Reading+Advocacy

Questions to Consider:
What is the role of reading guidance in the middle school library? How can we as librarians encourage students to find joy in reading? Is it just about encouragement? Should we be building better readers? How does this support our mission, or not? What to do about aliterates -- those who can but don't? Boys? Reluctant readers? Series readers?
