Romance Readers Advisory: The Greatest Love Story Ever Told

To register for this webinar please follow this link: https://zoom.us/webinar/register/6817519891720/WN_ZB67sYy3SBCkbkg2uZcnaw. Sessions are free and available only to members of the Michigan library community. Registrants will receive instructions and a link to attend the session directly from PCI after they register.

Readers love Romance, but with all the different sub-genres and tropes, it can be hard to keep up! Join us for a one-hour webinar to get the skinny on all things Romance RA. We’ll talk about how to talk about Romance from across the desk (door closed, open or cracked?) and how to craft the most effective search to find your patrons the book of their dreams!

We’ll also discuss the language we use surrounding the content of romance novels (including spice levels), read-a-likes for popular authors, and if you can really judge a romance novel by its cover!

Who will benefit from this program

PCI Webinars are recorded and available to members of the Michigan library community in the Library of Michigan's Niche Staff Skills Academy about a week after they air. New webinars will be in the New category for several weeks. You do not need to register for a webinar in order to view it later in the Staff Skills Academy.

This project is made possible by grant funds from the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) administered by the State of Michigan through the Library of Michigan.
