The closest thing we have to a "crap detector" is a qualified librarian.
In his book "The Read-Aloud Handbook," Jim Trelease emphasizes the importance of critical evaluation in literature selection. He suggests that qualified librarians serve as valuable resources to help discerning readers navigate the vast array of available material. Their expertise allows them to distinguish quality content from inferior works, ensuring that readers have access to worthwhile literature.
Treasuring the role of librarians, Trelease highlights that they provide a unique skill set that acts as a "crap detector," guiding individuals in their reading journeys. Their training and experience enable them to recommend books that are not only engaging but also enriching, fostering a deeper appreciation for reading.
