Reader Recommendations
This is a totally cool idea!
As part of LPL's 2007 Adult Summer reading Program, you, our very own library patrons, leave impressions, thoughts, reviews of books that you have read IN THE BOOK!
The next patron to come along then has a guideline whether or not to pick it up and take it to the beach.
We provide a form that has the following rating system:
Four Badges = Detective 1st Class (highest rating)
Three Badges = Liked It
Two Badges = Just OK
One Badge = Arrest the Author
There is space for you to jot down a 2 or 3 line review of the book, bring the slip back to the reference desk to enter your name for a prize!
Staff will ensure the slip gets placed in the book.
