What is readers’ advisory?
Readers Advisory Service in the Public Library, defines readers' advisory as: "[a] patron-oriented library service for adult fiction readers. A successful readers' advisory service is one in which knowledgeable, nonjudgmental staff help fiction readers with their reading needs." (Saricks and Brown 1997)
