For this search I accessed ERIC Ebsco Research Database and selected academic search complete. My first term was "library" and this brought 488,613 results. I added "reluctant" and received 213 results. I added "encourage" as my third term and received five results. I found two articles out of five that I really liked. See my results on the following screen shots.
The first article was found at hit #2. It is titled, "Kid's Stuff: Fun and Games with Children's Authors" by Dr. D. Jackson Maxwell. He developed a matching game that involves searching authors and titles on your school computer catalog or the Library of Congress Online Catalog.
Kid's Stuff: Fun and Games with Children's Authors. By: Maxwell, D. Jackson. Library Media Connection, Oct2005, Vol. 24 Issue 2, p48-50, 3p; (AN 18438206)
The second article was found at hit #4. It is titled, "A Novel Approach: Using Graphic Novels to Attract Reluctant Readers and Promote Literacy" by Philip Crawford. This article discusses the benefits of graphic novels for reluctant readers. Crawford put together a recommended book list of graphic novels that are divided by: science fiction and fantasy, super heroes, horror and super natural fiction, and social issues. The titles chosen for this list are grade level appropriate and are free of excessive violence, profanity, and adult situations.
