RA in a Day
RA in a Day 2025
Deep Dive into New Genres – Explore the Unfamiliar – April 29, 2025
What’s in a genre? We’re exploring the building blocks of classic and emerging genres to help you deepen your knowledge of what readers seek, love, and keep coming back for in their favourite reads.
Sessions include:
- Key titles and authors to know in each genre,
- Opportunities for programming and connection with RA
- Plus applicable vocabulary lists and new titles to recommend
RA in a Day is a one-day conference that brings some of the best readers’ advisory advocates together to share their knowledge and expertise on meeting the needs of readers. During the day, participants will learn about the latest RA trends and look at how to best serve those who visit our libraries every day, either in-person or virtually.
Nominate a colleague for OPLA’s Award for Leadership in Adult Readers’ Advisory Award.
The purpose of this award is to honour excellence in readers’ advisory service to adults. Award presentation occurs at RA in a Day event.
