Help! I Need Reading Recommendations!

In search of reading recommendations?

At the Mount Pleasant Regional Library we have numerous ways to help you find something to read.

We have a staff picks display that is frequently updated by our staff members with books, movies, and television shows the staff have enjoyed.  The items are as diverse as our staff, currently we have mystery books, reality TV shows, poetry, and fantasy classics. The display is always changing so come on by and take a peak. 

On our website www.ccpl.org, we have a reader's advisory page under the "Use Your Library" header.  Learn more about book clubs, book lists and suggestions, and lastly reader's advisory.  Click reader's advisory gives three options: Novelist (a database full of read-a-likes), Next Reads (a way to sign up for genre specific newsletters from the library), and KDL's What's Next database (a simple listing of books in different series).

 Also our great librarians who are only ever a trip to the library or phone call away, (843) 849-6161, press 2 for reference. We're always more than happy to help you with reading recommendations.

Pietro Bartolo - Tears of Salt - Book Review: Pietro Bartolo runs the sole medical clinic in his homeland of Lampedusa, a tiny Italian island 70 miles off the coast of Tunisia that has become the gateway—and graveyard—for an unending stream of refugees trying to escape the varied horrors confronting them in Africa, the Middle East and Asia.
