Other ways to get the message out about reading, in case you’re looking for some. Discussion on MetaFilter over whether it’s parody or social statement. Plenty of cussing, so not really safe for most works.

    I thought you meant, “read a meta-filtering book”. Gee, am I naive. Loved the video.

    […] I came across this video at Librarian.net. There is no context for the video provided on the YouTube page, but apparently it ran on BET. It’s a gangsta rap call for literacy that is in no way work friendly. Let’s be clear, do not listen to this at work without headphones or a closed and solid office door.

    So while I admit I loved parts of it, I don’t think I could actually use it. It’s definitely social commentary, and let’s just say that while some people would enjoy it, I’m pretty sure it would get more complaints about racism and classism than praise in a library context. I’d put it in the library collection; I wouldn’t build my ad campaign around it.
