It's no secret that boys, on the average, are struggling at school. This book, targeting librarians, but useful for teachers and parents, addresses the needs of boys in relation to books - as tools to help with overall learning/education as well as tools for negotiating social scenarios and the ups and downs of life.
I found this little gem on the shelves of my local library. It includes recommendations of books for boys, areas boys gravitate toward for reading (non-fiction, humor, fantasy/SciFi),and ways to make libraries welcoming (times/spaces for snacks/talking, after school programming, male staff, chess/gaming activities, reading challenges, etc.). Lots of recommended books I can't wait to try.
