Hi Kate,
I'm a teacher librarian & recently started a community based blog for getting boys to read - http://GettingBoysToRead.com. Please send me a friend request if you'd like to network, share ideas, and learn more about getting boys to read.
Just came across the Athletes as Readers and Leaders project--very nice!
I'm a skateboarding children's author whose Rolling for Reading program delivers books to kids in need, via skateboard. My brother's in Sebastopol, so I'm up your way now and then (partly for the skatepark!).
Cheers,
Barb

About Me:
I am the coordinator of library services for the Napa Valley School Library Consortium, one of 14 county wide school library consortiums in the country. If you are interested in how this evolved, the PowerPoint is posted on my Library 101 Help Page.
I also have two pet projects... Athletes as Readers and Leaders which was featured in the Association of American Publishers 2008 summer newsletter and can be viewed on their Get Caught Reading Website... www.getcaughtreading.org.
The 2nd project involved a book registry for parents that we are piloting with Permabound books.... this will allow parents to purchase books from approved lists and will include complete processing.
I sit on the California's Reccommended Readings in Literature List committee and I am a Napa City County Public Library commisioner.
I have two long haired mini- dachshunds that I love dearly, 3 small grandsons; one daughter and a teacher/coach son!
