The first story, “The Wish,” brilliantly sets the uneasy tone for the entire collection, a tale of a birthday wish with horrific consequences. Fracassi goes on to utilize his remarkable imagination and stunning range to invoke fear in speculative, thought provoking, stories that explore topics such as AI, alien life, Hollywood, a bestselling book, a haunted house as the narrator of its own killing spree, and so much more. However, it is how each story works in tandem– crafting a unique and captivating world, hooking readers immediately, holding their undivided attention, and resolving in a satisfying way that also begs them to turn the page and read just one more– that is most remarkable here. A must read from cover-to-cover for all Horror fans, especially those who enjoy the immersive, original story telling found in collections such as <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/5494380680" target="_blank">Spin A Black Yarn</a> by Malerman or <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4912165346" target="_blank">Breakable Things</a> by Khaw. </span></p></blockquote><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-family: inherit; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>Three Words That Describe This Book</b>: intensely unsettling, captivating, original</span></p><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-family: inherit; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>Further Appeal: </b> Other words in contention for "3 words"-- creepy, immersive, character centered.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-family: inherit; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">There are too many stories here that I LOVED and all for different reasons.

The idea was to promote our books, both were in process at that time. We had booked Romance author <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/7025918.Sonali_Dev" target="_blank">Sonali Dev</a> and Horror author <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/4088550.Silvia_Moreno_Garcia" target="_blank">Silvia Moreno-Garcia</a> (on the day <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/53152636-mexican-gothic?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=g3vPsXf3jc&rank=1" target="_blank">Mexican Gothic </a>was being released!) to join us for a conversation about the appeal of these genres and why we all love them.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white;">Well, I don't need to tell you that the 2020 ALA Annual was cancelled. </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white;">Since then, both of our books in the Readers' Advisory Guide to...series have come out, and Robin and I have given more presentations together than I have time to count, but this dream to do Swoons & Screams, to have a shared presentation about Romance and Horror, that dream had been left </span>unfulfilled. Until today!</p><p>And while we don't have the authors this time, we do have School Librarian Alex Brown to join us and talk about how to serve the teen readers for these uber popular genres, and they are one of the best teen librarians out there right now. </p><p>Everything in this program is about serving your readers of these two genres-- from teens to adults. It is from the top experts...us. And, see <a href="https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1jqDhWfFyP3pwKnF2SK3NDaFT2kN3xBZRvMLAYS4VkV8/edit?usp=sharing" target="_blank">slide 3</a> or below for a 10% off coupon on Robin and my books to get even more detailed help.

The book came out in February. The day after its release, she went on Amazon to see how it was doing. "Right below the cover of my book was another cover," Arana says.

