The Reader\u2019s Advisory Committee was established in June 1998 with a total of fourteen members from twelve libraries. Grace O\u2019Connor started and chaired the committee from 1998 through 2014 when she retired from the West Islip Public Library then handed the reins over to me in 2015. The purpose of the committee is to provide reader\u2019s advisory assistance to fellow librarians on various genres. We meet three times a year and each meeting is dedicated to a different genre with the members providing a brief annotation as well as read-a-likes for their chosen book; those annotations are then published on the Reader\u2019s Advisory blog:\u00a0http:\/\/rasdreadersadvisory.blogspot.com\/<\/a>. Some of the genres we\u2019ve covered since 2015 are short stories, sports, science-fiction, biography, culinary fiction, non-fiction that reads like fiction and mystery. Books that are chosen must be published within the last five years and as our blog posts become out-of-date, we\u2019ll revisit an older genre in order to update it.<\/p>\n

The committee currently has eleven members each from a different library, but we\u2019re always looking for more people to join and spread the love of books. We meet at SCLS<\/a> on the last Thursday of the month in January, April and September from\u00a010 am-12 pm<\/span>\u00a0with coffee\/tea at\u00a09:30 am<\/span>. If you\u2019d like to join the committee, please contact me at\u00a0aagnello@wbpl.us<\/a>.<\/p>\n
