Thing #20

YouTube hooray!

I don't have much to say about YouTube, I love the book sites that are popping up, like authors talking about their books to fans creating book trailers!
John Green is the author of several great teen books and his posts on YouTube are hilarious (see the one I added below)! I think this is a great way to help get teens interested in books and reading. On school booktalking visits I often try and show a book trailer or two.
I think creating videos to recommend books would be a fun for patrons and staff to do. And maybe creating videos so library patrons know how to do things like searching databases or looking for genealogical information would be good for visual learners.
