*Donald Crews*, this one at least, is not a children's book author and 
illustrator. He is Reference Librarian at the Delhi Township Branch, a 
large suburban branch of PLCH. His concentration is serving the adult 
patrons' interests, including programming and book discussions. Donald 
figures this is either his second or third career which gives him a 
somewhat unique perspective on librarianship.

Donald's interest in book clubs and adult reading has led him to work on 
a librarything.com <http://www.librarything.com/> "tool" for sharing 
book club info within the Public Library of Cincinnati & Hamilton County 
librarian community.


      Description

Library book clubs should make books come alive and be a jumping-off 
point for more reading, learning and enjoying. Book clubs are a great 
way to connect with your patrons and to reconnect you and your patrons 
to books. Find ways to pick titles, prepare and plan for your club 
meetings and borrow and share your experiences with colleagues.

*Hands on opportunities* will show participants ways to use book clubs 
to promote the library and its services. Find out how websites like 
librarything.com <http://www.librarything.com/> can help you pick, share 
and promote your book discussions. If you're ready to start a book club 
or you want to take your library book club to another level, this 
workshop is for you!
