Librarian Newsletter: September 2022
Greetings!

As we head into early autumn - arguably the most exciting time of the year for book lovers! - we have a wealth of resources to help deepen and enhance your reading experience. Discover recent, highly recommended books by Native authors; and test your knowledge of how to pronounce various authors' names. Some might just surprise you.

Plus, a peek at September's upcoming gems, witty book club names, and more!

Thank you for reading!

How to Pronounce 700 Author Names

In addition to thousands of author bios and interviews, BookBrowse also contains pronunciation guides for 700 authors' names. For example, these are a handful that you might be getting wrong:

John Lescroart, Gillian Flynn, Debbie Maycomber, Annie Proulx, Louis de Bernieres and Kate DiCamillo.


We invite both non-subscribing libraries and subscribers to utilize our lists and articles (e.g. to post on social media, in newsletters, etc), but please note that, in some cases, non-subscribers will not have full access.

Subscribers, be sure to use your library's custom links, which you can find here, so your patrons see your library's branded version of BookBrowse, with links to your OPAC and seamless login for full access.

50 Witty & Wonderful Book Club Names

In the market for a name to give your book group? Why not look over some real book club names for inspiration?

Earlier this year, we sent out a question with our annual book club survey asking about the names of subscribers' book clubs. We received more than 500 answers - ranging from straightforward and sincere to witty and laugh-out-loud entertaining - and we thoroughly enjoyed sifting through all of them...

1,700+ Discussion Guides

At BookBrowse you'll find more than 1,700 free reading guides covering many of the best fiction and nonfiction titles published in the past 20 years.

Each discussion guide is backed up by BookBrowse's own review, and a Beyond-the- Book article that explores a historical, cultural or contextual aspect of the book, plus an excerpt and more.

All visitors can search by author, title and genre; and BookBrowse members can also search by theme, setting and time period.
