What do you say when someone asks you for a good read? A practical course to get you more comfortable with starting book conversations and more confident in making reading suggestions. You don’t have to be a big reader yourself, or have lots of book knowledge; it’s all about learning to listen and using your patrons as a creative resource.
After taking this course, I am now equipped with more conversational tools so that I don’t feel like I have to know about all the books in the library.

Even though I have always talked with readers and encouraged them to tell me about their reading journey, I now have an arsenal of new questions to ask that I hadn’t thought of myself. Also I look at the way we display books differently now.

Talking with readers made easy worked well for me. Being able to log on when time allowed was very useful. I am keen to revise the course once our restructure has taken place and share ideas from it with the team. I look forward to signing up for future Opening the Book courses.
