PERSONALIZED READING RECOMMENDATIONS

WHAT IS A PERSONALIZED READING RECOMMENDATION?

  • After you fill out the form on this page, a librarian will compile a list of materials they think you will like based on your responses.
  • If you are looking for materials for a child or friend, it works the same way. Just fill out our form and within a few days we will email you recommendations.

WHAT DOES THE LIBRARIAN NEED TO MAKE AMAZING RECOMMENDATIONS?

  • Give us a brief description of what you enjoy and what you do not. 
    • If you want something with lots of cheesy romance, let us know. 
    • If you really hate books with talking animals, let us know. 
    • If you have a favorite author but have read everything they have written, let us know you are looking for something similar until that favorite author publishes something new. 
  • The more you tell us, the better our recommendations can be.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER I HIT SUBMIT?

  • When you hit submit, your form is sent to a librarian who will take some time to pull together a list of suggestions.
  • You will then receive an email, within about a week, containing titles the librarian thinks you will enjoy.

If you have any other questions, please contact the Reference Desk at 801-852-6661.
