Video Book Talks

I stumbled across some book talk videos on Youtube this morning. The Appleton Public Library, based in Wisconsin, has uploaded several clips of different people performing quick book talks. I don't think any of the people delivering them are professional and the quality of the performances can vary dramatically. Nevertheless, when a performer has enjoyed the book you can tell by their excitement and engagement level. For example, the girl who introduces us to "Twilight" is clearly is a fan and I'm sure by the end of her talk several people will want to read it.

Check out Youtube for more book talks. Maybe you can upload some of your own.
