A
Welcome
to
a
special
edition
of
well
read:
hi
I'm
Jerry
from
the
Ames
Public
Library,
your
youth
services,
librarian
I'm
here
today
talking
about
giving
back
paying
forward
giving
of
yourself
that's
what
our
program
is
all
about
today
is
giving
of
and
paying
forward
from
a
former
citizen
of
Ames
student
that
has
grown
up
here
and
is
now
gone
out
into
the
big
world
and
is
doing
great
things
in
in
that
world,
but
also
remembering
us
here
in
Ames.
So
with
me
today,
the
guest
is
Harrison.
C
A
Are
very
focused
on
certain
things
in
our
community,
and
that
is
literacy,
and
but
before
we
get
to
that
topic,
I'd
like
to
ask
Harrison
a
couple
questions
like.
Can
you
tell
us
a
little
bit
about
your
lifetime
here
in
Ames
and
what
kind
of
library
experiences
you
have
had
throughout
those
times
absolutely.
B
I'm
Nels
pointer,
raised
here,
appointed
Mary
Greeley,
so
I
had
a
great
childhood
growing
up.
My
mom
was
huge
on
education,
keeps
on
learning
and
just
always
expand
your
mind,
so
I
used
to
come
to
the
Haynes
Public
Library
long
before
this
is
very
nicely
set
up.
I'm
the
old
one-
and
you
know
you
should
always
just
be
around
to
be
a
part
of
different
like
reading
programs,
and
you
know
you
sort
shake
out
book
and
just
be
fascinated
by
different
stuff
like
that.
So
I
definitely
credit.
B
A
B
B
School
is
big:
I
had
a
chance
to
on
the
basketball
side
of
things.
I
was
able
to
play
varsity
as
a
freshman.
Get
that
experience
my
very
first
two
years
able
to
be
a
part,
two
state
championship
teams,
which
is
you
know,
great
ride
and
a
lot
of
fun
for
and
myself
the
guys
in
team.
You
know
the
city
of
Ames,
but
on
the
high
school
front
and
I
was
able
to
I
do
a
lot
of
AP
classes.
I
was
able
to
get
involved.
B
A
B
I
tried
to
go
to
do
version
of
Carolina
Chapel
Hill
spend
two
years
there.
My
major
of
time
was
going
to
be
Business
Administration
in
finance
and,
after
my
second
year
has
had
to
leave
and
like
freshly
I,
just
finished
my
fifth
season,
my
first
four
season
with
the
Golden
State
Warriors.
This
passage
about
the
Dallas
Mavericks
scattered
in
between
was
a
world
championship
and
Olympic
gold
medal.
A
A
And
very
talented
as
well,
so
we
we
are
here
really
to
talk
about
you
and
how
you
got
here.
As
far
as
wanting
to
give
back
to
the
Ames
community
and
especially
to
the
library
and
to
raising
readers
in
Story,
County
and
but
we're
kind
of
you
know
just
the
agencies
or
the
catalyst
to
get
to
the
real
important
part
and
that's
our
children
in
our
community
and
specifically,
we
are
targeting
children
that
need
some
assistance
or
tutoring
along
the
way.
So,
and
that
was
that's
something
that
you've
wanted
to
do.
A
B
An
education
is
very
important,
I.
Think
now
you
know,
kids
are
going
out
with
so
much
access
to
social
media.
You
know,
entertainment,
there's
so
many
things
pulling
your
attention
in
so
many
different
ways,
sports
that
sometimes
they
can
that's
that
stuff
can
be
pulling
back
burner.
Things
like
you
know,
reading
math
science,
you
know
it
seems,
like
you
know,
archaic.
It
seems
like
a
bobble
on.
Do
that,
so
just
trying
to
promote
literacy
if
some
of
the
I
feel
is
very
important.
B
B
A
A
C
C
Guys
it's
going
to
be
Pentecostal
and
offense,
so
we
have.
We
have
partnered
with
the
library
with
the
Harrison
Barnes
reading
Academy
the
school,
your
tutoring
program
since
its
consumption
in
2014,
surveying
11
to
15
children
a
school
year
with
extra
tutoring,
help
matching
them
with
volunteers,
focusing
really
with
children
who
are
at
risk
of
not
being
able
to
be
successful
needing
a
little
bit
of
extra
help
during
the
school
year.
And
it's
been
wildly
successful.
A
program
that
raising
readers
started
about
the
same
time
was
our
summer
tutoring
program
which
matches
volunteers
with
children.
C
Identify
many
of
the
children
are
and
identified
by
their
parents
or
by
teachers
as
at-risk,
who
really
need
extra
help
over
the
summer
to
avoid
that
Summer
Slide,
where,
when
they
start
school
in
the
fall,
they've
fallen
behind
where
they
finish
school
in
the
spring,
meaning
that
the
teachers
have
to
work
and
the
students
have
to
work
even
harder
to
get
back
to
where
they
were
when
they
finish
school.
So
this
program
this
year,
we've
expanded
to
ten
sites
which
is
so
exciting
to
us.
