Oprah Picks "Middlesex" As Her Summer Book

The story of a Greek-American girl who becomes a teenage boy in 1970s Detroit, Middlesex has already sold more than one million copies, according to Nielsen Bookscan, making the title considerably more popular than most books chosen for Oprah’s club.

Looking for a Good Book?

The Glendale Public Library is happy to provide our community of readers with a new and exciting service—a customized reading list, tailored to your personal reading tastes and interests called "Looking for a Good Book?".

Here's how it works:
Come into the Glendale Central Library or any of the Glendale branches to pick up a blank form. Fill in as much of this reader profile as you wish. The more information you provide, the more likely it is that we can suggest books you will like. Leave areas blank when you have no preference. Librarians at the Glendale Public Library will use your answers to create a customized reading list for you. Please return the completed form to any Glendale Public Library reference desk. We will get back to you within two weeks with your list.

Sounds great, doesn't it?
