Book Talks on YouTube

A Brooklyn Public Librarian exploits the draw of YouTube (where the teens are at, yo) to book talk a novel (which happens to be mine):



Here are some other examples of libraries who are using this social media tool to share books with teens:

• Appleton Public Library Book Talk Playlist
• Mitchell Public Library's Digital Book Talks
• Arlington Public Library's Book Talks by Teens and Librarians
• Book Talk Interviews with LaGrange YA Public Librarian
• Fairfax Public Library BookTalks

TIP: If you label your book talk video series with a tag like "librarian fail," teens will arrive by the hordes. Of course, you'll have to fall flat on your face at the end of the clip.
