Book Lust: Readers’ Advisory Toolkit
We created a toolkit based on Nancy Pearl’s four doorways approach to Readers’ Advisory, that may be used by any public library interested in creating or enhancing their RA program. Pearl’s approach is based on her own unique understanding of what appeals to readers, which helps library staff and patrons discover a wider array of books to select from. The Book Lust Readers’ Advisory Toolkit includes staff training, display materials, programming, a social media plan, and host website. All elements were implemented at the Kitsap Regional Library system and the Coeur d'Alene Public Library.
