
realized
that
that's
going
to
just
help
us
in
the
areas
of
income
and
health
down
the
road.
We
as
a
community
then
put
together
what
was
called
a
community
solutions
action
plan
and
join
the
national
campaign
for
grade
level
reading.
So
we
were
one
of
a
hundred
and
twenty
three
communities
that
that
was
part
of
that
effort.
B
It
was
a
very
interesting
exercise
because
we
did
focus
focus
on
what
are
we
doing
in
our
community
around
school
readiness,
so
the
early
literacy
piece?
What
are
we
doing
around
school
attendance?
Because
we
know
that
if
a
child
is
not
in
school
they're,
not
probably
going
to
catch
up
and
learn
as
well
as
if
they're
there
every
day?
B
For
that
instruction
and
the
other
was
out
of
school
learning
or
what
we've
adapted
fully
is
summer
learning
and
those
three
things
are
so
important
to
grade
level
reading
and,
as
you
know,
our
state
of
Iowa
is
looking
at.
If
children
aren't
reading
by
the
time,
they
leave
their
grade
that
school
districts
in
our
communities
need
to
be
able
to
provide
remediation
or
intervention
in
the
summer,
and
so
it's
really
a
perfect
time
for
us
to
be
involved
in
it.
But
there's
other
reasons
too
and
I.
A
After
that
hierarchy
of
needs
that
you
have
to
be
yeah
like
you're,
not
doing
your
best
when
you're
hungry
and
neither
are
students
that
are
our
coming
from
home,
that
haven't
had
breakfast
and
and
during
the
school
year.
There
are
programs
for
that.
The
the
school
lunch
program
yeah
that
they
get,
that
that
lunch
some
food
right,
but
that
isn't
always
enough
and
then
summer
comes
and
there's
not
that
at
all
for
them
right.
B
B
We
do
have
a
hunger
collaboration
that
started
in
2011
and
really
looking
at
what
are
the
underlying
causes
of
hunger.
We
also
looked
at
the
fact
that
many
of
the
children
that
are
coming
from
families
with
lesser
and
lesser
financial
resources
are
on,
what's
called
the
free
and
reduced
lunch
program
during
the
summer
or
excuse
me
during
the
school
year,
and
we
know
that
in
storey
County
the
only
summer
food
service
program.
So
that's
one.
That's
through
the
Iowa
Department
of
Education
and
USD
per
US
Department
of
Agriculture.
B
We
only
had
one
in
our
community
in
our
whole
story
county
and
it
was
very
well
received
it's
at
the
Boys
and
Girls
Club
and
during
the
summer
months
they
serve
a
meal
to
anywhere
between
100
and
120
children,
but
that
was
the
only
one
we
had
and
our
free
and
reduced
lunch
rate,
which
is
a
way
to
measure
poverty
in
our
county,
is
about
twenty-five
percent
average
countywide.
So
we're
talking
one
out
of
four
children,
not
having
all
of
the
resources
their
family
needs
in
order
to
feed
them.
B
B
B
The
hunger
collaboration
really
identified
excuse
me
Nevada
as
an
area
that
really
we
could
work
with,
and
so
in
the
summer
of
2013,
we
worked
with
lots
of
community
partners,
like
I,
said
the
traditional
and
the
non-traditional,
and
we
worked
with
the
Nevada
public
library
as
well,
and
our
first
we
decided
to
just
kind
of
get
her
ourselves
a
little
bit
into
the
program.
So
we
actually
had
16
days
of
summer
food
program
and
it
was
at
st.
Patrick's
Church
and
during
that
summer
total
we
served
176
different
children.
B
We
partnered
with
her
toe,
which
is
the
heart
of
Iowa
Regional
Transit
Authority,
to
help
us
with
transportation,
because
the
Vedas
school
district
is
very
wide
and
and
and
and
not
all
of
the
kids
can
walk,
and
so
we
were
able
to
bring
some
of
the
kids
to
the
program.