The book says it was written by Clara Bailey. A review of Bailey's work showed that Bailey had published a number of these so-called summaries and put them up for sale on Amazon. NPR asked an Amazon spokesperson about Bailey but did not receive a related response. And the company did not offer anyone up for an interview when asked, generally, about AI-generated books. Since NPR's inquiry, Bailey's books have been removed from Amazon. Bailey's publishing history still appears on <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/list/34072757.Clara_Bailey" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #5076b8; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size-adjust: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Goodreads</a>.</span></p></blockquote><p>Again, there is more information and depth <a href="https://www.npr.org/2024/03/13/1237888126/growing-number-ai-scam-books-amazon" target="_blank">in the full piece</a>. </p><p>Okay, Becky, many of you may be thinking, that's fine but we buy almost all of our books from Ingram, Baker and Taylor, or from the publishers directly. Yes, I know that, but we need to be aware for a few reasons:</p><p></p><ol style="text-align: left;"><li>For the times we do go directly to Amazon to buy things that we can only get there (especially print on demand of self-published, popular titles), we need to be extra careful that what we are buying is the actual book, by the real author of that book. If we cannot do that, what are we being paid for.</li><li>We know that library patrons are the most likely people to buy books for themselves. Many of them are voracious readers and use Amazon for their ebooks (especially) and sometimes, print. They will not be as aware of this issue. It is our responsibility as information professionals and advisory librarians to make sure they know this is going on and help them navigate their reading options. It is the same as teaching kids to identify misinformation. I would post <a href="https://www.npr.org/2024/03/13/1237888126/growing-number-ai-scam-books-amazon" target="_blank">this article</a> on your website and social media, make sure it shows up in places where your readers are in your building as well. Maybe a sign at the circulation desk or near the "New" books shelves. Just a note like "Buyer Beware: There Are a Growing Number of AI Scam Books. Ask at the desk for more info." Or add a QR code so they can self-service their way to the article. </li><li>And this one is the most important. I don't think this issue is going to stay confined to scammers acting alone on Amazon. We need to stay vigilant and aware because at some point, not too far in the future, I could see AI books creeping onto our trusted platforms and sneaking into our collections. Staying up to date for ourselves and making sure we help our users know about it, is paramount.</li></ol><p></p><p style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; float: none; font-family: NPRSerif, serif; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size-adjust: inherit; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; letter-spacing: 0.36px; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px auto 1.176471em; max-width: 680px; padding: 0px 15px; position: static; vertical-align: baseline; width: auto;"></p>Beckyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01085260877904727608noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-522319810296642659.post-5258309379562274392024-03-12T07:00:00.001-05:002024-03-12T07:00:00.341-05:00Using Awards Lists As a RA Tool: International Booker Prize Longlist Edition<b style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 51);"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><blockquote>This is part of my ongoing series on using Awards Lists as a RA tool. <a href="https://raforall.blogspot.com/search?q=using+awards+lists&max-results=20&by-date=true" style="text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Click here for all posts in the series</a> in reverse chronological order. <a href="https://raforall.blogspot.com/2011/10/using-award-lists-as-ra-tool.html" style="text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Click here for the first post which outlines the details how to use awards lists as a RA tool.</a> </blockquote></span></b><span><p style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><br /></span></span></p><p style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="https://thebookerprizes.com/the-booker-library/prize-years/international/2024" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1200" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdnAgriq1hM_UCisVCRw2_Hnzpm6kcRaHu6QjAhFwzfO5CQqA9ObAHzu83WKPcMTmaYZON25W7TkJcZhyphenhyphenMU4yoj3teBNcPptKNFgsn1QIlHLziA4jBVqpexQoknR0o5wBo7ML8O3HodoXhv1mmJgovt8x7PhdmSO8dNfGlQVrUGNOFy9jCwnqWPX8ctEUV/s320/Group%20Top%20down%202_1x1_WIDER%20slice.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><br /></span></span><p></p><p style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">The<a href="https://thebookerprizes.com/the-booker-library/prize-years/international/2024" target="_blank"> International Booker Prize</a> is one of the best </span></span><span style="caret-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">resources</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"> we have to </span></span><span style="caret-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">sort</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"> through the best books in translation for </span></span><span style="caret-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">English</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"> speaking audiences.

I talk about this in my training programs, but using "multicultural" to designate any book that isn't about white, westerners, is not okay anymore. It is a mistake I made for many years myself. Most of these books are only about ONE culture but we-- white centered society-- use the term to other books by people of color.</div><div><br /></div><div>Similarly, they also call out LGTBQ+ as a category. Interestingly, I have seen books like <a href="https://www.forewordreviews.com/awards/finalists/2023/fantasy/" target="_blank">Merry Dredgers </a>(which I reviewed <a href="https://raforall.blogspot.com/2023/03/what-im-reading-merry-dredgers.html" target="_blank">here</a>) by a nonbinary author showing up in "Fantasy" and not LGBTQ+, so I cannot accuse them of only including straight people in their lists. Also, I could see why you might have LGBTQ+ as a nonfiction category, but in fiction it is an odd choice. I hope both of these outdated, albeit well-meaning, ways of making sure you have a diverse list, are abandoned in the future. At least I found people of color and LGBTQ+ folks being included in just about every finalist list. </div><div><br /></div><div>Finally, back to <a href="https://www.forewordreviews.com/awards/finalists/2023/fantasy/" target="_blank">Merry Dredgers</a>. It is a Horror novel, but it is nominated in <a href="https://www.forewordreviews.com/awards/finalists/2023/fantasy/" target="_blank">Fantasy</a>. (I reviewed it in Booklist <a href="https://raforall.blogspot.com/2023/03/what-im-reading-merry-dredgers.html" target="_blank">here</a>.) Why? Because despite the fact that indie Horror is kicking ass and selling in huge numbers, <i>Forward</i> is not giving it a category. Again, if they only had a few fiction categories, I would let it slide, but there are 14 fiction lists! And if Horror did not have a vibrant indie publishing scene, I would also be okay with this, but it does. Exhibit 1: <a href="https://booklife.com/about-us/the-booklife-prize-winners.html" target="_blank">Christopher Hawkins won the BookLife Prize for General Fiction</a>, for the best self published fiction book of the year....in any genre...and it is 100% Horror.

