[WLA-All] Tales Told Tall in Casper

[Jerry Jones - NATR]

Please excuse the cross posting:

The Natrona County Public Library would like to extend an invitation to 
librarians (especially those who work with youth) statewide to come to 
Casper, Wednesday March 28. Michael Sullivan, from Portsmouth, NH will be 
presenting: 
 
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 as librarians 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 ( ALA , 2003) and The Fundamentals of 
Children’s Services ( ALA , 2005). He will share practical, proven, and 
sometimes off-beat suggestions on how to turn boys into life-long readers. 
 
The program will be from 10 am-4pm and will be held at the Natrona County 
Agriculture Resource and Learning Center , 2011 Fairgrounds Road.
