Thursday, March 22, 2012, 3:00 PM EST/12:00 PM PST While library budgets remain tight and the rise of ebooks have flattened print book circulation, Library Journal’s recently published 2012 Book Buying Survey also finds that mysteries still rule supreme in public libraries. In fiction circulation, the genre leads the pack by a whopping 97 percent, a reflection of readers opting to escape a rough economy and worse politics. Some mystery buffs choose the comfort of cozies or traditional Golden Age mysteries; others prefer to do a little time traveling with historicals. Then there are those readers who enjoy exploring the world with police procedurals and espionage thrillers set in exotic locales; other adventurous fans like a bit of the paranormal mixed in with their crime fiction. Whatever their literary tastes, these mystery lovers will be coming to you for the latest titles by their favorite authors and new discoveries by rising stars.To find the right books that will help your library patrons escape their worries for a while, join us for this webcast presentation in which our four featured publishers will share their hottest spring mysteries.