Each Finalist represents a significant contribution to the literary landscape and underscores the crucial role that independent authors and publishers play, ensuring a steady flow of diverse and thought-provoking content. The INDIES not only honors outstanding literary achievements but also helps to qualify and connect these exceptional books with librarians and booksellers alike,” said Christopher Nesbit, INDIES Award Director.</span></p><p style="caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; line-height: 1.7;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“Part of the INDIES joy for me is rediscovering so many fantastic books that didn’t get the attention they deserved when first released or were too quickly forgotten.

Lena Khidritskaya Little, director of publicity at Little, Brown, makes a clear case: “Readers want pure and immersive escape, and they’re willing to sample and mix among genres like horror, noir, [and] sci-fi, as well as fresh spins on normally traditional forms like locked-room or chase or heist narratives.” To track down the clues of 2024, </span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><em style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; white-space: break-spaces;">LJ </em><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; white-space: break-spaces;">talked with publishers about what they are noting, scanned through catalogues, and dove into the books.

In 2017, Adam Morgan, of the Chicago Review of Books, <a href="https://chireviewofbooks.com/2017/01/24/oscar-winners-based-on-books/" target="_blank">analyzed all Best Picture winners </a>and found that adapted screenplays win slightly more than not. I learned all of this in the intro of Ryan Coleman's "<a href=" https://lithub.com/your-literary-guide-to-the-2024-oscars/ " target="_blank">Your Literary Guide to the 2024 Oscars</a>" on LitHub. </p><p>Coleman then goes on to analyze each of the 5 adapted film, compares them to the source material, and also to the 5 original screen plays. He looks at all of them through a literary lens. It is a fascinating read for any one who follows the book into movie debate, which is everyone who works in a public library here in America right now.</p><p>You should take a look <a href=" https://lithub.com/your-literary-guide-to-the-2024-oscars/ " target="_blank">at this article</a> as the Oscars are upon us, this Sunday. Pair it with my post entitled, "<a href="http://raforall.blogspot.com/2024/01/oscar-themed-reading-lists-and-display.html" target="_blank">Oscar Themed Reading Lists and Display Ideas But Make It Interactive</a>" and get up some kind of merchandising of your collection around this big cultural event-- list, display, online content, something-- today! </p><p>And, leave it up for at least a few days after the Oscars because while the event is on Sunday, the water cooler conversation around it will linger for at least a week, if not longer.</p>Beckyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01085260877904727608noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-522319810296642659.post-3826599101110779442024-03-05T07:00:00.008-06:002024-03-05T07:00:00.132-06:00The Summer Scares 2024 Programming Guide is ALIVE!<p> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CBI3U-Kt9_de7S5SsXb1UgF1ExJE2MeZ/view?usp=share_link" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1452" data-original-width="1126" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLrGkR1KfjRKEPNknh91Enwfj0vJpmJQrZLaLDTVEkDy4g0M8QS3BYQo6Zk3IsAcrfrtQLZVWHE59xXLlBQ_1NRc0WIAQ4c5ewW_mA0dUfXq-KEC4HV4G7zjkL0_dJpR7nVW4sDnkO7Ez9sVbatfkQBZgKhmsbmR2dwg6cBD4rZp83Hxs2w1x2QX3S5Bto/w310-h400/Screenshot%202024-03-04%20at%209.23.33%E2%80%AFAM.png" width="310" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CBI3U-Kt9_de7S5SsXb1UgF1ExJE2MeZ/view?usp=share_link" target="_blank">Click here to access the full guide</a></td></tr></tbody></table><br /></p><p>One of the best parts of the Summer Scares program is the annual <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CBI3U-Kt9_de7S5SsXb1UgF1ExJE2MeZ/view?usp=share_link" target="_blank">Programming Guide</a> created by Konrad Stump and his team at the <a href="https://thelibrary.org" target="_blank">Springfield-Greene County Library District</a> in Springfield, Missouri.</p><p>Starting yesterday, you can access <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CBI3U-Kt9_de7S5SsXb1UgF1ExJE2MeZ/view?usp=share_link" target="_blank">this guide</a> for Free.

