Looking for fresh book recommendations and a chance to sharpen your readers' advisory skills? The Black-Eyed Susan Tapestry (BEST) brings together public library staff from across Maryland for virtual sessions focused on standout titles from the current Black-Eyed Susan Book Award nominee lists. Participants learn about award-worthy books, practice book talking techniques, discover connections between titles, and gain a better understanding of Maryland's statewide student voting program.

Offered each spring and fall.
