Lariat Logo<http://ih.constantcontact.com/fs084/1102350617723/img/9.jpg> Book lovers across the country will get a new tool in making selections of the latest titles in fiction literature. The Texas Library Association will unveil the group's first reading list for adult readers. The Lariat List is being developed by a group of reading enthusiasts and professional librarians who specialize in services and programming for adults. The inaugural 2010 Lariat List will be unveiled at the Texas Library Association Conference <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1103197501901&s=7337&e=001Zei5j2b1jLRnMKIU d1PvSNTCBBOdXTCjmXoIErBTvQmpysolAM1ldJj1xGjr1PSGbw4kZE0N4Kj_WRdTq0gkH4dl 31hEDkmrcTrX3EI19Ux5uX9b6DWdeyTHKLBsANGfxz88xt4NxTU=> , which will be held in San Antonio April 14 - 17, 2010. The List will feature 25 notable fiction works published in the U.S. within the last year. Corinne Hill, the chair of the group and assistant director of resource management at Dallas Public Library, says "The Texas Library Association has an outstanding reputation in the country for its many youth reading lists. Now, we felt the time was right to focus on our adult readers. As librarians, we get so many requests from book clubs and library clients for the best reads. So, we decided to put our collective skills together to create a tool to assist adult readers by providing them with a list of books that are simply a pleasure to read." Librarians will take the final votes on the nominations during the Association's conference and will reveal the new Lariat List at the Lariat List Adult Services Author Session Breakfast on Saturday, April 17 in San Antonio. Two notable authors of adult works, Amy Wilson and Ken C. Davis, will join the celebration and discuss their works and the value writing for adults. According to Diane Bruxvoort, associate dean for collection services at the University of Houston, who also sits on the selection committee, the members of the group have read nearly 300 titles for this year's list. "It's fascinating to see the diversity of titles available in a given year, and we are working to present a list of 'great reads' to appeal to a broad spectrum of fiction readers." The Lariat Reading list will be posted on the Association's website <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1103197501901&s=7337&e=001Zei5j2b1jLSg8CFj L99UNcFNWt5Uunu8n7u_2Dj-xxyRelySCQBG_qlbT6cFIPwWRxdVT-uIUO1_vAyGYMFTpTsq ECYmj8g4QxMYSGrCkxY=> after the official launch in April.
