Booklist Online: Book Reviews from the American Library Association

I’m always looking for another group to partner with for a book discussion. I have found that groups associated with local arts organizations are one of the best and most receptive groups to approach. The arts organization gets to offer a new activity for members and the library gets to promote programs and services to a welcoming audience of new faces.

One of the best partnerships I’ve seen between arts agency and library is between Rockport (MA) Music and the Rockport Public Library. These two groups have joined forces to offer a book discussion of The Soloist by Steve Lopez. The Rockport Public Library is providing space and books; Rockport Music is providing a facilitator. The discussion topics have been uploaded to the Rockport Music website for participants to view in advance.

For further details on this copacetic pairing, visit Rockport Music. And than call up the nearest music appreciation society and talk about joining forces.
