Competency 9-Internet Competency -POP goes the library! Use pop culture to get the word out.

This blog has some very interesting posts about how to use popular culture to reach new users and get them through the library doors. I chose this blog because it is full of fresh ideas and the blog authors have even written a book by the same title. I googled "library outreach " to find it.
