The Massachusetts Library System is pleased to announce that we have contracted with PCI Webinars to provide our members with access to their live webinars.  These webinars are free to MLS members who register through our calendar. Please do not register directly with PCI. Members who register directly with PCI are responsible for paying their registration fee. 

Please help us keep MLS sponsored training free for all members. If you are unable to attend the live webinar, please cancel your registration. A cancellation link can be found in your confirmation email, or you may contact Sarah Donnelly at sdonnelly@masslibsystem.org to cancel. 

Because we are working with an outside vendor, it is important that you cancel your registration in the event that you are unable to attend the live webinar.  A recording of the webinar will be available on the PCI Webinars Niche Academy website about a week after the live webinar.  If you have any issues registering or signing into the PCI Webinars Niche Academy website, please let us know.  Please do not contact PCI Webinars or Niche Academy directly about their live webinars or webinar recordings.

Description

Readers love Romance, but with all the different sub-genres and tropes, it can be hard to keep up! Join us for a one-hour webinar to get the skinny on all things Romance RA. We’ll talk about how to talk about Romance from across the desk (door closed, open or cracked?) and how to craft the most effective search to find your patrons the book of their dreams!

We’ll also discuss the language we use surrounding the content of romance novels (including spice levels), read-a-likes for popular authors, and if you can really judge a romance novel by its cover! 

Who Should Attend

• All Staff that Interacts with Patrons
• All Circulation Staff Members
• Reader’s Advisory Staff

Presenter

Emilia Mudd has been a librarian for thirteen years with Calvert Library in Maryland, and has been reading romance for a lot longer than that! She has an MLIS in Library Science from San Jose State University and is a published romance author.

In her spare time, she is an avid reader of many genres and enjoys gardening and drinking too much coffee.
