My name is Susan and I am currently studying a Masters of Information Technology in Library and Information Science at Queensland University of Technology.
This blog is for my reflections on CLN647 Youth, Popular Culture and Texts. This class is probably more specific to teacher-librarians, but I've always liked encouraging teenagers and kids to read is a really important aspect today. As the role of a Young People's Librarian looks attractive to me, I thought this could possibly benefit my future career.... Also it was nice to step away from library specific content!
I think it's important to appeal to young people to read and if pop culture is going to reel 'em in, let's do it!
