Some tips on selecting a good book!

  • Think about what you like  ~ your hobbies and interests
  • Think about the kind of book you like  ~ fiction, nonfiction, picture book
  • Browse the shelves and look for the special spine stickers - Junior Library Guild, holiday, etc.
  • Read the back cover or the inside flap of the cover.  You will usually find a short summary of what the book is about.  Does it interest you?
  • Open the book and look at the pages and pictures.  Read a few.  Is it comfortable to read (Remember the “Five Finger Rule!”)  Did the author capture your interest?
  • Ask someone who enjoys reading to recommend a book or author.
  • Browse the shelf where your favorite author's books are.  There may be a new title waiting for you!
  • Look at the books on the return cart.  Someone else enjoyed those books, so maybe you will too.
  • Scan the books that are on display.  Often they are new titles or books that are of special interest.
  • Go to a computer and open the library catalog.  Search for some of your favorite topics by keyword or subject.
  • Ask Mrs. DeAntonis or your teacher for suggestions!
