American Library Association’s READ campaign

Here are some celebrity posters from the past:
David Bowie, 1987

Elvis, 1994

LL Cool J, 1997

Yo-Yo Ma, 2001

Ice Cube, 2005  Ice Cube’s book of choice? The Greatest: Muhammad Ali.

The Jonas Brothers, 2009
Words from the Wise. The Alchemist. A Wrinkle in Time. No comment on whether they should count as musicians.


Would these musicians make you want to grab a book, or turn up the volume?

  1. Jan, you write so many blogs! I had no idea. Usually I visit Murrieta 365 but went to your profile today, as there are a few Jans out there, and saw your works! Good for you!

    I like all the posters, quite a good idea those are, but I lean towards Yo Yo Ma as an inspiration. It's a unique way of getting music lovers to consider the wonderful world of books!

    Have a great day Jan!

  2. I just did some major spring (fall?) cleaning at the library I'm working at now and found the entire 1986 collection stashed away in a closet. I gave away most of them to patrons, but kept the David Bowie one. I'm seriously regretting giving away the Sting one! They're probably collector's items by now...
