I picked the book Reading Matters: What The Research Reveals About Reading, Libraries, and Community. Below are the tags associated with this book as well as the librarything link. I picked this book because I think it could be a valuable resource for librarians working in the public library who will be working with children.

Below is a review of the book taken from Amazon.com
From BooklistDrawing upon a wealth of published data, this book synthesizes current knowledge on pleasure or leisure reading, the role of public libraries in supporting literacy, and community backing for libraries. Inspired by the latest research as well as by myths surrounding the declining rates of reading and literacy among youth, the authors place findings within the context of the important roles that public libraries have played, are playing, and should continue to play in fostering literacy and lifelong reading. Chapters cover childhood reading, the "boy problem," patterns of reading among young adults, and readers' advisory for adults. Recommended reading for library administrators, staff, and students.
