Readers’ Advisory Services
We value reading and know you do, too! Our Readers’ Advisory
services are designed to match your reading interests with new and
different authors and books. Tell us what authors and books you
have enjoyed and together we can tap these resources to identify
new selections for you to read and explore:
- Our staff - People who work in libraries love to read. Anyone
on staff will be happy to offer suggestions or we will find the
right staff person to respond to your inquiry.
- Novelist Plus - a readers’ advisory database that will help
you identify novels and authors by a variety of characteristics
(examples include genre, lead characters, historical setting,
plot features).
- Websites - Click here
for some great websites for finding interesting books to read.
- Our Book Clubs
