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!

reading social change

 

The next Reader's Advisory Roundtable meeting will be on Wednesday June 8, 2022 at 9am and the topic up for discussion is social justice.  This is not meant to represent itself as a comprehensive list of resources, but rather a jumping off spot for your own research. There will be overlap among these lists and lists of lists.  I look forward to seeing you on June 8th and learning more!
