Sarah Hall’s Book Recommendations

creativelibrariesutah@gmail.com — Wed, 09 Oct 2013 22:14:32 +0000

We received a great a bunch of book recommendation brochures from Sarah Hall of the Washington County Library. They are thoughtful and beautifully designed. I have found repeatedly at my library that readers advisory makes patrons feel served better than just about anything I do at the library. Great work from Sarah Hall.

Provo City Library: world’s best booklists

creativelibrariesutah@gmail.com — Fri, 04 Oct 2013 13:56:45 +0000

The best booklists or reading lists that I have found so far in the state of Utah are from Provo City Library at Academy Square. They can be found here: Provo City Library Booklists. They have created separate kids, teen, and adult sections and each is seemingly more impressive than the last. I am captivated by the thoroughness of the Provo City Library staff and administration. They have a beautiful website in general and an enviable library.

If you are updating booklists at your library this is a great example. If you are creating booklists for the first time this is a great place to start; no need to reinvent the wheel, but make sure you give Provo some credit on your website and send the administration at Provo City Library a thank you.

Teen_Program_Guide

The Young Adult Services Division of Ohio Library Council compiled a creative collection of programs for every month in the calendar year. Each month contains detailed program descriptions including staff, materials, cost, and activity ideas that can be incorporated in your library. In addition, there are useful links to additional resources such as reading lists and presentations related to the programs.
“We know you’re doing more with less. We know your time is valuable. We also know you run out of ideas sometimes. These monthly suggestions are meant to assist you in your effort to reach teens through innovative and creative program and displays.” – Chanda Smith, 2010 Coordinator, OLC Young Adult Services Division
Many thanks to this grateful and talented Ohio collaboration!
