Register Here for the Crime Fiction RA Program

Crime Fiction has become a ubiquitous heading for a large grouping of fiction these days, but what exactly does it mean? Readers ask for crime fiction, but do they really want mystery, suspense, a thriller.…or something else?  It can be difficult and overwhelming to find the right reading suggestions for this group of patrons. Becky Spratford, author, Dominican University instructor, and Readers’ Advisory librarian at the Berwyn Public Library, is here to help once again! In a three hour session, Becky will go over the characteristics of Crime Fiction, provide you with practical lists of the most popular genres and authors the term encompasses, and review the best resources for you. By the end of this program you will be an “expert investigator” of crime fiction.
*Please note, this talk is geared toward helping patrons ages 16 and up.

Coffee and mini desserts are included in this afternoon workshop.
Registration and starts at 12:30 p.m.