C
We're
at
the
library
this
summer,
which
we
haven't
had
as
a
site
before
we
have
two
sites
in
Nevada
eight
sites
and
Ames
113
children,
which
is
about
33
children
more
than
last
year,
are
in
the
program.
We
have
95
volunteers,
which
is
more
than
twice
the
number
of
volunteers
that
we
had
last
year,
which
is
huge.
We
try
to
make
sure
that
the
children
are
matched
one-to-one
and
are
working
with
the
same
volunteers
so
that
they
have
that
relationship
building.
It's
a
six-week
program.
A
That's
what
it's
all
about
I
mean
I,
said
awesome
that
we
have
that
many
children.
It's
sad,
that
we
have
to
have
that
many
children,
but
it's
awesome
that
we
provide
that
service
to
help
and
I.
Think
our
volunteers
are
learning
to
I
know
during
the
school
year
with
the
Harrison
Barnes
on
me
that
they're
Iowa
State
student
education,
majors
and
and
have
been
trained.
So
it's
just
not
a
random
person
sitting
at
that
table.
A
And
that
just
solidifies
that
you
know
what
parents
want
is
the
very
best
for
their
child
and
the
very
best
is
being
able
to
be
self-sufficient,
and
you
have
to
be
able
to
read
in
this
world
to
be
self-sufficient.
Yes,
and
so
all
those
things
partner,
together
with
many
wonderful
people
in
our
community,
giving
back
of
what
they
can
do
by
providing
their
time
and
their
service
in
that
manner
and
again
tell
us
a
little
bit
about
the
training
they
received,
because
I
think
that's
important
too
yeah.
C
Absolutely
so,
both
with
Harrison
Barnes
school
year
program
and
with
the
reading
buddies
program,
which
will,
starting
in
summer
2018,
also
be
called
the
Harrison
Barnes
reading
Academy,
which
is
awesome,
the
the
volunteers
all
get
oriented
and
trained,
and
in
the
past
we've
done
one
big
orientation
with
everybody,
and
it's
been
kind
of
overwhelming
for
all
of
our
volunteers.
So
this
year
we've
done
site-specific
small
group
orientation.
They
are
trained
in
the
words
their
way
curriculum.
That's
the
curriculum
we
use.
It
was
developed
by
an
Iowa
State
professor.
So
it's
a
local
curriculum.
C
It's
research-based
the
children
are
read
to
by
the
volunteer.
The
children
read
to
the
volunteer
at
their
reading
level.
They
do
word
sorts,
they
do
writing
activities,
we
use
story.
Cubes
we
use
Bananagrams.
We
use
their
creativity
to
help
them
learn
vocabulary.
Words
work
on
spelling
work
on
their
writing
skills
so
that
they're
doing
something
over
the
summer
and
so
that
they
are
engaged
so
that
wins
so
that
again,
when
they
start
school,
they're
ready
to
serve.
C
We
also
encourage
20
minutes
a
day
of
home
reading,
which
is
also
very
important
that
they're
reading
every
day
at
home,
they're
recording
their
minutes.
We
partner
with
the
library's
incentives
reading
log
program
as
well,
so
that
the
reading
that
they're
using
for
our
program
also
works
for
that
there
of
your
program
and
vice
versa.
They
fill
a
sheet
with
their
reading
minutes.
They
get
a
prize.
The
prizes
are
our
different
things.
Kids
love
temporary
tattoos,
so
we
have
a
lot
of
fun.
C
Temporary
tattoos,
so
we
have
a
lot
of
temporary
tattoos,
a
collage.
No,
the
parents
love
that
as
much
as
the
kids
do
and
just
different
ways
to
motivate
them
to
keep
going
and
so
and
we
communicate
with
the
parents.
So
the
parents
are
given
ideas
on
what
they
can
do
at
home
to
help
the
process
as
well.
So.
C
C
I
think
because
I
got
to
Skype
with
you
and
talk
to
you
and
share
with
you,
they
shared
your
their
favorite
book
and
what
they
are
up
to
and
I
hope
you
loved
it
as
much
as
they
did,
because
they
talked
about
it
for
a
while
and
several
of
the
kids
that
were
in
the
reading.
Academy
are
in
reading
buddies
this
summer
and
they
were
able
to
do
your
basketball
camp
this
week
and
they
had
a
blast
doing
that
as
well.
So
it's
just
such
a
fantastic
partnership.
Well.
A
A
Time
so
I'm
at
very
fortunate
to
get
all
those
things
happening
and
they
got
to
Skype
with
you.
They
got
to
have
a
pizza
party
for
celebration,
lots
of
things
happening,
but
that
was
just
during
the
school
year
and,
as
you
pointed
out,
with
reading
buddies,
it's
very
important
and
during
the
summer,
with
reading
slump,
the
Summer
Slide
and
keeping
those
skills
up
that
we
combined
thoughts
and
Kim
and
I
combined
our
brain
and.
B
A
And
Vanessa
in
yourself
and
thought
together
and
came
up
with
a
proposal
to
make
it
a
year-round
program,
and
so
it
the
whole
year
of
tutoring
will
be
called
the
Harrison
Barnes
reading
Academy
up
through
the
county
and
here
in
Ames.
