Readers’ Advisors at the Public Library: Working with Publishers

 

Kristina Parlee (Adult Services Librarian and general fiction selector)

     and

David Hansen (Resource Manager for Readers' Services and mystery fiction selector)

 

With the rise of ebooks and the decline in the number of small book stores, where informed staff hand sell books, the public library is important more than ever as a physical space where people can meet to share their love of reading and get new reading suggestions.

 

Readers’ advisors at the public library actively connect readers to the widest possible range of reading choices.  RAs are well positioned to direct readers to newer and less widely known titles.

 

How can publishers, authors and readers’ advisors work closer together to help get the word out about new releases to the right readers?
