Practical idea - "Boy-friendly" reading displays
16 Feb 2011
- Set up a Reading Wall in the library where boys can recommend their favourite reads. Highlight new “boy-friendly” titles in this area.
- Create "boy-friendly" themed displays in the library, for example themes based around Dr Who, sports, cars, facts, popular music etc.
- Take photographs of male staff reading books, magazines and newspapers and make them into wall displays. Put the displays up in places that students would not normally associate with reading, for example the PE changing rooms.