This series of workshops, presented by Booklist, is designed to keep you up to speed on both the ideas and practice that will enhance your RA game. Learn from experts in the field about how genres relate to each other, how to talk to patrons about their leisure reading, and how to write an effective book annotation. Participants should have an understanding of the basic readers’ advisory concepts of appeal elements (character, pace, storyline, tone, and writing style).</span> </div></blockquote><blockquote><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3a3a3a; font-variant-ligatures: normal; margin: 0px 0px 1rem; orphans: 2; padding: 0px; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-thickness: initial; widows: 2;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">In “The Readers’ Advisory Conversation,” librarians Michelle Morris and Sheila Michaels will present a workshop on the RA conversation, offering practical tips and instructions on how to get the most out of your interactions with patrons.

Noemi, 38, is starting to see a future for herself when her boyfriend is unexpectedly killed. Louie, the uncle who helped to raise her, until the age of 5, returns for the annual Pow-Wow just as Noemi is receiving the terrible news, returning him to the summer of 1986 when a series of deaths led to the unraveling of his life. Told from both Louie and Noemi’s point of view, the story moves fluidly between past and present, enhancing the unease and layering the dread allowing readers to feel the reverberations of both horrible secrets and reservation life over time. However, despite the pain and fear, ultimately, there is a celebration of life at the novel's core.

No one is surprised however, because here ghosts are not only real, but they are linked to a living adult relative, destined to die as a payment for that ancestor's misdeeds. Dave loves his girlfriend, Jessica, but has put off a career in botany for her. And unlike Jessica, who got answers from visits to her ancestor’s graves, Dave is struggling because he has no idea what fate awaits him. The effortless world building, buoyed by Dave’s confident narration, immediately immerses readers in the intense unease, carrying them to its emotional conclusion. A character-centered and thought provoking tale that is as much about embracing life as it is about death, this title will appeal to fans of <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/73450.Elizabeth_McCracken?from_search=true&from_srp=true" target="_blank">Elizabeth McCracken</a> and <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/1221698.Neil_Gaiman?from_search=true&from_srp=true" target="_blank">Neil Gaiman</a> as well as grief horror like <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/56269269-this-thing-between-us?from_search=true&from_srp=true&qid=r0Hz6pZqhR&rank=1" target="_blank">This Thing Between Us</a> by Moreno and <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/60095973-ghost-eaters?from_search=true&from_srp=true&qid=TPzO8HMb0O&rank=1" target="_blank">Ghost Eaters </a>by Chapman.</blockquote></span><p></p><b style="font-family: inherit;">Further Appeal: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">This is a great story. Dave will hook people immediately and guide them through this </span>compelling<span style="font-family: inherit;"> plot with stellar world building. It is hard to build a convincing setting that is similar to our </span>world and yet slightly askew, but Farrenkopf pulls it off perfectly.</div><div><span><br /></span></div><div><span>The entire book is also about those years in your life, after college, that time when you are figuring out what your adult life is going to look like. It is the anxiety and uncertainty explored in a depth you don't often see. The idea that the world in this novel is a place where you can learn how you are going to die and when, adds to the anxiety of that time without trivializing it. It serves to heighten the unease.</span></div><div><span><br /></span></div><div><p dir="ltr" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This book is truly immersive. I believed this world was possible while reading it. It is also character centered. These two appeals make it seem like the book would be more methodically paced, but it is not.

