Earlier this season we talked about the three required courses in this certification program. This week we are talking about one of the competencies that is optional: Readers Advisory.  We feel very qualified to discuss this, as we have been recording an RA podcast for years now: Reading With Libraries. Subscribe today!   Check out our full show notes page here, with all our links and information from today's episode!   In recent years, Readers' Advisory Services have expanded from assisting library users with identifying books to read, to assisting users with identifying materials for viewing and listening. These services consist of recommending titles of potential interest to the user to match the user's interests and experience as well as promoting the collection.

Reference Librarian Susan Paley is here to talk about genres, and so much more! Paley leads monthly in-staff book club meetings designed to strengthen a key component of a librarian's service to patrons--specifically: "Readers Advisory." We'll get into that, as well as talk about genres like horror and romance, along with Paley's efforts to enrich the library's collection of audiobooks, and travel books.     Coming soon, a new International Collection that Paley collaboratively developed with Youth Services Librarian Jordan Wright.
