The first blog dedicated solely to readers' advisors will be released in April, 2007. Although the blog will be part of the Reader's Advisor Online from Libraries Unlimited, access to the blog will be free to everyone. The blog will be edited by Cindy Orr. It will be your Monday morning wakeup read and your midweek refresher, your one-stop source for announcements of current best-selling fiction and nonfiction and brand spanking new releases; thought-provoking articles by RA experts Diana Tixier Herald, Sarah Statz Cords and guest contributors; contests; games; and lots of fun stuff for bibliophiles and professional RAs.
