Different Kinds • Leaving with a hook • Stories from Books • Audience Participation • Personal Story • Promote a Program • Example: Leave with a Hook
When can you do booktalks? • At the reference desk • In a formal setting in front of a group • At your family reunions • Example: Stories from the book
Why should you do booktalks? • Spark interest in your older books • Show off your new books • Increase circulation • Increase program statistics • Turn you into a Rock Star • Build relationships with schools • Example – Audience Participation
Getting into Schools • It only takes ONE teacher • My booktalking story • Chocolate • Saying Yes • Promotional Flyer • Example: Share a personal experience
Typical Format • Quick introduction or reintroduction • What have you read lately? • Let them pick the order of the books • Booktalk! • Examples: Leave them on the Hook / Audience Participation
Choosing Books • Know your audience • Try not to always push your favorite genres or books • READ THE BOOK BEFORE YOU BOOKTALK IT. • Be aware of content (Feed Story!) • Example: Story from a Book
Staying Organized • Spreadsheet • Binder • Whatever works for you • Example: Personal Story
What if you are shy? • The night before my very first booktalking event I COULD NOT SLEEP • Start small • Take it one class at a time. Rehearse, rehearse, rehearse • Example: Promoting a Program
Follow Up • I email teachers • Title / Author / AR points / BL Level • Date I’m coming again
