Brown, A., & Meyers, M. (2008). Bringing in the Boys: Using the Theory of Multiple Intelligences to Plan Programs that Appeal to Boys. Children & Libraries, 6(1), 4-9.


If you are a fan of the concept of multiple intelligences, yet have difficulty implementing the intelligences into library programming, then this article will help you. Youth librarians, Amy Brown &  Molly Meyers provide many program ideas to tie activities to reading that reach all learning intelligences. Building on Howard Gardner's Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences, Brown & Meyers offer a myriad of programming that not only encourages reading, but encourages reading in young boys. A helpful reference list for further exploration of the programs and multiple intelligence theory is included as well as this link: http://multipleintelligences.pbworks.com/w/page/21917987/FrontPage  to their personal Wiki. It includes multiple intelligence programming details and directions as well as other resources.
