SUMMARY:Connecting Books and Boys [Marlborough]
DESCRIPTION:Boys are in trouble. All right, it seems boys are always in trouble, but this is serious. Boys are failing to&nbsp; read at an alarming rate. Libraries are not solving the problem because boys are not a presence in&nbsp; libraries. Find out how we lose boys, and why, what the consequences are for boys, and what we as librarians can do to save boys from lives as non-readers.<br />
<br />
Michael Sullivan brings more than fifteen years&rsquo; experience as a Children&rsquo;s Librarian and Library Director, storyteller, and chess teacher. He is the author of several children&rsquo;s books as well as Connecting Boys With Books ( ALA , 2003), Connecting Boys With Books 2: Closing the Reading Gap ( ALA , 2009), The Fundamentals of Children&rsquo;s Services ( ALA , 2005), and Serving Boys Through Readers Advisory (ALA, 2010). He will share practical, proven, and sometimes off-beat suggestions on how to turn boys into life-long readers.<br />
<br />
Please bring a non-perishable lunch.<br />
<br />
