Every reader has times when they don't know what to read next. Lucky for you, the library is here to help. We have a number of resources that can get you out of your reading slump and find your next book. Below you will find three ways the library can assist you with your next book selection. You can have reading recommendations sent monthly to your inbox with NextReads, you can also choose to find it yourself using our Novelist database, or seek personalized recommendations from library staff by filling out our Readers' Advisory Form. You can decide what kind of recommendations suit your reading needs by checking out these resources below!

NEW!!! For every type of reader, receive monthly Recommendations with NextReads:

We recently added a new service for our patrons called Next Reads. NextReads allows you to signup for email Newsletters with reading recommendations. You pick which genres fit your reading interests and sign up for as many or as few as you want. Once a month you will receive a genre newsletter with recommendations in your chosen genre. You can also sign up for the weekly bestseller lists. You are in control and you choose which you prefer. Click here to see the complete list of available NextReads newsletter and sign up!

For the Find It Yourself Reader use Novelist:

You are self reliant and know pretty much what you want, you just need a little help sorting through the millions of recommendations out there.  For you we recommend using Novelist. Our Novelist database is the perfect tool for researching the books you want to read next. Novelist is a great resource for finding read-alikes for both favorite books and favorite authors. They also provide lists of popular books as well as cultivated lists of reading trends that are just wonderful for browsing.
