SUMMARY:Readers' Advisory Roundtable - West\, Cozy Japanese
DESCRIPTION:This event was originally posted for 3/11/2026.  It is now 
 confirmed for 3/4/2026.  We apologize for any confusion. Registrations for 
 3/11 have been moved to 3/4.\n\nWelcome to our western Mass Readers' 
 Advisory genre study.  This month\, our benchmark is Before the Coffee Gets 
 Cold by Toshikazu Kawazuki. In a centuries old Tokyo coffee shop\, there is 
 a chair with special properties.  If a person sits in the chair\, they can 
 travel back in time for as long as it takes for a cup of coffee to cool.  
 They can't change the future\, but they can revisit the past. \n\nWe will 
 discuss the appeal of our benchmark and the audience for it as well as 
 readalikes to suggest to users if they want a similar title or if the book 
 is unavailable.  Each of us will read a second title of our choosing in the 
 genre as our personal choice. (Check NoveList for suggestions.) We exchange 
 ideas\, define the appeals of the genre\, suggest books and other media\, 
 and come away with an awareness of additional titles to offer our users. 
 Join us online to share your choices and hear those of colleagues.  \n\nWe 
 meet bimonthly via Zoom to explore various genres and readers advisory 
 skills and how to use them to meet the needs of our users.  In alternate 
 months\, in our Chat sessions\, we share what we have been 
 reading/watching/listening to and discover new titles\, authors\, and 
 topics to enjoy and share with our readers.\n\nThose who register for 
 sessions will receive an email reminder a week before our meeting.  For 
 questions or suggestions\, contact Alene Moroni (amoroni@forbeslibrary.org) 
 or Jan Resnick (njrezz@comcast.net).\n\nCut and paste this link to join the
