A library in Virginia is talking to kids in a way they understand to get them to read. It has proposed a contest in which kids must read "Their Eyes Were Watching God" by Zora Neale Hurston, then create a YouTube video. Branch manager David Plunkett notes how it will allow kids to be creative with things they are interested in. All libraries should consider programs like this to encourage reading and learning. And though this would present a challenge, libraries should be able to provide video and editing equipment.
