Rock & Roll Library Tours

Watch the video and see the coolness. This is on the Current TV website which is reporting on a rock band “High Strung” that did a 50-library tour designed to get teens to read in Michigan.
You can also see Harry and the Potters playing on the front lawn of the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh on July 7th, 2006. Check them out here.
Search “Rock the Shelves” or the tag “rocktheshelves” on Flickr too.
You gotta admire the creativity here and the crowds are obvious. Innovative strategies for reconnecting with teens through events, MySpace events/calendars and library blogs and websites needs to shared more widely.
Hence this post. The strategies are about more than just gaming and DDR – and those are cool too.
