Reader’s Advisory, 10-12


How do you best go about recommending books to library patrons? Becky will go over the Reader’s Advisory interview, talk about advance preparation, and cover “elements of appeal.” Activities and scenarios  will be part of this interactive workshop, including a discussion of resources that are free and easily available to help with the process of Reader’s Advisory.


Free Lunch for those attending both workshops, 12-1


Weeding, 1-3


Do you find it hard to make time for weeding? Becky will make it clear just how important weeding is, and the workshop will include a skit and some great discussion questions to keep you from nodding off in the afternoon.


Presenter: Becky Heil (Iowa State Library)


On the registration form you can choose both workshops, or you can select one of the two. Going to both means you also get free lunch!
