What is Readers' Advisory?

Readers' Advisory is a patron-oriented service committed to promoting life long reading enjoyment. We share and talk about books and are more than happy to suggest good titles. We have award winners, mysteries, romance, suspense, historical, family sagas, Christian fiction, gentle reads, classics, literary fiction, holiday fiction, westerns, fantasy, science fiction and horror novels. These books are available in regular print, large print and audio book formats! Stop by the Adult Services desk (next to the fiction collection) for your next great read!

Browsing Options

Check out our ever changing book displays for further reading suggestions. We also have bibliographies of specific genres or author suggestions (if you like... try this...) on display near the Adult Readers' Advisory desk.
