I am the Library Whisperer
Just finished the Book Whisperer for a young-adult literature class I “may” be taking over the Summer (yes, “may” there is some doubt, but it is a long story). The book advocates for carving out free reading time in classrooms and for teachers to do what is basically reader advisory for students.
The title inspires me to be the Library Whisperer which I am going to do in this class. I will work to advocate to teachers taking the class with me that they actually take advantage of all the great librarians out there to help them with developing their own collections and book suggestions.

For a second I thought you were going to coax reluctant readers to come into the library to spend some quality time (we do have some comfy chairs) to just read. I like it. You can also be, “The Lisperer.” More power to you!
