Reflection of RA convo. article
Becoming a librarian in the past month has made me realize that the Reader's Advisory conversation is really important, when interacting with patrons. As Neal Wyatt states in the article, the point is to "connect with the readers" and actively listen to what the patron says about a book they have enjoyed to find other books similar to appeal to their needs. As the weeks go by, I am becoming a better listener to the customers to give better suggestions or alternatives on material.
Reflection on Nancy Pearl
Listening to the podcast of Nancy Pearl, I noticed that she usually spends a max of 3 minutes talking about a book: the plot, the tone the author used, and her personal review and feelings on the book.
