This is a bit off topic for those of us in the corporate library world.

However, for those of you in the public library world serving romance
readers like me, this is right up you alley.

Fiction-L or the Booklist site, but I've been asked to post it here as
well:

Romance is hot . . . in the library, that is. Join Donna Seaman,
Booklist's romance fiction editor and a panel of librarians, authors,
and publishers to discuss the state of the genre-in public libraries and

Public Library; Shelley Mosley, Adjunct Librarian at Glendale (AZ)
Community College; Madeline Hunter, best-selling author of 17 historical
romances; Kayleigh George, Library Marketing Coordinator at
HarperCollins Publishers; and Cheryl Herman, Library Marketing Director,
