A local librarian has won the Leadership in Adult Readers’ Advisory award.
Melanie Kindrachuk, Public Service Librarian at Stratford Public Library, received the honour from the Ontario Public Library Association.
The award honours excellence in readers’ advisory service to adults, according to a media release from Stratford Public Library.
Reader’s advisory is a personalized service provided by librarians to help patrons find books that match their interests, preferences, and reading habits.
“I’ve always loved connecting with library users over their reading choices,” Kindrachuk said. “It’s a great way to get to know our community and share the joys of our library collections, too.
The library said Kindrachuk is a dedicated advocate for adult reader’s advisory, integrating it seamlessly into library services, programs, and partnerships, while also mentoring and empowering colleagues to excel in the area.
