- Instead of offering book reccomendations, we wanted to talk to you about a project we completed for Teen Tech Week that has had a big impact on our Reader’s Advisory and Collection development.
- Purchased 4 “shoot and share” cameras – like a flip video camera but not. Also had “swag” with facebook address on it and Candy – Candy proving to be the most critical factor
- Readers outweighted non-readers 2-1 (more even among boys) . Learned things from both. Start with lessons from the readers. The first lesson we have for you is one we’re pretty sure you already know…
- Everybody loves the Hunger Games. Zach.This was a recurring theme in the videos, and mentioned by name several times.
- The love for the Hunger Games spans ages, genders, you name it. Zach.
- Here are a few recommendations for Hunger Games fans. You probably already have a list at you library for this. If not, we do, visit the Glendale Library Teen page to download it. But a few things to remember is that teens of all ages – older and younger – are reading the Hunger Games, so make sure to include middle grade books and adult books. Also, newer isn’t necessarily better. Just because a book has been out forever doesn’t mean teens are aware of it.
- We got a ton of Reading Confessions from kids in IB (International Baccalaureate) and honors programs. Caitlyn who is a senior at Ironwood. This was another reccuring theme – I’d love to read if I had time, and if I’m going to make time, I’m going to read a “classic”
- Classics worth your time. When recommending classics, make sure you’re not recommending classics that are already on the curriculum. Nothing kills a book buzz faster than required reading. Check with your faculty or your local schools to find out what’s being taught.
- Another tip, if like us, you avoid classic lit (too many good zombie novels and fantasy books) talk to your adult staff. Odds are good they have some ideas for classics you might not know of, or have blocked out. This is Val, a member of our adult staff.
- Kids who were 10 when the first Harry Potter book came out are 24 years old now. This generation grew up with the HP books. This is Mallory, a Freshman. Mallory started with Harry Potter then moved on to other fantasy
- Jonathan is Merideth’s favorite reading confession
- So, when looking for books like HP, make sure you consider older readers too. Look to your adult section and again, consider older books.
- “Aaron” is an older teen, and a jock.
- Alex – never doubt the power of hormones. The lesson here is talk up books whenever you get a chance. Because even though Aaron and Alex might not be readers, maybe their friends, or boyfriends or family members are. Model good, casual book talking behaviors, help train teens to talk about books with their friends.
- We love Kendra’s video because it shows the power of casual booktalking, and proves that families who talk about reading and books grow readers. Encourage your teens to share what they are reading with their parents.
- HolderSo, Holder does read, but is unwilling to talk about it, because it’s “gay” Guys are often embarrassed to talk about what they read.
- Sex for Guys: Two copies at Main Library have checked out 4 times in 2 years, but shows 6 in house uses since we started tracking in April 2011.
- Kid in Blue racing shirt – doesn’t read, but can name exact title of favorite book as a kid.
- One of the goals of the project was to raise our online profile.We did this
- Choose place and time wisely
- Ask follow up questions
