Readers' Advisory is a service provided by public libraries, typically. ALA assists only in guiding librarians to the resources--in the form of reviews, targeted reading lists, or through the selection of winners and notable books that are part of our Media Awards--that can help them provide this service to their patrons. There are a number of other tools, as well, including books and databases devoted to specific genres. Some of these are listed in our Selection resources.
