Description

Using this guide, libraries can connect book lovers eager to learn about recent and noteworthy books to authors and fellow book lovers. "Using this practical and thoroughly 'user friendly' guide, community libraries can connect book lovers eager to learn about recent and noteworthy books to authors and fellow book lovers … also very highly recommended and informative reading for writers and publishers wanting to create author lectures and signing events as a means of marketing their books to libraries." --Library Bookwatch "Hooper's guide is written in a conversational tone that encourages staff to get excited about planning their library's reading and book programs ... Provides valuable information and insights." --Library Journal "Hooper understands that libraries will likely adopt a portion of these programs rather than all of them, so each program (and chapter) can stand on its own and is not contingent on the implementation of another program. This is profoundly useful for library professionals who may want to sponsor a book for a certain purpose but may not want to go 'all in' on that book." --American Reference Books Annual Brad Hooper is the former Adult Books Editor at Booklist.
