There are 2 ways that you may participate with BookLinx:

• As a reviewer who attends the meetings and selects her/his own books to review.

• As a reviewer who cannot attend the meetings but wishes to receive books for review.

When you attend meetings:

We have two meetings each year, usually October and May; held at the Rahway Public Library.  Check our website for meeting dates and updated information, booklinx.org.

Our meetings are quite nice – at a lovely facility with free parking, refreshments, a chance to network and meet new colleagues – and get free books for your library.  CEU/PD hour certificates are also available for participants attending.  Bring a strong bag or two to carry your books ☺

• 4 – 4:30 Preview Books – See all the latest books that our participating publishers are sending.

• 4:30 – 6:00 – Books selected at the previous meeting will be reviewed and new books will be selected to be reviewed for the next meeting.

When you choose to receive and review books sent via LibraryLinkNJ delivery:

• Please let us know (...@gmail.com">book...@gmail.com or ...@booklinx.org">i...@booklinx.org) before our meeting which types of books you would like to review (YA, Picture, Board, Graphic Novels, Easy Fiction, Junior Fiction, Junior NonFiction, Junior Biography).  Publishers have been sending lots of YA books and we would appreciate it if you would review at least two YA books.  

• After the meeting date, 5-10 books will be delivered to your designated school or public library via LibraryLinkNJ delivery service authorized route.
