Some bookchain members read very quickly and get bored waiting for the chain to finish. What can we offer them to keep them reading?

You could put together a box of books called Loose Links. If a bookchain member has read all the books in their chain, you could offer them a ‘dip’ in the Loose Links box. Don’t forget to give them a spare comments sheet to record their response to the book.

Choose more unusual books for the Loose Links box. This is your chance to promote less mainstream library stock or new authors – and get some issues on titles which readers haven’t found for themselves.

Display the Loose Links reader comments in the same way as the bookchain comments.
