Reviewers of Young Adult Literature (ROYAL)

ROYAL members review books from publishers and, in exchange, keep all of the books they’ve reviewed. At each meeting, each reviewer is expected to share a booklist and to discuss each of their reviews.  There are two ROYAL groups at present. One group meets from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. at SWON and the other meets from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Boone County Public Library.

SWON Libraries maintains a database of reviews for use by any interested party. We are currently investigating other options for a future database.  If you have any suggestions, please share them with Nathan at the SWON Libraries office, (513) 751-4422.

If you are a Publisher and would like to be included in our review process, please contact Dorothy at the SWON Libraries office, (513) 751-4422.

Convener: Paula Geglein, Collection Development Manager, Clermont County Public Library, gegleipa@oplin.org

Membership Dues: ROYAL members pay $50.00 per year if they currently work for a SWON Libraries Supporting Member Library.  All others pay annual dues of $100.00.  Dues are not pro-rated.  If you have any questions about your standing, please contact Dorothy at the SWON Libraries office and she will be happy to assist you.
