RA Genre Study | North Country Library System

Readers Advisory is a core service of public libraries, regardless of size. Patrons have a diversity of reading interests, but it’s difficult for any one library worker to be an expert in every genre. Maybe you’re strong in mysteries but know nothing about westerns. Or perhaps your romance game is right on, but you could use a little help with sci-fi? Luckily, there are experts in our system in every genre; the trick is knowing who they are and finding time to pick their brains. NCLS presents a series of genre discussions designed to strengthen your knowledge of different genres, subgenres, popular authors, and those who are a little further under the radar. The notes from these discussions are presented here.
