Personalized Recommended Reading Lists

The library now has a new service that allows you to sign up for recommended reading lists of your favorite genres. You can choose from 15 genres of books and we will email you lists of new titles the library acquires in each of those categories. Most of our librarians are selecting in their areas of expertise, so the lists will reflect some of the best new titles the library is getting.

There are several advantages and time saving aspects to this service. First off, you’ll be kept apprised on the new books that are coming into the library. Each month, we add a couple hundred titles to the library collection, and this would be a way to pinpoint the areas you are interested in. And for each title, there are links within each list to our catalog. This means that you see if the book is checked in our out and you can place holds on the books if they are not on the shelf. Also, there might be some new authors in the lists you subscribe to that you might not know about. Which means that possibilities of expanding your reading will be greatly improved.

So, take a look at the NextReads service. It's simple to subscribe, and you might be surprised at what you might find here at the library. Click here to go to the NextReads subscription page.
