Find Your Next Great Read With Booklist Reader
Wondering what to read next? The Monroe County Public Library has a great new way to find your next great read – Booklist Reader.
Click on the cover to learn more:
This publication from the American Library Association has recommended reads for all ages, and includes audiobooks. And they’re not all new books – these recommendations pull from writers’ backlists and library shelves to suggest some hidden gems.
So if you see something you like, go ahead and search our catalog. If it’s a new book and we don’t have it, you can ask us to add it to the collection. If it’s a book that was published more than a year ago, you can request it via Interlibrary Loan – we’ll try to get it from another library for you. Questions about that? Stop by or call your local branch, or email us at info@keyslibraries.org
The August issue has a spotlight on graphic novels, book groups and sports, as well as interviews with Roxanna Asgarian (We Were Once A Family) and Amanda Peters (The Berry Pickers), the winners of this year’s Carnegie Medals for nonfiction and fiction. As always the issue also includes this month’s picks for LibraryReads and program highlights from PBS Books.
