Fifteen American library professionals contribute 22 chapters to a practical resource for all levels of public and school library staff who are looking for cost-effective, accessible ways to create, revitalize, or expand their services to readers. Coverage includes gaining familiarity with the collections that are the foundation for readers' advisory, such as fiction, nonfiction, audiobooks, and graphic novels; writing reviews and annotations for fiction and nonfiction, audiobooks, graphic novels, and reference materials; creating booklists, bookmarks, displays, themed booklists, read-alikes, and book group kits to market, promote, and share the library's materials; programming considerations, such as book groups, author events, and storytelling programs for adults; and other unique situations and approaches--readers' advisory by proxy, and readers' advisory for older adults and for incarcerated populations.
