Before NoveList, I worked in public libraries, and no matter the role, my favorite part of work has always been discussing books. As a lifelong horror fan and member of the Horror Writers Association’s Library Advisory Council and Summer Scares Selection Committee, I work to encourage libraries to embrace the horror genre. Suzanne Temple has worked at NoveList for the past ten years, most of those as a Metadata Librarian for juvenile materials and graphic novels. She is a past member of the Odyssey Award committee and GNCRT's Best Graphic Novels for Children. Most months you can find her reviews for audiobooks and graphic novels in Booklist. As a lifelong lover of horror, Suzanne looks forward to sharing her passion with anyone who will listen. Moderator Rebecca Vnuk is the Executive Director of LibraryReads. She worked as a public librarian for a decade before becoming the first editor for Collection Management and Library Outreach at Booklist magazine. Rebecca is the author of three reference books on the topic of Women’s Fiction, as well as a best-selling book on weeding library collections. This webinar is now available with additional bonus content on Learn with NoveList.
