Which Books Do You Have?

What books do you have in your home library? Wish you had a better record of what you've read and enjoyed? Do you have lists of books to read at some point and want to get organized? Why not keep all that information in one convenient place?

Take a look at a cool online tool called "goodreads" (www.goodreads.com). According to the site, "you can add and review books that you are currently reading, going to read, or already read. You can also read reviews..."

Basically you make lists of the books you own, books you've read, books you're currently reading and books you want to read in the future. Plus you can see what other people have enjoyed and recommend. All in one place!

It's a neat tool and very handy--check it out.

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?
