    Hi Jennifer!

    I have been wanting to read the ACOTAR series for such a long time now. I think I have had A Court of Thorns and Roses sitting on my shelf since I was 15. I know that there is so much hype around the series, so I am wondering what your own personal opinion is on the books?

    Also, I did my annotation over Divine Rivals! I was going to put ACOTAR as a similar novel, but I ended up going with other novels. I really enjoyed Divine Rivals, so I am only assuming that I would love this series as well.

  My neighbor Jolene hosts a monthly book club meeting for the ladies in our neighborhood.

I asked her why she chose an old book from the late nineties. Jolene explained that the group loved mysteries. Also, this book series was made into a tv show on Prime +.

Jolene began the meeting by asking if everyone had finished the book. Everyone nodded in a...

  Do Celebrity Book Clubs Help or Hurt the Public Library?                 How popular are celebrity book club books in the public library? Jessica Hilburn a librarian in rural Pennsylvania had the same burning question. She has a small purchase budget for new materials. She has struggled between demand driven acquisition or more intellectual quality material. Should she spend her meager budget on celebrity book club books? She decided the best way to make this difficult decision is to survey her fellow librarians. She created a survey that focused on whether the librarian’s main acquisition for fiction were celebrity book club books. Twenty-four librarians responded and the answer was surprising. Only half paid any attention to popular culture and celebrity book clubs. The other half that did focus on celebrities, Reese Witherspoon was the clear winner in popularity. Jenna Bush was second and poor Oprah w...

  An Innovative Way to Promote Romance Books at the Public Library   Dear Manager, I was scrolling through Pinterest and came across two librarians display to promote romance books. With your permission, I would like to create displays similar to these. Hartman’s display is for the patrons who may not have a significant other at the moment. While Kinkley’s display is fun and intriguing. I have left over plain red wrapping paper from the Christmas display that I could use to wrap the books. Thanks for your input, Jennifer Miller   Ideas Courtesy of: Natalie Hartman https://www.pinterest.com/pin/love-gone-wrong--426012446004574028/   Ruth Toht Kinkley https://www.pinterest.com/pin/library-end-cap-blind-date--2251868555824396/
