Using Pop Culture to Make Libraries Better.
by Sophie Brookover, Liz Burns, Melissa Rabey, Susan Quinn, John Klima, Carlie Webber, Karen Corday, and Eli Neiburger. We're librarians. We're pop culture mavens. We're Pop Culture Librarians.
Boys and reading is a hot topic. Arthur Slade (author of Dust, one of my favorite books of all time) recently blogged about getting boys to read. It's a great round up of tips and links, including SIBYLs (songs inspired by literature) and using YouTube and podcasts.

Just posted at Art's site, but wanted to add here.
I am starting a Guys Read at my jr. high at the end of the month and will do themed booktalks, guest speakers, blogging, and podcasting.
I'm recruiting guys from a boring, end-of-day study hall so I'm hoping for a crowd.
If you're thinking of doing this, write some grants. Boys' literacy is so big that I got two from local organizations--one for $500 in books and one for $200 for podcasting equipment.
