Booktalk Your Way to the Friendliest Library in Town

Booktalk Your Way to the Friendliest Library in Town: Booktalking is at the heart of what we do with patrons at the public library. Whether we are sharing books informally at the services desk, presenting a prepared list of books, or posting information online, talking about books is something we do each and every day. It is a core service, but it is also hard to do. Or is it? It is not, especially if you focus less on tallying transactions and move toward an environment of cultivating conversations. Join experienced Readers’ Advisor Becky Spratford as she shares the secret behind deepening patron engagement, creating relationships, and increasing circulation, all by simply rediscovering the power and joy that comes from sharing a good read.

This session is from 2pm to 3:30pm on Zoom.
