Connecting Boys with Books
Boys are in trouble. All right, it seems boys are always in trouble, but this is serious. Boys are failing to read at an alarming rate. Libraries are not solving the problem because boys are not a presence in libraries. Find out how we lose boys, and why, what the consequences are for boys, and what we can do to save boys from lives as non-readers. Michael Sullivan brings more than fifteen years experience as a Children’s Librarian and Library Director, storyteller, chess teacher, and author of the book Connecting Boys With Books, Connecting Boys With Books 2: Closing the Reading Gap and The Fundamentals of Children’s Services. He will share practical, proven, and sometimes off-beat suggestions on how to turn boys into life-long readers.
