Booklist, one of the sponsors of Summer Scares, invited a team of those of use involved in the program to preview it for all of you library workers, including a librarian from a small, rural library who had great success using Summer Scares to attract readers of all ages to their 2020 Summer reading.
Here are the details about the episode with a link to listen:
Shelf Care, Episode #13: Summer Scares 2021
On this episode of Booklist’s Shelf Care: The Podcast, Susan gets real scared . . . Summer Scare(d), that is! Ha ha ha ha ha, good one.
Hear from author Silvia Moreno-Garcia and librarian horror expert Becky Spratford, librarians Konrad Stump and Evelyn Gathu, and Booklist’s own Julia Smith about this year’s Summer Scares program, from how the books are selected to that one author in the UP who can only be reached if you call the gas station in town.
