Subject: Online Reader Advisory ServiceDear all,
We were inspired by a program presented at the 2006 Public Library Association conference to establish a reader advisory service for Books By Mail patrons which is accessible both online and in paper form. Please feel free to imitate (as did we!)

For more information on the original concept, please see *Looking for a Good Book?: Developing an Online Reading Suggestion Service*, a program presented in Boston 2006 by staff of the Williamsburg Regional Library:

Best wishes, and enjoy!

I like both the readers advisory aspect of this program, as well as the books-by-mail aspect. Way to go, Maine State Library.