First executed in 2015 and then in 2019, the Diversity Baseline Survey has become an industry standard, providing a way to track whether publishing’s inclusive hiring practices are working. See data from the previous studies—<a href="https://blog.leeandlow.com/2020/01/28/2019diversitybaselinesurvey/" rel="noreferrer noopener" style="border: 0px; color: #eb6400; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">2019</a> and <a href="https://blog.leeandlow.com/2016/01/26/where-is-the-diversity-in-publishing-the-2015-diversity-baseline-survey-results/" rel="noreferrer noopener" style="border: 0px; color: #eb6400; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">2015</a>—for comparison.</span></p><p style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Employers are routinely vociferous about their commitment to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion (DEI) initiatives without implementing the transparent means to monitor results. We know institutional change takes time to bear fruit, which is why revisiting the survey every few years is so vital.</span></p><h6 style="border: 0px; clear: both; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin: 36px 0px 12px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">WHY DOES DIVERSITY IN PUBLISHING MATTER?</span></h6><p style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">People from all backgrounds are demanding to see themselves in media. Thanks to the <a href="https://ccbc.education.wisc.edu/literature-resources/ccbc-diversity-statistics/" rel="noreferrer noopener" style="border: 0px; color: #eb6400; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">Cooperative Children’s Book Center at the University of Wisconsin-Madison</a>, we know there are more diverse children’s and young adult books being published today. We also know the book industry’s power as a form of cultural expression and as a tastemaker. Television, film, and theater are influenced by publishing trends and successes. It has been heartening to see diverse casting reflected in the many book-to-screen adaptations—irrevocably altering who is seen and heard.</span></p><p style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">It’s imperative the publishing workforce continues to reflect the many lived experiences in North America. As gatekeepers, we decide what stories get published, which creators get the extra sales or marketing push, and which books get reviewed. Our industry greatly benefits from a diverse workforce to shape the voices and characters that will appeal to a wide audience.</span></p><p style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">While the 2023 Diversity Baseline Survey results still indicate a majority workforce of straight, nondisabled, White women, there are noticeable percentage changes across various categories. For example, when the DBS was first administered in 2015, 79% of the respondents identified as White. In 2023, 72.5% identified as White. This marked improvement shows that the publishing industry is becoming more inclusive, albeit incrementally so.</span></p><h6 style="border: 0px; clear: both; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin: 36px 0px 12px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">THE LAST FOUR YEARS</span></h6><p style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">To say a lot has happened since 2019, when the last DBS results were released, is an understatement. In the US, the political climate feels increasingly polarized as we fight to preserve our democracy.

See the Cookbook category, a huge library circulation winner, and all the genre categories. (The only thing I am not a fan of is "Best Diverse Book.") We don't have another award this specific to our readers. This would be a great award list to display in every format that you own the titles in as a way to highlight these sure bet options and your prepaid (<a href="https://raforall.blogspot.com/2019/02/call-to-action-stop-spreading-fake-news.html" target="_blank">not free</a>) ebook and downloadable audio options. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">See the full announcement <a href="https://raforall.blogspot.com/2019/02/call-to-action-stop-spreading-fake-news.html" target="_blank">here</a> and below.</span></p><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><span style="clear: left;

