What Do I Read!!??

Did you make a New Year's resolution to read more this year but just can't figure out what to read next? Don't worry, we've got you covered.

First, check out Novelist Plus one of our e-databases. You'll have to enter your library card number to access this site. You can search for books you've already read and liked and get recommendations for other books and authors to try. This has saved my life on more than one occasion, since my wife regularly enlists me to pick out Chick Lit for her while I'm here at the library.

Also, try the shiny new WhichBook. WhichBook lets you choose elements of a story and then recommends books that match those elements. If you're looking for a happy, unpredictable, conventional story, or something like that, then this is the place for you.

If you're a little more old-fashioned, be sure to look at our staff-picks and themed power walls when you come into the library. You'll always find something new and interesting there.
