Reminder: Booklist Has Free Webinars-- Live and On Demand

Readers of this blog know that I am ar to the LibraryReads family. I promote their work and serve as an ambassador for the program. 

LibraryReads also works closely with Booklist, for who I am a frequent reviewer. On April 11th they have one of their semi-regular joint webinars promoting LibraryReads and pre-pub titles. Library Love of LibraryReads is Tuesday, April 11 at 2pm Central. Here is the description from the sign-up page:

Stunning debuts, moving memoirs, escapist fiction—you’ll find your next great read at our free, one-hour webinar on Tuesday, April 11 at 2 p.m. ET / 1 p.m. CT. Panelists from HarperCollins Publishers, Simon & Schuster, HTP Books, and Union Square & Company will showcase adult titles hitting the shelves this summer that are bound for success with your patrons and perfect for LibraryReads nominations!

When I got the email about this upcoming event, I realized that it has been awhile since I posted about Booklist's Webinars, and I also know that I get new followers all of the time. So....please remember that you can find all upcoming Booklist webinars here. 

But more importantly than knowing what is coming up, you can have easy and free access to every past webinar at their permanent archive link here.

I regularly schedule myself CE days. Days when I will watch at least 2, hopefully more, webinars. And Booklist's webinar archive is one of the first places I go to find my training. And look, let's be real, if I consistently learn from these webinars, you can learn something too. 

One of the reasons the Booklist webinars are so good is because they stick closely to their mission:

"Booklist webinars are free, one-hour sessions geared towards exploring forthcoming titles from the publishing industry and trends in librarianship."

This mission for their webinars aims at the heart of what we do in our libraries and for our patrons, and Booklist is there for us with regularly scheduled content. Also, they serve all ages of readers and cover audio and graphic novels, so you get the full scope of leisure reading all in one FREE place.

Consider adding them to your CE plans-- for yourself and your staff. And sign up for the LibraryReads panel while you are on the page.
