Boys and Books

On January 6, Whitmore Library will be hosting a special program for Adults, aimed at anyone who is concerned about getting boys to read.

Parents and educators alike will tell you that the love of reading (sadly) doesn’t always come naturally to boys. As a story in Washingtonpost.com (1/25/05) put it “girls read; boys don’t.” Is there anything a concerned adult can do? Ann Cannon’s experiences as a teacher of children’s literature, a bookseller, a writer, and a mother of five sons have convinced her that the answer is yes. She’ll discuss strategies and specific titles that have been successful with real live boys.

This special program is especially for parents and is presented at the Whitmore Library, 2197 Fort Union Blvd., Salt Lake City, 84121-3139. Adults only. This speaker is provided by the Utah Humanities Council.

Summer Reading ends this Saturday (August 14) so be sure to come in and pick up your free book for finishing the program!

Laughter Yoga

Laughter Yoga is a physically oriented technique that uses a blend of playful, empowering and otherwise “tension-releasing” simple laughter exercises. With gentle yoga breathing and stretching exercises, rhythmic clapping and chanting of Ho Ho Ha Ha Ha in unison, a simulated laughter turns into real laughter. Laughter Yoga is done as a way to increase well-being and promote peace in the world through personal transformation. It is non-religious, non-sectarian, and non-political.
For teens & adults. Saturday, November 14 at 12:00pm.
