to one-on-one with d p sponsored by the downtown lincoln foundation on 93 7 the ticket wordstock 2026 antelope park will be here till two o'clock the event goes until one o'clock it is a fantastic book share event a wonderful gathering it's a great line for for literacy itself It's a great time to fall in love again. Every book, every new book is an opportunity to go on a journey and fall in love all over again. That's the power of literacy. That's the goal of literacy.

That for a world filled with curiosities and imagination, Brooks is the way. It's the path. It's the journey. It's an opportunity to share with folks. And for parents, grandparents, the easiest way to get your young people connected. Read to them.

Read to them. Sit down on the couch. Grab a book. Your favorite book, their favorite book. Get it to them. Get it to them. Share the stories. Allow them to dream of places that they've never been.

Introduce them to people that they've never met. You can talk about anything in the book and describe why things were the way, the era that the book is from. Not all books are the same. Some stories or love stories. Some are drama-filled. Some are funny, but they're all informative. They're all informative. And the best thing you can give in mind is the freedom of imagination.

And again, the story behind it, again, with folks from linked to literacy, to create the event, recognizing there was a space and a need to get books into the hands of young people, the easiest way for that. They spend time at school, but they have time at home. And there should be books in the home. I would imagine that the studies will show that the value of having books in the home correlate to the success that you have in a classroom. It's necessary. Books in the home. If you read it home, the classwork becomes easier.

That is the great cheat code. Put books into homes. Put books into the hands of young people. And mom and dad, granddad, granddad, you have the opportunity to do so. All right. It is a full thing, and I want to say that you can donate to link to literacy. You can go to their website. I'll have Young Wyman put the link on the stream. But the mission was very simple. It's not just a day out in public. You're supporting their mission, which is to provide literacy across and resources for the community.

It's a book exchange in every interaction promotes a culture of reading and teaming. Breaking down barriers to literacy and encouraging lifelong learning for everyone involved, and it's important to see all of that. We got a young man. No, he needs a headband. Yeah, we need to get him a headband. Yeah. Let's see if we have any left.

Yeah, a young man's rolled up here. He's got a Lincoln Software State basketball t-shirt on, which is good to watch, knowing that there's a Lincoln State Championship basketball team. They're breaking down barriers. That's what we're talking about and the difference behind it. Right? Oh, you see, he can't help him. He said he's a Dodgers fan.

That's my guy at Haute Hbrisie. He's smiling somewhere. They're everywhere. Yeah. So grab books. You have brothers, sisters? Yeah, will you read to them? Can you read to him?

Yeah. Yeah. Would you read to you, brother? Yeah. I tell you what, what's your name? Jemias? Will you read to your little brother? You promise? You give me that promise? All right, Rudy. In the bottom of that black bag, there's a set. There's a set. And this is pretty, this is pretty amazing. Yeah, it's in the rat. Yeah, it's in the, it's heavy. It's heavy. All right. So give me your, give me your name again.

Jemias. Okay. So, so, Jim. Jemias, this is a collection, the best of Dr. Seuss. I'll give this to you if you promise to read this to your little brother. Can you, can you do that for me? Right? This is cat and the hat, green eggs and ham, the places you'll go, fox and socks, redfish, two fish, redfish, bluefish, yep, all of these, cat in the hat, ABC, the Lorax, and more. Kind, sir, I'm going to task you with this, and there's a responsibility that goes with it.

Read to your little brother. Promise? Thank you. Well done, young man. Give me, there we go, brother. Thank you. Yeah, and again, it's kind of why we're here, understanding the power of literacy, getting books into the hands of young people, spreading this along.
