Do patrons come to you with questions on adult authors and books, and you freeze? Perhaps you love to make book recommendations, but you don't have formal training in readers' advisory? The team at LibraryReads has come up with some quick and easy advice to help you help your readers! Rebecca Vnuk, Executive Director of LibraryReads, will showcase practical tips on common RA topics, from appeal factors to trending genres to how to read a book in 5 minutes. You'll also learn how to get free copies of adult books and vote for the monthly LibraryReads list!
