Booklist has debuted a new publication, and this one is public facing. Booklist Reader is now a Readers' Advisory product for you to share far and wide, with your patrons.
This month it is all about Crime Fiction and includes extensive annotated reading lists of titles by age level and format. There are also interviews with authors and every month will feature that month's LibraryReads list and Hall of Fame authors.
It is useful? Yes! 100% yes. Everything in here can be used by you immediately to help patrons.
But even more important, it looks great! This is a professional magazine crew putting out this information. Your patrons will want to click through and read it. You can print out lists to hand out to patrons of all ages. You can build displays and offer a print take away. And each list is not only filled with some of the best RA info you can find anywhere, but it also makes you look like you upped your graphics game and or budget, which will impress your patrons [or at the very least grab their attention better].
And all of it is included with your Booklist subscription. In other words, you are getting more help for the same amount of money!
When you click through to read the digital issue, you will see in the Editor's Note stating that sharing this magazine far and wide is highly encouraged.

I have also reposted the landing page information below. Most libraries already have a subscription, bu,m you at the desk may not know how to access everything. See below or click here for contact information on how to fix that.
