Did you know there is a whole branch of librarianship
dedicated to perfecting the art of the book recommendation? It’s called Readers’ Advisory and here at WPL
we’re flexing our librarian muscles and kicking it up a notch with a new
service just for our readers: Find Your Next Great Read. Whether you’re an occasional skimmer of
biographies or a voracious consumer of historical romance we’d like to help you
find something you’ll love.
Sometimes you get into a slump and you just don’t know what
to read next. Other times you feel like
you need to be inspired to step outside your comfort zone. Whatever your reading mood you can
participate in this new service by filling out the Find Your Next Great Read
form here. We’ll ask you questions about books you like,
books you don’t like and everything in between.
Let us know what you’re in the mood for and we’ll provide you with a
personalized reading guide of titles hand selected by a WPL librarian. Sure, you could find your next book on
Novelist or Goodreads (and we do encourage you to explore!) but what Find Your
Next Great Read offers is the personal touch.
Each reading guide will include a note from the librarian who compiled
it, giving a little explanation as to why we chose the titles that we did. Additionally you will receive summaries and
appeal factors on each title. These will
give you hints about the books’ plots and why you might like them.
This is a new service and we welcome your feedback and
suggestions! Get inspired and check it
out today!
