Join us for our Reader’s Advisory Round Table of Western MA genre study of horror (the days are longer, more sunshine to push away shadows).  Our June benchmark is My Heart is a Chainsaw by Stephen Graham Jones.  As we study genres, we all read the benchmark and then a second title of our choice.  We discuss and compare the titles, their characteristics, and appeal.  We also find and discuss items of alternate media in the same genre using our whole collection as a resource.

We meet monthly to explore various genres and how to use them to meet the reading needs of our users.  Currently we meet via jitsi to talk about the appeal of a particular genre, the readers who may enjoy that genre, and ways to incorporate materials in that genre into our readers’ advisory services.

In months without a specific genre study, we share what we are reading/viewing/listening to in our book chat discussions.   Join us for conversation, edification, and an opportunity to share reading/viewing/listening opportunities.

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