I have an iBook that has not been turned on in months and months. Of course, the battery is dead, and it won't charge from being plugged in to a wall outlet with the power cord. How can it be jumped started? Should I just take it to the Genius Bar?
Thanks in advance for your help.

You could try resetting the PMU and see if that helps.
Otherwise, a new battery may be needed.
Which exact iBook model is it?
You can choose from this list:

Thanks, Ronda, for your help. It turns out that I do need a new battery and that the Apple store right down the street has one in stock! I appreciate your help.
