WHAT ARE YOU READING?

Are you reading something really wonderful?  Have you found a book that you just can't put down? Is there a book that you love so much that you've read it more than once? We'd like to hear about your favorites so we can share them with other library patrons on this blog. 

Our patrons frequently ask us at the Reference desk for recommendations. Do you like scary or cozy mysteries?  Perhaps you like historical fiction of science fiction. Would you like to read something that makes you laugh out loud?  Maybe you prefer non-fiiction.  If you tell us what type of books and authors you like, we can find other titles that might interest you.

Using the library's database NoveList Plus is a great way to find read-alikes and book reviews.  Go to our website and click on "resources", then "research tools."  There is an A-Z list of databases. Select NoveList Plus and search by genre, author, title or series.  There are book reviews and summaries.  This is a very useful database, especially for book clubs.  If you're using this at home, you will be asked for your library card number.  We'll be glad to help you learn to use NoveList Plus.  You can also create lists of what you've read or what you'd like to read.

If  you'd rather not use our database, we'll be happy to help you find some great books to read.

Please tell us about your favorite books.

Thanks for reading!
