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
