Connecting with Books

Are you wondering what to read next?

We are here to assist readers in finding the right book by providing resources in the format of book lists, book reviews and online eResources.

This will guide you in trying new authors, themes, genres to promote reading, literacy and library use.

Not everyone reads every genre and as readers ourselves we can provide suggestions for our patrons by providing you access to a range of resources to help you.
