The Undercover Reader
This week's mission was to go to a branch that I would know the least amount of librarians. I have worked in my library system for eight years so that was a bit of a challenge but I was able to find one in the end.
We were asked to see a librarian for a book recommendation and give an account of the experience. Thankfully, I found it be very pleasant and I got a good audiobook recommendation as well! It is about Maria Feodorovna titled The Romanov Empress by C.W. Gortner and narrated by Katharine McEwan. The method the librarian used may not be textbook Reader's Advisory but boy did it work!
The book was chosen ultimately by randomly stopping at point of the list because there were so many books that could see myself enjoying. But don't fear, the rest of the books from the list have been added to my GoodReads "To Be Read Later" shelf.

Hi Sabrina,
ReplyDeleteHow great that you found a ton of options! Did you go in specifically asking about audio books? And was it through an app or did you have to download the titles to your computer/ipad? I'm just curious because I've only had a few audio/e-book RA interactions and I think its just as important in today's library to be prepared for anything.
I went in looking for physical books but I mentioned that I would rather have it in audio. And Libby is an app that my library has that offers e-books and e-audiobooks with your library card.
DeleteExcellent summary!
