READERS' ADVISORY

I also found the Readers’ Advisory assignment quite helpful. I ventured into genres I had no interest in such as a gothic/fantasy teen novel titled, ‘A Great and Terrible Beauty,’ by Libby Bray. I also studied, People Magazine en Español (in Spanish), a resource I don’t care for. I dislike all celebrity magazines.
I must say thought, Bray’s tale about the adventures of a 16-year-old girl, was actually quite fascinating. And although I still don’t like People Magazine in Español, I can now talk about it with confidence to an interested patron.
The Readers’ Advisory form was useful to me because it gave me an idea of how to evaluate different library collections.
