*Melanie Deutsch* has been the Fiction Specialist at the Parma South 
Branch of the Cuyahoga County Public Library since 1989. She is 
responsible for the What to Read page on the Cuyahoga County Public 
Library web site. Melanie has presented programs at PLA -- Phoenix 2002 
(Weeding preconference and an individual session on weeding fiction) and 
she has presented program at PLA -- Seattle 2004 (NF- RA program). In 
addition, she has presented library programs in Michigan, Salt Lake 
City, Delaware, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Wisconsin and all 
over Ohio.

Melanie says, "I am the ultimate eclectic reader. I enjoy mysteries, 
literary fiction, fantasy, SF, thrillers, the back of cereal boxes etc. 
I also enjoy 'Non-Fiction that Reads like Fiction'"


      Description

"But, I don't read NON-fiction!" Librarians may panic when asked to 
recommend a good non-fiction book, but the basic skills of readers' 
advisory service also apply to non-fiction. And yes, there are plenty of 
"true" books that read like fiction. Explore these non-fiction parallels 
and boost your library's circulation by using your entire collection 
when doing readers' advisory.

*Program Objectives*
Objective 1: Participants will be able to recognize and utilize readers' 
advisory techniques to provide non-fiction readers' advisory.

Objective 2: Participants will be able to identify the various 
non-fiction subject areas that work best for readers' advisory and the 
representative titles in each.

Objective 3: Participants will have a working bibliography and web 
resources to provide further readers' advisory guidance.


      Meal

Light snacks will be provided


      Audience

This meeting is open to all library staff interested in reader's 
advisory work!
