  16. Survey of booktalkers: suggestions • Continue to recommend new books that might be of interest to CHS residents. • umm, make me less nervous? Unless you have a magic wand that erases stage fright, I think they are good as is. The time commitment is definitely substantial, so it would have been nice to get more off-desk time to work on my book talks, but that's probably not possible. • Have booktalkers complete a short report following each visit that gets shared with other booktalkers so that we get to share experiences and best practices, as well as titles/authors they are really interested in.

  17. Survey of booktalkers: suggestions • Combining the smaller classes. • It would be great if we could get the booktalkers together once a year to share ideas, book that worked, etc. I think that a lot of what we learn and use carries over to working with other patrons. • Somehow figure out how to have more time during the work day to prepare the booktalks.

  18. Survey of booktalkers: suggestions • Sub funds – It’s increasingly difficult schedule-wise to be able to go. • Prepare the students more so they know how to behave and have a sense of what to do. • Recruit more booktalkers so we could all go in groups of three.

  29. Survey of CHS residents: comments • more urban books • bring books about food • More interesting books • Booktalkers need to stand up more • Booktalkers need to move around more • Show more fantasy, romance, and horror • Have peers/teenagers do booktalks • More energetic presence.

  30. Next steps / recommendations • Share results with CHS teachers • Ask CHS teachers to share results with students • Share results with HCL booktalkers, and later all HCL staff

  31. Next steps / recommendations • Booktalkers could present their experiences and what they’ve learned to other colleagues to recruit more booktalkers and gain support for the program. • Choose more books that reflect the interest of CHS students based on survey results. • Create opportunities for audience involvement within the booktalks to keep students actively engaged booktalks. • Respond to audience cues and adapt presentation style and content accordingly to maintain interest. • Suggest increased teacher intervention with disruptive behavior.
