BookAmor: Readers’ Advisory & Discovery for Public Libraries

BookAmor is a readers-advisory and discovery tool designed specifically for public libraries. From a single search, it provides curated, librarian-style recommendations across books, audiobooks, films, and music. The interface clearly displays your library’s name and links directly to your catalog — with no ILS integration required.

What BookAmor Does:

• Contextual recommendations:
  Presents themed, read-alike recommendations with brief explanatory context, written in a librarian-style tone.
• Multiple formats in one place:
  Supports discovery across books, audiobooks, films, and music from a single search.
• Direct catalog links:
  Each item includes a clear “Find in Library” link that routes patrons to your catalog.
• Supports self-directed discovery:
  Helps patrons explore when staff are busy or unavailable, while staying aligned with traditional readers’ advisory practice.

Library-Identified:

BookAmor displays your library’s name throughout the interface so patrons recognize it as a library-provided service. No visual customization, branding work, or technical setup is required.

No Integration Required:

• Works alongside any ILS:
  No catalog indexing and no changes to your ILS configuration.
• No patron data ingestion:
  Designed to minimize risk and avoid dependency on patron records.
• No disruption to staff workflows:
  Easy to evaluate, deploy, and maintain.

Common Library Use Cases:

• Readers’ advisory at scale
• Self-directed discovery
• Book clubs and discussion groups
• Passive programming and displays
• Supporting reluctant or returning readers