That
way,
we
also
knew
through
our
education,
with
Iowa
Department
of
Education
and
and
the
Summer
Food
Service,
folks
that
the
most
successful
summer
feeding
sites
are
those
that
have
programs.
So
we
just
did
a
little
bit
of
enrichment
activities.
B
B
A
Then
we
took
you
took
the
successes
and
the
knowledge
that
you
learned
from
Nevada
and
last
summer,
combined
with
the
library's
absence
of
a
building
with
meeting
rooms
and
that
type
of
thing,
but
also
the
emphasis
on
school
learning
summer
learning.
We
did.
We
focused
on
aims
as
well,
and
we
started
a
great
collaboration
with
our
school
district
at
the
Ames
middle
school
and
those
enrichment
activities
that
you
talked
about.
A
A
There
we
go
that
the
nice
way
to
put
it
so
and
and
so
we
we
learned
that
there
was
definitely
a
need
there,
but
again
that
was
kind
of
in
a
location
that
you
had
to
go
there
in
that
area,
the
bus.
You
know
the
kids
were
already
there
kind
of
like
with
the
boys
and
girls
come,
so
it
were
kind
of
evolving
now
we're
here
into
the
third
summer,
and
you
have
more
partners
and
growing
additional
family
of
places
that
we
can
have,
and
that
happens
to
be
here.
A
B
We
do
have
a
lot
of
partners
and,
at
some
point,
I
want
to
talk
about
all
the
partners,
but
this
summer,
especially
we,
we
have
a
partner
with
our
Summer
Food,
Service
Program.
So
for
part
of
that
program,
you
have
to
have
a
sponsoring
organization
that
works
directly
with
the
Department
of
Education.
To
make
sure
all
the
paperwork
is
completed
because
for
every
meal
that
is
served
if
you're
in
a
certain
kind
of
a
program.
Your
reimbursed,
a
certain
rate
for
that
those
those
meals
and
youth
and
shelter
services
is
our
partner.
B
So
they're,
the
sponsor
and
Jerry
bug
in
particular,
has
a
real
passion
to
feed
children
as
well,
and
it
was
her
idea
really
to
look
at
another
meal
site
and
of
course
you
Jerry
was
had
told
us.
Can
we
do
something
here
closer
to
the
library
and
so
we're
partnering
next
door
with
the
first
united
methodist
church?
B
And
this
is
when
we're
getting
to
all
the
non-traditional
partners,
we're
also
partnering
with
Mary
Greeley
Medical
Center,
who
is
going
to
vend
the
food,
so
they're
actually
going
to
prepare
the
food
on
site
and
then
bring
it
to
the
church
or
we'll.
Have
somebody
bring
it
to
the
church?
So
we
are
going
to
be
able
to
feed
the
children
in
between
your
two
programs.
B
So
that's
exciting
for
us,
because
we
know
with
the
Nevada
program
growing
and
having
the
enrichment
efforts
and
the
Ames
program
growing
and
having
the
enrichment
program
that
at
this
point
in
time,
we're
not
able
to
to
set
up
a
whole
nother
enrichment
program,
and
the
reason
is
why
should
we
write
when
you've
got
a
perfect
enrichment
program
right
here
at
this
beautiful
new
space?
Why.
A
That
and
that's
why
we
all
have
partners
so
and
and
that's
just
to
kind
of
let
our
public
or
viewers
see
know.
What's
going
on
so
on,
Monday,
Wednesdays
and
Fridays,
the
food
will
be
available
next
door
and
so
then,
on
Monday,
Wednesday
and
Friday
mornings
at
ten-thirty.
We'll
have
a
family
program
of
such
that
you
know,
will
be
kind
of
stations,
and
our
theme
this
summer
is
every
hero,
has
a
story
and
I
can't
help,
but
think,
but
all
these
wonderful
partners
are
all
heroes
of
our
community.
