Join us for our Reader’s Advisory Round Table of Western MA.  Our topic for this session is Civic Engagement.  Our benchmark is Prequel by Rachel Maddow.   Maddow explores the American Fascist Movement of the 1930's, its growth, and the eventual confrontation and repression of the movement by activists.  Attendees are urged to read Prequel as well as a second title of their choice for our discussion of civic engagement titles and the readers who enjoy/learn from them.

The Round Table meets monthly via Zoom to explore various reading/viewing/listening genres and readers advisory skills and how to use them to meet the needs of our users.  In our genre studies, we explore the appeal of a particular genre, the readers who may enjoy that genre, and ways to incorporate that information into our readers’ advisory services.  We discuss and compare the titles and their characteristics. We also find items of other library formats in the same topic area using our whole collections as a resource.

In our Chat sessions, we share what we have been reading and suggestions for materials with similar tone and appeal. 

Join us for conversation, edification, and an opportunity to share reading/viewing/listening choices.

For questions or suggestions, contact Alene Moroni (amoroni@forbeslibrary.org) or Jan Resnick (njrezz@comcast.net).
