At the risk of sounding like a broken record since my last several columns at least touched on the fact that our summer program has started, I’m simply going to encourage my readers to take advantage of the awesome (if I do say so myself) giveaways that we’ve organized for participants in our program by registering and logging the time you’ve been spending reading!
Now, if you haven’t been reading...or listening to an audiobook, that’s cool. If you haven’t been reading because you need some recommendations then we’re here for you. As a little extra fun, we recently added a selection of staff-picks to our website homepage so you can see what we’ve enjoyed reading. But if none of those catch your interest, then I suggest checking out our “What Should I Read Next?” page that can be found under the “Services” tab.
The resource I often turn to when I’m just interested in browsing through suggestions is Novelist; though Next Reads and Select Reads will send you a list of book recommendations based on your preferences if you sign up to receive them, which gives you a more personalized list to look over.
Another way I like to browse for my next read is by pulling up the “Explore” option on the Libby/OverDrive apps; you can find this section when you click on “Preferences” on the main page. This will then take you to a list to filter by, and I often wander through the to “Subjects” section so that I can select one that catches my interest. For example, you will be taken to a list of 128 different subject arranged by the number of titles we currently have on that subject (though you can rearrange them so that they are alphabetical if you prefer).
The ability to search for specific topics within the library catalog and on these sites makes me doubly appreciative when my attention gets caught by a specific topic. Sometimes I hear something on the news that I want to learn more about, or I watch a movie or TV show set during a particular event from history that I want to know the full, or true, story about; as a librarian I do love my facts and I imagine many of you are the same. Enjoy browsing!
