27. Check Boundaries: Important to ask horror readers how they feel about violence, gore and sex in their stories. Horror runs the gamut from extremely tame to the deliberate gross-out. Also check for a particular sub-genre the patron may enjoy, such as vampire fiction or ghost stories, etc.
28. DO NOT LET PEOPLE WALK AWAY WITH ONE BOOK! EVER! Refer to web page and bookmark RA tools. Even when you’re busy, they can guide patrons. Keep a display of current genre and by-the-numbers bookmarks handy for both staff and patrons. (preferably near to where the books are located and at the Reference Desk).
