[LM_NET] 21st century tool promoting reading

[Carol VanHook <vanhookc@SE-POLK.K12.IA.US>]

Librarians and reading specialists can work together to an end
result--building a nation of readers. Both experts teach learners how to
find books challenging to their level and how to think about and interpret
what's being read. Additionally, librarians strive to provide an inviting
environment where readers will join together to share what they are reading.
Librarians ignite the flame in *E for Everyone* to want to read, to take an
adventure through the pages of a book, and to explore the world through
reading. It's about radiating enthusiam, keeping up-to-date
materials, offering a warm and inviting open-door policy, and marketing
what's in the collection.  That's an enormous day-to-day task
for the librarian.

What's great is when the reading specialist and the librarian collaborate
together to equip the learner with the necessary tools to comprehend and
enjoy what they are reading. A 21st Century tool that lets everyone
communicate and discuss reading is the wiki. Here's one I started last year.
Take a look! Maybe you have recently read a book appropriate for young
adults that you could share. You are welcome to add this information at
http://booktalk.pbwiki.com. Let me know if you would like to edit this wiki,
I will send you the login.
