Pop Culture August 6, 2007
Posted by ayucht in : Hot Topics , trackbackSophie Brookover and Liz Burns are writing a book — Pop Goes the Library: Using Pop Culture to Connect With Your Whole Community — to be published by ITI in 2008.
They are looking for input from school librarians, in particular, because “It’s one thing for us to write about what we think makes a great marriage between pop culture & libraries; it’s quite another, more powerful thing to quote our experienced colleagues on this topic.”
Please take a moment to participate in their survey, at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=qCrnyElyXlrUW6xD7KHI1w%3d%3d
so that the impact of pop culture on *school* programs can be included in their book.
Any questions? contact Sophie, at sophie dot brookover at gmail dot com.

Libraries do need to embrace modern culture to pull in young people, but should not so distance themselves from their core competency, which is providing books and education.
