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!

author Michael Morris

This came through the staff email this afternoon:

The Hoover Public Library has just had a very successful book group with
Michael Morris new book, Man in the Blue Moon.  He came to the library and
we engaged with him for over an hour about this book, his previous books,
and about his writing life.  He's a great speaker.  He wanted me to let
other library's know that he'd be willing to go to any of the branch
libraries for a book talk if you wanted him to come.  (He's local so it's
convenient for him.)

You can contact him at the following email address: wiregrass@earthlink.net.

Thanks,
Shannon
Hoover Public Library
