Try Something Different this Summer

4分读

One of the more tired phrases in publishing and library world is the use of the phrase “beach reads”. Evidently summer reading is about the light and easy book choices. Usually, this pops up when we talk about romances, women’s fiction (or domestic fiction) and books that are somehow not “serious”. Summer reading or a beach reads often implies a lesser type of read.

Also, I just dislike saying that only certain types of books are somehow more appropriate to haul to the beach and other titles should be read elsewhere. Tolstoy can go to the beach just as well as a Sophie Kinsella title. Instead of genre wars, light vs. heavy reads or classics vs popular fiction, how about if we all try something new?

放在一起的成人和青少年暑期阅读计划了很久之后,我真的希望人们能喜欢阅读无论出于何种原因。说话时,成年人和年轻人,而不是暗示“读A-喜欢”怎么样暗示的舒适区读?住危险,并尝试新的作者,流派或主题。尝试非小说,而不是小说。仅仅是不同的。质量往往书籍在读者的眼睛,而不是为帮老白在哈佛大学从上个世纪之交的家伙一些英文文献的阅读清单。(我对“经典”的标题,我将在这里装模作样避免整体长篇大论。)

问题的关键是,也许夏无启发较慢,轻松的步伐,将借给自己“轻”的阅读。也许对一些读者认为是真实的。作为图书馆员,我希望人们用他们的阅读实验。这个作为“约会”一书,承诺不。试了几个章节,并且不感到内疚,如果你要折腾回来了阅读的“不”堆。作为一个图书管理员,我经常发现,很多人认为这是某种可耻的一本书中间的“放弃”。我特别担心年轻人可能由悦读,因为过于频繁地从家长或老师的建议可能会嫌功课或家务的关闭。暑期阅读应该是有趣的,而不是有关读取正确的事情。鼓励你的顾客会好起来的与不喜欢选择和说,没有羞耻,这本书不是为我工作。

我的观点是,我们都在我们的生活中发展作为读者的不同点,没有一个人的旅程或味道是一样的。我多年来的阅读清单已经从浪漫到不等舒适奥秘流行的非小说类作品。这改变了根据心情,相对应力水平,如果我打算做一个有声读物或一本平装书。不是每个人都有一本书,甚至你自己的阅读会随时间而改变同样的经历。不会是你热爱和怀念在二十出头的读者,你在五十年代所爱的东西。我们每个人都为读者带来了一套独特的心理包袱的表中我们每次拿起了一本书的时间。

To help our patrons experiment offer up book displays that cross genres and talk about different ideas. (Practice your book-talking!) Try a “mystery” or blind date with a book. Wrap the book up so you can’t see the title and then use a grab bag approach. I have used this with many adult patrons over the years and it is fun and just a bit dangerous to select a book blindly.

The library should be the least judgmental when it comes to reading choices. Any reading is good reading as long as you enjoy it. Why not suggest you and your patrons try something different this summer?