A
Well,
can
come
back
here
at
12
45
for
another
hour
program
for
K
through
fifth-graders
on
Wednesday
afternoons,
it'll
be
our
teens
and
from
so
6th
grade
through
12th
grade,
as
we
defined
our
teens
here.
Ames
public
library
and
then
on.
Friday
afternoons
will
have
movie
afternoons
that
start
at
one
o'clock
and
so
won't
be
really
wonderful.
Snacks,
but
we'll
have
popcorn
and.
B
A
We'll
have
it
here
at
the
library,
but
then
tues
afternoon,
at
twelve-thirty
will
feature
paid
presenters
that
will
show
there's
their
heroic
activities
that
they
can
share
with
all
the
kids
at
the
the
summer
camp,
little
cyclone
camp
and
then
also
here
at
the
library
in
the
morning,
so
lots
of
different
activities,
but
in
dish,
in
addition
to
that
those
are
experienced
type
of
activity.
We.
B
B
Right
so
both
programs
in
Nevada
and
Ames
will
offer
breakfast
and
both
programs
are
are
using
the
theme.
Every
hero
has
a
story,
so
we're
very
excited
about
that,
because
it
shows
some
consistency
in
our
county
and
both
programs
will
have
lunch
and
that
that's
ideal
and
we're
excited
that
the
aim
squeeze
school
district
is
allowing
us
to
use
once
again
auditorium
or
the
Nevada
aims
public
library
program
on
tuesdays
at
Tuesday
afternoons
it
gives.
In
this
summer
we
have
about
a
hundred
and
thirty
children
at
the
Ames
program
signed
up.
B
A
Was
going
when
I
observed
and
and
watched
our
that
paid
presenters
go
I
mean
that
the
storytellers,
especially
we
don't,
usually
have
storytellers
come
into
our
school
system?
That's
we're
all
storytellers,
but
the
professional
ones
that
are
out
on
the
circuit
and
then
so
that's
what
we're
opening
up
with
is
Pippa
white,
who
is
nationally
known
storyteller,
and
it
was
a
last
year
we
did
had
marine
corps
de
who
is
also
a
nationally
known
storyteller,
and
it
was
very
interesting
for
me
to
watch.
A
The
kids
react
to
her
telling
the
story
and
you
and
of
course
it's
all
antidotal
II
and
my
my
interpretation
of
their
facial
expressions.
But
you
could
see
that
you
know
they
were
taking
it
in
and
and
really
growing.
You
could
just
see
them
grow
with
it,
and
it
just
made
me
feel
so
good
inside
that
we
were
all
helping
in
our
community
to
be
a
better
community
with
adding
these
enrichment
activities
for
the
kids
that
they
may
not
have
ever
had.
Another
experience
with
and.
B
Another
component
of
the
program
through
the
Ames
reads,
effort
and
through
raising
readers
of
story
county
is
the
reading
buddies
and
they
will
once
again,
this
will
be
I
think
there
are
third
year,
I
believe
so
doing
tutoring
in
the
summer
for
kids
and
they'll
have
that
all
ready
to
go,
and
they
all
have
at
least
five
sites.
Maybe
more.
I
think
that
they're
looking
at
the
library
is
one
of
those
sites
and
Bethesda
and
well
I,
won't
say
all
of
them,
because
I
can't
remember.
But
so
it's
a
great
opportunity.
B
But
the
neat
thing
about
that
program
is
that
they're
going
to
carry
it
a
little
bit
further
into
the
summer,
then
our
enrichment
program
will
be.
As
you
know,
schools
are
not
allowed
to
start
before
august
twenty-third
and
so
that
stretches
that
summer
learning
loss
even
greater
for
some
of
those
kids
who
don't
have
all
those
opportunities,
and
our
ultimate
goal
is
not
only
just
to
feed
the
kids
but
to
make
sure
that
they
maintain
or
gain
during
the
summer
and
that
they
don't
lose
and
if
we
can
get
them
involved
in
library
programs.