Each category has a jury made up of all levels of HWA members, each jury has a chair and an alt chair, and all members have a portal to recommend titles. It is a hybrid nomination process ensuring a diverse (in every way) mix of options on the ballot. Only Lifetime and Active members can vote but everyone has a say up to the vote.</span></p><p><span style="color: #111111;">Also jurors are limited to 2 years on a jury before they have to cycle off and either stop or go to another category, meaning, the categories don't get stuck in a rut. I just finished my second year as Jury Chair for Middle Grade and am very happy with our 5 finalists. I am awaiting my assignment for next year; it is still a mystery but I have been notified it is coming soon.</span></p><p><span style="color: #111111;">Sadie Hartmann-- a nominee in Nonfiction this year herself-- <a href="https://litreactor.com/interviews/everything-you-wanted-to-know-about-how-a-work-wins-a-bram-stoker-awardr" target="_blank">had this great interview</a> with the Bram Stoker committee a few years ago where they explain the entire process, including the fact that the awards are not for BEST books, but rather award for SUPERIOR ACHIEVEMENT. I love that distinction as well.

Each book résumé summarizes the book’s significance and educational value, including a synopsis, reviews from professional journals, awards, accolades, and more. Where possible, the book résumés also include information about how a title has been successfully retained in school districts and libraries after a demand to censor the book. These documents are in a PDF format that can be downloaded and printed for easy sharing with administrators, book review committees, and the public at board meetings.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />“Unite Against Book Bans partners recognized a need for easy-to-access free resources for the many librarians, educators, and community advocates, who are working so hard to ensure that readers can always access an inclusive, diverse collection of books,” said Deborah Caldwell-Stone, American Library Association (ALA) Director of the Office for Intellectual Freedom. “The work they’re doing — defending the freedom to read — is difficult and hard, and we want to make the task of gathering the information needed to do that easier. We want to thank the publishers, library workers, and volunteers whose investment of time and talent made the creation of this important resource possible.”</span></p><p style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size-adjust: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin: 1rem 0rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Unite Against Book Bans and the publishing community will make hundreds of book résumés available upon launch on Tuesday, February 20, with more to follow in time for <a data-feathr-click-track="true" data-feathr-link-aids="604267263e520ca59416d0a9" href="https://www.ala.org/conferencesevents/celebrationweeks/natlibraryweek" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size-adjust: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">National Library Week</a> (April 7–13, 2024).

For example, one of the trends is the fact that Romance is being accepted on its own feet as a legitimate genre to be considered alongside more literary titles. Their example is that the first Romance novel landed on the Canada Reads list.</p><p>This is something I have noted in all genre fiction, and in fact, have included this observation in a few recent presentations. </p><p><a href="https://www.cbc.ca/books/how-social-media-is-influencing-the-romance-novel-genre-and-wider-trends-in-fiction-1.7115076" target="_blank">Click here to read the full article</a>.

