Pauline Haass Public Library

 

LOOKING FOR A GOOD BOOK TO READ?
We have several ways for you to find just what you want!

Check out our Reader’s Advisory shelves, just to the right of the New Books area.  You’ll find many useful guides to give you ideas.  Do you know an author you like but you’ve read all his works?  Look in Genreflecting or What Do I Read Next? and find out who writes similar novels.  Other titles on those shelves will lead you to books named as favorites by celebrities, books that have been made into movies, and books read by various book clubs. 

 

NOW AVAILABLE -- BOOKNEWS NEWSLETTERS

We're excited to unveil BookNews newsletters! This reader's advisory service gives you access to free electronic newsletters about a wide variety of books. You can view the lists online or have them delivered directly to your email address on the 15th of each month. 

The newsletters include reviews, descriptions and author commentaries. Links within the newsletters take you directly to the CAFÉ catalog, so you can easily see if a title is available at the Pauline Haass Public Library or another library in the CAFÉ system. Please contact a reference librarian at 262-246-5181 for help if you do not find a title that you would like to read.

See this month's lists, or sign up now to choose the newsletters you wish to receive by email. Select lists based on genres, including new fiction, new non-fiction, mystery, classics, business, home and garden, science fiction and more! 

BookPage is a monthly book-review newspaper for current titles.  You’ll find it on the low tables in the lounge areas of the library.  Pick up a free copy to take home.  If we don’t own a title you see there, ask us to get it for you.
