Historical Fiction: Learning from the Past

LibraryLinkNJ is proud to offer the next webinar in our series on genre reader's advisory, following successful programs on horror, romance, and fantasy readers' advisory. By request, we are now highlighting historical fiction, a genre with long-lasting appeal. With several subgenres, from historical romance to historical mystery to historical fantasy, it can be difficult to know how to get started promoting this diverse genre to your community. Come learn why readers love historical fiction and how you can promote it all year long.
