Readers Advisory Roundtable

Readers’ advisory service…is a patron-centered library service for adult leisure readers. A successful readers’ advisory service is one in which knowledgeable, nonjudgmental staff help fiction and nonfiction readers with their leisure reading needs.

-Saricks, Joyce G., Readers' Advisory Service in the Public Library (Chicago: ALA 2005)
