Engage and Empower Young Adults Online


Work with young adults and create a blog or wiki reading community that would give them a safe place to discuss books they have read. They can also suggest titles the library should purchase. The blog spot or wikispace could have separate pages for different genres, topics, and interests.

Look for eBooks or a list of book club kits which contain enough books for up to eight to ten members to form virtual literature circles.
