Tumblr For Readers' Advisory

This is a handout I made for a librarian workshop on how to do readers' advisory on Tumblr. It is part of a quick and easy workshop/presentation that you can do with staff who are already familiar with the basics of readers' advisory. Feel free to use this handout, with credit, and contact me with any questions!
