Before I get into the details and the slides here in today’s post, I wanted to use this chance to remind all of you that many of my program can be rework for a virtual appearance. In this case, I will be presenting live via Skype and can not only do the full presentation, but also answer any questions from the group.
This type of appearance allows me to visit more libraries both because it costs less and it is more easily fit into my schedule since I only need about 3 hours of actual life time to present a 60-90 minute program-- not 1-2 days for when I provide in person training.
So, if you have an inservice day coming up and want me to provide some training, but didn’t think you could get me, consider virtual and contact me.
Now back to today’s scheduled event:
Tuesday, September 19, 2017 from 2:45-3:45pm Eastern Time.
Booktalking: Harnessing the Power of Sharing Books with Patrons: Booktalking is at the heart of what we do with patrons each and every day at the public library. Whether we are sharing books informally at the services desk, presenting a prepared list of books, or posting information online, talking about books is something we do each and every day. It is a core service, but it is also hard to teach. Booktalking is more of an art than a skill, but with the right guidance and some practice, it can go a long way toward engaging your patrons and re-energizing your staff. Join experienced Readers’ Advisory Becky Spratford as she shares the secret behind delivering great book talks, giving you tips and tricks you can begin using right away to hone your own skills. Rediscover the power and joy that comes from sharing books with patrons.
