About the Roundtable

Jefferson County, Alabama, United States

The Jefferson County Public Library Association (JCPLA) was founded in 1974 for the improvement of librarianship and for the advancement of public libraries in Jefferson County. The public libraries of Jefferson County form our cooperative system, the Jefferson County Library Cooperative (JCLC). Membership in JCPLA provides an organizational structure for staff training countywide.

The Reader's Advisory Roundtable is open to all library workers in the JCLC Community. If you love reader's advisory, need help honing your skills, or are looking for new tools/ideas, please consider joining us. JCPLA and the Roundtables are a great way to share resources, connect with other libraries in the county, network with your colleagues, or just take a break from the daily grind and get some fresh perspective!

Fantastic Fiction

Do you know about the splendiferousness of the Fantastic Fiction website?  Visit the site to find bibliographies for over 30,000 authors and over 350,000 books!  Did I mention the chronological order of publication and series information???  No?  Well, visit and find the author you are looking for, the order in which their books were published, and any series information available.

I have found that this site works a bit better for adult authors than for those of juvenile books, but I just love it.  I was a huge fan of Novelist when it was available via the county databases and I was heartbroken when we could no longer fund it.  Fantastic Fiction doesn't have quite as many bells and whistles but it is an outstanding website!  Bookmark it at your service desks today!!!
