Abstract
Abstract The goal of the Real Men Read initiative was to provide Pre-K-6 students, especially boys, the opportunity to meet male mentors from the William Paterson University community who have a love of reading and learning. Mentors read grade appropriate books to Pre-K-6 classes in northern New Jersey school districts. The initiative was organized by the David and Lorraine Cheng Library and partnered with the university’s College of Education to identify and place mentors at nearby schools. The successful initiative brought mentors to different schools and elicited a positive response from all the elementary classes involved.

期刊介绍:
College & Undergraduate Libraries enables libraries serving primarily undergraduate students to enhance the range of services, resources, and facilities offered to their constituents while also contributing to staff professional development. Whether focusing on public services, technical services, management, or technology, the journal highlights the fact that undergraduate libraries must collaborate with agencies both on and off campus in order to survive and thrive. In addition to numerous columns on current topics, typical contents include research-based articles, case studies, reports of best practices, an occasional literature review or product review, and opinion pieces.
