Assignment
2:
My main experience with book trailers was during a book club for school aged children that we hosted at my branch during the summer of 2015. I showed the books trailers for Serafina and the Black Cloak, as well as Wonder and Crossover. The children absolutely loved them and many checked out any available copies of the books we had at the branch and others placed holds. My experience indicates that when people do watch book trailers, their interest in the book increases dramatically. I believe that getting a visual preview of a book can definitely help to promote a book in a way that words simply cannot. I also believe that if a child is reluctant reader, initially encountering the book in a more comfortable form may be the encouragement the child needs to read the book.

Assignment 3:
One of most interesting parts of the training was the chance to explore genre mash-ups in a more in-depth manner. Becoming more familiar with mash-ups such as Western-style Steampunk was exciting. Secondly, I learned more about the Romance genre than I ever thought I would. I now have a far better understanding about the different Romance subgenres and which ones will appeal to certain readers. Thirdly, I encountered a host of blogs and website that I will now use on a daily basis. These resources will help to better equip me as I engage in readers advisory during my career as a librarian. I’ll be more informed and aware of what’s going on in the world of books and will be able to pass that knowledge on to others.