So
so
tell
us
a
little
bit
of
about
how
that's
going
to
look
Kim,
because
the
raising
readers
will
definitely
be
the
lead
on
that
all
year.
Long
Hill!
So.
C
The
curriculum
and
the
program
has
already
been
very
similar.
We
use
words
their
way
for
a
school
year
program.
We
use
words
their
way
for
the
summer
program.
We
pull.
We
recruit
the
kids
for
the
Harrison
Barnes
school
year
programs
from
the
summer
program
from
the
year
before,
and
then
we
pull
the
kids
for
the
reading
buddies,
odd,
I.
Think
every
single
child
that
did
Harrison
Barnes
this
school
year
is
doing
reading
buddies
this
summer
and
I.
Think
almost
half
of
the
Harrison
Barnes
kids
during
the
school
year
did
reading
buddies
in
2016.
C
C
We
have
sites
at
low
income
housing
units
here
in
Ames,
so
we're
reaching
the
kids
who
are
both
at
risk
for
literacy
and
at
risk
for
other
other
environmental
and
life
challenges,
and
so
we're
trying
to
just
keep
those
give
those
kids
all
of
the
success
that
they
need
to
be
as
successful
as
they
can
keep
them
in
school.
Keep
them
motivated,
keep
them
wanting
to
come
to
our
programs
with
all
the
fun
activities
that
we
do
with
the
ability
to
talk
to
Harrison
with
the
ability
to
get
new
books.
C
Every
child
and
reading
buddies
gets
a
new
book
at
the,
and
we
do
a
big
celebration
at
Reiman
Gardens
for
some
of
those
kids
they've
never
been
to
Reiman
Gardens
before
so.
It's
a
great
opportunity
for
them
to
get
in
for
free
and
check
out
the
gardens
every
year.
They
have
amazing
exhibits
there.
So
last
year
it
was
Legos
this
year.
It's
the
ocean
tradition,
which
is
sounds
awful,
but
is
actually
a
very
oh.
It's.
C
C
A
Them
out
and
to
be
successful,
which
in
turn
of
course,
makes
the
community
successful.
So
lots
of
wonderful
things
are
happening
in
that
area,
so
Harrison
you,
you
were
able
to
Skype
us,
and
that's
part
of
the
part
of
what
you're
going
to
get
to
do,
additionally
is
talk
with
our
kids
and
stuff.
So
what
what
are
some
of
the
expectations
you
have
of.
C
B
I
mean
the
biggest
thing
is
just
to
have
them,
develop
their
own
type
of
passion
and
drive
for
for
reading,
not
to
be
scared
or
be
shied
away
from
embracing.
The
challenge
that
come
like
that
now
reading
is
not
something
I
competed.
Everyone
myself
and
I
was
younger.
I
need
some
help
reading
and
you
know
once
I
got
over
kind
of
that
stigma.
B
I
enjoyed
I
loved
it
I
still
do
it
to
this
day,
so
hopefully
I'm
just
trying
to
encourage
the
kids
to
just
know
continue
to
read
to
not
let
like
you've
been
talking
about
the
Summer
Slide
happen.
Where
you're
going
strong
in
the
summer
hits,
then
you
don't
read
a
book
for
three
months,
which
always
give
them
encouragement
as
they're
going
along
the
way.
So.
C
A
B
Always
compared
to
the
analogy
of
you
know:
you're
a
young
kid
that
can
shoot
a
three-pointer
you're,
not
strong
enough
to
get
it
there,
so
we
have
to
do
you
can
start
with
the
basics
just
to
start
them
very
close
it
to
be
slow
and
work.
Your
way
out,
it's
the
same
thing
with
reading
write.
You
can't
pick
up
a
college
textbook
except
to
open
it
up
and
be
able
to
read
it
fluently.
You
know
and
get
it
you
know,
break
it
down
start
with
smaller
books.
Start
with.
B
You
know
words
how
to
pronounce
things,
how
to
start
putting
you
know,
sentences
together
and
just
build
it
from
there.
Sometimes
you're,
not
gonna,
be
able
to
read.
You
know
a
book
as
fast
as
your
friend
or
as
fast
as
you
know
the
next
person.
But
if
you
go
at
your
own
pace,
you
can
develop
a
strategy
where
you
can
learn
to
you
know,
read
faster
reading
easier,
have
more
enjoyment
of
it.
Alright,.
A
Well,
thank
you
and
thank
you
can
so
you've
heard
it
right
here.
The
strategy
to
learning
how
to
read
is
consistency
and
practice,
and
knowing
that
you
need
to
work
at
your
own
pace
and
be
confident
and
become
more
confident
in
that
that
area
of
reading,
so
giving
back
to
your
community
and
grade
level.
Reading
and
tutoring
all
go
hand-in-hand
and
because
it
truly
does
take
a
village
to
raise
our
children
and
to
make
them
successful
in
our
world.
So
thank
you,
Harrison
and
thank
you
Kim
and
until
then
happy
reading.
