Looking for a Good Book to Read?

Everybody knows that the libary has books, but did you know that we also have several resources to use when you are looking for a good book to read?
If you are at home and looking for recommendations, visit our What to Read webpage. There are several different links that feature award winning books, read-a-likes and staff picks. You will also find a link to Novelist which is a database created by librarians for readers. Take a look at this tutorial to see how you can use Novelist to find recommended books. Please note that in order to access Novelist you will need to enter your Glenview Public Library card number.

Next time you visit the library, ask about BookPage. BookPage is a monthly newspaper that you can take home with you free of charge. Each month, newly released books are featured, for adults and kids in fiction and non-fiction.

I often recommend browsing the shelves to find a good book. Areas in the collection which are perfect for browsing include the New Book area, which features new fiction and non-fiction, the Book Discussion area, which has titles that have been discussed by library book groups and the topical displays that greet you on your left when you walk into the library.

And, if you still can't find something good to read, please ask for a suggestion at the Reader Services Desk. In addition to our many years of reading experience, we have a variety of tools at our disposal in order to help us make reading suggestions to our patrons. We don't want you to go home empty handed!
