Students are used to browsing the shelves for their next book to read. Due to social distancing and quarantine protocols, the students are missing a huge opportunity to choose just the right book for them. By presenting book talks and lessons how to use the electronic catalog and reader advisory databases combined with the opportunity to discuss the books with their librarian as well as each other, students will benefit from being able to choose what they want to read, put it on hold, and have it delivered or packed up ready to be picked up. A second monitor will allow both the presentations and the discussions to occur simultaneously.
