Bound to Books

We will be meeting on the 3rd Wednesday of every month at 6:30pm in Sycamore AB. We will read a variety of genres including: romance, thriller, magical realism, and more! Basically, no fiction book is off the table for us. Bring yourself and join us--we don't even care if you're late (or, didn't finish the book)!

Adults

Please do consider your library a one-stop shop for all manner of free services and programs. If you'd like us to add a service or program, please let us know. In the meantime, come see us for resume assistance, interlibrary loans, and of course a superb, up-to-date collection of books, magazines, music, movies and television shows.


Also, please take advantage of our newly organized quiet space, and a more accessible genealogy collection; both are right by the reference librarian. The reference librarian is also a great source for book recommendations, research ideas, INSPIRE instruction, microfilm sources, directions, and collaboration on all manner of treasure hunts.

For more free services, please click on the links to the left, or just stop in and see us. You're always welcome!

For Readers

Monthly New Book Lists

 
 

NoveList Plus

NoveList Plus is the premier readers' advisory database, offering descriptions of hundreds of thousands of fiction and nonfiction books. You can find recommendations by searching by author, title, theme, genre, and time period. Through NoveList's Appeal Mixer, users can find books with certain blends of storylines, tones, writing styles, and characters. NoveList also provides book group discussion guides, genre outlines, and award lists. And with NoveList K-8 Plus, children's books are placed front and center with all of the same great features!

NoveList is available at the library and also everywhere you go just by entering your library card number.

 

What Should I Read Next?

Looking for book suggestions? This site lets you type in a favorite author to generate a list of similar writers and works. If the reference librarian isn't available, this is the next best thing for book recommendations!

 

Fantastic Fiction

Looking for an author's work in its entirety? This great website is for fiction only, and the best place to see all of an author’s series, including upcoming publications.  Please note that the library may not own all of the books included on this site.  But, we'd be happy to get them for you!
