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!

RA Roundtable meeting this Wednesday

Beach Reads
Fiction & Nonfiction

It doesn't feel like beach weather outside.  Even the beach is not having beach weather, but we'll be bringing the spirit of the beach to our meeting this week on Wednesday, June 13, 2012 at Emmet O'Neal Library at 9am with a discussion of beach reads!  Fiction or nonfiction, it's your choice!  If you believe some lucky beach bum would love to devour your choice of book(s), bring it in and share it with us!

Our own Mary Anne (Southern History) sent me a link to Flavorwire's "10 Highbrow Books to Read on the Beach."  Have you read any of these?  What would you add/take away from the list?

Bring your books for discussion and get ready for a great meeting!

Reader's Advisory Roundtable is geared towards adult services staff, but everyone is welcome!  For more information, email me at hwesley[at]bham[dot]lib[dot]al[dot]us or call 205-445-1117.