B
If
we
can
get
them
involved
in
enrichment
programs,
if
we
can
just
get
them
reading
a
book
in
the
summer
every
day
for
20
minutes,
we
can't
say
how
important
that
is.
It
is
very
important,
but
there
there
are
so
many
opportunities
in
ames
and
in
storey
County
for
children,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
do
help
the
library
in
their
mission
of
Connect,
connect.
A
A
That
happens,
I'd
like
to
visit
a
little
bit
about
that
book
too,
because
that's
you
know,
we
have
a
library
full
of
books
here
and
that's
very
important
in
every
community,
but
it's
also
important
for
a
child
or
for
an
adult
to
have
that
book
available
at
any
time
that
they
own
and
that
they
church
and
they
take
care
of,
and
it
may
surprise
our
viewers
that
not
everybody
have
book
has
books
in
their
home.
It
makes
me
very
sad
when
I
hear
stories
of
you
know
what
they
didn't
have
any
books
or
it's.
A
B
A
So
hearing
that,
so
our
aims,
friends
foundation,
donates
books
for
our
summer
reading
as
well
and
both
our
reading
program
they
earn
that
book
by
reading
or
doing
these
activities
that
we
ask
of
them.
But
the
reading
buddies
and
the
enrichment
program
at
the
little
cyclone
camp
also
get
an
additional
book,
so
they
can
do
the
reading
program
and
because
they
are
being
read
to
and
or
are
reading
at
the
summer
school
earn
their
an
additional
book
as
group
activity.
So
hopefully
many
of
these
children
will
be
able
to
choose
their
own
book.
A
That's
important
to
them.
You
know
that
it
also
needs
to
be
age
appropriate
to
some
degree
too,
but
even
if
it's
just
a
book,
it's
about
somebody
or
something
that
they
know
about,
and
they
can
just
look
at
the
pictures.
Studies
and
research
show
that
that's
is
important.
That
self
selection
is
as
important
as
being
age-appropriate.
So
lots
of
really
wonderful
things
are
happening.
You.
B
Made
me
think
of
a
story
for
the
Nevada
program,
the
very
first
as
their
library
was
undergoing
some
renovations
to
so
they
had
all
the
library
books
that
were
donated
for
their
library,
time
and
boxes
and
boxes
and
boxes,
and
the
volunteers
spent
many
hours
leveling
the
books
to
make
sure
that
they
were
in
certain
stacks
of
age
appropriateness
and
had
them
all
laid
out
on
the
table.
Then
the
kids
were
allowed
to
take
one
home
or
take
two
home
or
take
three.
B
We
didn't
limit
it
and
after
all
this
hard
work
of
leveling
the
books,
the
kids
came
in
like
ants
and
just
went
through
those
books.
They
were
so
hungry
for
literature,
literature
that
it
was
just
like
a
upheaval
afterwards,
and
so
we
learned
that
we
didn't
necessarily
need
to
level
them.
They
did
that
on
their
own,
so
that
self
selection
is
important
and.

A
Having
a
lot
of
rounders
all
the
programs
that
we
need,
volunteers
for
and
it's
just
an
easy
click,
click
here
and
sign
your
name
and
you
will
be
part
of
our
volunteers.
So
thank
you,
Jim
very
much
for
coming
in
and
sharing
part
sharing
your
passion
as
ours
and
and
we
we
do
as
a
community
need
to
work
together.
A
It
does
truly
take
a
village
to
help
our
community
be
the
best
community
that
there
is,
and
one
of
those
ways
is
getting
our
little
ones
from
our
school
aged
ones,
successfully
succeeding
in
school,
and
so
it's
a
work
with
all
the
collaborative
partners.
So
if
you
need
to
volunteer
or
want
to
volunteer,
you
know
we
have
a
place
for
you.
So
please
come
and
look
at
the
websites
and
come
be
a
part
of
our
success
in
our
community
and
connect
you
and
our
community
to
the
world
of
ideas.
Until
next
time.
Happy
reading.
