Audio Readers' Advisory Workshop

LISTENING ADVISORY! WHAT'S THAT AND ARE YOUR EARS BURNING?

A Readers' Advisory Training workshop with special guest presenter Kelly Fann

Listening to a book is a different kind of experience 

from reading a book and advising customers in 

finding that next good audiobook requires different 

techniques. The St. Charles City-County Library 

District Reader's Advisory Training program is hosting 

an audio readers' advisory workshop for all library staff. 

The workshop will be presented by special guest speaker Kelly Fann from Tanganoxie Public Library, Kansas. Kelly will give advising tips and tricks, discuss appeal factors and trends, provide external resources, and review marketing and packaging techniques. Hot titles, mid-list titles, and key narrators will also be explored.

Presenter: Kelly Fann is the Director of the Tonganoxie Public Library in Tonganoxie, Kansas. She is a regular workshop presenter on readers' advisory practices, trends, and topics--her specialty being the horror genre and the incorporation of digital mediums for enhancing and invigorating library readers' advisory services. Kelly is also a reviewer for AudioFile magazine. Glued to the Internet, her iPhone, video games and audio books she is constantly seeking out new avenues and methods for finding the ultimate readers' services guides.

The Listening Advisory workshop will be held at the Spencer Road Branch in the Community Commons, Room 240. There will be two presentations of the workshop in order to try and accommodate as many attendees as possible.
