At the start of the previous school year, we decided to promote many different genres using a technique we'd seen over and over again online--a book tasting! Although there was much behind-the-scenes preparation for this multi-cycle lesson, we and the students had a great time talking about our favorite books and learning about new ones. We began with gathering piles of books to "taste" and creating a sheet where students could keep track of books or genres they'd like to keep track of and possibly look at more closely. The book tasting featured a Google presentation, which you can see on the original post when you CLIC HERE, along with many more pictures related to our event. Maybe by visiting the post again you'll remember that you were interested in trying a different genre or reading a particular book!

The message to administrators and non-professional staff: if the library expects our patrons to come in and find books they like to read, then everyone on staff should know how to support the patrons to do that. The key ingredient in motivating all staff to get up to speed on the new service orientation was rebranding Reader's Advisory as Reading Conversations, taking the intimidation out of
