Facts About
Fiction: Basic Readers' Advisory Services for
Library Staff
July 17 9am-4pm (Onsite)
http://www4.uwm.edu/sois/CE/
If you ever answered (or
heard) the question "Have any good books to
read?" at the public service desk, you've
engaged in some readers' advisory. Learn
exactly what RA is, why library staff do it
(and why we should continue to do it) and how
to help readers find reading material they
will enjoy. Learn about popular genres, how to
evaluate books quickly for levels of appeal,
and ways to expand your own knowledge of
popular reading. Be prepared for hands-on
activities and plenty of conversation about
good books.
