What’s Ahead for LibraryReads

As the 5th Anniversary of LibraryReads approaches  (fall 2018), we are planning  updates to make the list even more dynamic:

• More robust annotations featuring readalike titles (when possible) chosen by professional readers’ advisory librarians.
• #1 pick and Alphabetical Order ranking—removes any confusion as to where titles “place” every month.
• “Hall of Fame” Authors—when an author has hit the LibraryReads monthly list twice, their subsequent eligible titles will be given special recognition as a Hall of Fame placement.
• Additional lists, including Board member picks, book group selections, themed lists, and more.
• A new user-friendly website coming soon, giving everyone more access to our expanded content.

We’ve also just changed the voting deadline to the first of each month! Much easier to remember, and gives readers that little bit of extra time to tackle the TBR pile!

Please email us if you have suggestions of what else you might like to see from LibraryReads in the future!
