What Should I Read?

Picking a book - for some of us, it's easy to choose - for others, it might be more difficult. Here are some resources to help you find a book that matches your interests!

Probably the best way to get recommendations for good books is to ask a friend whose taste you like. You've talked about movies and music, now ask what they've read and loved.

Next stop - talk to our librarians. They love books, and they love helping you find books! Tell them about you and your interests, and they can help direct you to a good read!