It is also a very popular day for libraries to have their Staff Development Day. However, I am also seeing that the ability for libraries to close for an entire day of </span>training is more limited now than anytime in the last 20 years. And, even if they do have a staff day, it is filled with state or local required safety training or used to get the staff trained on new procedures, tech, or databases.</p><p>The window to offer targeted training that will enhance patron service to larger groups of library workers, is rapidly shrinking. However, I am happy to report that at least for RA service, there is an option other than me to train your staff and it can be the same training, for all staff, on their time frame, with the option for Live interaction as well. And it is through a subscription to the Learn With NoveList Continuing Education database and their slate of courses.</p><p>[To be clear, I still do in-person and virtually training and have a very popular 3-4 month option for libraries to offer virtual RA training with exercises to be done in between. <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/16R0ozpi_lkhAw-jWqpmJO0M65e4fkhwMEDLGmBDdW64/edit" target="_blank">Click here</a> for more information on <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/16R0ozpi_lkhAw-jWqpmJO0M65e4fkhwMEDLGmBDdW64/edit" target="_blank">my most popular programs</a> and <a href="http://raforall.blogspot.com/p/wapl-presentation.html" target="_blank">here</a> to see my <a href="http://raforall.blogspot.com/p/wapl-presentation.html" target="_blank">recent and upcoming schedule</a>. But my time is limited and this is a database that can be access 24/7.]</p><p>NoveList offers multiple options for staff training. <a href="https://learnwithnovelist.talentlms.com/find-a-format" target="_blank">Click here to see them all</a>, but today I want to specifically talk about a new, responsive, and cost effective way to offer staff training through <a href="https://www.ebsco.com/blogs/novelist/staff-training-made-easy" target="_blank">Learn With Novelist</a></p><p>Many of you know that I have begun offering some training via the <a href="https://learnwithnovelist.talentlms.com/find-a-training" target="_blank">Learn With NoveList platform</a>. But before, you could only pay for and then access a single class at a time. Now, they are offering a subscription model, with pricing based on your population. When you buy access to the <a href="https://learnwithnovelist.talentlms.com/find-a-format" target="_blank">Learn With NoveList</a> platform through the subscription for your entire library, you have access to the Actively Anti-Racist Service to Readers Class Robin and I offer, as well as all of the Genre Crash Courses, other targeted RA training classes, and more, with new classes being added all of the time. In other words, you now have a full suite of on-demand and responsive RA training. <a href="https://learnwithnovelist.talentlms.com/find-a-training" target="_blank">Full details on all classes are here</a>. </p><p>With a subscription, you can replicate a larger staff day model of group learning by assigning a class to your staff to watch when they have time (on work time please) and then set up time to discuss all together and even attend live sessions. You can also help staff with their skills and learning by assigning specific classes to certain staff. All of the classes have activities for the individual learners, and some, <a href="https://learnwithnovelist.talentlms.com/catalog/info/id:227,cms_featured_course:1" target="_blank">like Robin's and my class</a> offer shared communication spaces where learners have an entire year to work together, share experiences, and even ask us questions.</p><p>But here is the part I am MOST excited about. When you buy a subscription, anyone on that library's staff can access the RA training.</p><p>Many of you know that I call my company RA for All because I believe that every staff member has a part to play in your service to readers. Yes, some parts are smaller than others, but all library staff have a connection to books and reading, or else they would work somewhere else for more money. One of the advantages to having me come to do the morning of an all staff development day is that I can speak to all staff, from maintenance staff to Director, at one time, and explain how everyone can be involved in your service to readers.</p><p>[Side note: I have a story many have heard, about the library where a janitor became their best book talker. Well, now I just heard from another library that after I visited their entire staff (after a few years of targeted training to adult staff), they now have a maintenance person as part of their service to readers.]</p><p>And now, it all circles back to the beginning. With less time available for people to have me do an entire morning on RA for all staff, the progress I have been making to encourage libraries to include all staff in their service to leisure reader is slowing down. I hear from library workers all of the time that they want to have me train their whole library, but they literally do not have the time to get everyone together, even for virtual.</p><p>Enter the <a href="https://learnwithnovelist.talentlms.com/find-a-format" target="_blank">Learn With NoveList RA Staff Subscription</a>. You can now offer RA training to anyone on staff, at any time, with one login. Since you are paying for a whole library subscription, it shouldn't be hard to convince other departments to allow staff to access it during work time, especially if you frame it as a return on investment-- both in terms of dollars and in serving leisure readers. And if they tell you leaguer readers are too small a portion of your services, have them check the circulation stats. I haven't seen a library yet where books are not the highest circulating item. Add in digital materials and....well you get the point.

