Passive Readers Advisory is the fancy way of saying everything we do to suggest books to readers that isn't us directly handing them a book. In other words, all of our merchandising, displays, and lists.
My colleague Lila Denning not only has an entire blog entitled, "Passively Recommending Books" but she has also begun to offer presentations on how to be better at it.
I wanted to highlight her site as an excellent resource for book display ideas but also let you know about her recent and upcoming presentations in case you want to sign up. The next 2 are with PCI webinars which I know has a wide reach.
Recently, she has been compiling lists of where to go to find ideas for Book Displays from the most general to genre specific. There is a lot of great content here.
Get familiar with her site, try to catch one of her presentations, and.....here is a teaser, we are going to be planning a presentation for the 2025 conference cycle. More soon.
For now, get working on your Passive RA skills with this free resource.
And if you are at PLA, find me and you will probably find Lila. We can all chat about your service to readers be it active, passive, or, my favorite, interactive.
