order to effectively match up a reader with just the right book, it's helpful to
understand how to apply the concept of “doorways” in suggesting reading
material. This session will focus on defining, identifying, and using
doorways in RA situations. We'll also discuss how mood and motivation
affects whether or not a reader will enjoy a particular book. Finally, Nancy
will be offering tips on how to grow your knowledge of books and how to conquer
“desk paralysis.”</span></font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Calibri"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> In
the afternoon, discover booktalking! Everywhere we go we have the
opportunity to share our love for good books to read. Learn how to booktalk with
your library users, whether it's a presentation for a community group or talking
one on one to an individual in the library stacks. Or outside the library,
while you're working out at the gym, talking to family members on the phone,
waiting in the grocery line, or having lunch with friends. In this
workshop we’ll discuss the elements of good booktalks; how to structure a
booktalk; and what’s important to include (and not include).