I wanted to be open-minded about the day, but I was a bit apprehensive. <div><br /></div><div>One of my best “work buddies” was part of the team that spent the past six months planning and decision-making that went into this day. Before she shared this experience with me, I had no idea how long it took to organize this training. Most of the sessions I was required to attend had nothing to do with my job. I couldn’t help but wonder if there was a more efficient way to deliver ongoing, continuous staff training on a flexible schedule with sessions that improved our job skills.</div><div><br /></div>Arranging staff training shouldn’t be that hard or stressful. My NoveList co-workers and I have been thinking about this issue a lot (maybe obsessively!). We have been working on a solution that would make it easy for libraries to provide expert training on the core skills that library staff need: Working with readers, promoting the library, practicing inclusivity, and providing outstanding service. That sounds like a tall order, but I’m delighted to announce the launch of a<b> staff access subscription</b> option to <a href="https://learnwithnovelist.talentlms.com/index" target="_blank">Learn with NoveList</a>.<div><br /></div><div>The staff access subscription includes more than 20 courses totaling 45 hours of learning (and counting!), with new courses added every quarter. Experts in the field teach all of the lessons. And it solves the three big problems that libraries have told us they face when it comes to staff training:</div><div><br /><b>“We have a lot of staff turnover, resulting in frequent new hires who need training.”</b></div><div><br /></div><div>Staff access subscription provides training for the library’s entire staff. You can add new users at any time during your subscription period. The subscription is also a benefit your library can highlight when recruiting new employees. It shows your commitment to continuing education.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>“We want all our staff members to be able to provide outstanding service to readers.” </b></div><div><br /></div><div> Learn with NoveList courses are designed for all library staff, regardless of their position, education, or previous experience. They emphasize that outstanding service to readers creates happy, loyal, and engaged patrons.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>“It’s hard for our staff to get together all at once to attend a training session."</b></div><div><br /></div>Staff access subscription includes flexible scheduling. There are self-paced courses that staff can take on their schedule. There are also combo courses, which have several self-paced modules and a live session. And those live sessions are offered on various days and times so staff can choose one that fits into their work schedule.<div><br /></div>What I love most about this new offering is that it makes the valuable Learn with NoveList training accessible to libraries of all sizes. Here’s what two Learn with NoveList customers had to say about their experience with the training.
<div><br /></div><blockquote>"Learn with Novelist training changed how the library staff performs their everyday job. Not only did we learn how to engage patrons in conversation about books, but we also learned ways to enhance our service by recommending books that patrons may not know about." </blockquote><blockquote><div>--Paula Smith
Circulation Supervisor
Knox County Public Library</div></blockquote><div></div><blockquote>"Our California library learners had overwhelmingly positive feedback for (Learn with) NoveList learning opportunities. Participants felt overall that the training provided tangible tools for increasing accessibility and incorporating DEI principles into library communication, programs, and services. They appreciated the high-quality, engaging presentations, presenters' expertise, timeliness of the topics offered, and excellent resources for follow-up." </blockquote><blockquote>--Tamar Kirschner
Senior Project Coordinator
California Library Association</blockquote>The Learn with NoveList team is so proud to offer libraries this new solution. Arranging staff training on a large scale is hard! We’re here to help.<div><br /></div><div>Want to learn more about the Learn with NoveList staff access subscription?</div><div><br /></div><div><a class="edl-btn secondary-cta field field--name-field-cta-link field--type-link field--label-above field__item" href="https://www.ebsco.com/novelist/request-information" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="align-items: center; background-color: #e47708; border-radius: 5px; border: medium; box-shadow: rgba(39, 41, 42, 0.25) 0px 2px 2px 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: white; display: inline-flex; font-family: "Open Sans", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600; min-height: 40px; padding: 0px 20px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; transition: 300ms ease-in-out;" target="_blank"><span class="btn-text" style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 19px; margin: auto; padding: 0px; text-align: center; transition: 300ms ease-in-out;">Chat with us</span></a></div><div><br /></div><a href="https://www.ebsco.com/novelist/bio/angela-hursh" target="_blank">Angela Hursh</a> is Manager of Library Engagement, Marketing, and Professional Development.

In addition to the annual list of recommended titles, the Summer Scares Programming Guide, created each year by the Springfield-Greene County (MO) Library–and free for libraries anywhere to access, is back with the tools libraries need to connect with their patrons. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“The 2024 guide is packed with ideas that library workers can use to engage their communities with these great titles, whether they're putting up book displays, hosting author events, or planning an entire Summer Scares program series,” states Konrad Stump, co-creator of the programming guide. The guide will be available beginning March 1, 2024 on the Summer Scares Resource page at </span><a href="http://raforallhorror.blogspot.com/p/summer-scares.html" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="color: black; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">http://raforallhorror.blogspot.com/p/summer-scares.html</span></a></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Along with the guide, the Summer Scares committee will work with both the recommended list authors and Horror authors from all over the country to provide free programming to libraries.
