The Book Fair for Boys
Agent Nephele Tempest has a great post on her blog about Guys Lit Wire. Guys Lit Wire is a blog that aims to connect the oft overlooked category of young male readers with great books. They are focusing on a special project dubbed "The Book Fair for Boys" that will supply books to young men residing in the LA County Juvenile Justice System. At present, these teens (ages 12 - 18) do not have access to books unless they are brought to them. A book "wish list" has been set up at Powell's where folks can donate to this much needed cause. Check out Nephele's blog for more info on how to get involved.Labels: book fair for boys, books for boys, charity, donation, guys lit wire, nephele tempest

Most men prepare action that reading books. I hope they are sure on they target
The best way to get boys to read is by example. There are books in every room in home. I read to them as small children and they see me reading everyday. At 16 & 13 my boys still like to read even though other things grab their attention now (girls and You Tube).
My other tip? I always says yes when either of my boys asks me to buy him a book.
Very nice post. Very interesting. It is nice to know at a young age that children will start learning and yearning from books. Some still love to read though this generation is a new to the old days where technology wasn't that great. Hope this continues for the next generations to come.
Really nice post, I've learn new things from it. Very informative. I hope that this will continue to the onwards of boys that are into learning new things from books.
