Sites for Readers


Looking for a good book?

Helping customers find the books they want is a major part of Adult Services.  We love matching readers with the type of books they prefer through our knowledge of authors’ writing styles, online databases such as Novelist, and with booklists available at the reference desk and in displays around the Library. 

If you like to chat about books with others, the Library offers Novel Ideas, a monthly book discussion group for adults or check out one of these interactive, readers' advisory websites:
