We are also in the process of changing how we do our InfoSoup staff picks. The Readers' Advisory Group will be posting their Recommended Reads to InfoSoup, along with genre specific reading lists for adults and young adults. The last meeting featured gentle reads and the next meeting in April will review historical fiction. Please contact Holly or Ann Hunt at NLP if you would like to participate in the reading group.
The Recommended Reads page is still a Work in Progress, but should go live on InfoSoup next week. Feel free to take a sneak peak while we develop the page. If you would like to add a review to the list please contact Ann. We will be discontinuing the staff picks that we posted through BookLetters. Many thanks to everyone who sent suggestions!

We are going to try to start up the Readers' Advisory Group (RAG) again! This time around, we're going to try it as a joint program with NFLS libraries included, too. Ann Hunt, Director of the New London Public Library has volunteered to serve as the coordinator of RAG to get things started, and Leslie (OWLS) and Jamie (NFLS) will be lending a hand for each system. Thanks, Ann, Leslie, and Jamie!
Details about the plans so far can be found on the RAG page on OWLSweb. You'll be hearing from Leslie and Jamie soon, as we try to figure out what date and time would be best for most people, so stay tuned!
