I would love to know what some of the popular titles were if you can remember them.BookZonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03218467691812670770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-910076169469562984.post-61322022822432879332010-01-06T23:11:16.950+00:002010-01-06T23:11:16.950+00:00This is one I will be reading this year and thanks...This is one I will be reading this year and thanks for the trailer I had not seen that before, makes me want to read it even more. I am also reading a bit more graphic work this year, and some manga, I know a lot of teenagers really into Death note and the like. Actually we tried to grow our graphic collection where I was working last year and the effect was startling, reluctant readers could not get enough they were coming in at lunch time to change books and a couple kept getting out the same title not because they hadn't finished, they just loved that particular title so much they kept re-reading it, for some of them it was the first time they had loved a book. The effect was great, our better readers were also devouring them and the girls. They also became a means of interesting them in more demanding reading something in graphic would spark their curiosity and interest and we could guide them onto more traditional books. The graphic collection was teaching them to love books. We did back the collection with promotion and as much encouragement as we could and it payed off. I had at least two boys 11 yr old who had never been to the public library before, join and they came back to me all excited about the local library, days like that I think wow and they pay me to do this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
